EPA extends dicamba products registration LITTLE ROCK, AR – On October 31, 2018 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that it will be extending the registration of dicamba products that allow for “over-the-top” applications on dicambaresistant cotton and soybean plants to control weeds. The two-year registration will be in place through December 20, 2020.

Approximately 3.28 million acres of soybeans and 480,000 acres of cotton were planted in Arkansas in 2018. Agriculture is Arkansas’s largest industry, contributing more the $21 billion annually to the state’s economy.

The Arkansas State Plant Board (ASPB), a division of the Arkansas Agriculture Department (AAD), has begun the process of reviewing the announced EPA label changes and will be considering the appropriate framework for the use of the products by farmers

in Arkansas. Additional information on the EPA decision and the regulations for the current use of dicamba products in Arkansas can be found on the ASPB website at www.agriculture.arkansa s.gov.

On Thursday, November 15 at 9:30 a.m., the ASPB Pesticide Committee will meet to take action, if needed, on the petition concerning the use of dicamba products in Arkansas. They will discuss the need, if any, for changes to Arkansas’s current dicamba regulations. The Committee will discuss dicamba regulations in Arkansas and prepare any recommendations to be considered by the full board.

All meetings are open to the public and will take place at the Arkansas Agriculture Department located at 1 Natural Resources Drive, Little Rock, AR, 72205.

November proclaimed as Arkansas Soybean Month LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Governor Hutchinson proclaimed November Arkansas Soybean Month, recognizing the impact of the state's top row crop, soybeans.

Ranked 10th in the nation for soybean production, the 3.5 million acres harvested last year in 41 of Arkansas's 75 counties yielded 178.5 million bushels valued at $1.7 billion. Grown in more than 50 percent of the state, soybeans are the largest row crop in Arkansas, covering more acres than rice, corn, sorghum and wheat combined. "The miracle bean" is found in almost every aisle of the supermarket and hardware stores, bio diesel and more.

"We [the Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board] created Arkansas

Soybean Month to educate Arkansans about the more than 90-year history of soybeans in Arkansas," Rusty Smith, chairman of the board and Prairie County soybean grower said. "We are proud of the work by our state's soybean producers, and this month is one of the many ways we promote them and all facets of the industry."

As the 2018 harvest continues, the Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board (ASPB) is partnering with Arkansas owned restaurants across the state during Arkansas Soybean Month for their educational food program, the Kitchen|Fields Table Tour. Developed to raise awareness about the soybean industry in Arkansas, the Kitchen|Fields Table Tour

encourages Arkansans and all who visit the restaurants to eat soy foods and soy fed protein, such as pork, beef, poultry and fish because of the essential nutrients and high-quality protein in their diets.

During the month of November, Kitchen|Fields Table Tour partner restaurants serve a featured dish dedicated to Arkansas soybean producers. To highlight Arkansas Soybean Month, the ASPB encourages patrons to post a photo of the various dishes and use the official hashtag, #ARSoySupper.

For more information about Arkansas's soybean industry, the Kitchen|Fields Table Tour partners and the versatility of soybeans, visit TheMiracleBean.com.

Tax reform may benefit local farmers and ranchers The IRS Media Relations Office has announced that many farmers and ranchers will benefit from tax law changes brought about by last year’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Some of those changes along with details about how they will affect farmers and their bottom line are: Net Operating Losses: These can now be carried forward indefinitely.

Under prior law, they could only be carried forward 20 years.

NOL deductions are limited to 80 percent of taxable income.

They can be carried back for two years for farm and ranch businesses. Under prior law, NOLs could be carried back five years.

Qualified Business Income Deduction: For tax years beginning

after Dec. 31, 2017, taxpayers other than corporations may be entitled to a deduction of up to 20 percent of their qualified business income from a qualified trade or business, including income from a passthrough entity, but not from a C corporation, plus 20 percent of qualified real estate investment trust dividends and qualified publicly traded partnership income.

The deduction is subject to multiple limitations such as the type of trade or business, the taxpayer’s taxable income, the amount of W-2 wages paid with respect to the trade or business, and the unadjusted basis immediately after acquisition of qualified property held by the trade or business.

The deduction can be taken in addition to the

standard or itemized deductions. In some cases, patrons of horticultural or agricultural cooperatives may be required to reduce their deduction. The IRS will be issuing separate guidance for co-ops.

Accounting method changes: Under the new law, more farm corporations and partnerships can now use the cash basis of accounting for tax purposes. This includes small business taxpayers, such as farmers and ranchers with average annual gross receipts of $25 million or less in the prior three-year period.

Farmers can refer to IRS guidance for more information about the process that eligible small business taxpayers may use to change accounting methods.

