MONEY MAKING CROPS,
Commissioner of Agriculture Page (numerates
a Number Adopted to Arkansas.
I have advised the farmers to
reduce the acreage of cotton, or to
abandon it altogether, i have been
sincerely confident that this was
good advice, and I still think so:
but the farmers can not be expect
ed to abandon the chief crop of
their section without a satisfactory
substitute. For this rearon 1 want
to mention a few.
I have frequently urged stock
raising. This necessitiates other
crops than cotton. However, the
farmers do not all know how to
arrive at a correct calculation of
the difference; and if they did, the
difference would always be the
same, due to difference in local
conditions. Waiving for the time
being the stock question. I will dis
cuss some other profitable crops!
in this Stafe besides cotton.
Hay is one of our most profitable
crops, and certaihly ought to be an
inviting departure to a cotton i
farmer, for they have to fight grass I
of all kinds from April to October'
• to make a cotton crop. Arkansas
will produce more hay to the acre 1
than Kansas or Iowa. That is
enough said. Hay brings more'
money here than there. Try a
hay crop. There is not much
labor or expense in making a hay j
crop.
Potatoes grow well and profit-!
ably in Arkansas. Both kinds do.
They are money makers. Try
them. Broom corn is another good
crop *for Arkansas. A farmer
friend told m'e he had twenty acres
in this year and made twenty tons.
.worth about $200.00 per ton.
bad. Peanuts wilf,
every time in Arkansas. The pea
nut as a crop will outstrip cotton
anywhere south of the Arkansas
river, except in the bottom on
buckshot soil. Study up on the
peanut. It will pav you.
Sunflowers make a good crop.
They w.ll yield as .high as two
thousand pounds of seed to the
acre, and the seed will bring from
five to eight cents a pound. Not
a bad crop at all. Burr.clover is a
good cover crop in Arkansas. It
makes a fine win er pasture, aid
will yield more than fifty bushels of
seed to thra acre, and the seed are
worth $ 1.50 a bushel. That beats
cotton a long ways.
Popcorn will grow well in Ark
ansas. There is always a good
market ror it, and it beats cotton.
Cow peas, properly planted and
cultivated will make more money
for the farmer than a cotton crop
and at less expense. Then there
is the Yokohoma bean, said to
make a yield of from 150 to 300
bushels to the acre, and to hav^
three times the feeding value of
corn. The soy bean is a money
maker. It pays to munkev with
any and all kinds of peas and beans
on the farm. They all build up the
Soil, and are profitable crops too.
Last of all try some alfalfa. Do
not waste time asking if you can
grow it. It will grow in every
county in Arkansas, and most
every farm. Your soil may rued
some lime, but don’t" be discourag
ed on that account. Try it. Get
ready now. Sow some in the
Sp-ing if you can. By all means
get ready for it nex, fall. I have
tjn thousand alfalfa books that will
tell you all about it. Drop me a
card if you want one. I will send
it to yo

Creosote as a Preservative of Telegraph
Poles.
It is estimated by the Canadian
authorities that every year some
600,000 telegraph and telephone
poles have to be replaced because
of their decay. Untreated red
cedar poles last for 10 years; if the
creosote is put on by the brush,
they last 13 years; if they are tank
dippe ' they last»20 years. White
cedar has a life respectively of 1 4,
17 and 22 years according to tne
treatment, and yellow pine, 1 3. 16
and 20 years. It is estimated that
creosote treatment would save up
ward of 260.000 poles per year.

Ihr Men Still llvrs
The old'hen still lives! Drouths
cannot dry her up nor floods drown
her. The caLmi iesof others prove
t lessings to ht r. The farmers' pests,
gra1 s loppers and bugs she turns
into a product that pa> s his grocery
bills. A product that is the quin
tessence of e'e caoies, as well as
oie of the main staples in the tus
tenance of man.
She is the farmer's savings bank,
picking up a lost grain here, and
saving a waste bit there, and while
adding continually to the principal,
pays interest every day in th shape
of a fresh golden egg.
No banquet table is csmpleie
without her presence thereon,
while her products dis a n not to
adern tie re k st t ble of ihe
humble workingman.
She is queen of a billion dollar
industry, and if she indulges in the
feminine perogative of cackling I
over herachievement let her cackle, i
Her achievement is worth the
cackle. Singly an egg is a small!
commod.ty, but collectively richer!
than the mines of Ophir.
All hail! The hen; The helpful hen:
Both rich and poor: All hail! Amen.
