FARMERS URGED TO
RAISE MORE GRAIN
-%
Feed Crops Should be Grown
and Marketed on Hoof if
Farmers Desire Prosperity.
Fayetteville, Aug. 7.—Thai
Arkansas’ surplus crop of con
is not too large, but that even
bushel this year can be utilized
for home consumption by mak
ing it a feed crop and not a
money crop, is the belief of .1
H. Miler, dean of the extension
division of the University of
Arkansas. Mr. Miller urges far
mers, bankers and business
men to encourage the feeding
of surplus corn, thus cutting
down the expense item that
the Arkansas farmers is annu
ally paying for corn imported
from other states. So long as
Arkansas is forced to import
corn Mr. Miller does not think
there should be an over-supply
of the product.
“There seems to be some un
easiness on the part of many
thoughtful men inArkaiisasrel
ative to our surplus corn crop,”
said Mr. Miller, "and of course
we are all interested in market
ing whatever our farmers have
to sell at a good price. I am a
comparative stranger in this
great state, but 1 am disposed
to question the statement that
Arkansas has any surplus corn
—any corn that ought to be
shipped out of the county in
which it is grown. Doubtless
there are a few big planters
who have surplus corn, but
they are able to buy shellers
and prepare their corn for the
market. Fundamentally, corn
should be a feed crop and not
a money crop. Before any far
mer, white or black, sells a
load of corn he ought to con
sider carefuly whether he will
not need the corn before an
other crop can be gathered.
The work horses and mules
need more corn in the spring
months than they usually gel,
if the farmers art to plow deep
and work the ground well.
Urges Community Buying
“If small farmers do not
have live stock and cannot get
enough live stock to eat the
corn, there should be others
who will need to buy. Well-to
do farmers shoud buy corn
from their neighbors and then
get yearling calves or a bunch
of young mules and feed
through the winter. There will
be, without doubt, a difference
of from 20 to .’’,0 cents between
the September and May prices
of Arkansas corn and I fear
that most small famers who
sell their corn this fall will
have to buy corn next spring.
Why not encourage business
men to build large cribs and
store for the winter, as in most
cases it will be needed in the
same county next April?
. Feeding the Surplus Corn
"Rankers should discourage
the shipping of corn from the
neighborhood or county, and
bankers and business men
should encourage the feeding
of surplus corn and. if neces
eneourago certain farmers to
bring in young cattle or mules,
ho;- sheep or horses to feed up
th< surplus corn grown by
small farmers who will need to
sell. The farmer who has a sur
plus supply of corn should be
urged to build cribs, husk his
coin instead of ‘snapping,’ and
store "ii the farm for later use
or for sale to neighbors next
spring. The farmers who have
’ from 10 to 20 head of cattle
should build silos, preferably
of cement, for which the ex
tension division of the Univer
sity of Arkansas at Fayetteville
will furnish plans orthe\ should
build wood silos, for which
plans als-« will be furnished.
“Bankers who are coming to
be recognized as friends of thc
farmers, should encourage
some honorable man in the
Mate or Chi!!s & Fever
Prescription No. SCO is prepared especially
for MALAR.A or CHILLS & FEVER.
Five or sir ’ sea will break any case, and
if taken the- tie a tonic the Fever will not
return. It acta on the liver better than
Calomel end docs not gripe or sicken. 2Sc
community (if corn is to be
shipped out) to buy a sheller
and then buy husked corn from
the farmers, shell it and ship
same in carload lots, instead of
shipping the corn in the ear
and shuck and paying extra
freight. Or farmers should be
urged to co-operate in buying
a sheller and in shipping shell
ed corn in carlaod lots, if corn
must be shipped out.
‘‘I am sure that all agree
that the welfare of all must de
pend upon the success of the
farmer,” concluded Dean Mil
ler, ‘‘and that bankers and
merchants are all interested “in
having the farmer get a good
price for his product. We all
know that everywhere some
farmers must realize cash for
their surplus corn, but funda
mentally I am sure we also
agree that it would be better
for all for our corn to be mar
eted ‘on the hoof’ and kept in
;the county.”

