GET SOMETHING ON STUBBLE L*ND.
Somebody has to raise every
thing our soldiers eat. Do your bit
and get semething on stubble land.
Produce more food and more for
age for meat production. Cow
peas, peanuts, sorghum and sweet
potatoes can still be planted. The
yields of forage from these late
planted Crops are good even though
lighter than can usually be expect
ed from the earlier plantings. A
combination of sorghum and cow
peas, seeded with a grain drill, will
probably produce as large a yield
of forage as anything. Gorn plant
ed in rows five or six feet apart
with cowpeas, soybeans or peanuts
drilled through the middle is a good
practice where grain is desired and
the forage can be pastured. Plant
ing cowpeas or soybeans in the
row with corn makes an excellent
combination for the silo, especially
on good soils. * ,
BREED SOWS AND GILTS NOW.
Now is the time to breed sows
for fall litters. The number of
brood sows in the state is smaller
this year than last. The pork sup
ply must be increased. It is best
to wait until gilts are eight months!
old before breeding, but in view of
the shortage of pork this practice I
should be dropped for the present!
and animals five and six months old
should be mated. Particular care '
should then be (riven to keep the
gilt growing and in thrifty condi
tion. More care is essential for
the young gilt than for the sow, al
though both should always have
good .attention. . Large litters can
be obtained by havi’rigkUtn& sows
gaining before they are bred. Use
only pure bred animals, thus ob
taining more uniform pigs that will J
mature more quickly with good !
treatment and grow to larger size, j
Plan on early fall pigs. Sows j
bred June 15 should farrow about |
October 5.
SAVE IRISH POTATO, PLANT FALL CROP.
Save the early crop of Irish po- j
tatoes and grow a fall crop or Ar
kansas will face a serious shortage |
and prohibitive prices. The ex
perience of the best farmers in the
state tend to prove that the spring
crop can be saved and a very good
stand can be secured for a fall crop
by the proper preparation of the
seedbed, by the proper care of the
potatoes to be used and by using
only mature potatoes for seed.
Detailed information concerning
how to handle the early crop and
produce a fall crop can be secured
by writing to the Acting Director
of the Extension Division. Do not
forget with the present high price
of potatoes the shortage of acreage
on account of the cost of seed and
the great demand that will proba
bly increase rather than dininish,
every farmer should prov de for
his own use and be certain to have
his own seed nex^ s oring.
HOG CHOLERA RAGING AGAIN.
Hog cholera is raging again in
some parts of the state. Do not
permit it to get started in your
herd. This year above all others
is time to be careful. Your pork
ers are too valuable to lose. Vac
cinate all hogs and take care of the
pigs as soon as they are weaned.
Save your next year’s pork supply
by acting at once, and observe the
law by burning all carcasses. Re
port all sick herds in your neigh
borhood to the county agent or to
the state veterinarian at Little
Rock. Do not forget that vacci
nation does not immunize your
hogs against all other diseases.
90 per cent of the Arkansas hogs
d>e from neglect. If you want re
suits keep them clean inside and
out. No farm animal responds to
clean surroundings as does the hog.
Sanitary conditions will do much
to keep hogs thrifty and growing.
It will pay to disinfect the buildings
the hogs have access to. For this
purpose dissolve 5 pounds of laun
dry soap in warm water; add 1 gal
lon of crude carcolic acid, stir well
and add 50 gallons of water. A
good condition powder for hogs
and one which should be used free
ly can be made from:
Wood charcoal, 1 pound
Sulphur, 1 pound.
Sodium chloride, 2 pounds
Sodium bicarbonate, 2 pounds
Sodium hyposulphide, 2 pounds
Antimony sulphide, (black anti
mony) 1 pound
Sodium sulphate. 1 pound.
Use a large tablespoonful to each
100 pound hog once daily mixed in
slop.
HATCH CHICKENS—NOT TOO LATE.
With the present price of chick
ens, it is time to get over the eron
eous idea that chickens cannot be
hatched during the summer and
fall. Every Arkansas farmer
should do his best to help increase
the food supply by raising more
chickens, since the production of
poultry can be greatly increased
without much extra cost. Re
member, poultry consume bugs and
insects which usually reduce crops
but have a food value for the hen.
To avoid trouble with summer
chicks and to prevent them from
getting sick, feed carefully. Be
sure they get plenty of protein.
Protein can be supplied by feeding
velvet bean meal, pea meal, soy
bean meal, peanut meal, cotton
seed meal or meat scraps. There
is still time to plant plenty of corn,
soybeans, cowpeas and peanuts for
feed and plan on wheat and oats to
be sown in the fall for winter graz
ing and grain for next summer.
Raise pullets for eggs next spring,
DO NOT FORGET FAMILY HEALTH.
In the rush to raise maximum !
crops and do your share in produc
ing food and feed, do not forget the
health of the family. Remember,
your greatest asset is good health
for yourself and family. For good
health you must not only have a
supply of vegetables to be put up
for next winter and plenty of meat,
but you must observe the recog
nized rules of sanitation. Do not
forget that flies carry filth on their
feet and spread disease, while mos
quitoes are recognized carriers of
typhoid fever. Watch the water
supply. Be sure the well is not
located so it be contaminated from
the barn and other outhouses. Rid
the place of all dead animals and
filth by burning. Watch the dairv
cow for tuberculosis. It is a rec
ognized fact that tuberculosis can
be given to the milk cow by an in
dividual and if the disease is pre
valent in a single cow or herd it
can be transmitted to the members
of the family.
There is too much typhoid, ma
laria an'd tuberculosis in Arkansas.
We cannot do our full share in the
campaign for efficiency and pre
paredness unless we take precau
tions against diseases. Take time
to put up the screens and use ev
ery precaution to protect your fam
ily. _

To get thenews read The Newt j
flag Raising at Strong.
About two thousand people wit
nessed the flag raising and enjoyed
the speaking, music and supper at
Strqng Tuesday afternoon. A pa
rade about ten blocks long, headed
by the El Dorado cornet band,
marched from the depot to the
square where Mrs. W. E. Clark,
president of the Civic League, pre
sented a large flag made by eighty
seven ladies of the town. Aider
man Pat Crain accepted for Mayor
W. S. Wood who was out of town.
The flag was raised on the sixty
foot pole erected for that purpose,
by Squire J. C. Wallace and M. B.
Phillips, two Confederate veterans.
Speeches were then delivered by
Judge Neill C. Marsh of El Dorado,
Mayor Tom Blodgett of Rison, C.
C. Clark of Shreveport, Mrs. J. R.
Wilson of Warren and Dr. Bickley.
A bounteous basket supper was
served by the ladies free to all in
the park at 6:30 o'clock which was
followed by a band concert and the
festivities of the day were brought
to a successful close by a dance.
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 P. 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.
