PLAN FOR FALL SEED OATS.
It is imperative that the Arkan
sas land owner plan on an in
creased acreage of small grains.
Every one should plant more oats,
since they are adapted to a wide
range of soils, and if planted early
enough and on a well prepared
seed bed the danger from the win
ter killing, even in the northern
part of the state, is reduced to a
minimum. The safest date of
seeding will vary from September
25 in Northwest Arkansas to about
November 10 in the southermost
section. The seed should be plant
ed with a grain drill since plants
seeded in the furrow are better
protected from winter killing than
if seeded broadcast on the surface.
The compact seed bed is verv im
portant, and winter oats planted on
well drained humus filled soils
come through severe seasons bet
ter than oats on soils in poor phys
ical condition. Winter Turf and
Culberson varieties of oats are
most resistant to winter killing.
Red Rust Proof and its different
yarities, Appier, Cook, Van Croft,
Ferguson 71 and Falghrum, are
probably most dependable for grain
production in the central and
southern sections of the state.
ORCHARD AND GARDEN SUGGESTIONS.
The greater part of the Arkansas
peach crop has gone to market and
most of them have brought at least
a fair price. Many of the orchards
have dead or dying trees in them;
also quite a few broken branches
occur here and there. All of these
should be taken out of the orchard
and burned, since, if left in the
field, they will serve as breeding
places for disease and insects.
The season is now very favorable
for the planting of a fall garden.
See that the grasses and weeds
are removed from the garden, also
all of the decaying vegetables.
Plant beans, sweet corn, cucum
bers, squashes, beets and cabbage,
and keep these well cultivated
through the season. Remember
that the time for planting these
things is getting short so the work
should be done at once.
Do not forget to save your own
supply of garden seeds this year.
Beans, tomatoes and cantaloupe
seed may be saved now.
Have you canned all of the veg
etables you will need for winter?
If not, your time is running short
and remember that the price is go
ing to be higher this winter for
canned goods than ever
before. If you do not can a supply,
you may be forced to live without
them.
LIME KEEPS WEEVILS FROM SEED.
Many farmers have long used
the carbon bisulphide method of
keeping weevils from seed subject
to attack from these pests. How
ever, Prof. Geo. G. Becker, of the
University of Arkansas, says that
the lime method is as good and
much more easily used. He rec
ommend one part by weight of air
slacked lime to two parts by weight
of the grain or seed. The seed
must be kept in the lime from the
time it is stored until ready to
plant.
EDITORS BOOST AGRICULTURE.
During the past year the editors
of Arkansas have undoubtedly
printed more agricultural news
than the newspaper men in any
of the Southern states, according
to B. C. Riley, editor of publica
tions with the Extension Division
of the University of Arkansas, who
says that the county seat papers
published a total of three and one
half miles of agriculture informa
1 tion from July 1, 1916, to July 1.
1917. The cooperation of the ed
itors, business men and farmers is
advertising Arkansas and attract
ing attention throughout the
United States. Men in other
states are constantly making in
quiry concerning Arkansas’ secret
of progress, which is expressed by
two words—“Organization" and
“Cooperation.”
Young People Wed.
At the home of the bride's par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Woolley,
three miles west of town, on Sun
day afternoon, August 5, 1917, at
3:30 o'clock Rev. A. Turrentine, of
the Methodist church, in the pres
ence of a number friends and rela
tives performed the ceremony
which united in marriage Miss
Nora Woolley and Mr. Fred Gon
ner, of Bolding.
Both young people were born
and reared in this part of Union
county and have a host of friends
who will join with the News in
wishing them happiness and pros
perity.

