W BtlTER FARMING HINTS. **
FARMERS TO OBSERVE CLEAN UP WEEK.
Do not forget that Arkansas
Clean-Up Week begins No
vember 13. Give next year’s cot
ton crop a chance by fig! ti g li e
boll weevil dur ng clean-up week.
Remember that the weevil goes
into hibernation with the first
freeze and it is necessary to de
stroy his hibernation before that
time if we are to reduce the num
ber in our fields next year and save
cotton profits. It will pay to clean
up the ditch banks, fence rows and
corners and to burn the trash
around old stumps and the edges
of the woods. Plowing under cot
ton stalks and rubbish in the fields
before freezing weather will net
only help to»control the boll weevil
but will keej3 down cotton anthrac
pose. This dreaded disease, as
I . .
i we'l as the boll weevil, is gaining
1 rapid headway in the state and the
only successful way to combat cot
ton anthracnose is to plow under
the stalks so that they will rot dur
ing the winter months. This prac
tice will. also, a.-id great quantities
jf much reeded humus to our soi's.
Do not burn your crop remnants,
turn them under. Observe Clean
Jp Week.
SAVE YOUR IRISH SEED POTATCES.
J. S. Knox, horticulturists for
tne Extension Division, Fayette
ville, savs. "Every farmer should
ave his own seed potatoes, be
ause ev rvthiog indicates that
iribii potatoes for next spring's
ol -nting will cost from $3 to $3 50 1
per bushel.” It will, therefore, be
x good idea for our farmers who
nave a late crop of potatoes on
hand to reserve enough of them
for spring planting. There is a
large acreage of late potatoes in
some counties of the state and it
they whl store them carefully
so that they will keep well, they
will undoubtedly bring" exceptional
prices at planting time next spring, j
FARM DRAINAGE WILL PAY.
Well drained lands warm up I
mere quickly in the spring, can be j
worked and planted earlier, can be
worked more quickly after rains. |
Crops on well drained land grow off
more quickly and better in the;
spring, do not drown out in case of
wet weather and do not suffer so ;
much from dry weather. It may
i seem strange, but it is true, that,
i drainage makes soils drier in wet
i weather and wetter in dry weather.
Drainage improves the soil by
j taking water out and letting air in;
, it removes water so the plant roots
rrlay go deeper in search of more
! plant foods: it permits bacteria and
molds to continue their work of
preparing food for the crops. Farm
drainage is one of the best invest-1
ments on the farm, because it J
gives back dollars and cents in in
; creased yields. Especially it is
needed in the boll weevil territory
to permit earlier planting of cotton
|and promote more rapid growth
and fruiting before the weevils be
come numerous. Drain the land
and make one of the best invest
ments to be made on the farm.

tension Division. University of Ar
kansas, Fayetteville.
PREPARE HOT BEDS.
Now is the time to prepare hot
beds for lettuce and radishes for
>=arly winter use. They will be
relished by all the family and help
cut the grocery bill. Write the
Extension Division, Fayetteville,
for Farmers’ Bulletin Nos. 255 and
460. They will tell you how to
make a successful hot bed and
what to put in it.

Want Lyceum Course.
] have a offer from the- Des
Moines Lyceum bureau to send us
five entertainments for $115.00.
; 1 would like to sell enough season
I tickets at $ 1.25 each to raise this
amount and admit the school chil
dren free. During the past month
we have circulated a paper to learn
if this number could be sold, and
now we have almost enough. We
need but eleven more to sign up
for tickets. 1 wonder if there are
eleven citizens who will take tick
ets. and we have failed to ask
them. If you are one who has
been missed. 1 wish you would let
me know. A. J. Dowis.
Ill-Inch Guns Coming.
A French naval critic, J. B.
Gautreau, says'that the chief naval
lesson learned from the present
war is the supremacy of the big
gun. Tne fleet whose guns have
the longer range is the fleet
that is likely to win any naval
battle. It is understood that the
United States and Great Britain,
and perhaps other countries, are
experimenting with 18 inch guns.
Hfherto 16 guns has been consid
ered the limit. Even with 14-inch
guns, the battleship Pennsylvania
lately hit a moving target five
times in t'welves shots, at a dis
tance of 20,000 ya'ds. or more
than eleven miles. The power of
a gun increases enormously as its
bore increases, and an 18-inch gun
should have a range of thirty miles.
Card of Thanks.
We desire'to thank our friends
and neighbors for the many kind
nesses shewn us in our recent be
reavement and loss of our infant
child.

Warns Against Gasoline.
If vou don’t think gasoline is
dangerous, listen! Accurate rec
ords have shown, says the Ladies
Heme Journal, that the average
weekly toll of gasoline fires in the
United States has been twenty
persons killed and sixty injured.
Many of these fires have originated :
in such common home processes.!
as cleaning clothes and gloves.
Uncle Sam's experts have pre- j
pared a booklet showing why gaso
line should be handled with the ut- j
most care, and what precautions1
: to take in living it. This expert

Maple Hood Ter Pipes.
The growing scarcity of French
briar for making pipes is causing
manufacturers throughout the
country no little trouble to find I
| other satisfactory material. Va-j
rious kinds of woods have been
tried, among which th° maple wood
is believed to be the best. It is
said that a maple pipe will color!
like a meerchaum and, being a
swe°t. absorbent wood, takes up ^
the juices readily. It is not bitter!
and will not easily burn out unless !
smoked in a gale.

System for Harvesting Colbn.;
J. B. Hall of Philadelphia re
cently obtained a patent on a n^w
system for obviating the loss of im
mature cotton. His scheme is to
pick the cotton before the bolls are
opened. It is treated with a solu
tion in which starch and talcum
! form the principal components, af
, ter which it is submitted to moder- :
late neat which opens the bolls. A
1 big step toward the extermination
I of the boll we°vi! is affected by this
method, as the insects are killed
in the boll. The cotton obtained]
is also said to be of a better grade, j

Everybody knows that mileage is the
Supreme Test of an Automobile Tire. For
the same reason the Supreme Test of "Saw
Test" "Is Yearage.”
There you have the reason for its tre
mendous popularity. As a rule people know
furniture when they use it. The outside ap
pearance is not always indicative of inside
HI worth. The only exception to this rule that
we know of is the “Saw Test." Because
everyone who has used it will tell you that
it is every bit as good as it looks. You
don't buy "Saw Test" Furniture on faith.
No sireel You buy it with the positive cer
I tainty that it will look up to its aopearanre
as long as it lasts. That will be for sever
al generations.