Hogs Die of Cholera
Should Be Burned
It is reported that in some
sections of the state hog chol
era is being spread by buz
zards.
Prof. McArthur of the vet
erinary department of the
State University says buzzards
can carry hog cholera upon
their feet very easily. When
dead hogs are not disposed of
at once they soon attract buz
zards and in devouring the
dead animal, the feet of the
birds become covered with
cholera infection. From this
spot the buzards fly to other
hog pens in the neighborhood,
sometimes as-much as 10 to 15
miles away. Wherever the bird
alights, the germs of cholera
are left, and in this way chol
pera often starts in a neighbor
hood where hitherto it has
been unknown. All of this how
ever, does not mean that the
buzzard should be killed, as
this bird is both useful and
neeessay. What it docs mean,
however, i this—that farmers,
losing animals from hog chol
era or other infectious disease,
[should dispose of these animals
j by burning promptly. Burying
I will do if it is not possible to
[burn them, but burning is the
much better plan. Bysaturating
the body with coal oil and
starting a hot fire directly un
der it, a body can be burned
with much less trouble than
;it can be buried.
DOCTOR FOUND DEAD
j Marked Tree, Aug. 7. —Dr.
J. S.- Ketchem.a prominentand
wealthy citizen of Imboden,
] was found dead about five
miles down the St. Francis riv
er from here this morning. He
came into Marked Tree Friday
morning and had started to
walked down the river when it is
supposed he sat down to rest
under a shade tree on the banks
of theriver and was so exhaust
ed he died. He was found by
some people who were coming
to town and was later brought
in and an inquest held overthe
| body. There were no marks of
I violence whatever on the body.
INSURE YOUR CORN
CROP; BUILD A SILO
\ silo is not only the safest
form of crop insurance for the
Arkansas farmer according to
H. E. Dvorachek, animal hus
bandman at the Arkansas Ex
periment Station, but is stock
insurance as well. The succu
lent form of feed helps to keep
the herd in good health, and
insures a milk flow. The far
mers who have silos are nit un
f-easy about what they shall do
jwith their corn crop this year.
Even if there has been a seem
ingly over-abundant yield in
some sections rtf Arkansas, the
farmer with the silo is confi
dent of a market. And many
farmers who, before this year
have not thought of investing
in silos are now asking them
selves, “What kind shall I
build?” The value of silage
as a feed cannot be overestima
ted during any year; but in a
year like this the silo is the best
market for corn. R. II. Mason,
field agent for the United
States department of agricul
ture. now working in Arkansas
will furnish plans of several
types of silos for every farmer
in Arkansas free. To those
farmers living in tick free ter
ritory, Mr. Mason will not on
ly furnish plans but will give
a limited amount of assistance.

House, Little Rock, Ark.

NEWARK REAL ESTATE CO
THE BOY WITH A PATCH
The editor of a Missouri
weekly tells of an incident
which prompted him to write
a touching hit of truth as fol
lows :
“We met a little fellow the j
■other day about eight years I
old who wanted to sell us a
■magazine, and as he turned
away we noticed a nice, neat
patch on his clothes right
where patches usually are on
boy’s clothes. We called him}
back and bought the paper—
because of the patch.
“Whenever we see a patch
like that we let our imagina
tion go, and can picture a
woman—a neat woman, with
a rather tired, but happy look,!
and she is sitting by a work j
table putting a patch on her
little boy's pants. She seems
to take great prine in the
work and as she comes to tin
end of the round seam, she
goes slower, as if she wished
to prolong the excuse to handle
the garment. Then after biting
ofT the thread she holds them
at arms length with a look i
which only that kind of a
woman ever has. and sighing
lays them over a chair at the
little bed, and bending over'
the little sleeper she shakes
her head and says: “Do you
know you are a lot of trouble,
you little scamp. God bless my
little boy—God bless him.” If
there is an answer to prayer,
and there surely is, God must
bless the little boy with the
patch—and doubly bless the
little mother who put it on.”
