MUCH INSURANCE IN
FORCE IN ARKANSAS
Popularity of Life Insurance
Shown by Large Amounts
Carried by ArkansasCitizens
It is interesting to note that
the sixty two fraternal insur
ance orders operating in the
state, as listed in the annual
report of the State Insurance
(Commissioner, have only about
a million and a half dollarsless
of insurance in force in the
state than the fifty-five old
line, legal reserve companies.
It is an eloquent proof of the
popularity of life insurance in
Arkansas.
There was on Dec. 31, 1915,
an aggregate of $132,1 10,389.
38 insurance in force in the
fraternals, as compared with a
total of $133,727,704.26 in the
old line companies.
During the year 1915, the
fraternals paid to the benefi
ciaries in the state a total of
$1,348,099.87, whereas the old
line companies paid losses
amounting to $1,778,590.32.
At the end of last year there
was grand total of 197,016
members of all fraternal insur
ance orders in the state, re
presenting a gain of 61,545 re
ported by the 56 organizations
doing business in the state in
1912, or nearly fifty per cent.
The amount of premiums
paid by policy holders in the
old-line companies in It) 15 was
$4,4276,234.86.
The Woodmen of the World
lead all insurance organiza
tions of whatever character in
the amount of business carried,
with 41,803 members, and in
surance amounting to $54,619,
900. The fourth place is held,
among the fraternals, by the
.indent Order of United Work
men, with 5,216 members in
July, 1916, and a total of $7,
439,000 in force in the state.

STATE WILL HAVE
$200,000 IN TREASURY
Lithe Rock, Aug. 8.—The
Mute Ire usury is beginning to
see day-light. For the first
time in several years every
warrant presented at the win
flow is being paid in cash. It
is believed that practically all
of the two hundred thousand
dollars still outstanding in war
rants is held by the sheriffs
who have not yet settled with
the state for the taxes of 1915.
Nearly fifty countieshavemade
final settlement, but the three
big counties, Jefferson, Pulaski
and Sebastain, are still out,and
those three alone will probab
ly be sufficient to wipe the
slate clean again. It is estimat- |
ed by State Treasurer McDan
iel that there will probably be
balance of $200,000 or more
after all settlements are made
and all warrants are paid, so
that the state will be able to
run on Easy Street for a time.

PLOW SOMETHING l NPEK
The Scotch farmers a hun
dred rears ago had learned the
gospel of building up their soil
l,v use of barnyard manure
and by plowing under some
green crop. The Arkansas tar
mers must learn this lesson.
There are hundreds of thou
sands of acres of upland and
hill land that must have more
humus or they will soon tail to
return enough crop to pay tor
the labor of cultivating. Grow
clover for green manuring as
it is called, or wheat, rye 01
oats. In November and Decem
ber cotton t armors and corn
farmers should take their discs
and cut up the stalks and plow
under all their land not seeded
to crimson clover or other cov
er crops.
INOCULATION FOR
(LOVERS
For clovers to be grown suc
cessfully, the soil must contain
the bacteria which produces
nodules on the roots and gath
er nitrogen from the air. It the
soil does not already contain
these organisms, they must be
supplied at or before the time
of seeding. Many legumes will
grow normally in a fertile soil
without root nodules. In this
case, however, the plant will
be less rich in nitrogen. The
natural way to secure inocula-'
tion is by scattering soil from a'
field where the same legume
has previously been grown and
has produced nodules. This is
usually done by securing soil
from the surface of such a
field, taking it directly to the
field that is ready for prepara
tion. scattering the soil at the
rate of about 300 pounds to
the acre and immediately
working it in with the disk or
other harrow. Soils used for
inoculation purposes must not
be exposed to the sunlight and
should not be permitted to be
come thoroughly dry. Where
soil for inoculation is not avail
able, it is necessary to resort to
artificial inoculation. This ma
terial is very easy to use and
sufficient for two bushels of
seed ot any one of the legumes
may be secured free of charge
from the lT. S. Department of
Agriculture by making appli
cation through your county
agent or through the Extension
Division, Old State House, Lit
tle hock, Arkansas. Many com
mercial cultures of inoculating
material are available if larg
er quantities than this are
wanted. Artificial inoculation
is by no means as certain as
the natural inoculation. A con
veniont way of inoculatingseed;
is to take 10 cent* worth of |
glue and dissolve it in two gal
lons of warm water. Place the
seed in a tight wagon box. or
on a smooth floor, and sprinkle
this glue water over it. keep
ing the seed thoroughly stir
red so that all the surface of
even- seed will lie dampened
with the glue water. While the
seed is wet sprinkle over it the
soil taken from a field where
the same crop has given a good
yield. Each ten pounds of seed
requires five pounds of soil.
The seed should be sown im
mediately after being inocula
jted, either on a cloudy day or
(after sundown, and covered.

MORK OATS FOR ARK
ANSAS
This last year was a bad one
for oats and some farmers
seem just a trifle discouraged
| about the oat crop for this
'state. It is not wise to drop a
'crop because of one failure but
j rather to learn from t he failure.
It is the opinion of the county
j agents of the fifty-two coun
ties that have agents, that oats
| must be considered a good
crop for Arkansas. In the first
place the farmer can have a
good market for the grain right
in his own stable. Straw is ra
ted as having a value of about
$2.50 simply as a fertilizer
plowed under. When used as I
bedding for stock to absorb
the liquid excrement and as a
means of saving the solid ex*
erement it can easily have a
value of $1 a ton. Then after
oats plant eowpeas and it is
easy to find a good ret urn from
the field for the year. After
peas the field may be seeded
again to wheat or rye or oats
for a winter pasture and cover
t i op. Oats should be consider
ed a profitable regular crop for
most Arkansas.
