SCARCITY OF STEEL |
DELAYS DELIVERY
OF AUTOMOBILE TAGS.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Jan. 5—Scarcity of
steel is causing automobile owners of |
Arkansas to wonder when they are !
going to get their tags, but until the
supply at the State Highway Depart
ment. has been renewed, they will have
to wait, and they have a good excuse
to keep the officers away. A box or
so of the 1918 tags is received daily
by express, but manufacturing com
pany declares it is unable to get ma
^^rial to make the tags, and is ship
”^^ng them outt just as rapidly as they
are completed. There are several
thousand applications for license tags
in the office of the highway depart
ment, but they must wait the arrival
of the tags.
ATTENTION SPORTSMEN.
It is respectfully suggested that
all persons desiring to hunt or fish
after January 1, 1918, and who have
not already procured license therefor
for the year 1918, apply at once for
license, so the same may be issued
without delay. License may be pro
cured from the circuit clerk of the
county in which the applicant resides.
It is also suggested that sportsmen,
trappers, market fishermen and fish
dealers procure pamphlet copies of
Act No. 133 of the Acts of the Gen
eral Assembly of 1917 and the acts,
amendatory thereof, embodying the
Fish and Game Laws of the State,
and thoroughly familiarize them
selves with all its rovisions and re
quirements.

KEEP MORE BROOD
SOWS Si GILTS
These Are Some of the Recommenda
tions Made By J. H. McLeod, Se
nior Live Stock Specialist.
“Brood your best sows and gilts to
the best boar available. Consider
your feed supply and raise hogs
cheaper by combining forage crops
with corn.” These are some of the
recommendations made by J. H. Mc
Leod, Senior Live Stock Specialist
with the Agricultural Extension Di
vision of (he University of Ark
ansas, under whose direction a
campaign is now being put on in the
s fate for the purpose of increasing
ihe number of hogs to relieve the red
meat shortage which is confronting
us. In discussing the situation, Mr.
McLeod says:
“There is a 15 per cent shortage of
hogs. This shortage has been brought
about bjT a decreased production in
the United States and an increased
demand by our Allies. September 1,
1917, this number had decreased to
60,218,000, showing a shortage of 5,
427,000 head over the previous year.
This shortage must be made up, and
Arkansas has been asked to do her
part by increasing her production of
pork bv 20 per cent. Last year we
had 1,575,000 hogs in our state; this
means that ihe number must he in
creased by 200,000 head.
We Cm Do This in Arkansas.
Our corn crop is excellent, being
4S per cent (21,585.000) bushels great
er than it was last year. In addition
the soil and climate make it possible
to grow a great variety of forage
crops, and forage crops furnish the
' ery cnespesi nog u :‘os, cuusequeui
)y, do r.ot plan to produce pork with
out the use of some of the common
rrr.nlr.g crops like oats, wheat, rye,
rape, soybeans, eowpeas, etc. In
making farm plans for the coming
year leave sufficient ground to plant
some of these grazing crops for the
hogs.
It is a Safe Proposition.
The United States Food Administra
tion is behind the movement for
greater production, and guarantees
that the producer can at all times
count on a fair price for his hogs, so
that it will be profitable to him; to
limit the profit of the packer and the
middleman, and to eliminate specula
tion.
Begin Now to Increase the Number
of Brood Sows.
If a man has not all the brood sows
he can care for during the coming
year, his selection should begin at
once. This may be done by holding
back a larger number* of the best gilts
from the winter and spring sales, or
by buying additional females. The
demand for gilts and sows will be so
great this winter and spring that ev
eryone cannot expect to buy the pure
breds or even the best of grades.
Look for the sows with strong backs,
deep and lengthy sides and good chest
development. In order to bring the
largest number of pigs a sow must
have length and depth of body, and
to bring strong, healthy pigs and pro
duce sufficient milk for their devel
opment she must have a good consti
tution. In selecting and buying
breeding stock, first look at the hogs
the neighbors have for sale. This
will not only afford an opportunity to
ree the conformation of the hogs, hut
will also enable one to select the
most prolific breeders and heaviest
Feeding the Brood Sow.
Although there is a larger quantity
of corn on hand this year than usual,
one should avoid feeding the sow ex
clusively on this feed. Not only is
the number of pigs pjGdUCecU-TJylhe
sow aifeCfed by the ration, but also
the strength of the pigs. All rations
fed should have protein feed (such
as shorts, bran, milk, alfalfa hay, clo
ver hay, cowpea hay, soybean hay,
and green forage crops when they are
available), which is muscle building,
In connection with the corn, which is
fat producing. Unless this is done a
large percentage of the offspring will
be lighter and weaker.
Water.
Plenty of pure water is one essen
tial often neglected in raising hogs.
Many people still think the stagnant
pool or other filthy water is good
enough for the hog, but as a matter
of fact, the hog is an animal that not
only appreciates clean water to drink,
but will also pay a dividend upon the
time and investment necessary to
make the clean water available. A
sow that has this advantage always
gains faster in weight and is more
thrifty than one compelled to drink
from the stagnant pool.
8helter.
A sow does not require an expensive
shelter, but she Bhould have a shelter
in a dry place that keeps off the rain
and gives protection from the cold
north wind. A shelter affording these
meagre requirements can be built
very cheaply.
Protect Hogs From Disease.
More than 154,000 head of hogs died
in Arkansas during the past year, and
90 per cent of these animals died of
cholera. It will pay to protect your
animals from cholera, lice and worms,
the worst enemies of the hog. Con
