Politics at the Capitol

Little Rock. Feb. 20.-Never before,
perhaps, has political campaign been
so slow in taking form. The woods
are full of grounding candidates who
came out, saw their shadows and retir-
ed. for the time being. One of the
reasons for this is undoubtedly trace
able to the rumOr that the Ku Klux
Klan may put out state ticket 1t
is alleged, also, that certain guberna-
torial aspirants are holding Off to as
certain Gov. McRae's intentions. 1t
Is known that some of his close friends
are advising against running for a
third term. fearing that the ardors Of
the campaign might be too great a
physical strain upon him. 1t is stated
on very high authority that former
Congressman II. NJ. Jacoway is seri-
Oiisly considering being a candidate for
Governor. George NJ. Booth, of Sharp
County. who recently announced for
Secretary of State, confirms. so far
as he is concerned, the declaration
made by state officials of the Ameri-
can Legion that organization has at
no time contemplated endorsing can
didate. Mr.. Booth piloted the first
armored tank across the Hindenburg
line. SO far, Judge Carroll ID. Wood,
associate justice of the Supreme Court,
appears to be the only candidate with
out opposition either actual or pros
pectiye. The recent visit to Little
Rock of William J. Bryan has started
many of his prominent admirers to
boosting him for President.

Poultry Still Pays

Despite that many optimistic and
enthusiastic people have had sad eX-
pcriences as poultry breeders, poultry
growing pays if the grower puts into
the business the energy and intelll-
gence that would be necessary to sue
ceed In any other line of business Ar
kansas should grow more poultry, for
in no state are the opportunities for
the profitable production Of chickens
and eggs better than here. We have
many thousands of acres of land that
can be bought for n song aud that can
be used as well for poultry farms as
could very high priced lands.
Arthur W. Large agricultural agent
for the Rock Island lines, recently re
ccivcd n letter from G.. VI. Krusc, who
has a poultry breeding farm near Hot
Springs. The letter should interest
those who long for the independence
Of Il small farm. Mr.. Krusc's farm Is
in the pine covered and rock sirewn
hills, but he is making hcadway. lie
has been at the business only a Few
months, but his profits prove that he
can make the venture pay. His cash
profit during the first year OF busl-
ness from something like 800 hens was
SG28.25 But with the better equip
ncut he Is putting In and with the

experience gained he expects to do
much better In 1924. Incidently, he
is making the cheap land valuable
through fertilization. And It Is his
land. He is independent. He lives
well and his living comes from his own
garden and his own stock.
Arkansas should be one Of the great
poultry states of the Union and will
be- some day. When that day arrives
towns that have slept for years will
come forth as prosperous small cities.
Chickens gave the little Tennessee
town Of MOrristOwn national fame as
a poultry market. Any one of hun
drcd towns in Arkansas could do as
well. --.Gazette.

Bread From SOybean

The white loaf of the present day is
not the "StaiT of life" that bread was
when this proverbial phrase was coin
ed. To correct II deficiency of protein
In white bread the Linn County Soy
bean Growers Association of Linneus,
Missouri, recently induced the baker
Of this County Seat town to use the
new soybean -four in his Friday bak-
ing. Customers were at first slow to
buy this new cream colored loaf. When
put to the test of taste" 1t won the
admiration of every customer in the
city Of Linneus. on Saturday within
thirty minutes after the baking of
soybean bread was removed from the
oven it was all sold and customers
stood waiting in line for serving.
The baker ask the County Agricul-
tural Agent, J. Robert Hail. to explain
why this bread was so much better
Upon analyzing II the protein content
was found doubled, ash increased ma
terially and fat contend more than
twice as high as In white bread. This
improved the modern ''stafr of life" at
little or no increase in the cost to the
consumer.
Its popularity has grown and spread
rapidly. This nationally known. Asso-
citation of farmers has had many calls
for information as to how this nutri-
tious bread is made and how they
obtain the bean flavor. Six other
places in the State have started using
1t. At state meeting recently held
it was served as the main course OF
luncheon. II is credited with prop
critics that will revise the heath OF
heavy bread eaters.
Much praise is given this organlza-
tiOn, the first OF its kind In the United
States which has as It's object the pro-
duction of a superior variety OF this
new bean, the Morse. for feeding all
classes Of liyestock.-The Bulletin,

GREEN FEED

The laying flock should have access to green pas
ture at all times Sow a small patch Of oats or rye
for your flock.
After the flush laying season is passed. the hens
begin to drop of in egg production. This decrease
begins about the middle of June and the first of July,
but can he held up considerably by changing your
feed somewhat A great many breeders barely pay
their expenses from July because they do not
understand how to feed their laying hens to keep
them producing until late in the fan.
When this decrease in production starts the ra-
tion is changed very little. The composition of the
ration is not changed but it is fed in little different
form The morning scratch feed is discontinued and
about ten o'clock in the morning the hens are fed a
moist mash made by mixing just enough water or
milk, milk preferred to the dry mash to make 1t
crumby. Just feed what the hens will clean up IN
twenty or twenty-five minutes. This has tendency
to stimulate the birds appetite and therefore keep mp
egg production by getting the birds to consume
greater amount Of the mash which is the egg max
ing part of the ration.
The following is the feeding program for the day:
In the morning the birds given enough butermlk
to last during the morning. At ten o'clock they are
given all the moist mash they can clean up in twenty
minutes The grain ration is fed at four-thirty when
the eggs are gathered. The dry mash is before the
hens in dry mash hoppers at all times. Let them
have all the fresh clean water they will drink at all
times.
1t is very important to save your pullets hatched
off in February or March and keep them steadily
growing as the early pullets will begin laying earlier
in the fall than those hatched off late.
The above information was furnished us by
Lydle =. smith. County Agricultural Agent for Ran
dolph County and we sending 1t out for the bene
fit Of the people of this county who are Interested in
poultry.
