CARTER TELLS FARMERS
FACTS ABOUT PTROTOL

What is Pyrotol, the new
war salvage explosive? What
is it good for? Can l secure
a supply? These are questions
farmers are asking about the
surplus war material just re
leased by the Government.
The Agricultural Engineer
ing Department College of Ag-
riculture, University of Ar
kansas, has prepared the fol
lowing information to answer
the questions being asked, ac-
cording to Prof. Deane G. Car
ter"
Pyrotol is composed princi-
pally of smokeless powder and
nitrate of soda. There is only
a small amount of nitroglycer-
in present, and it will not
cause a headache, from shoot
ing. 1t is clean handling
non-freezing explosive.
Pyrotol has a strength ap-
proXimately equal to 20 per
cent dynamite. 1t is meant to
be used for blasting stumps
and boulders, also for tree
planting and blasting lime
stone.
The cost is low, amounting
TO only about 10 cents per
pound, which Just covers the
cost Of caruidging, packing
and freight to Arkansas points.
Individual farmers may order
80 to 1000 pounds for their
own use. A so pound box con-
taint $50 sticks.
Orders are to be placed with
the county agent in the various
counties. A carload of 10000
pounds will be brought into
any community that will CO.
operate and place orders for
this amount. See your county
agent.

ence between the fafm price
and consumer price, according
to E. A. Hodson, marketing
agent, Extension Service, Col
lege of Agriculture, University
of Arkansas.
Some people have been ac-
customed to thinking that the
difference between the farm
price and the consumer price
is all profit to a class Of peo-
pie usually called middle-men
and this misunderstanding has
LED to much discussion of mar
keting and to much unpleasant
feeling toward middle-men in
general" Hodson declared.
There are certain necessary
costs in delivering any COM
modify to the consumer, Hod-
son pointed out.
"The minimum cost of hand
ling will result when the grow
er delivers his produce directly
to the door of the consumer"
he continued. "When the COM
modify is shipped a thousand
miles in car lots then there are
many costs that must be charg-
ed against the commodity. The
producer bears part of these
costs in an increased price.
Take a car lot Of Strawberries,
for example, shipped from an
Arkansas point to Chicago.
Picking costs 72 cents per
crate, the crate costs 35c.,
freight is about AZ cents per
crate, icing the refrigerator
car ID cents per crate; total
S1.69 per crate to deliver to
wholesler.
"The wholesaler sells about
20 crates each to 21 jobbers
the jobber in turn sells about
one crate each to about 20 re-
tailers and the retailer sells
about one quart or 1-10,030th
part of a car to a retailer. All
along the line there have
been drayag costs and some
loss from spoilage. And these
unavoidable costs must be adj
ded to the middleman's profit,
and he must make a profit to
stay in business-before the
Strawberries make their way

how it is spent, according to
Miss En- Patty, clothing spec
ialist, extension service, Col
lege of Agriculture, University
of Arkansas.
Good taste and judgn.ent
must be used in the choice Of
materials and selection of suit
able and becoming designs and
color" Miss Patty said.
"The care of the clothing af-
ter it is purchase IS import
ant. A girl may have clothes
for every occasion made of
lovely materials, given line and
color and yet if the clothing is
not kept in good condition a
person cannot be we'll dressed.
A few clothes well cared for
are better than many careless
ly kept.
mot only should clothes be
appropriate but they should be
clean, tidy and carefully put
on. The person wearing until
dy clothes cannot have self re-
spect or command the admira-
tion of others. Neatness and
comfort are especially desira-
BILE qualities in the clothing Of
a school girl. Good health, good
posture, personal habits of
cleanliness are of great import
ance in ones appearance. SIM
pie, appropriate and becoming
clothes indicate a we'll balan-
ced self respecting personality.
Simplicity is the keynote of
style. Avoid fads and ex-
tremes for a we'll dressed per-
son is never conspicuous.
"The clothing budget seems
to be a stumbling block with
many girls as we'll as house
wives. In order to buy clothing
to the best advantage one
should take an inventory of
her wardrobe and then select
articles carefully and thought
fully in order to complete her
wardrobe with care and appro-
priateness." b"

bership in the association, provided
he signs contract to deliver all of
the peanuts grown by or for him,
except such as may be retained for
his own use as seed, to the associa-

contracts are to expire with the de-
livery Of the 1927 crop, it is said.
"The original contracts signed
last year were for five years; those

years, and those IN 1927, for one

ISOLATION in being the largest single
factor in peanut prices averaging

Personal Opinions On
National Election By
CitiZenS OF Americas
BY w. K. S.

