FARMING HINTS
There is too much idle land
in Arkansas. Plant something
right away. Soy Beans and
peanuts will be very profitable
if planted now. Sorghum will
do fine and provide plenty of
forage. The amber .sorghum
will mature in ninety days.
Broadcasted they may be sown
with cowpeas which will make
good hay or silage. Drilled in
rows 3 feet apart and cultivat
ed, the yield will undoubtedly
be greater.
Save plenty of seed oats and
wheat. Varieties that have
made good in your locality are
to be preferred to seed from
a distance of unknown quali
tis. It is also not only extrag
igant but dangerous to buy and
bring in seed every year. It
has been reported by a number
of county agents that 90 per
cent of the seed oats brought
into the state last spring had
Johnson grass seed in it. Keep
out the weeds and save money
bv saving your own seed from
wheat, oats, rye, clover, alfal
fa and vegetables.
Arkansas needs a crop of
Irish potatoes for next win
ter’s home use and one that
will keep for the best prices.
Fall potatoes should be plant
ed July 15 to Augusta 1. Two
or three weeks before plant
ing, seed potatoes should be
put in a semi-shady place piled
not more than 4 inches deep,
covered with old straw and
leaves and kept moist until
they begin to sprout. As soon
as sprouts are one fourth of
an inch long, plant a little
deeper that is required for the
earhr crop and cover as soon as
possible to avoid damage from
the hot sun.
Cultivate corn shallow until
it begins to tassel if it has been
well worked and is clean. It
will probably not pay later
than this except where peas
or beans have been drilled in
between corn rows when a
light cultivation may help the
crops greatly without serious
injury to the corn if care is
taken. Cotton can, in the ex
perience of a number of our
best Arkansas farmers, be cul
tivated with profit until the
cotton begins to open if there
are no weevils. This is based
on the fact that where there
are no weevils cotton will keep
on making bolls until frost
comes.
Dipping cattle is a necessary
patriotic duty which must be
pushed during the war because
clean cattle thrive best, grow
larger and put on more m;eat
in the shortest length of time
and with the least amount of
feed per pound of gain. Any
one refusing to dip his cattle
must be counted an unpatriot
ic citizen, according to a recent
communication received from
Mr. Hoover by the state food
administrator and the state
veterinarian.

SHOWER BATHS
FORCHILDREN
Low Wash Basins and Little
Shower Baths Adapted for the
Use of the Tots.
Up In the mountains, where the
snow falls early and lies deep, 30 miles
from Lyons, is the little French village
of Les Halles—a story book village,
with its massive stone church standing
sentinel over two long rows of trim,
blue-gray plaster cottages. And a mile
farther on is the Chateau des Halles,
where your Red Cross has established
a home for 200 sick children.*
Manglni built the chateau. Man*
gini was the man who built the rail
road along the Riviera and many oth
er railroads in France. And thirty
odd years ago he built this castle up
In the mountains for his country home.
But soon after his two childreu died.
Then he d.ed, and when his widow fol
lowed him she left the chateau to the
city of Lyons to be used as a hospital
for children.
The War's Wreckage.
Then came the war. A little rivulet
of the war's wreckage began t© trickle
in at Evlan—“repatries,” elderly men
and women, children, even babies, who
had once lived in the parts of France
engulfed by the German tides and
whom the Germans, finding them use
less, were beginning to ship back into
France by wray of Switzerland. Grad
ually this rivulet swelled. Soon t,(MK)
of these unfortunates were arriving
at Evian daily. And fully half of
them were children, undernourished
thinly clad, dirty, sickly and, worse,
grim, spiritless, with faces that had
forgotten how to smile.
To care for these children, was the
task your Red Cross at once assumed.
Working with the French authorities,
the Red Cross secured permission to
make use of the old and almost forgot
ten Chauteau des Halles up there in
the mountains For years the castle
had been closed. No effort had ever
been made to fit It up as a hospital.
Your Red Cross had to begin at the
very beginning.
Rooms Big and Jolly.
But what a wonderful task It ha*
accomplished! The Chateau des
Halles, transformed Into a children’s
hospital and rest home in furious
haste under the terrible pressure of
war needs, with little time to think
twice and no time to retrieve errors,
is not only one of the most complete
establishments of Its kind; It is one of
the best children’s hospitals In all
France. The two rooms where the
arriving children are isolated for a
few days are big. Jolly rooms—just
what Is need to efface from the little
ones’ minds the memories of those iron
days behind the German lines. The
big play room is strewn with rocking
horses and wonderful smile-enticing
parrots and other toys carved h.v the
wounded poilus.
And so you stray from room to room,
and everywhere you find new evi
dences of this watchful care. And
then you reach the bathrooms. I his
chateau was built by a man of wealth.
Its plumbing was excellent, and yet it
has been stripped out and replaced
with little, low wash basins and little
shower baths that the children can use
more comfortably. __
