FALL CROP OF IRISH POTATOES.
There seems to be no doubt in
the minds of many of the best
farmers in Arkansas that a profita
ble fall crop of Irish potatoes can
be grown if all the necessary pre
cautions are observed. This,
coupled with the fact the supply
in Arkansas is fast being depleted,
has made it advisable for the spec
ialists at the College of Agriculture
at Fayetteville to speak up. Con
sequently, Prof. W. H. Wicks has
written Circular No. 30 which
deals with this subject thoroughly.
In this circular Prof. Wicks points
out the varieties which are most to
be depended upon. He also dis
cusses the question of seed and
seed sources, preparation of land,
when to plant, how to plant and
how to cultivate, as well as the
best methods of harvesting and
storing the crop. 35.000 copies
of this circular are just off the
press and any farmer in Arkansas
who desires this information should
write to the College of Agriculture,
Fayetteville, for this circular.
CARE FOR THE HARNESS.
All kinds of leather are going up
and prices will, no doubt, continue
to soar. Farmers should give their
harness and other leather goods
more attention. All kinds of har
ness should be washed frequently
with luke-warm water, using an
ordinary good neutral (not alkali)
soap applied with a sponge or good
brush. Harness should be risned
in clean water and hung up to drip.
Before drying, castor or some oth
er good oil with a little tallow may
be used. Apply all the oil that can
be rubbed in with the hand and be
fore using the harness rub well
with a clean cloth to take up all
the excess grease.
PREVENT EROSION SAVE FERTILITY.
Thousands of dollars in soil fer
Jm
tility are lost to the farmers of Ar
kansas every year through soil
erosion or washing which permits
the rich surface soil on sloping
lands to get away. Terracing will
stop, or greatly lesson, this loss.
The county agents throughout the
state during the past year have
helped the farmers build several
hundred miles of terrace and they
will be glad to help you do the
same. It will pay you to get in
touch with tlierh at your first op
portuity.
GARDEN WORK FOR JUNE.
Thus far the gardens over the
state are looking fine and it should
the aim of every one to keep up the
supply of the different vegetables
by making additional plantings.
The price of vegetable foods does
not seem to be lowering very fast
and if we go into another winter
without a supply of vegetables in
the garden, dried or in cans in our
cellars, we are very likely to be
forced to do without them. Let
us think of these things during the
season of plenty and provide for
the winter months. Additional
plantings of lima beans, beans,
sweet corn, tomatoes, cucumbers,
etc., should be made this month.
Also sow seeds of cabbage, col
lards, etc., for transplanting later
in th6 season. Do not forget the
value of the sweet potato as a food
and plant a good sized patch of
them if you have the space. Re
member that frequent stirring of
the soil to a depth of two to two
and one-half inches is a great help
in the saving of moisture which the
plants must have during the dry
hot days of summer. Have you
any pole beans in your garden?
Then provide something for them
to run or climb on. Keep the beans
pulled off as they mature and the
vines will bear for a longer season.
Begin preparing now for a real fall
garden and let's see just how much
we can do along the garden line
during the fall months.

Organgize Red Cross.
At the close of the services at
the Baptist church Monday even
ing a temporary organization of the
American Red Cross was perfect
ed by the election of C. A. Berry
as temporary chairman and Rev.
E. F. Cole as temporary secretary.
The mission of the Red Cross
was explained and also the cam
paign for new members and raising
the $ 1 00,000,000 for war relief,
of which amount Arkansas is to
raise $1.500,000 or $1 for each
inhabitant. A committee consist
ing of Mesdames D. M. Clowney.
W. H. Moore. H. F. Mayfield. T. B.
Weaver. J. B. Crockett and J. P.
Fenton, was oppointed to solicit
members and funds and the per
rhanent organization will be per
fected at a meeting to be held next
Monday night.
You cannot give of your means
to a more noble or righteous cause
and as Huttig's apportionment of
this vast amount is $1,240, every
body will have to strain a point and
give all they can, but those who
give will be doing only their duty
as we who do not go to the front
could well afford to give our all and
be ahead.
There is more Catarrh In this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and for years it was sup
posed to be incurable. Doctors pre
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Catarrh is a
local disease, greatly influenced by con
stitutional conditions and therefore re
quires constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is a consti
tutional remedy, is taken internally
and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System. One Hundred
Dollars reward is offered for any case
that Hall's Catarrh Cure fails to cure.

General Acts of the Legislature.
A synopsis of the general acts of
the last session of the general as
sembly are printed in this issue of
the News and should be read ty
every subscriber and filed away for
reference. The legislature every
session passes a number of laws
which the general public has no
way of hearing about except
through this published synopsis
and all should avail themselves of
the opportunity now offorded. We
notice that a law was passed fixing
the liability for damage done by
a sheep killing dog and taking away
the right of the owner of the dog
to claim damages if he is killed.
This is only one of a number of
good laws enacted and all now
have a chance to get wise along
this line.

Don’t Envy Your
Successful Neighbor
Just resolve to be successful yourself. The same
principles that have made others successful will make you
successful. Ask any successful man of your acquaintance
or read the secrets of success laid down by any man who
has beome famously successful and you will find that their
success came from their habits of saving some part of ev
erything they earned. They early established the saving
habit and when the great opportunities came they we> e
ready. Too many of us look upon saving only as a tempo
rary arrangement and fail to realize that it is the careful,
steadv and systematic, saving that counts. Do not make
resolves that are toe great for you to ever carry out but
start now to save some certain part of everything you earn
all you can possibly spare—and success will crown your
efforts. We will appreciate your account.
