Woodruff Co. Rice
Mr. W. P. Dawson, a leading
rice grower of Hunter states
that he harvested a good crop
this year from 267 acres. Not
withstanding the early frost he
harvested from 105 acres 80
bushels per acre and has 14,000
bushels stored at Hunter which
is worth $2.00 a bushel. The
frost caused a 25 per cent loss to
the growers, but with the ex
cellent Blue Rose variety and
the high price the loss from this
source is very materially offset.
Guaranteed Flour
Ask your merchant for Cremo,
White Rose or Dully’s Patent
flour and don’t let him make you
believe he has something just as
good. This flour is made from
best Missouri, soft, winter
wheat and is guaranteed to give
perfect satisfaction. Use one
sack and if not satisfied, bring the
empty sack back and your mer
chant will gladly refund your
money.

San Jose Scale Will
Kill Your Orchard
Many of the farmers over the
country are setting out young
orchards. The setting out of
the orchards is not by any means
all there is to getting good fruit.
San Jose Scale is one of the
worst pests of orchards; hundred
of acres of orchards are being
killed in Arkansas every year by
this pest. If the scale is in yonr
orchard it is sure kill to the rees
unless properly sprayed. If you
are not sure about your orchard
ask your county agent.
Riggs Brothers have sold sev
eral new Ford cars the past week
among which was a sedan.
Attorney W. A. Henderson of
this city has been appointed
deputy prosecuting attorney of
Woodruff County by Atty. P. R.
Andrews of Helena.
Miss Fannie Hamilton left

126 Vaccinations
On Tuesday of this week Dr.
R. N. Smith County Health
Officer and Dr. Don M. Griswold
Director of the Woodruff County
Rural Sanitary Campaign vacci
nated 126 school children at
Gregory.
The state wide vaccination law
has met with little opposition
in Woodruff County.
The splendid co-operation be
tween the school and health
authorities will be a big factor
in placing this countv in the
front rank in public health.
If you are not an 1918 model
husband, read H. D. Swayze’s
ad this week and learn how to
become one. Be a “self-starter.''
Mr. T. J. Fakes was in Little
Rock the first of the week where
he went to see about joining the
third officers training camp. He
was informed that he was too
late for the reason that he did
not have time to have his ap
plication blanks sent to Staunton
Military Academy, the school
which he attended, for its en
dorsement and returned before
the last day for joining.
Arkansas Lost 154,000
Hogs in 12 Months
Arkansas has lost 154,000 head
of hogs in the past twelve months
and the world’s supply is 35%
short. The situation is serious
and something must be done.
We must raise more hogs and
brood sows. Only registered
boars should be used in order to
produce larger animals and better
feeders. Economic feeding
should be practiced by using
more forage crops and a self
feeder. Protection should be
given against cholera; ninty per
cent of all the hogs lost in Ark
ansas die of cholera. The serum
and virus treatment will insure
you against losses. The serum
can be secured at cost from the
State Serum Plant at Little Rock
and you should call on your
County Agent to teach you how
to administer it. When you call
for your County Agent arrange
to have as many of your neighbors
have their hogs vaccinated at
the same time and all order the
serum together. This will not
only save expense but will make
it possible for the agent to do
your work on time. The agent
is very busy and should cholera
break out in your neighborhood
it would be impossible to reach
your herd in time. The first
come the first served.
