HOME MADE FLY PAPER.
To make home-made fly paper,
mix together equal parts by meas
ure of resin and castor oil. Stir
over hot water until mixed, then
while still a little warm spread it or.
any good strong paper that is net
too porous—foolscap is good.
FOR CUT WORMS.
Poison bait must be used when
cut worms become bad. Prof
Eecker. of the Arkansas College of
Agriculture, recommends this mix
ture: Wheat bran, 20 pounds:
Paris green. 1 pound: cheap syrup
2 quarts; oranges or lemons, 3;
water, 3 gallons. Mix the Paris
green with the bran until the pois
on is thoroughly scattered through
the bran. Squeeze the lemons or
the oranges into the water, cut up
the peeling and pulp into fine
pieces and add this. Now add the
syrup to the fruit juice, then mix
the sweetened fruit juice and pois
on bran thoroughly. Scatter the
poisoned bait in the evening as the
worms are not so likeiy to eat it
after it dries. Keep chickens away
from it while it is fresh.
BOYS AS PARTNERS.
Farmers are neglecting a vital
thing in the education of their boys
in agriculture when they fail to en
ter into partnership with them in
the growing of livestock. The
fathers of the two thousand "pig
club” boys in Arkansas are wise and
it will be a fine thing if they will go
right from pigs to hogs and calves
and colts. Help the boy to make
money and at the same time help
his character by encouraging him
in the handling and owning of good
stock. Make a fair square con
tract with the boy and tie him to
agriculture and help him to a prac
tical agricultural education. The
pig and poultry club youngsters of
Arkansas are leading the way to a
greater agriculture and to a greater
Arkansas. Write the state agent
in Boys’ Club work, Extension Di
vision University of Arkansas and
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Little Rock, for bulletins for tne
boys.
HOG VACCINATION.
During the last year serum from
the plant at Little Rock, conduct
ed by the veterinary department of
the College of Agriculture, has
been sent to every county in Ar
kansas, and men from the office of
the state veterinarian and the
county agricultural agents have
vaccinated hogs in every county.
In many counties about half the
time of these agents has been de
voted to this work, to the neglect
of regular farm demonstrations.
In hundreds of cases agents have
spent three or four hours on the
road, going and coming, and thirty
■> minutes in vaccinating three or
| four hogs. Farmers cannot afford
} to have their agents use their time
] in that way. There is only one
| remedy and that is for each farmer
5 to vaccinate his own hogs or for
* the farmers of a neighborhood to
arrange for one or two neighbors
to do it. Don’t make a first class
agent do all this work. One coun
ty agent in Arkansas has fifty
farmers with instruments, and a
progressive banker in the county
seat keeps a supply of serum on
hand all the time and the agent
has time to attend to farm demon
strations and to the boys.
farmers' meetings.
The Extension Service of the
University of Arkansas and U. S.
Department of Agriculture has
held farmers' meetings this year in
every county in the state, preach
ing safe farming, pastures and live
stock. Now the campaign for
farmers’ meetings will begin on
July 17, 1916, in Southwestern
Arkansas and also in Northwestern
Arkansas. About a dozen speak
ers will be available and it is
planned to hold four to six meet
ings in every county before Christ
mas. Farmers are urged to talk
to their county agents as to where
they want the meetings held and
what subjects they want discussed.
USE POWDERED LEAD ARSENATE.
Arkansas farmers will need to
use lead arsenate to fight the pota
to bugs this year instead of Paris
green, because it is only about half
as expensive. Secure lead arse
nate in the powdered form, not in
the form of paste. Put it in a very
small sack made of cheese cloth or
anything else through which the
material will dust out. Apply in
the morning while the dew is on by
shaking the sack of material di
rectly over the plants. A little ex
perience will soon show how much
to shake because it is only neces
sary that a light cloud of the arse
nate of lead settle down on the
leaves of the plants. The lead ar
senate is poison and should not be
left out where animals will have
access to it. There is no danger,
however, in using it as suggested
above. Dust the potato plants and
stop the ravages of the bugs.
Watch the patch closely and repeat
the dusting when the bugs begin to
appear again.
WHAT ABOUT HOG PASTURES?
Soy beans are generally con
ceded to be one of the South's best
crops for hog pasture. Corn in
Arkansas is too expensive to feed
alone to hogs. Bermuda pasture
is good, cowpea pastu re is better,
but best of all have some soy
beans for the late summer pasture.
The medium yellow is a good va
riety. Get it planted right away if
possible. Get some in after the
wheat or oats. Get some soy
beans planted for the hogs, some
for hay and some for enriching the
land. Try them. Try them again.

