Progress in Arkansas has been
fairly steady and reached its great
est momentum this year when the
legislature passed three bills en
abling effective eradication woi'k
These measures were a state-wide
tick eradication law. a bill appro
pi iating $50,000 for tick eradica
tion work and an act to permit the
counties to appropriate money for
tick eradication. Up to a few
w'eks ago the last named measure
hid resulted in the appropriation of
$60,000 by counties for next
year's work.
In 1916 the entire state, 75
c untLs, with an area of 52.525
square miles, was infested and
qu *.rantined. On December 1 of
t :. year 42 counties and 6 parts
o' counties wT1 have been released,
leaving 27 counties and 6 parts cf
c unties stid infested. On Decem
b -r 1 the area in the state released
w II bo 31,573 square miles, or 60
per cent, leaving 20.952 square
miles still under quarantine.

SfOt«s Li The Past Yoar.
Arkansas has lost 154.000 head
of hogs from disease in the past
twelve months and the world's sup
ply of pork is 55 per cent short.
The situation is serious and some
thing must be done. We must
raise more hogs and protect those
we have from disease. Every
farmer should have more brood
(sows. Only registered boars should
j be used in order to produce larger
animals and better breeders.
! Economic feeding should be prac
ticed by using more forage crops
: and a self feeder. Protection
(should be given hogs against chole
ra: 90 per cent of all the hogs lost
in Arkansas die of cholera. The
serum and virus treatment will in
sure you against these losses. The
serum can be secured at cost from
the State Serum Plant at Little1
Rock.

Brsin the Land—-It Pays.
Maximum production can be se 1
cured'on our rich farm lands only j
by proper draining. Farm drainage
is one of th,e best investments on
the farm because it gives back
dollars and cents in increased
yields. Well drained lands warm
up mere quickly in the spring. It
can worked and planted earlier and
can be worked quickly after rain.
They do not drown out in case of
wet weather and-do not suffer so
much in dry weather. Drainage
improves the soil by taking the
water out and letting air in.
Crops on well drained land grow off
more quickly in the spring. It may
seem strange but it is true that
drainage makes soil wetter in dry
weather and drier in wet weather.
There are several systems of
drainage. If you desire informa
tion, write to O. G. Baxter. Drain

Hundreds of carloads of corn
| have left the state and in many in
stances men living in one county
are shipping corn when
their neighbors in another county
are really looking for grain. This
mistake could be avoided if all
: farmers of the state -mild get in
; touch with the marketing ag "t of
! the Extension Division, thus en
j abling him to jjut more men.
j whether buyers or sellers, in com
| munication with each other. Is it
l best to be in a hurry to "sell vour
corn? It happens each year that
thousands of bushels shipped cut
of the state in the fall aPnd early
winter must be brought back in the ;
I spring at a much higher price.
