MAKE WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS
Tendency to Eradicate Disease in
Areas Containing Many Farms
Is Latest Development.

A noteworthy development in bovine
tuberculosis eradication is the tendency
to free from that disease areas con-
tanning many farms. The annual re-
port of the bureau of animal indus
try, United States Department of Ag-
riculture, just issued, lists the follow
ing reasons, which made tuberculosis
tests of all cattle within their bound
aries during the last fiscal year: Clay
county, Mississippi; Island county,
Washington; Clatsop county, Oregon,
and the District of Columbia. Depart
ment officials believe that eradication
of tuberculosis will proceed more rap
idly, even than in the past, when it is
taken up on the area basis.

these places carefully with plain lard,
lard to which a few drops of kero-
sene have been added or by using a
drop of olive oil. Too much grease
may prove fatal to the poults.
AS the poults grow, lice will some
times be present in harmful numbers
son who does not know where to look
for them. If one looks In the hollows
or creases on the upper side of the
wing between the quilts of the main
wing feathers, they may find hiding
places there literally swarming with
lice. Grease applied to these places
will prove effective in getting rid of
the lice.
Lice may also occur on other parts
of the body and must be combated.
If your young turkeys are droopy
and unthrifty and you have examined
them without finding any lice, do not
be too sure that none are present I'M
til you have tried the following ::
Submerge the little turkey in warm
water, holding 1t with just its bill
sticking out, so that it can breathe,
until the entire plumage is wet.
Then remove 1t from the water and
wrap in a light-colored cloth which
has previously been warmed, and hold
1t in this manner for several min
utes. Then take the cloth off. If
there are no lice, on it, the turkey
Is free from them, and some other ex-
PLANTATION than lice must be sought for
It's condition. Usually, however. a
surprisingly large number of lice will
be found on the cloth, even in cases
where a cursory examination had con-
WINGED the owner that it was absolute
ly free.

Careful Observation Needed.
In flocks of 80 or more, a three-com

for every ten hens. In smaller flocks,
a slightly larger proportion of nests
is needed Numbered bands are placed
on the legs of the hens and a record

FEEDING PIGEONS IN WINTER
Failure to Provide Proper Kind and
Quantity of Grain in Winter
Causes Falling Off.

Neglect in feeding the right kind
and amount of grain to pigeons in cold
weather is often the cause of the
marked falling off in the production
of squads in winter. More time and
effort is required to feed and manage
pigeons at this time of the year, but
the owner is well paid for the extra
work.

The most prepossessing hen is not
always the most industrious layer.
She may be the loudest cackler, but if
her owner uses trap nests she cannot
fool him. He can check up on results.
The trap nest is so arranged that when
the hen enters she is confined until re-

EXCELLENT FEED FOR SHEEP
SiIage Made From Corn on Which
Grain Is Just Beginning to Harden
is First-Ciass.

Finely cut silage, made from corn
on which the grain is beginning to
harden, is first-class sheep feed, and
may be fed in limited quantities with
the best of success. About a pound
and a half to three pounds daily to
a eve weighing around $50 pounds
will supply about the correct amount
of silage. AT no time should you at
tempt to feed silage spoiled in the
least, or of inferior quality.

BLACKHEAD Is MOST DEADLY
Cases of Infection Are Few Where
Turkeys Are Given Free Range
at All Seasons.

OF the infectious diseases of tur-
keys, blackhead is the most destruc-

climate and range conditions are such
as to permit of the turkeys foraging
for most of their feed from the time
they are Matched until they are mar

WINTER SHELTER FOR DUCKS
Breeding Fowls Must Be Furnished
With Some Protection Against
Cold Rains and Snow.

Although adult ducks are so well
protected by their feathers that they
can stand great deal of dry cold
weather, the breeding birds must be
furnished protection from the cold
winter rains and SHOWS and they must
have a dry floor on which to roost.
Therefore suitable shed or building
should be made available for the fowls
before the coming of winter. The
building may be quite simple in con-
struction and much less expensive
than one for hens.

YILON|A HIGHWAY
 10 BE FULL WIDTH

Assurances that sufficient state and federal aid would be granted to build the Conway-Vilonia highway II feet
 wide from Holmes store to the White county line were given to commits sioners of the district by State High way Engineer R. c. Limerick at a conference at Little Rock yesterday. Those attending the conference were Dr. J. B. Mum of Vilonia, chairman, Opie Hartje, secretary, V. D. Hill, member of the board and R. F. Min ton, engineer for the district.
 On account of lack of sufficient funds it had been practically decided to build the road only 12 feet wide from Holmes store east, 16-foot width having already been laid from Conway to Holmes store. The state highway commission, on the ground that 12-foot surface is virtually only a one-way road, last week granted $2O, 900 additional federal aid for the pur- pose of widening the road to IA feet as far east as would be possible.
 At yesterdays meeting Mr. Liner ick directed the local engineer to make plans for a new federal aid section of the highway running from Vilonia to the county line, a distance of four and one-half miles. It is estimated that about $10,000 additional aid will be required to make the road full width throughout and the state en- lneer assured the commissioners that the necessary balance would be grant ed.

