Commissioner Page’s Weekly Letter.
The vetches are important win
ter growing leguminous crops, that
have not had much attention in
Arkansas and the South. They
should be included in the list of fall
sown crops. Especially do they
make a fine combination with oats
or rye. They benefit the land, af
ford pasture or hay, if saved, and
cut down the feed bill in either
case In my opinion, the greatest
value of any of the fall sown crops
is in the permanent improvement
of the soil. The vetches add ni
trogen to the soil and furnish a
great amount of humus for the next
staple crop. It not only furnishes
something to turn under in the
spring, but protects the land during
the winter and affords an excellent
winter pasture.
The common vetch and hairy
vetch are the most popular of the
many varieties of vetch. Both are
weak stemmed plants, both im
prove the soil, may be sown in the
fall, both are best sown with oats
or rye to hold them up, both make
good pasture, hay or green manure
as desired and both require inocu
lation for the best success, and in
fact, either the seed or the soil
should be inoculated on the first
trial of them.
In my judgement, hairy vetch is
th=* best of the two for Arkansas.
It does not require as fertile soil
as common vetch and in fact will
do well on ordinary soil. Where
red or crimson clover have been
tried unsuccessfully, hairy vetch
has been found to be a fine substi
tute and is an excellent soil builder.
The seed are higher than the seed
for common vetch but are prefera
^ble. ^ Jdairji jialab will .also^tand
ne ther will stand our hot weather.
The best way to inoculate is to
scatter about 400 pounds of sod
per acre from an old vetch field
oyer the p'ot for hairy or common
vetch and narrow it in. The sod
should be handled on some cloudy
day. If the sod is not available it
is advisable to buy the pure inocu
lation culture with which to inocu
late the seed before planting. The
culture may be had from the U. S.
Department of Agriculture at
Washington, or can be bought from
The Earp-Thomas Farmogerm Co.,
Bloomfield, N. J., or from the
Homewood Nitrogen Co., 51 Lib
erty St., New York, N. Y. We
have numerous failures with vetch,
alfalfa, cow peas, clovers and like
crops because we fail to inoculate.
It is necessary and we should not
neglect a necessary step whefi we
begin the culture of a new crop.
We get reports daily of suc
cess with these crops in all parts
of the state and some from men
who have failed in the same locali
ties. Most all the failures are due
to indifferent preparation, failure to
inoculate or the lack of doing some
other important thing for the par
ticular crop. Inoculation is neces
sary where the seed are sown on a
piece of land new to the crop.
Write for a bulletion on vetchns.

Commissioner of Agriculture.

Arkansas School for the Blind.
This institution, for the educa
tion and training of the blind chil
dren of the state or those whose
eyesight is so defective that they
cannot attend an ordinary school,
offers, without cost to parents,
board, laundry, medical attention,
treatment and medicine for the
eyes, and the care and watchful at
tention of a trained, kind-hearted
and capable body of officers and
teachers. Many young men and
women, the totally blind, have been
so trained and educated that many
of the joys of life have been opened
to them and they have also become
acting and self supporting members
of society. Instruction is furnished
not only in the ordinary school
studies but also in various trades,
in music, typewriting and domestic
science. The work accomplished
by some of the present and former
pupils is little short or wonderful.

When anyone gets established in a certain habit '.hey
find it vety hard to break away fiom that habit, and we say
they are in a rut.
Let us not forget, however, that there are different
kinds of ruts that one may get into, and some of these are
vety good ruts indeed to get into.
Some men get into the rut of spending thoughtlessly
everything they earn, live hard all their lives, and old age
and sickness to them is a real calamity. Other men, who
perhaps earn no more than these, get into the habit of sav
ing a part of everything they earn, which is a very good rut
to get into. They think of their own and their family's fu
ture and provide for it by saving while they have earning
power.
Which rut are you in? Get into the habit of saving,
and after the habit is formed it will be an easy matter to
lay up something for the future.
We will help you save.