Quilt Society visits AR Old Statehouse museum exhibit The Grand Quilt Society met October 10, 2018 at Charlotte's in Keo with 6 members present. We ordered our pie FIRST, as we had our priorities straight.

Glenda opened the meeting with the thought for the day..."I'm cut from a different cloth, and they don't make that fabric anymore."

Happy Birthday greetings were extended to Eunice....Happy Birthday, Eunice!

The September minutes and treasurer's reports were given. Glenda reported that a friend had given her several boxes of fabric for us to use in our projects.

Before the meeting adjourned, members were reminded that the November meeting will be a Sit n' Sew at the library. After a delicious lunch and a nice visit, we continued on to Little Rock and the Old State House.

The quilt exhibit, "A Piece of my Soul, Quilts

by Black Arkansans" featured quilts from the Old State House's collection of more than 200 quilts made by black Arkansans.

From the brochure...."Dating from 1890 to the present, the

collection includes quilts, quilt tops, bed covers, summer spreads and quilt miniatures, many of which were created by multi-generational families.

Some were even made by men. These quilts are an important part of Arkansas's history. Through their patterns, material, stitching, and family oral histories, these special bed covers reveal the stories of late 19th and early 20th century Arkansas men and women. The oldest quilts in the collection were made out of necessity and with limited resources, but have become the pride of family members.

Practical yet beautiful blankets were produced in an atmosphere of enjoyment and companionship as family members gathered together after other chores were completed." It was interesting to see the different techniques and styles utilized by the quilters of all ages. It is a great exhibit and we urge everyone to go see the quilts before it ends.

The society also enjoyed the revamped First Ladies of Arkansas Women of Their Times Inaugural Gowns exhibit.

It has been completely redone and is more visible and the gowns can be viewed from the front and back.

"The 2018 exhibit redesign allows the museum to explore more complex and interpretive stories about the role that the first ladies played in Arkansas politics and culture over time. Today, when an inaugural gown is first acquired by the museum, the dress is professionally conserved, repaired, stabilized and fitted on a custom-made form to support its weight with minimal strain."

The members also perused the Cabinet of Curiosities exhibit from the University of Arkansas Museum collection that is currently on display. We had to pass through those rooms to and from the elevator.

Some of us made the comment that they would like to return just to be able to spend more time examining all the wonderful items shown.

The next meeting will be a Sit 'n Sew on November 14 at the Stuttgart Public Library from 9-3. Come bring your projects and your lunch and join us.

Fall Brucellosis vaccination program November 29th

by Brent Griffin CEA-Staff Chair The County Brucellosis (Bangs) vaccination program will be held Thursday, November 29, 2018.

Arkansas law requires that all heifer calves between 4 and 12 months of age be vaccinated against Brucellosis.

Representatives from the Livestock and Poultry Commission and the Prairie County Cooperative Extension

Service will offer an onfarm vaccination program at no cost to all Prairie County beef and dairy producers.

If you are interested, please contact the Prairie County Extension De Valls Bluff at 870-998-2614 by Wednesday, November 21st . A schedule will be put together and producers will be notified when we will be at their farm.

The Livestock and Poultry Commission has stated that each farm

where cattle are to be vaccinated must have a chute or squeeze chute with a head gate where cattle can be subdued.

Even with good facilities, the chances of someone getting hurt are possible.

If the proper facilities are not available or safe, the vaccinator has the right to refuse to vaccinate your calves. Calves will not be vaccinated unless the owner or someone representing him is present.

Now is the time to change out smoke detector batteries Bingo...

Clara Lightsey, Patricia Wallace, Connie Starling, Diane Bratton are pictured here at October Bingo. Linda Patterson and Ruby Todd also attended, but they left before picture was made! Bingo is held at the DeValls Bluff library every 2nd Thursday at 11:30. The next one is scheduled November 8.

Faith Christian Fellowship, located at 603 West Washington in Hazen, will accept the boxes during the following hours: Monday, Nov. 12, 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM Tuesday, Nov. 13, 11:00 AM 1:00 PM Wednesday, Nov. 14, 5:00 PM -7:00 PM Thursday, Nov. 15, 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM Friday, Nov. 16, 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM Saturday, Nov. 17, 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM Sunday, Nov. 18, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM Monday, Nov. 19, 9:00 AM - 11:00

AM The Samaritan’s Purse project partners with local churches across the globe to deliver these tangible expressions of God’s love to children affected by war, disease, disaster, poverty and famine. For many of these children, it will be the first gift they have ever received.

This year, Hazen area residents hope to collect lots of shoe box gifts to contribute to the 2018 global goal of reaching 11 million children in need.

