LITTLE RIVFR NEWS _SEMI-WEEKLY Per Year, $1.50, In Advance. —Published— Wednesdays and Saturdays ~ GRAVES & GRAVES7" Editors.__ Entered the postoffice at Ashdown Arkansas, as second class m-ali matter The fellow who said, "It isn’t oil that makes a nation great, hut elbow grease,” -spoke a whole sermon. An authority remarked that the wea ther this week was good cotton wea ther. We can also recommend it for corn, potatoes, beans, etc. In the past people in Ashdown ex pressed a desire for a suitable loca tion for a parkway. When the loca tion appeared available the money was lacking. Now there is a location for a parkway in Ashdown, and it is just where it ought to be. Maybe nobody has thought of it in that connection. The K. C. S. right of way lying between Front Street and the railway tracks could be filled in and underdrained bv satisfactory agreement with that com pany and the city. Separate the ground from the street proper by a concrete curb and develope a parkway the en tire length of the street. How does that idea strike you? It is something Jo think and plan for. It would not only be a satisfaction from a beauty standpoint to the residents, but n splendid advertisement for the town. This is our front door. The idea is full of possibilities. The one big interest just now is in getting the crops all planted and get ting good stands. That is the one vit al topic in Little River County among the few who have time to talk at all. The local paper’s greatest opportuni ty for service is in aiding rural devel opment. Take a county, for example, where the roads are bad, the schools poor, the schoolhousees inadequate, the water powers unharnessed, forests butchered, farmers using one-horse Plows, and putting more faith in al manac signs than in agricultural science, and the natural resources gen erally going to waste. What may not be accomplished in such a communi ty by an editor filled with the spirit of progress and enterprise! What a golden opportunity is neglected when such an editor shuts his eves to it and wastes his life in fighting the battles of the little cliques and machines inside his party!—Clarence Poe, in the Pro gressive Farmer. And that s the idea the News has had all these years. We had rather help build up than to fight any day in the week and every day. We know of no higher reward to a lifetime of labor than to have had a hand in the development of a great country and to help instill the spirit of progress aud enterprise in a people we love. We believe that the young man who goes out and rebuilds a worn-out farm andl thereby helps the community forward sets a good example, the end of which no man can see, should be let to under stand at some appropriate time that he has done more 'than if he had gone to some distant city to clerk in some body else’s store. He is a builder. CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING HAS VINDICATED ITSELF Co-operative marketing has vindi cated itself. That much may be safe ly said as a result of the first year's South-wide test. As Josh Billings said, ‘It’s no use to argy ag'in a suc cess,” and with 25 to 30-cent cotton and tobacco—well, hardly anybody any longer doubts that prices of both cot ton and tobacco have been greatly ottered as a result of the gradual and orderly marketing growing out of co operative organizations, although as yet but partially organized. Witji a great majority of the growers in,’re sults will be all the more gratifying. The farmers, too, have gratified their friends and confounded their enemies by the safe, capable, businesslike men generally elected as directors in all parts of the South. Growers have real ized that they were setting up a great business and financial organization, and they have tried to find men who were not mere agitators or orators, but men of level head, sound heart, and strong backbone—and directors do need to be right in backbone as well as head and heart.—The Progressive armer.