GOOD BUSINESS TO KEEP BUSY
(Contributed.)

Yes, she's stronger than l, plays basket ball, you know. She stops practice late, makes a flying leap at the bug gy without changing her "togs" and we get home in time to scrape the pot If supper is served late. She has a little conscience, however, for if 1 get after her hard enough she will then ask the coach to let her off at half past four.
 We jog along behind the little blow pony at the rate of the whole five miles in two hours.
 She meets an o'clock class; how long does it take to get ready to start for school in the morning? Well, if you hurry you can make it in three quarters of an hour from the time you arise. What with the little blow pony and the o'clock class it leaves time left for sleep and study An athlete can use eight hours of sleep. She's good one; when asked if she meant to practice she answered.:
 Sure, what do you think I come to school for, to study?" And yet the girls like her just before math. class, and she makes As and B's in English and history. Is she busy ? Of course; why, sure; that's the way she got the Hendrix scholarship over us other club members. Why, she has her mind on her Latin all the time. If you rode with her may be you could learn a little.

HOPE TO OPERATE
 M. & N. A. LINE
tBy the Associated Presay

St. Louis, Dec. 21.-Resumption of operations on the Missouri and North Arkansas railroad this winter or early in the spring is the hope of the security holders of the road, who have been represented by Festus J Wade of St. Louis in negotiations with the Interstate Commerce Com mission.
 MT. Wade, who was in Washington last week in connection with the mat ter and took it up with President Harding as we'll as with the commis- sion, expects to be in Washington January 5, when the commission will take up the application for loan of $3,500,000.
 The corporation proposes to use this money, if obtained, to pay off re- ceiver's certificates to the amount of s2,062,750; for betterments and equip ment, s750,000; to pay floating in- debtedness, s490,000; the balance to be held in the treasury as working capital.
 The governments security, Wade said, will be first mortgage on the road, and the stock and bonds will be offered as collateral.

 summer studying the good road sit uatlon and who wrote such an able article for the Outlook, IS stllI inter
 ested in the state and its deve.op- ment. This is shown in a recent let ter which he wrote to Dr. J. II. Key
 holds, president of Hendrix College. The following are extracts from the letter:
 T wrote that article because l be- lieved that 1t portrays facts in gen. eral.
 T was brought up in backwoods territory in the Cabinet mountains in Idaho, where every single foot of progress was as bitterly opposed as the battle of Bull Run.
 Il haven't the slightest doubt but what a few lawyers, with fee in mind, agitated hill-billies in Arkansas to high pitch of excitement and re- sentiment over the road building pro- gram after cotton had reached the low level of eight cents a pound. Faulkner county bore the brunt of the Times attack. That's why l was so tremendously surprised when l wis ited Conway and found so little op- position.
 Il am under no illusion regarding the service l have rendered your state. 1 am not egotistic about 1t. don't believe, though, that the citi- zens of your state could place value on the services the Outlook and 1 have rendered. We have at least brought before the public the fact that you have some honest and in- dustrious people out there, and where the state hadn't been able to raise a dollar on it's bonds in eight or Eine months before 1 wrote that article, 1 find that since it's appearance bank CTS and brokers are willing to invest their money in your state, and with out men and money, the eastern DOT tion of Arkansas will be a long time in attaining it's proper place in the agricultural world. With money to construct roads and ditches, and clear lands, it will, in a very few years, be- come the garden spot of the world.

MOSfR TO ADDRESS FAULKNERFARMERS ON COTTON MARKETING Nearly 1000 Bales Signed Up in this County by Arkansas Cotton
 Growers Association.

So great an interest is being man. ifested in Faulkner county in the sign-up campaign of the Arkansas Cotton Growers Association, the or ganizers stated today, that c. o. Mo ser of Dallas, Tex, secretary of the American Cotton Growers Exchange, the parent organization of the var ious state associations, has been se- cured for an address to the farmers of this county at the courthouse in Conway next Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock. MT. Moser arrived in Lit tie Rock yesterday and will spend the remainder of the month in Ark ansas in winding up the campaign.
 Nearly 1000 bales have been con- tracted in this county, according to M. c. Graham, one of the organizers who is spending the week here. En- thusiastic meetings, he said, were held at three points last night, at which 274 bales were signed, and in Conway a total of 445 more bales were secured. Added to the 274 se- cured at Monday nights meetings, the total to date is 991.
 At Damascus last night, where Mr. Graham conducted the meeting, IA farmers signed for 108 bales. At Martinville, where meeting was con- ducted by w. w. Newman, II farm CTS signed 79 bales. At Wooster a meeting was held by H. L. Kimry and nine farmers signed for 87 bales.
 Meetings will be held by the three organizers tonight at Greenbrier, Guy and Perkins.
 Postmaster G. E. Owen, who owns large river plantation, today signed a contract to sell 300 bales through the association, Mir. Graham reported and Assistant Postmaster C. V. Hin kle signed for 50 bales. William R. and Howard James contracted for the sale of 95 bales from their river plan tation.
