GET FREE PLANS OF DRIERS.
Housewives who do not have a
supply of tin cans or glass jars
should make every effort to dry
their surplus vegetables and fruits.
Drying is a simple process and a
description of a home made drier
or evaporator which can be used
either for sun drying or over a slow
fire in the cook stove can be se
cure by writing to the Agricultural
Extension Division, Fayetteville.
These driers are simple in con
struction and inexpensive and veg
etables and fruits properly dried in
them will retain their natural flavor
and food value and when properly
cooked can be made into attractive
and wholesome dishes. Methods
for drying garden peas, sweet corn,
pumpkins, okra, apples, pears and
peaches and for any other vegeta
bles you may have on hand will be
furnished by the specialists with
the department upon application.
DESTROY THE VERMIN.
Rats and mice destroy or make
unfit for use great quantities of
of food on our farms and in our
homes. Every rat on the place
costs you something. He is a rob
ber and should be trapped and killed.
Eradicated the house of ants and
roaches and keep the weevil out of
the cereal. Place all food where
pests cannot reach it.
SAVE THE WILD BERRIES.
There are still great quantities
of wild berries coming on in some
parts of the state and huckleberries
will be in abundance. This fruit,
which usually may be had for the
picking, should be saved. Farm
girls and housewives will find it
profitable to gather this fruit and
can it, either for home consump
tion or for sale later on. Remem
ber, the experts with Extension
Division say that berries can be put
up without much expense because
it is not neccessary to add sugar at
the time of canning to make them
keep. Sugar to make them palat
able may be added just as easily
when they are ready for use. Full
direction for putting up all kinds
of fruits and vegetables may be
had upon request.
PRESERVE EGGS FOR WINTER USE.
All predictions indicate that eggs
will reach an uncommonly high
price next winter and every farm
housewife and town consumer can
preserve eggs for winter use as
well as the dealers. According to
an experiment conducted at the
College of Agriculture. The water
glass and lime water methods have
proven most successful in Arkan
sas. Water glass can be bought at
the drug store for about $1 a gal
lon. To prepare water glass, take
nine quarts of clean water, boil it,
and allow it to cool. Stir in one
quart of water glass and let it
stand a short time. Stir thorough
ly again and if cool is ready for use.
The ten quarts of solution should
cover 15 to 20 dozen eggs, de
pending on the way the eggs
are packed. If placed on the small
ends, more eggs can be packed in
to a vessel. The eggs should be
covered by at least an inch of the
solution. Stand the vessel in a
cool, well ventilated place. The
solution can be mixed and the eggs
placed in daily as they are gath
ered. It is well to cover the ves
sel to prevent evaporation. Never
use the same solution twice.
The method for preserving eggs
in lime water is very similar to the
water glass method. The solution
into which the eggs are placed is a
satuated solution of lime water.
This can be very easily and cheap
ly made. Take one pound of new
ly burned quick lime and slack it in
small quantity of water. Add this
milk of lime to about five gallons of
clean fresh water. Stir well and
allow to settle. The liquid is then
drawn off and when cold poured
over the eggs. Lime water weak
ens when exposed to air, so that it
is best to seal the vessels or re
place the liquid with a new liquid
occasionally.
MAKE THE BOY A PARTNER.
Let your boy have some pigs or
a share in a few acres of corn. Di
vide the profits of his labor with
him and let him join a pig or corn
club of your county. These things
will do much to interest the boy in
the farm and keep him at home.
At this-time when the new draft
law will make a good many vacan
cies in our towns and cities, our
farm boys can easily find plen
ty of work and good pay. Regard
less of what their parents think,
many of them will no longer be
willing to work for their living
alone. Give him a chance and you
will have less difficulty in keeping
him on the place. You will surely
need his help before the year is over.

treasurer at Washington. O. C., and
the remaining $229 will be used
by the auxiliary of the El Dorado
chapter which was organized here
Monday night June 18 with C. A.
Berry as temporary chairman and
Rev. E. F. Cole temporary secre
tary and C. T. Thompson tempora
ry treasurer.
The temporary organization will
conduct the affairs of the auxiliaiy
until the necessary papers are re
ceived when a permanent organiza
tion will be perfected and perma
nent officers elected.
It is hoped that the ladies of
Huttig who are* members of the
Red Cross will get together as
soon as possible after the perma
nent organization is completed and
open a sewing room in the base
ment of the Union hotel or some
other suitable place and utilize all
their spare time in making supplies
for the necessary hospitals which
the Red Cross will furnish.
This is a noble work and every
woman in Huttig should be proud
to assist in the work and we feel
proud of the generous response
made by the men Monday to the
fund and feel sure that everyone
who gave feel better for having
done so.
The State Council of Defense
has been in correspondence with
government authorities relative to
the development of the coal fields
on Arkansas river west of Darda
nelle, within a hundred miles of
L ttle Rock. There is a wonderful
deposit of bunker coal, equal in
quality with the celebrated smoke
less coal of West Virginia. The
government, seeing in this possibil
ities for the establishment of a na
val coal reserve, is bringing all
pressure to bear for development.
The U. S. bureau of mines reports
that the Arkansas semi-anthracite
produces for 1700 pounds the
equivalent in heat units of 2400
pounds of Kentucky coal. It is
pointed out that by reason of river
transportation, the railroads can be
relieved of much of the strain. St.
Paul and Minneapolis alone will
take 4,000,000 tons of the Arkan
sas coal if it can be delivered there.

