To Plant Winter Crops.
I believe that the great major
ity of our farmers have realized
the fact that there might be a
little shortage of money and
feed this winter and have made
preparation. In my opinion there
has been and will be more oats,
clovers, alfalfa and like crops
sown in Arkansas this fall than
ever before. I have a very in
teresting letter from one of our
South Arkansas farmers, who
' says, in part, ‘‘Never in my life
have I been s0 thoroughly con
vinced that I ought to abandon
old practices, as I have this sum
mer. I have fine corn and I got
it by preparation and then al
most continuous shallow cultiva
tion. I have peas in the middles
and expect to sell quite a few
bushels. I am going to use ev
ery acre of land I can for some
winter crop. I will have some
alfalfa, some turf oats, some
clover and I want a few acres of
rye. I have found that my land
is better taken care of and I
save money and corn and I have
something to turn under in the
spring. I see now the mistakes
I have made in the past.”

from every section and in many
cases the farmers are making ex
tensive preparations for winter
feed crops. The Judsonia Truck
Growers’ Association asked the
department to help locate a car
of turf oats for fall seeding,
Arkansas farmers will not be in
very bad need of stock feed this
winter, regardless of the price of
cotton or the yield of corn. Cer
tainly those farmers who are
making their plans for rye, oats,
alfalfa, etc., will not have to
pay a big price for feed.
It is rather hard to believe
that we have $23,000,000 worth
of meat shipped into Arkansas
I yearly and we have only about a
; $<50,000,000 cotton crop. It is
hard-to believe that there is $12,
000,000 annua!!1/ spent for dai
ry products from other States
i that could be raised in Arkansas.
Ove rhalf of our cotton money
spent for two articles that we
could raise at home if we would.
One of the greatest reasons
why we have depended on other
States to furnish feed, butter
and meat is because we have
never been so familiar with the
growing of winter crops and too
familiar with cotton to the ex
clusion of grain and hay crops.
The great movement now on for
winter cover crops will be far
reaching and before many' years
wre will raise our own feed in
agricultural pursuits. We are
paving the way for more live
stock. When we increase the
acreage of winter cover crops,
we will necessarily have more
livestock and then we will have
more money, more profit, more
pleasure and better land.

After Automobile Speeders.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, August 25.—The
Little Rock police are enforc
ing rigidly the law against auto
mobile speeding. Special officers
have been put at work, running
down this class of offenders, and
many arrests have been made
every day. Instructions are
when caught exceeding fifteen
miles an hour.
Already one city official and
one prominent county official
have been brought into police
court and fined. It is realized
that drastic rules must be made
to protect the public from the
speed demons. Members of the
council are discussing the advis
ability of passing an ordinance
providing for the licensing of
all drivers of cars ercept the
owner himself, making convic
tion for fast driving sufficient
ground for revocation of li
cense.
