Soil Meeds Protection.
The surest way of increasing
crop yield is by increasing the
amount of vegetab'e matter in the
soil. In the absence of livestock
to produce manure the best and
cheapest way of enriching the
soil is to grow
crops and plow them into the soil.
Such crops can be grown when
corn and cotton are not occupying
the land and such crops will, there
fore. splendidly protect the soil
from wash ng during the winter
months. But that is not all. A
winter grown crop takes up plant
food and prevents it from leaching
ii h xvy rains. Here is a wonder
ful advantage that our climate
makes possible for us, namely, to
sow a crop in the fall that will keep
our soil from washing away, keep
the plant food from being lost and
make a large growth to plow down
to enrich our land for large crop
yields. On soils so treated is
where we get best returns from
fertilizers from the use of better
seed and from better tillage.
A number or crops wnl cio this
for us and this is the season for
sowing th m. Rye is excellent
for all parts of the United States.
Oats and wheat may be used in the
same way. but they usually make
smaller growth. Hairy vetch sown
with the grain crops adds to the
benefits. Crimson clover, burr
clover or vetch do well for the pur
pose on level land. Rye is th^
best general cover crop. It will
grow everywhere and protects the
soil well. Sow four to six pecks
alone or four pecks with two pecks
of vetch. Martin Nelson, Director
Arkansas Experimental Station.

labor on wash day, and to make the

Tick Eradication In Arkansas.
Texas fever, a disease which is
now causing thousands of dollars
of loss each year to the cattle rais
ers of Arkansas, will completely
disappear from the state when the
Texas Fever Tick is eradicated.
About one-fourth of the entire
state nas already been freed from
the tick. With the modern meth
ods of tick eradication, entire coun
ties can be freed at iittle cost in
from one to two seasons of sys
tematic work. It is only a ques
tion of a few years when the whole
state should be enti-ely free from
the costly disease. Texas Fever.
Even though not every county in
the state is ready for tick eradica
tion, it is entirely practical for a
group of four or more counties to
eradicate the ticks within their
boundaries, and derive the full
benefits. No section of the state
should wait for any other section,
but progressive men should take
the lead, and by freeing their coun
ties from the ticks should make
live stock raising sufficiently prof
itable to force the neighboring
counties into the eradication move
ment. In this way the work will
spread rapidly until the entire state
is tick free. When this is accomp
lished, stock-raising may assume
its rightful place as one of the lead
iig industries of the state.
The state la vs are such that any
county or group of counties may
organize into a tick eradication dis
trict. may levy a tax on all cattle
to pay expenses of the eradicatioh
and may look to the state veteri
narian to take charge and assume
the burden of the work. The Feo
eral government makes substantial
appropriations for aid in this work
The Bureau of Animal Industry of
the United States Department of
Agriculture now has a corps of
men, under direction of Dr. A. E.
Wight, in tick eradication work in
Arkansas. They work under the
state laws and co-operate with the
state authorities. R. M. Cow,
State Veterinarian.

Adopt Resolutions favoring Railroads.
Representatives of the inter sts
concerned organized the Arkansas
Tie and Timber association in Lit
tle Rock on Nov. 9. and the follow
ing is a part of resolutions adopted:
Whereas: The yearly financial
value of the forest products of Ar
! kansas sold and marketed, p ior to
1914. has been thrice that of the
Arkansas cotton crop: and.
Whereas: The tie, piling, lum
j bor and other of the forest p» cd
! uots used by railroads m their con
I struction and maintenance consti
tute a very large part of the total
output: and.
Whereas: The Arkansas rail
roads are in bad financial condition
owing to the general business de
pression. and the long carrying of
unjust and unnecessary burdens
resultant from unwise leghs ation:
deprivation of necessary- and just
freight, passenger and other revs
| nuns; arbitrary and inequitable
j verdicts, etc., etc., which makes
I impossible their purchasing much
needed ties, piling, lumber, car and
I bridge material, etc.., resulting in
' great financial injury and loss to
those engaged in handling the
i abave class of forest products: and.
Whereas: Necessity and self
interest of at least 50.000 citizens
a id voters of Arkansas, contrac
tors. sub-contractors, inspectors,
bankers, merchants, tie makers,
haulers, mill owners and operators,
timber owners, farmers and many
others who are beneficiaries of this
industry, compel cognizance to be
taken of the situation with remedi
al intent.

