OF SNOW TO STATE
Farmers of Arkansas Greatly
Benefitted by the Recent
Heavy Snowfall
The 26inches of snow that
fell over Arkansas during the
months of December and Jan
uary, was worth $40,000,000
to the farmers of Arkansas
%
as a fertilizer to say nothing
of the benefit the snow has
been in putting moisture into
the ground, and improving the
physical condition of the soil,
is the opinion of John H. Page,
commission of agriculture.
This is not a surmise but a
scientifically proven fact, care
fully worked out in the chem
ical laboratory at the State
capitol, according to Mr. Page.
During the recent heavy snow
fall in Little Rock a quantity
of the clean flakes was caught
and an analysis made to de
termine the content of nitrogen
the most important element in
the production of plant food.
Dr. William F. Manglesdorf,
the State Chemist, reported to
Commissioner Page the result
of this analysis and, with fig
ures as to the amount of snow
fall, furnished by H- S. Cole,
Little Rock director of the
United States Weather Bureau,
Mr. Page computed the weight
of snow per acre and the com
mercial value of the nitrogen
present.

A Great Discovery
(BY J. U. WATSON, M. D.)
Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to
a dropsical condition, often caused by
disordered kidneys. Naturally when the
kidneys are deranged the blood Is filled
with poisonous waste matter, which set
tles in the feet, ankles and wrists; or
under the eyes in bag-like formations.
As a memedy for those easily recog
nized symptoms of inflammation caused
by uric acid—as scalding urine, back
ache and frequent urination, as well as
sediment in the urine, or if uric acid in
the blood has caused rheumatism, lum
bago, sciatica, gout, it is simply wonder
ful how quickly Anui-tc acts; the pains
and stiffness rapidly cisappear.

there was one-tenth of a pound
of nitrogen. Twenty six inches
of snow reduced to water has
a total weight of 283 tons per
acre, containing 28 3-10 pounds
of nitrogen. The present mar
ket value of nitra soda is 25
cents a pound. Using this as
a basis it is found that the ni
trogen value in the snow covT
ering one acre of ground is
$7.07. The amount of nitro
gen that will escape by drain
age and evaporation is vari
able, but it is conservative to
estimate that an acre of soil
will retain $5 worth of this
fertilizing material. There are
8,000,000 acres of cultivated
lands in Arkansas, thus bene
fited, not including pasture
and meadow land.
The snowfall at Little Rock
was about the average for the
State—16 inches in December
and 20 inches in January, ac
cording to the weather bureau
records. In the southern coun
ties, the fall was lighter, but
in the Northern counties it was
heavier. This is equal to
nearly three inches of rainfall
and as the snows have remain
ed on the ground for a total
duration of four weeks a great
deal of moisture has been con
served for the coming crops.

MILLING COMPANY
HAS BIG BUSINESS
The Arkadelphia Milling Com
pany Ships Products Near
ly All Over World
Arkadelphia, Jan- 26.—The
past year has been the great
est year in the history of the
Arkadelphia Milling Co., ac
cording to W. N. Adams, man
ager, the total business was
$5,124,000. The products of
the mill were shipped to 24
states and several foreign coun
tries, including iCanada, Mexi
co, Cuba, South America, Eng
land,Belgium,France and Italy.
“In dollars and cents,” said
Mr. Adams, “we believe we
did more business in Arkan
sas the past year than any oth
er manufacturing enterprise in
the state. Our freight tolls
during 1917 were practically a
quarter of a million dollars
and we were informed by the
Missouri Pacific railroad com
pany that it was the greatest
amount paid by any one insti
tution located at competitive
points.”
rxoveinuer ana uetemuer
were our greatest months and
we transacted over $1,000,000
worth of business during that
period, a greater business than
we had in the first four years
of our organization. We
bought during 1917 more than
one million dollars worth of
Arkansas grain.’'
More than 500 men are em
ployed by the company and
the wages paid last year
amounted to about one-half
million dollars in salaries and
dividends.
The milling company has
just let the contract for ma
chinery and additional build
ing for the doubling of the out
put of corn meal. This action
was taken because of the fact
that the Arkadelphia plant is
a member of the Corn Millers’
Committee of the Food Ad
ministration and for the reas
on that there are not enough
corn mills in the United States
to supply the amount of corn
goods necessary to substitute
for wheat products in order to
make the wheat crop hold out
COLD IN STONE COUNTY
Dear Editor:—If you will al
low me space, I will write
some news from Stone county.
It was 23 below Zero here
on the 10th of January and we
had 10 inches of snow. On
the 14th the second snow fell
and it was six inches deep. On
the 19th, the third snow, which
was six inches deep fell on
top of the other two. On the
21st we had the fourth snow
which was five inches deep.
Also on the 8th of December
we had a snow that was 11
inches deep.
The bad weather caught
nearly everybody out of wood,
and snce it set in everybody
has been busy getting wood
and making fires and grumb
ling about the bad weather.
It stopped our school for a
week and would have stopped
it longer but we took a mule
and a log and dragged a path
to the school house.
We have a four month’s
school and it 'will be out next
Friday. We have a good
school.
This has been the worst
winter in many years. It has
been hard on the rabbits, as
most of the people have been
been catching rabbits all the
time they have not been cut
ting wood.
I had better ring off this
time, and if this don’t hit the
waste basket I will come again.