The third day of our at Han-
dom interviews show that the great
err portion of the people are still
faithful Democrats.
So far we haven't been very sue
cessful in getting the ladies to CO
mitt themselves on the question Of
voting. We approached lady yes
terday and asked her opinion on
the outcome of the election, she
told us that she thought Davis would
surely win, encouraged by this we
took it upon ourselves to ask her
how she was going to vote. Right
there was where we did the lady a
great injustice and showed very
poor diplomacy. She informed us
that she was not old enough to
vote. We explained that we acost-
ed her not because she looked day
over 81 but because she had such a
kind face.
Another lady we asked said she
didn't have vote and as yet she
hadn't jdeEided how her husband
was going to vote.
The people interviewed gave us
this:
R. B. CASTOR. Farmer. New 264h
district, says: Il call a spade spade
and | don't hesitate to tell you that
l am going to vote for La Follecte.
| am doing this because / think he
is the man that will do the masses
the most good. l won't vote a Re-
publican ticket and l won't vote for
Davis because he has one hand III
Rockfeller's pocket and the other
in Morgan's, he is Wall Street
man. My four boys are going to
vote for La Toilette and l think fifty
per cent of the voters in my side
of my district will cast ballot in
his favor"
j. A. Davenport. Insurance Agent
says: 81 think Davis is the man, am
of the opinion that he is the smart
est man that has been affiliated
with the Democratic party since
Wilson. I believe the Democrats
are going to win and feel that tney
are aided by the fact that a large
portion of the people have not for
gotten the oil scandals"
E. E. Bolton. Auto Salesman
says; Il am a Democrat and have
always championed their cause. l
am not going to leave the party now.
| feel sure the solid South will go
for Davis and 1 think she vii, be
followed by enough states to assure
him of election.
La Toilette is, | believe, going
to hurt the Republicans chance
more than the Democrats"
B. R. Fields. Proprietor Ouallty
Market, says: 81 was born Demo
crat and hope to die a Democrat.
Am supporting Davis for his quail
ties as we'll as for his party connec-
tons. | feel that the Democrats
will carry the election and thar the
time is ripe for the south to vote
solid. We have been through a be-
fiod of generalization for several
years and TO ra southern state to go
Republican now could mean she
would undergo demoralizing effects
for several years more"

Ter and gives more milk, a clipped
horse does more work, and the owner
profits. The task takes but a few min
utes with automatic clippers, which are
inexpensive and last a lifetime. No

highly important detail"
Mechanics have not only made the
removal of Old Dobbln's coat a SIM
pie matter, but have also slmplified
the shearlng of the nations sheep,
which Is already under way In the
West. Government tests proved that
machine shearlng secures from 10 to
10 per cent more wool than the old
hand blades, and each year sees new
installations of machine shears which,
sheepmen figure, pay for themselves
the first season. Shearlng a few
sheep formerly big problem to farm
ers, is being solved with the low-cost
hand-power machine shears. Farmers
organizations declare 1t big money
saver. They assert that the saving on
the first time over a flock Of twenty
sheep pays for this hand machine.
Each year finds America getting a
bigger average return from cows,
horses and sheep as a direct result
Of more scientific farming methods.

This is the season when Old Dobbin
steps up for his spring barberlng.
Statistics compiled by horsemen
show that as a result of the better
care given the work horse today, as
compared with a few years ago, the
life of the average horse is from one
TO two years longer. This better care
included not only a sensible ration and
proper housing, but removal of the
heavy winter coat when the warm
days Of spring arrive. During the
next few weeks millions of horses will
be barbered.
