FALL FLNV/INQ.
Fall plowing is almost always
good farming practice. The Ar
kansas College of Agriculture in
sists that the fall plowing this year
of thousands of acres of cotton
fields in Southern Arkansas will be
absolutely necessary to insure a
cotton crop next year. The weevil
has done great damage in the last
few weeks and the only safe thing
for the cotton farmer this year is
to plow under all cotton stalks and
leaves and then to clean up along
the fences, ditches, around stumps
and sheds and old buildings and
burn all trash that cannot be
plowed under. Fall plowing puts
the soil in good condition but even
if some fields or many fields will
demand another plowing next
spring it will be found profitable
If the big planter can t plow all his
cotton fields this fall he will do
well to plan for planting corn, po
tatoes, oats or other crops on th°
remaining acres. If there is not
united action from now to next
spring the boll weevil will hd Ar
kansas a harder blow than did the
v/ar in 1914. The Extension Di
vision and U. S. Department of
Agriculture are repeating the warn
ings of the entomologist Its coun
ty agents in the cotton counties
have been for weeks urging thor
ough fall plowing of cotton fields
just as fast as final picking is fin
ished. Let us "swat the weevil.”
WINTER COVER CROPS.
Farmers should not forget the
value of wheat. oats and rye for
cover crops. There are four dis
tinct values of these cover crops:
(1) Winter pastures; (2( Les
sens washing of soil; (3) The
green plant uses plant food that is
being liberated 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 fertility of the soil
and also adding to the moisture
holding capacity. The exten~:on
divisions of all southern states have
been urging a campaign for more
winter cover crops. The non
legumes where the clovers cannot
be seeded.
GROW MORE HOGS.
/ rkansas should have twenty
times as many hogs as are now in
the state. Why not a campa* n
for one or more pure bred sows on
every Arkansas farm? Bankers
are ready to lend money to farmers
for a year at 6 per cent for pur
chase of pure bred bulls. Now the
Extension Division and U. S. De
partment of Agriculture would like
to suggest that bankers offer to
lend money for the purchase of
pure bred gilts. If in a county for
ty 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 February, it would start a move
ment for mure wealth among the
small farmers.
DOUBLE THE FLOCK.
Thousands of farmers should
plan todoub'e the number of chick
ens to be kept through the winter.
Provide shelter and a little supple
mentary feed and study egg pro
duction and have more eggs to
eat and more to sell. Write the
Extension Division and U. S. De
partment of Agriculture, old state,
Little Rock, for bulletins or see the
county agent.
SELECT COTTON SEED.
Of all agricultural crops cotton
seems subject to the greatest de
terioration through lack of atten
tion to seed selection. This sanre
tendency to vary, however, makes
] it most susceptible to a little good
treatment. The returns from cot
ton in Arkansas could be increased
by at least $8 to $10 per acre
through two or three years careful
selection of cotton seed. Right at
home is the best place to secure
planting seed. Right now is the
best time to make the selection.
Choose the best bolls from the best
plants in the field, gather enough
j to gin a bale 'and save those seed
I from mixture with any others and
use for planting the crop the com
ing year. The opportunity to get
I good planting seed for next year
//ill soon slip by. Don't miss the
opportunity. Write Extension Di
: vision and U. S. Department of
Agriculture for futher details.

farmer and every boy select seed
on that day.

Arrangements were completed
last Saturday for Union county to

than the previous ones as the train
will go through a number of states
in the same latitude as ours and
where the same crops are raised.

School Opened Monday.
The 39 1C 17 term of the Huttig
Consolidated school opened Mon
day morning with an enrollment of
,240. which is considerble below
what it should be and all pupils
who intend to enter should do so at
once so as to get an erjual start w
the work.
The teaching force is as follows:
A J. Dowis. principal: Mesdames
Minnie Wood and G. C. Barnett:
Misses Vivian Simmons, Nan Ron
der, Eunice Chance'Ior and Luta!
Ballard. Miss Julia M. Solomon.!
w ho was elected to teach domestic 1
science and the higher grades, was |
taken ill and was unable to arrive i
in time for the opeiing and her]
place may have to be filled by some 1
one else. Mis9 Cora Nash is doing
her work for the present.
The-e is considerable complaint
about the charging of $1 entrance
fee. but same cannot be helped by
the board as the following figures
of the financial standing of the dis
trict will show:
Indebtedness Sept. 1 $2,291.97
Teachers salary . 4 980.00
Janitors " . 144.00
Interest on bonds 1.020.00
Total . $8,435 97 j
From this it will be seen that the !
approximately $4,200.00 fohich
the board receives annually will |
lack about that amount of paying
the current expenses for the year]
and the school will sta^t in nexti
term $4,000.00 in debt instead of
$2,291.97.
There is just one thing for the
voters of this district to do and
that is turn out to a rr.an N.vam
ber 7th and vote for Amendment
No. 12. which will give us the
right to vote a 12 mill tax next
spring which should run the school
n ely. The school tax at Farmer
ville is 25 mills and in a number of
states as high as 34 nils on the
dollar, so we cannot expect to g> t
along for less than 12 mills.
