WINTER COVER CROPS
Farmers should not forget
the value ol wheat, oats and
rye for cover crops. There are
four distinct values of these
cover crops: (1) Winter pas
ture; (2) Lessens washing of
soil; (3) the green plant uses
plant food that Is being liber
ated and when plowed under
said plant food is saved that
would otherwise be lost; (4)
the growth to be plowed under
in April will add to the humus
supply, thus adding to the fer
tility of the soil and also add
ing to the moisture-holding ca-1
pacity.
GROW MORE HOGS
Arkansas should have twen
ty times as many hogs as are
now in the state. Why not a
start a campaign for one or
more pure bred sows on
every Arkansas farm? Bankers
are ready fo lend money to far-1
Now the Extension Division of
the University would like to
suggest th at bankers offer to
lend money for the purchase of
pure bred gilts. If in a county
forty farmers who now do not
own one pure bred hog could
be helped to buy pure bred
gilts in November, gilts bred to
farrow about the last of Febru
ary, it would start a movement
for more wealth among the
small farmers.
THE COUNTY WOMAN
AGENT
The most interesting and the
most interested worker in the
Extension Division of the Col
lege of Agriculture and United
States Department of Agricul
ture is the county woman agent.
Arkansas has thirty-one coun
ties that are wise enough to
employ women to organize
their girls into canning and
poultry clubs and to advise!

ty has two women agents and
they are all “worth their weight
in gold.” - State and govern
ment funds will be available by
January 1917 for cooperating
with ten additional counties.
Progressive women in counties
that now have county agricul
tural agents should organize
and submit request to their
Quorum Courts for a woman
agent.Persons interested should
write C. W. Watson, State
Agent, Old State House, Little
Rock, for details and require
ments.
DOUBLE THE FLOCK
Thousands of farmers should
plan to double the number of
chickens to be kept through the
winter. Provide shelter and a
little supplemntary feed and
study egg production and have
more eggs to eat and more to
sell. Write the Extension Divi
sion of the University of Ark
ansas, Old State House, Little
Hock, for bulletins or see the
county agent.
SELECE COTTON SEED
Of all agricultural crops cot
ton seems subject to the great
est deterioration ihrough lacK
of attention to seed selection.
This same tendency to vary,
howver, makes it most suscep
tible to a little good treatment.
The returns from cotton in Ar
kansas could be increased by
at least $8 to $ip per acre
through two or three years
careful selection o' cottonseed.
Right now is the best time to
make the selection. Choose the
best bolls from the best plants
in the field, gather enough to
gin a bale and save those seed
from mixture with any others
and use for planting the crop
the coming year. The oppor
tunity to get good planting
seed for next year will soon
slip by. Don’t miss the oppor
tunity.
SEED CORN DAY
Let every progressive farmer
and every corn club boy rem
ember that C. W. Watson,State
Demonstration Agent, and W.
J. Jernigan, State Boys’ and
Girls’ Club Agent, have named
September 27 as “Seed Corn
Day” and let every farmer and
every boy select seed on that
day.

WIDE ROADS ARE IMPORTANT
Time That Highway Builders Awakr
ened to New Conditions—Involves
Safety and Convenience.
The road builders of today are neg
lecting a very important point.
The motor car is a new thing in the"
world and creates entirely new con
ditions.
The travel of the future will be
very great.
The fashion should be set at once
for a 100-foot right of way on all main
roads.
One half should be developed first;
tlw other could be used by the former
owners under a free lease from the
counties until it is needed. It will
surely be needed some day.
Allowing ten feet for a sidewalk the
first hard-surfaced road should center
r
Making a Road in South.
on the remaining 40 feet. The model
to be worked to is two 40-foot road
ways, two ten-foot sidewalks and three
rows of shade trees—a most proper
plan for a hot climate.
All travel of course takes the right
hand road. The grade should allow
crossing from one road to the other.
On a single road with a 50-foot right
of way, two ten-foot sidewalks and 30
feet for vehicles, when autos are
standing at each curb there is not
room for safe passing of vehicles go
ing in opposite directions and this
difficulty and danger increases with
the traffic.
A single-track road should be 60
feet wide.
The middle line of new roads Is gen
erally on a section line or other line
between two owners. If the fashion is
set for a 100-foot right of way owners
will give the 60 feet.
If county commissioners will insist
on the 100 feet and make it a state
wide rule supported by public opinion,
owners will fall Into line and give the
land.
The double-road plan allows speed
with safety and the speed of motor
cars will in the future be increased
on long runs.
The point Is that it Is the duty of
the pioneer road builders of today to
provide for the travel of the future.
Fifteen yoars ago in Chicago a
street a mile long between Grant and
Lincoln parks was widened from 60
to 200 feet. It cost $10,000,000.
If the people who laid out that street
could have looked ahead the expens*
would have been only the amount of
the surveyor's bill. In less degree
such things will happen some day in
Florida wherever narrow’ roads are
built.
California bee awakened to the idea
and has some main roads 100 feet
wide.
As soon as Florida gets hard roads
the travel by tourists and citizens by
motor car and motor truck will rapid
ly increase and will grow in time to
enormous proportions.
The climate and the motor car will
accomplish it and it is time that tha
road builders awakened to these en
tirely new conditions. Besides the
question of safety and convenience
there is the question of beauty, of
civic pride and the satisfaction of
building right for all time.
Road builders must realize that tha
motor car has brought entirely new
conditions.
They must lay out the roads wida
enough fer all time, while the land can
be got for nothing. It is a duty.
Kindness to Cow Pays.
Be kind to the dairy cow. You can’t
pound milk out of her with the milk
stool or run milk out of her with the
dog when bringing her from the pas
ture to the barn. Get on good terms
with the dairy cow, and her friend
ship will be seen by Increased profits
in the milk pail.
Surfacing Footpaths.
For surfacing footpaths, gravel, mix
tures of sand and clay, and cinders
will, in general, give good satisfac
tion.

TESTED AND PROVEN
There is a Heap of Solace in
Being Able to Depend Up
on a Well-Earned Re
putation
For months Newark readers
have seen the constant expres
sion of praise for Doan’s Kid
ney Pills, and read about the
good work they have done in
this locality. What other reme
dy ever produced such convinc
ing proof of merit?
John Edwards, Hoxie, Ark.,
says: “I had a dull, heavy ache
in my back and any exertion
or a cold made it worse. My
kidneys acted too frequently
and the kidney secretions pain
ed when passing. Then Doan’s
Kidney Pills were brought to
my notice, I got some and one
box made me feel much better.
After 1 had taken three boxes,
not a sign of kidney trouble
remained. The cure they gave
me has lasted.”
Price 50c, at all dealers.
Don’t simply ask for a kidney
remedy,i—get Doan’s Kidney
Pills—the same that Mr. Ed
wards had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