Fdrm CampJ^n Grut Success.
This is the second week or the
great Profitable Farming campaigr
throughout Arkansas. In even
county covered hundred of mer.
women, boys and girls have attend
ed the meetings. In the towns
business houses have closed anc
bankers and merchants have gone
out to the meetings on the farms
Never before have so manv people
been reached with the same mes
sage. “Arkansas must feed herself
and keep her money at home."
G. W. Watson, head of the farm
demonstration work of Arkansas,
his ah the farm demonstrat rs m
the work, and he himself is out
with the crews to he'p the penph
raise the farm products that will
mean money to them next summer
and fall. Ten of the strongest
men of the State College of Agri
culture have met hundreds of farm
ers and discussed with th> m th*
raising of chkkens. hogs. cows,
corn, nowpeas. oats. wh*at and oth
er things that mean real diversified
farming.
H S. Mobley. head of the Farm
ers' Union, has enlisted the sup
port of this organization in the
work. D. C. Welty. W. R. Beattie
and H. M. Cottrell, agricultural
commissioners of the iron Moun
tain, Cotton Belt and Rock Island
railroads, respectively, are helping
in the campaign. Geo. B. Cook,
superintendent of public instruc
tion. is directing the campaign
work in the schools. The four
district agricultural schools have
their best men out and a.re a large
.factor in making the campaign the
! greatest movement of its kind ever
carried on in the South. *
P. G. Holden, director of the
agricultural extention department
of the international Harverter
Co., who is known as the "Corn
Wizard of Iowa." has been in doz
i ens of committees and so have the
fifteen practical farming men of his
staff. Mr. Holden has shown the
pmpleth.it neariy. every counfry
has paid a monthly tribute of
thousands of collars to Iowa and
llbnois for farm products. But he
also shows that Arkansas can grow
these things just as well and cheap
er than Iowa and Illinois. "When
buying foodstuffs." says Mr. Hold
en. every man and woman should
ask, "Was this grown in my com
munity. and if not. was it grown in
Arkansas?’ Arkansas must feed
herself and she will. With her
good soil, fine climate and fine peo
ple, Arkansas can become one of
the richest states in the Union
through diversified farming, live
stock raising and practical co
operation, between business men
and farmers.

There is no get-rich-quick crop.
I The farmer should grasp this idea
j and hold to it. Anyone crop s^s
! tem is a speculation, and few men
thrive permanently by speculation
It is the conservative business m n
that avoids speculation who suc
ceeds in the end. The same ;s
true in farmi -g. The farmer who
raises corn and hay for Its st ck.
keeps cows for milk and butter, a
good garden, raises his own meat
and work stock, raises peanuts, po
tatoes. a few watermelons and
’ truck crops, makes his own mo
lasses and helps his wife and chil
dren with the chickens, ducks,
greese and turkeys, keeps a few
stands of bees and a small orchard,
plants peas md pumpkins in the
corn and raises turnips, fall cab
bages and bea s befor3 he turns
his labors to a money crop, will live 1
.and be able to buy school hooks,
school shoes, clothing and Christ
mas toys, and pay his taxes, no
matter what his money crop may
, be. If the price of cotton will jus
tify it. cotton is a good money crop,
but by all means it should be made
! a secondary matter.
My theory is that cattle ana
’hogs will make the best money
crop. A good fat steer will bring
from $40 to $60. Hogs will grow
into dollars now quicker than any
agricultural product, if you will
vaccinate them against cnloera.
1 he hogs and cattle are not p^rish
i able like some of the farm products
You can market th 'm any time of
the year. If the pri e is low when
they are ready to market, you can
keep them for a better price. You
; can't do that with all farm prod
ucts.
i Stock on the farm furnish ma
I nure and save fertilizer bills. Plen
| ty of stock and cow neas on th.
farm, with corn, grain, hay and for
I age to fatten it. and the manure
| saved and used, will keep up the
[ soil on the farm, and perhaps les
; sen youi labir. If you abandon cv
n* gHct these you will have to worl
harder a^d cultivate more lane
I year by year, or do on less.