Still Recruiting Regular Army.
It is probable that the full
war strength of 300,000 for the
regular army will be reached this
week. But Capt. N. M. Gartmell,
in charge of recruiting in Arkansas,
has received no orders to discon
tinue, nor are any such orders ex
pected. On the contrary, recruit
ing for the regular army is to be
pushed as strong as ever, for there
will be a constant need for more
men to keep the various units up to
their maximum strength. For
some time, the average number of
recruits throughout the country
has been about 2000 daily, aside
from the great number enlisting in
the navy, the national guard and
the numerous other branches of
the service. Capt. Cartmell has
been averaging fifteen or twenty a
day in the Little Rock district,
which includes the whole state.
During the last few weeks many of
the recruits have been men of se
lective draft age, who realized that
they had no exemption and who
preferred to volunteer rather than
be drafted. All men of draft age
eligible to volunteer until ther are
called by their local boards for ex
amination.
For County Superintendency.
Although official returns showing
action of various counties in the
school elections May 19 on county
superintendency have been hard to
obtain, information procured by
the State Department of Educa
tion indicates that 12 counties
were added to the list adopting
county superintendency, and we
regret to report that Union county
is not one of them.
In six other counties it is be
lieved that county superintendency
carried.
The 12 counties which,according
to information at the department
voted in favor of superintendency,
are: Boone, Lafayette, Craighead,
Cross, Desha, Franklin, Izard, Per
ry. Phillips, Searcy, St. Francis and
Woodruff. The six counties in
which the result of the election has
not been ascertained are: Clay,
Conway, Greene, Logan, Nevada
and Yell.
New Time Card in Effect.
A new time card went into effect
last Sunday morning on the Mis
souri Pacific railway which makes
a considerable change in the trains
through Huttig.
The Farmerville-Mcnroe train
will leave Farmerville at 6:15 a.
m., arriving here at 7:32 a. m., and
connecting at Felsenthal with the
Monroe-Womble train at. 7:40 a.
m. This train will be back through
here for Monroe at 7:58 a. m., ar
riving at Monroe at 9:50 a. m.
In the afternoon the Monroe
Farmerville train will leave Mon
roe at 12:55 p. m., arriving here at
2:47 p. m., and connecting at Fel
senthal with the Womble-Monroe
train at 2:55 p. m. This train will
be back throught here for Farmer
ville at 3:09 p. m.. arriving at
Farmerville at 4:20 p. m.
This change will necessitate the
changing of cars at Felsenthal as
the main line trains from Monroe
to Womble do not back in here as
they did. _

American Efficiency.
Germany efficiency has been
held up as a degree of excellence
unobtainable by a democracy.
The accomplishments of the United
States since April 5 last refute the
truth of the claim. In the short
space of time since that date the
United States has accomplished
the following:
Declared a state of war as exist
ing between this country and Ger
many;
Seized 91 German ships and be
gan repair work on them;
Authorized unanimously a war
fund of $7,000,090,000;
Appropriated $600,000,000 for
merchant shipping and as much for
air fleets;
Agreed to loan our allies $3,
000,000.000 and advanced them
a large proportion of that sum
Passed a selective draft law and
in a single day registered nearly
ten million men for military service;
Enlisted 600,000 volunteer sol
diers in the regular army and in
the National guard of the states;
Sent a commission to Russia to
aid in the democracy there and a
body of railroad men to Russia and
another to France to advise and
assist in railroad transportation in
those countries;
Begun the construction of 32
camps for our soldiers:
Sent to England a fleet of de
stroyers and to France a detach
ment of troops;
Authorized and now enforcing
embargo whereby our enimies will
receive no more food or material
from us;
Passed a food conservation law;
Organized many voluntary com
missions and boards who are aiding
the government and the people in
the speeding up of work, conserva
tion of food, and other national
movements;
Drafted by lot 687,000 men for
military service;
While the government was ac
complishing these things the Amer
ican people have loaned the United
Stated $2,000,000,000 and offered
$1,000,000,000 more, over four
million citizens subscribing to the
loan.
In addition they have given over
$100,000,000 to the American
Red Gross and $300,000,000 to
Young Men’s Christian association.
All these things were accom
plished while our soil was not in
vaded or even threatened with in
vasion and without any disturbance
of business conditions. All was
done with the calm determination
and judgment of an earnest, pa
triotic people performing a service
for civilization and mankind and
maintaining the rights, the dignity
and the honor of the greatest na
tion in the world.
The German leaders derided
America’s entry into the war as a
bluff. This is our answer;
The German government was
nearly fifty years in perfecting its
military efficiency. In less than
four months the American repub
lic has made such strides as to in
dicate that in less than two years'
time the boasted superiority of
German efficiency will have been
discredited. There is such a thing
as American efficieicy, and time
will prove that German efficiency
can not withstand it. fighting as it
is for liberty, justice and humanity.

PROCRASTINATION
Is not only the thief of time but is the thief of good oppor
tuniiies as well.
The man who puts off starting to save will never
have the foundation for success. The man who spends all
he earns may have a "good time” as he goes along, but he
cannot take advantage of the good business chances that
come to him and old age will find him a miserable failure.
The man who makes good is the man who does not
put off until some future time to save, but now while he is
earning saves some part of everything he earns. He does
not spend his money thoughtlessly to have a good time, but
finds enjoyment and encouragement in knowing that he has
something laid up with which to take advantage of future
business chances and for old age which is sure to come.
Do not wait until next week or next month to start
to save, but start now by opening an account at