I DAIRY ! jL POINTS _ | KEEP YOUNG HEIFER GROWING Winter Rations for Animal Important if Profitable Milk Producer Is Expected. The dairy heifer, since stie is for tlie present unproductive, is likely to l)e neglected after the pasture season is ended. To keep the young stock growing normally during the winter months the department of dairy hus bandry of the Missouri College of Ag riculture suggests the following ra tions : If silage and clover or alfalfa hay are available, feed from two to five pounds of corn or other farm-grown grains available, depending upon the age of the animals. Heifers close to calving time can profitably be fed somewhat larger quantities of grain. If silage is available but no clover or alfalfa hay. u good ration would consist: of silage and fodder or mixed hay with a grain mixture consisting of equal parts of corn and linseed meal. Cottonseed meal or gluten feed may he fed In place of lin-eed meal. Where clover or alfalfa hay is fed alone dairy heifers will do fairly well 1 Heifers Are O .Lc.i .. _L, ....... When Cold Weather Sets In. hut will not make normal growth. About two pounds of corn daily will improve the ration at small cost. When only corn fodder or timothy hay is on hand it is generally best to purchase clover or alfalfa hay and feed equal parts of the two roughages. A good grain mixture for this rough rye consists of two parts of corn to one of linseed meal. :CE WATER FOR DAIRY COWS Animals Dislike It as Much as Hu man Beings in Winter, Says Kansas Dairyman. Although people drink large quanti ties of Ice water in summer, they do not Mice it in cold weather. But the only ice water that dairy cows get is in winter, and they like it then as little as do human beings, according to C. It. Gearhart, extension dairyman of the Kansas State Agricultural col lege. Cows producing milk require large quantities of water. They will di minish their milk How rather than drink cold water so often furnished them. Water which Is stored In tanks In winter should be warmed with a tank heater, says Mr. Gearhart. These ure made to burn coal, wood, or corncobs. When only one or two cows are to be watered, u teakettle of boiling water will take the chill off of the half bar rel of water necessary for them. GRADING OF CREAM IS URGED Surest Means of Producing Good But ter, Says Dairy Specialist at University Farm. Pointing out tliut cream grading is the surest means of producing good butter, A. J. McGuire, dairy specialist with the university agricultural exten sion service, adds tlint Eastern mar kets are scoring butter closer thnn ever before. “There Is real competi tion,” he says, "for the best markets, and If co-operative creameries are to hold such markets they must make good butter and see tlint it Is sold as such. A cream-cooling tank on every farm makes cream grading easier, both for creamery men and for patrons. Are you urging.cream cooling and cleanli ness of cream separators? \ is should precede cream grading.” •wlaa Santa Rings BsH. la the quaint little town of St. Gaft Ian, Switzerland, which has retained many of its curious medieval customs, Santa Olaus makes his visits ringing a gigantic cowbell, says Popular Science Magazine. In St. Gallon, every Christmas eve twelve men array themselves in white trousers and slilrta, embroidered wool anapenders, and bright red ties. Each one fastens an enormous cowbell sa to a wide leather belt, and covers his | head with an enormous mask of card board, the upper part of which la decorated by stenciled designs. One of the twelve la called “Saial ehlaus." It Is his duty to give the good children presents. Tha other elevee remain at a little distance on the oat cklrta of the Jolly crowd that follows Shorn on their rounds, giving candy to Ike grownups and entertaining every body with their downing. HAVE PASTURE FOR HOGS Ey Edgar W. Cooley. International Harvester Co. Agricultural Extension Department, Every pig born this spring should be grown in such a manner that it will produce the greatest possible amount of pork at the least possible expense We can raise 1,000 pounds of pork i while we are raising 400 pounds oi 1 beef or mutton. The best cow on earth can produce only about 2,600 pounds oi i meat in a year; a hog can easily pro ; duce $7,500 pounds. Pork is the only meat that can be shipped in ordinary cars or can be transported cheaply to all parts of the ■world. Not only must we produce as much pork as possible, but we must produce it as cheaply as possible. This means that we must utilize pas ture in feeding hogs. If we have only a few pigs, we can fence off a patch of clover or alfalfa; if we have a large herd we should turn the hogs into the whole field. If we have not sufficient clover pas ture it may not be too late to sow a patch of rape. An acre of rape, one month old, should furnish pasturage for from ID to 20 shotes during the rest of the season. A little corn fed to the hogs while they are on pasture wiill bring a good price for the corn. Too many of us starve our hogs dur ing the summer and try to force them late in the fall. This practice requires more feed to produce 100 pounds of pork than is needed to keep the shotes gaining gradually all summer. We should always have the hog pas ture large enough so that, as the hogs grow and consume more, and a3 the rainfall decreases and the plants grow slowly, there will be plenty of pas ture. There is no better or rn.ore economi cal ration for shotes than about two pounds of corn to every hundred pounds weight of shotes, and good al falfa or clover or rape pasture. o & /^^Tv AT .1 j S-Jiiit; Good Dairy ‘‘DorTts” j I Don't l'orget to wipe tlie cow’s j { udder and thinks before milking. f Don’t milk with wet bunds.

Indian Emerald Mines Located. The Conqulstadores, when they seized the rich emerald mines of Co lombia, forcing the native Indians to work them, suspected the existence of other mines. After a search of three years in Colombia, Christopher Dixon, engineer for the Colombian Em erald syndicate, says he has located some of the ancient mines hidden from the profiteering Spaniards by the na tives. The emeralds of Colombia are the tiuest, but not the biggest. In the World, and the country produces more than all the rest of the world combined. The recently rediscovered mines, Mr. Dixon said, are about two and a half days’ Journey from Bogota. Depth of Death Valley. Operations of the geological survey In Death valley have shown that the depth of that remarkable depression la less than has hitherto been sup posed. The lowest point is 278 feet Instead of 460 feet below sea leveL Both the highest and lowest points of dry land In the United States, ex cepting Alaska, lie In southern Cali fornia, and only TS miles apart. The first Is ML Whitney, 14,600 feet high, and the second Is Death valley. Be fore the Sutton sink was flooded It contained the lowest point of dry land, 287 feet below sea level.

While others do hard work for 15 or 20 years. It’s not because some have not been fed plenty of feed. A monotonous diet of corn, oats and hay doesn’t give them a healthful variety. / What Goes into O-Molene To make O-Molene the perfectly balanced feed for horses and mules it goes thru a special process of manufacture. The grains are crushed and made more appetizing to the animal as well as more easily digested. Only choice ingredients are used. Horses must have a feed that con tains variety. O-Molene supplies a perfectly balanced ration. What Is Taken Out First only the highest grade grains are used. These are dusted and thoroughly cleaned, taking out all the chaff, dust, clipped ends and other undesirable parts. Then the grain is dried in a large kiln so that much of the moisture you pay for in ordinary grain is removed. The result is, it takes much less O-Molene than ordinary feeds to keep a horse in perfect condition, and make him live and work longer. Try a few bags and you’ll agree that O-Molene Costs less in the long run. Sold By Sold by all Leading Grocers G. C Cobb Co., Distributor .- --— use** Judge W. C. Witcher of Ft.