NEGRO DESTROYS BOLL WEEVIL.
Plan Worth Trying, and Is Apparently Suc
cessful If Used Properly.
According to reports from Ala
bama, a negro of that state has
discovered a method of combating
the boll weevil, and has succeeded
in raising cotton which is not both
ered in the slightest by the pest.
If these reports are true the ne
gro’s method deserves investiga
tion and a thoro test as to its effic
iency.
The Montgomery Advertiser de
scribes the method as follows:
“John McDuff, a negro planter
six miles east of the city, has
worked out a novel and seemingly
certain means of eradicating the
boll weevil. He had 250 acres of
finest cotton in the country and not
a single weevil was ever found in it.
On being asked how he killed them,
he said he did not kill them but
prevents their coming to his cot
ton. McDuff is an intelligent man
and originated the method of run
ning them away himself. If it is a
fact, as is claimed, he has found
the long sought method of prevent
ing the waste of millions of dollars
in the South thru the ravages of
this pest.
‘The method is very simple.
McDuff takes crude oil, tar and
camphur gum. He puts these in a
pot and boils them. With sufficient
oil in the mixture to make it liquid,
he wets common croker sacks in
the mixture, then he squeezes
them as dry as he thinks necessa
ry. He says that if too much of
the mixture is usid it will kill the
young cotton. The wet sacks ire
fastened by a drag stick fastened
to the plow beam. Each week the
! crop is plowed and dragged over
with these saturated sacks, both
sides of the cotton getting the
fumes of the mixture. On going
down one side the sack touches
lightly one side and when it returns
it touches the other side.
“This method costs about fif
teen cents an acre, McDuff says.
He says he used the method with
success in 1915, and that he got
five more bales per horsfe last year
by having the weevils out of the
way. If it is a success, and it
seemingly is, this negro has solved
a problem that has confronted the
best brains in the South for the
past ten years.”

To Organize Housewives.
The State Council of Defense
has undertaken to direct the regis
tration of the women of the state
in the food administration volunteer
forces, under the plans that have
been formulated by Herbert C.
Hoover. The registration will oc
cur from July 1 to 15, and in that
time it is hoped that at least 25,
000 housewive and others who
are interested in the conservation
of food in the state will sign the
pledge cards that are being print
ed, obligating themselves to do ev
erything in their power to prevent
waste and teach a rigid economy in
the use of food products. Frank

probably have the direction of the
work in hand. Mrs. Joe Frauen

There is more Catarrh In this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and for years It was sup
posed to be Incurable. Doctors pre
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Catarrh is a
local disease, greatly influenced by con
stitutional conditions and therefore re
quires constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is a consti
tutional remedy, is taken Internally
and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System. One Hundred
Dollars reward is offered for any case
that Hail's Catarrh Cure fails to cure.

Canning School Tuesday.
Every housewife in Huttig and
vicinity should attend the canning
school to be conducted at the high
school building Tuesday, July 3, by
Helene S. Henrv, county home
demonstration agent, and a corp of
assistants.
Indications are that the war will
last several years and if such is
the case all who do not can enough
vegetables and fruit to do them
through the winter will probably
go without as the prices are high
now and by next year on account
of the shortage tin many kinds will
not be on the market at any price.
Let every housewife make ar
rangements now to spend the en
tire day if possible at the school
that all may tw proficient fn the art
of canning and preserving by the
cheapest and best methods.

Don’t Envy Your
Successful Neighbor
Just resolve to be successful yourself. The same
principles that have made others successful will make you
successful. Ask any successful man of your acquaintance
or read the secrets of success laid down by any man who
has beome famously successful and you will find that their
success came from their habits of saving some part of ev
erything they earned. They early established the saving
habit and when the great opportunities came they were
ready. Too many of us look upon saving only as a tempo
rary arrangement and fail to realize that it is the careful,
steadv and systematic saving that counts. Do not make
resolves that are toe great for you to ever carry out but
start now to save some certain part of everything you earn
— all you can possibly spare —and success will crown your
efforts. We will appreciate your account.
