The Importance of Xetches.
The fetches are important
winter growing leguminous
crops, that have not had much
attention in Arkansas and the
South. They should be includ
ed in the list of fall sown crops.
Especially do they make a fine
combination with oats or rye.
They benefit the land, afford
pasture or hay if saved, and
cut down the feed bill in either
case. In my opinion the great
est value of any of the fall
sown crops is in the permanent
improvement of the soil. The
vetches add nitrogen to the
soil and furnish a great amount
of humus for the next staple
crops: It not only furnishes
something to turn under in the
spring, but protects the land dur
ing the winter and affords an
excellent winter pasture.
The common vetch and hairy
vetch are the most popular of
the many varieties of vetch.
Both are weak stemmed plants,
both improve the soil, may be j
sown in the fall, both are best j
sown with oats or rye, to hold
them up, both make good pas
ture, hay or green manure as
desired and both require inocu

[ lation for the best success and
I in fact either the seed or the
soil should be inoculated on the
1 first trial of them.
In my judgment hairy vetch
is the best of the two for Ark
ansas. It does not require as
fertile soil as common vetch and
| in fact will do well on ordinary
I soil. Where red or crimson
clover have been tried unsuc
cessfully, hairy vetch has been
found to be a fine substitute and
is an excellent soil builder. The
seed are higher than the seed
for common vetch, but are more
preferrable. Hairy vetch will
also stand more cold than com
;mon vetch; neither will stand
our hot weather. The best way
jto inoculate is to scatter about
1400 pounds of sod per acre from
an old vetch field over the
I plot for hairy or common
, vetch and harrow it in.
The sod should be handled on
some cloudy day. If the sod is j
not available, it is advisable to i
buy the pure inoculation culture j
with which to inoculate the seed j
before planting. The culture \
may be had from the U. S. De- j
partment of Agriculture' at
Washington, D. C., or can be
bought from the Earp-Thomas
Farmogerm Co., Bloomfield, N.
J., oh from the Homewood Nitro
gen Co., 51 Liberty street, New
York, N. Y. We have numerous
failures with vetch, alfalfa, cow
peas, clovers and like crops be

'necessary, and we should not
| neglect a necessary step when
we begin the culture of a new
crop. We get reports almost
daily of success with these crops
in all parts of the state and
some from men who have failed
in the same localities. Most all
the failures are due to indiffer
ent preparation, failure to inoc
ulate or to the lack of doing
some other important thing for
the particular crop. Inoculation
is necessary where the seed
are sown on a piece of land new '
to the crop. Write for a bullet-'
in on vetches.
I have been urging winter
crops for some time and I am
getting some most encouraging
reports. There will be more fall
crops sown in Arkansas this
year than ever before and there
will be less feed to buy regard- i
less of the short corn crop. There
ire many benefits to be gotten
from fall work and we will
"ofit much by it. We can plow
deeper in the fall than we can
afford to plow in the spring, and
we can be at work when other
wise there would not be much to
do; the land is protected from
winter washing with some grow
ing crop on it, and we have
fine pasture and then something
to turn under in the spring; a
side from that fall plowing is
one of our methods for
combatting the cotton worm
and the corn worm and even the
boll weevil. It will be a new
day in Arkansas agriculture
when every farmer practices
fall plowing and fall planting.

The Organization Of An Army.
The average reader knows but
little of the component parts of
an army and for this reason
gains but the vaguest idea from
news dispatches saying that so
many batallions, regiments or
brigades have done thus and so.
Many we believe do not know
whether a platoon or division is
larger, though one contains up
wards of 50,000 men, and the
other less than one hundred men.
Memorize the following list
and you will then be able to
tell approximately how many
men are engaged wrhen you
read of regiments, brigades or
armies being advanced, checked
or routed:
INFANTRY.
A squad of eight men under
the command of a corporal.
Section—16 men under the
command of a sergeant.
Platoon—50 to 75 men under
a lieutenant.
Company—3 platoons, 200 to
250 men, under a captain.
Batallion—4 or more compan
ies (say 1,000 men) under a
major.
Regiment—3 or more batal
.5 *
lions under a colonel or lieuten
ant-colonel.
Brigade—2 or 3 regiment:
under a brigadier-general (per
haps 10,000 men, depending upoi
number of batallions and regi
ments.)
Division—2 or more brigades
under a major-general.
Army corps—2 or more brig
ades, supplemented by cavalry
artillery, engineers, etc., under i
major-general or lieutenant-gen
eral. Thus an army would b<
composed of not less than 60,
000 infantry, 20,000 or mor<
cavalry, and perhaps 2,000 artil
lery in actual battle line, noi
including engineers, commissa
ry, hospital corps, etc.
CAVALRY.
A section is 8 men under e
corporal.
Platoon—36 to 50 men undei
a lieutenant or junior captain.
Troop—3 or 4 platoons, 12E
to 150 men under a captain.
Squadron—3 troops under e
; senior captain, or a major.
Regiment—4 to 6 squadrons
' nn/lai* o oaIah
' Brigade—3 regiments under a
brigadier-general.
Division—2 or 3 brigades un
der a major.
ARTILLERY.
A Battery is 130 to 180 men,
with 4 to 6 guns under a cap
tain.
Group or Batallion—3 or 4
batteries under a major.
Regiment—3 or 4 groups or
batallions under a colonel.
Finest Crop of All.
"No country, after all, produces any
better crop than its inhabitants. And
bs I travel onward I like to think
of these brave, temperate, industrious,
Go-.-friendly American people. I have
