SAVE HOME GARDEN SEED.
There is a possibility of a serious
garden seed shortage this coming
year and everyone should make a
special effort to save at least
enough seed for the home garden.
Plants for seed production should
be most vigorous and prolific and if
seeds are selected from these
they will,undoubtedly,be equal to or
superior to BRhat can be bought and
at the same time will be true to
name and free from disease. For
the benefit of those who may wish
to supply their own garden seed,
an Extension Circular giving di
rections on how to save the seeds
of beans, peas, beets, carrots, cu
cumbers, egg plant, lettuce, okra,
peppers, parsnips, radishes, pump
kins, squash, sweet corn, tomatoes,
turnips and others has been pre
pared and will be sent to anyone
interested upon request.
COOK FOOD PROPERLY.
Food must bo cooked properly if
through the process of digestion
and assimilation the individual is to
get the most out of it. Simple
dishes well prepared are far better
than expensive dishes badly
cooked. Many persons are preju
diced against certain good foods
because when first tried the foods
were improperly cooked or pre
pared. Learn how to cook all
kinds of staple foods and to serve
them in a variety of ways. Try to
like every simple food; give it a fair
tiial. Recipes and instructions for
cooking all kinds of staple foods
will be sent upon request by the
Extension Division, Fayetteville.
Specify kind of food for which you
want recipes. ’
USE FERTILIZERS FOR POTATOES.
It will be false economy to fail to
use the customary amounts of
fertilizers for fall potatoes because
of the high prices. Every effort
should be made to increase the
yield per acre, not only because the
world needs food* but because
there never was a better opportun
ity for the farmers to make a good
profit from potatoes. There is
little danger of over-production be
cause of the large demands that
will be made upon the United
States by the European countries
in spite of the fact that conditions
indicate a yield somewhat higher
than last year. That fertilizers
pay is shown by the fact that
Eastern states use thousands of
tons every year and secure a yield
of from 200 to 300 bushels per
acre. Arkansas farmers could se
cure similar yields if proper atten
tion was paid to the fertility of the
soil.
Some growers are using a mix
ture of acid phosphate and cotton
seed meal at the rate of 500
pounds per acre, with good results.
On all except the very sandy soils
nitrate soda can be used at the
rate of 100 pounds per acre in
stead of the cottonseed meal and
even better results secured. It is
not advisable to use lime on pota
toes where there is any liklihood of
injury from scab, but if the seed is
treated with formalin or corrosive
sublimate and is planted on land
free from infestation, lime can be
used with profit at the rate of two
tons of ground lime stone or 1500
pounds of burned lime per acre.
PRODUCE CLEAN COOL MILK.
The dairy cow will do much to
produce wholesome food for the
family, particularly the children,
but Arkansas farmers must pro
duce more clean milk. Remember,
dirty milk is oftentimes a danger
ous disease carrier. Glean milk
can be produced with little care
and trouble. Clean hands of milk
ers, clean udder, milk pails which
| have been scalded after each milk
| ing and cool places for keeping the
milk are essential. If a cool cellar
or spring house is not available,
why not set cans of strained milk
in tubs of water in a shady place or
make an iceless refrigerator which
will keep it much longer? Write
to the Extension Division at Fay
etteville for bulletins on the pro
duction and care of milk.
INFERTILE EGGS INCREASE PROFITS.
Arkansas farmers lose thousands
of dollars every summer because
the eggs from the flocks spoil be
fore being marketed. The greater
part of this loss is due to a partial
hatching of fertile eggs which have
been allowed to become warm
enough to begin to incubate. Pro
duce infertile eggs and thus help to
increase the food supply in this
state and your farm profits. In
fertile eggs keep best and market
best in the summer, while fertile
eggs spoil quickly during hot
weather. The rooster does not
help the hens lay. but he merely
fertilizes the germ of the egg,which
is unnecessary if the eggs are not
11 be used for hatching purposes.
Thg fertile germ in hot weather
quickly becomes a blood ring which
spoils the egg for food and for the
market. Summer heat has the
same effect on fertile eggs as the
hen or incubator.
Smith-Meyers.