Presidential Pointers.
Only one candidate for president
died between the election and
meeting of the electoral college.
Horace Greeley, the Democratic
and Liberal candidate, having died
before the meeting of the electora1
college. ’ The Democratic electoral
yote was divided among four can
didates. B. Gratz Brown, Demo
cratic and Liberal candidate for
vice-nresident, received 47 votes.
19 less than the number of Demo
cratic electors.
James S. Sherman candidate for
vice-president on the Republican
ticket—1912, died on October 30.
a few days before the election. No
provision was made by the Repub
lican National commif-ee for nomi
nating a successor, and at the
meeting of the state electoral col
leges the Republican electors
chosen in Vermont and Utah
eight in all—voted for Nicholas
Murray Butler of New York.
Washington, Monroe and Jack
son were soldiers in the Revolu
tionary war: Jackson. W. H. Harri
son. Tyler and Buchanan in the
war of 1812-15: Lincoln in the
Black Hawk war; Taylor, Pierce
and Grant in the Mexican w^r:
Grant. Hayes. Garfield, Arthur, B.
Harrison and McKinley in the Civil
war, and Roosevelt was in the war
with Spain. Adams and Jefferson
were signers of the Declaration of
Independence, and Washington and
Madison of the Constitution.
The Democratic National con
vention of 1912 was held in Balti
more from June 25 to July 2. Al
ton B. Parker being temporary
and Oliie M. James permanent
chairman, forty-six ballots were
taken. Champ Clark leading till
the thirtieth when he was passed
by Woodrow Wilson. On the 10th
and seven following ballots Clark
got more than ha!f the votes cast,
but as two-thirds are necessary in
a Democratic convention he was
finally defeated. Other prominent
candidates were Judson Harmon of
Ohio, Oscar W. Underwood of Ala
bama and Thomas R. Marshall of
Indiana. Marshall was chosen as
the candidate for vice-president on
the third ballot.

May Weather.
The highest temperature record
ed here during May was on the
13th, 26th. 27th and 28th. when
it was 94 degrees and the lowest
was on the 18th when it was 45
degrees. The rainfall for the
month was 6.46 inches.
Appointments for New Governor.
The usual speculation is being
indulged in*as to the policy which
the incoming governor will adopt in
making appointments to official
positions, that is whether he will
be actuated primarily by a desire
to reward friends, or will look first
to the "good of the service." Close
friends of Governor-elect Brough
say that he will demand of office
seekers a great deal more than po
litical fitness. In other words, "I
helped-elect-you" will be no
sesame at all unless backed up by
ability.
The following are some of the
most important positions which it
| will fall to the lot of the governor
i to fill by appointment: Two peni
tentiary commissioners at a salary
of $3,000 per annum: two mem
bers of the board rf control: $2.
500: labor commissioner. $2,000:
two members of the tax c omis
sion. $2,400: bank commioner.
$3,000: mine inspector. $2,000.
Politicians who claim to be in a
position to know declare that Dr.
Brough has made no specific prom
ises of appointments and that he
will occupy the unique position of
being able to exercise a free hand,
so far as such a thing is politically
possible.
Methodist Church Services.
The following services will be
held at Union church Sunday: Sun
day school at 1 0:00 a. m. Preach
ing at 1 1 a. m. and 8:00 p. m. by
the pastor. Junior League at 3:00
p. m. Epworth League at 7:00 p.

ed to ail to attend these services.
Rev. S. K. Burnett Pastor.
The announcement from Garland

W. H. Martin of Hot Springs may
