About County Agents.
Fifty-one counties in Arkansas
have invested in county agricul
tural agents and it is the best
investment ever made by any
county. The county agent pays
for the in vestment in many ways.
One Agent reports the vaccina
tion of 2800 hogs in ten months;
another has vaccinated enough
horses and cattle for anthrax to
pay his salary for twenty years;
another, in addition to his other
duties, has conducted a campaign
for screen doors and windows
and has reduced the cases of
malaria; agents below the quar
antine line have built several
hundred vats and have supervis
ed the dipping of thousands of
cattle; in all the counties they
are directing the campaign for
clovers and cover crops and from
their work there will be thou
sands upon thousands of acres
of clovers and there will be more
acres of wheat and rye and oats
for winter cover crops than
ever before. X)ie county agent
and the home demonstration
agent are the only two employes
of a county- that vrprk for the
farmers all the time and the
state and nation will pay one
third of the salary. Every coun
ty in Arkansas should have these
two valuable agents. Farmers
who believe in the agent idea
should let their views be known.
State Agent, Little Rock, for in
formation.
S. A. Lane, general commer
cial manager of the Southwestern
Telegraph & Telephone Company
in Arkansas, has returned to his
offices in Little Rock after a va
cation of several weeks spent at
his old home in Georgia. Mr.
Lane visited a number of large
city telephone plants while away,
but says that none of them are
more up to date, and few so mod
ern as is the system in Arkan
sas. Mr. Lane futher states
that Georgia is the only state,
except Arkansas, in the South
with a good cotton crop. The'
boll weevil and excessive rains
finished the crop in other states.

Pick Cotton Early.
The cotton crop must be picked
out just as rapidly as possible if
the cotton growers are to do
much fall plowing this season.
Fall breaking is essential not
alone because it puts the land in
to better condition to produce
crops next year,-but because it is
absolutely necessary if cotton
growers are to protect their pro
fits from inroads of the boll wee
vil, the cotton wilt and cotton
anthracnose. The boll weevil
crop for next year can be very
materially reduced by turning
| under cotton stalks this fall just
as soon as the crop is gathered.
The stalks should be buried com
pletely. The anthracnose or boll
rot can be materially reduced by
the same '"treatment. This one
breaking, therefore, helps con
trol the insect which destroys
the squares and the disease
which destroys the bolls even
after they are able to get by the
weevil.
Fall breaking, therefore, in
such way as to turn under all
stalks will be one of the biggest
factors in producing a good cot
ton crop next year. The fall
breaking, by putting the land
I into better condition, will also
make it possible to produce more
; cotton in spite of the cotton wilt
! which now is affecting thousands
I of acres of cotton in Arkansas.
! Get the cotton picked early and
get the breaking plow started
just as early as possible. Put
the stalks under where
will not harbor insects^and
eases that would destroy
year’s crop.