1917, at 3 o'clock, at the home of

July 16 and 17 Dipping Days.
Monday and Tuesday, July 16
and 17, will be dipping days for all
who expect to use the vat at Hut
tig to dip their cattle. I have been
given two days at this vat here
after, all who fail to dip will be re
ported without exception whatever.
All calves over one month old must
be dipped and those having colts
on the range will be required to
have them dipped. There will be a
charge of 5c per head this time to
finish paying for the improvements
made on vat as the other 10c per
head lacked some of paying it out.
I have an itemized statement from
Mr. Frost as to just how this mon
ey was spent, and the records 1
kept of who and how many cattle
were dipped the last time are open
for inspection to any or all con
cerned. This charge applies to all
those who helped to build the vat
as well as those who did not.
Yours respectfully,

Local Inspector.
COUNTY DEFENSE COUNCIL.
Organized at Cl Dorado Wednesday to Assist
the National Government.
About thirty patriotic citizens
from various parts of the county
met in the court house at El-Dora*
do Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock
and perfected the organization of
the Union County Council of De
fense by electing J. K. Mahony, R.
j N. Benson, C. H. Murphy, Albert
Rowell. Dr. H. H. Niehuss and
Finn Craig as the executive com
mittee. they to choose a secretary
who will also be a member of the
committee.
Geo. W. Mason, who was one of
the committee on organization ap
pointed by Gov. Brough and who
attended the meeting of the State
Council recently at Little Rock,
made an interesting talk on the
aims and duties of the County
Council. It is to be regretted that
every citizen in the county did not
hear him as the people would real
ize more fully than they do the
seriousness of the condition this
county faces on account of the
war and how careful all should be
in their speech and how alert to
detect anything to the detriment of
the government.
At this state meeting addresses
were made by men high up in mili
tary, railroad, agriculture, legal,
medical and other professions and
from the summary given by Mr.
Mason none of them looked for war
to end short of three years. The
fact that we would probably have a
greater car shortage than ever was
hinted at. The fact was also
brought out that France has every
available man in service and no
more to draw from and Eng
land's strength just about at its
zenith, Germany and her allies
have 700,000 more men in the
field now than at any time during
war and a new army of 800,000
ready to enter the service January
1st of next year. These two facts
alone should bring us to the real
ization of the fact that the winning
of this war is up to the United
States and every man, woman and
child should have patriotism
enough to do all in their power and
perform every reasonable service
requested of them and do so will
ingly.
The executive committee of the
County Council was empowered to
appoint a chairman in each town
and locality; said chairman to se
lect his own assistants to perform
whatever services they may be
called upon to do.
while the work of the council
will l?e largely that of coordinating
the work of various bodies now in
existence, such as the County
Council of Agriculture, Red Cross,
State and County Health Boards.
There will be much other work
that it will be necessary to per
form such as making an industrial
survey of the resources of the
county, assisting in the sale of
Liberty Bonds, preventing sedition,
furnishing military information, as
sisting the exemption board in their
work, as well as railroads, indus
trial plants, etc.
The chairman for Huttig will
probably be appointed by next
week and we trust that he will be
given all the assistance needed
along every line of Vork and that
no one who he may request to per
form some particular work will be
unpatriotic enough to refuse.
Storm Damage Sunday.
The storm Sunday afternoon did
considerable damage west of here
where it was accompanied with
hail and wind. A note from O. M.
Morgan states that it blew the roof
off of his crib and wagon shed and
blew down three hundred panels of
fence.
J. H. Teel’s barn was blown
down and one mule killed. Four
other mules in the barn escaped
but a wagon and buggy were
wrecked. R. C. Head has a large
field of new ground which is literal
ly covered with fallen trees and
brush.
The hail was the heaviest in
twenty years and completely
stripped the corn and did a great
deal of damage to the cotton and
peaches. The area covered was
about a mile wide and several miles
in length.
Harvey J. Hale Dead.
Harvey J., the youngest son of
Mrs. S. A. Hale, living near Litroe,
La., died at 9 o’clock Sunday night.
July 8, 1917, aged 20 years and
1 1 months, of congestion with
| which he was taken at noon the
day before. The funeral services
were held Monday afternoon at the
family home, interment being in
Union cemetery. The deceased
was the only one of five children at
home, and his death will therefore
be the harder on his widowed
mother, who has the sympathy of
! all in her trying hour.
Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as th* y cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
Is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
Inflamed you have a rumbling: sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which Is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall's Catarrh Cure acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the sys
tem.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Haii s Catarrh Cure. Circulars
free. All Druggist*. 75c.

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.
