TRACTOR

Do More
in a Day
Do It Better
One man with a FORDSON
TRACTOR can do more
work easier and with less
expense than two men can
do with horses. This means
that you with a FORDSON
TRACTOR can actually
raise more crops, with less
work and less expense. And
this means that your profits
will be greater with fewer
hours of work.
Besides the FORDSON will take
care of every power job on the
farm. It is light, alert, flexible in
control and operation, yet it has
power and endurance to spare.
You should see the FORDSON
at work to appreciate its wonder
ful capabilities. We will gladly
give you the proofs if you will
ask for them, either by a personal
call, phone or post card.

MAKE 1921 A HAY YEAR
The freight on hay from
the West is double the cost of
the hay at shipping points.
With these conditions- the
Arkansas cotton growers can
not afford to buy hay ne t
year and take the money to
pay for it out of the probable
low price they will get for
their coton. A sufficient acre
age should be put in hay crops
this month to insure a full sup
ply should the season be such
that there will be only half a
yield.
Most cotton growers plan to
get their hay from cow peas.
In many seasons, half to
three-fourths of the feed val
ue of the cowpea is lost be
cause there is rainy weather
at curing time. It is never
safe to depend on cowpeas for
the hay supply unless two or
three times the acreage is
planted that under fair con
ditions will produce all the
hay needed on the farm or
plantation.
une-naii biisnel ot cow
peas and three-fourths bushel
early sorghum an acre make a
good combination for a good
yield of hay.
Sudan grass is becoming
more popular every year in
Arkansas as a hay crop. Sow
20 pounds an acre broadcast.
The seed is unusually cheap
this year. Sow cream col
ored seed. The dark seed in
dicates a cross with sorghum
and gives a much coarser hay
with much waste in feeding.
Many farmers like sorghum
hay and others will not have
it on the farm.
The best hay that can be
produced in Arkansas is that
made from Spanish peanuts,
the tops and nuts cured to
gether. Plant in rows 30 to
36 inches apart, drop
ping whole, unshelled nuts,
one nut every six inches in the
row. It requires two bushels
seed an acre. Dampen the
nuts thoroughly before plant
ing, putting just enough kero
sene in the water to give the
nots a strong odor of coal oil.
This will prevent pests from
eating the seed. H, M. COT