“We have an opportunity to make a life-changing impact on children across the world,” said Hazen volunteer Beth Prine.

“These simple shoebox gifts remind children that God loves them, and they are not forgotten.”

For more information on how to participate in Operation Christmas Child, visit samaritanspurse.org/occ.

Participants can donate $9 per shoebox gift online through “Follow Your Box” and receive a track-

ing label to discover its destination. Those who prefer the convenience of online shopping can b r o w s e samaritanspurse.org/buildonline to select gifts matched to a child’s specific age and gender, then finish packing the virtual shoebox by adding a photo and personal note of encouragement.

Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief and evangelism organization headed by Franklin Graham. The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world and, together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has collected and delivered more than 157 million gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more than 160 countries and territories.

Thank You The Herald staff would like to say a big Thank You to the businesses that advertised on the Arm Chair Quarterback page this year. Let’s continue to support our Hazen Hornets and Des Arc Eagles at their playoff games which start this week.

They have worked very hard to get where they are, and we are proud of them.

Hazen Fire Chief Ashley Loudermilk wants to remind everyone that now is the time to change out the batteries on their smoke detectors. The weather has turned cooler, and Prairie Countians are starting up their wood-burning fireplaces and heaters.

“Associating the time change in the fall with

the time that you change your smoke detector batteries is a good way to remember this task,” Loudermilk said.

The National Fire Protection Association reports that “three out of five home fire deaths result from fires in properties without working smoke alarms and that more than one-third (38

percent) of home fire deaths result from fires in which no smoke alarms are present.” The risk of dying in a home fire is cut in half in homes with working smoke alarms, according to their website.

“If you don’t have smoke detectors in your home, now is the time to purchase some,” Loudermilk said

Hazen Elementary holds Math and Science Night October 23rd

Hornets end season on top It has finally been unchangeably decided that the Hornets will enter the Arkansas state championship football games undefeated.

The Hazen Hornets defeated the Marvell Mustangs in the last game of the regular season last Thursday night, November 1.

Although the game was played on a different day, the same outcome was produced when the Hazen Hornets put the Marvell Mustangs to shame on their own homefield, beating them 74-0. The Hornets had this game so far down in the bag that the coaches were letting linemen run the touchdowns, and it was working.

The game began with Marvell kicking off. The ball was received by Ay’jon Green (21) who nearly ran it all the way back for a touchdown but was tackled near Marvell’s goal line. The next snap was handed off to Jacob Weems (5) who ran the ball in for the first of many touchdowns this game - for the Hornets at least. The extra point was successfully run in by Green.

Hardly any time at all after the Mustangs got the ball back they fumbled it, and it was recovered by Donovan Harris (4) putting it right back in Hazen’s hands. After the fumble recovery, Blayne Toll (10) threw a long pass to Ethan

Whitworth (11) who was guarded in the endzone but was still able to pull off the catch for the 2nd touchdown of the game.

After this the ball was handed to Terrell Penn (22) who ran it in for an extra point, putting the game 16-0 in favor of the Hornets.

Next the Hornets kicked the ball off and, for a while, Marvell did what they could to move it down the field in hopes of getting to score. But one of their attempted passes was taken out of the air

by Toll who ran it right back for the game’s 3rd touchdown. The extra point was scored by Green, putting the game at 24-0 in a small amount of time.

You might think that the Hornets couldn't get the ball back and score any faster than they had been, but the first play of Marvell’s next drive would prove you wrong.

The Mustangs fumbled the ball, and it was scooped up by Demariae Buchanan (33) who, you guessed it, ran the ball 25 yards, all the way back, for a touchdown. No extra point was scored leaving the game at 30-0 with a whole 6 minutes and 21 seconds left in the 1st quarter.

The Hornets kicked the ball off once again, and Marvell caught it and finally started to make some progress throughout the next few plays moving the ball down the

New and just in.

field slowly but surely.

They may have even scored if they hadn’t fumbled the ball another time. This time the fumble was recovered by linemen Ross Seidenschwarz (66). The next play was an inside handoff to Penn who ran it 50 yards down the field for a touchdown.

No extra point was score, and the first quarter ended with Hazen in a 36-0 lead.

It wasn't long before Green scored the first touchdown of the 2nd quarter which was followed by an extra point kicked by Jacob Weems (5) putting the game now at 43-0. When Jacob kicked the ball off this time it was low and fast.

It hit the ground and skipped past every one of Marvell’s players causing the intended receiver to have to turn around, pick up the ball then turn back around and start to run losing potential yards throughout the process.

Needless to say the Hornets gave the Mustangs a quick three downs and forced them to punt.

The ball was received and handed off to Rasheed Mills (1) who dodged Mustangs all the way down the field for a 50 yard touchdown, putting the game at 51-0 with 6:52 left in the 2nd quarter. Before the quarter ended the Hornets were able to pull off just a few more points by recovering another fumble on defense, and handing the ball to Chance Taylor (3) who stumbled into the endzone for his first touchdown of the season.

After Weems kicked the extra point, the 2nd quarter ended with a score of 58-0.

Just a couple plays into the third quarter, the Hornets drove the opposing quarterback all the way back into the endzone and got the tackle for a safety. Increasing the lead to 60-0. Four plays later, Mills was able to score another touchdown followed by another extra point kicked by Weems putting the score at 67-0. No other points were scored during the 3rd quarter.

The only score made in the 4th was when the ball was handed to linemen Jackson Shelman (61) who dove into the endzone for his season’s first score but the game’s last touchdown. It was followed by Weems kicking one last extra point.

The scoreboard lit up the sky with bright numbers reading 74-0 in favor of the Hazen Hornets, ending the regular season.

The Hornets will play Quitman at Hornet Field on Friday, Nov. 9 at 7:00 p.m.

I’m dreaming of a commercial free world...

by Dr. James L. Snyd der

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”

(2 Timothy 3:16-17).

Calvary Baptist Church West North Front Street, Hazen, AR Phone: (870) 255 - 4038 Christian VanHouten, pastor Sunday School: 9:50 AM Worship: 10:45 AM BTC: 6 PM Evening Worship 6:45 PM Wednesday Bible Study: 7 PM First Baptist Church 224 N. Hazen Ave. Hazen, AR 72064 Phone: (870) 255 - 4464 Sunday Service Sunday School: 10:00 AM Morning Worship: 11:00 AM Evening Worship: 6:00 PM

It was one of those really busy weeks where there was hardly enough time to breathe. For myself, I was glad the week was over and I could relax for the evening.

“What do you want for supper?” The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage queried. “Do you want to go out for supper?”

Going out for supper was the last thing on my mind. All I wanted to do was relax here at the house. “No,” I said rather hesitatingly, “why don’t we just order a pizza and stay home tonight?” That brought a nice smile to her face. It is the one time that I made the right decision.

So, we ordered the pizza and were ready to settle down and enjoy the evening together watching TV. Nothing could be more relaxing after the kind of week we had. It was like two steps forward and five steps backward.

The pizza arrived in good time and we were ready to turn our back on the world, the past week and just enjoy our own little companionship.

Ordering pizza can sometimes be tricky. I

like pepperoni, she likes mushroom and the twain never comes together. So we ordered a large pizza half pepperoni and half mushroom. That way I know I will get my half. I know she will not eat any of the pepperoni pizza.

We were all snuggled down in our easy chairs eating pizza, drinking soda and watching TV. “What do you want to watch tonight?” “I don’t know,” she said hesitatingly, “anything is good for me tonight.”

We settled on one of those Hallmark movies playing that night and began watching it. If you ever watched a movie on TV, you know that they cannot go long without breaking for commercials.

It was agitating to me, but I just indulged in my pizza and soda.

Then I heard a very deep sighing on the other side of the room. For a while, I pretended not to hear it. I just kept munching on my pizza.

The sighing got louder and I tried to crunch louder. Unfortunately, the sighing won. The next stage was, “I can’t believe all of that.”

Again, I tried to mind my own business and

focus on the movie. At the next commercial I heard somebody say, and it wasn’t me, “I am just about tired of all that.”

I am not sure what she was tired of; I was hoping it was not me. I know it wasn’t the pizza. You can only handle something for so long.

Finally, I said, “What are you tired of?” “I’m tired,” she said most exasperatingly, “of all those commercials. I'm tired of them all. I want them to go away.”

I had to agree with her at this point. I am so tired of commercials. I am dreaming of some world where there are no commercials.

While watching this movie we decided to do a little bit of research.

After every part of the movie, it came to commercial time. When the commercials started coming we started counting them. Between every segment, there were 117 commercials. It seemed that way at least.

The worst part of these commercials was the fact that most of them were political commercials.

Personally, I think that should be against the law. And the Gracious

Mistress of the Parsonage agrees with me. So, if she agrees with me it must be something of consequence.

If I want to see a commercial, I will go and watch a commercial.

After all, I do have a computer. But please, do not splatter my TV screen with commercial after commercial after commercial.

When a commercial comes on I can get up, go take a shower, shave and practice my Yogi Berra before the next part of the movie begins.

I have noticed that if I am watching TV while eating something they always have commercials about diarrhea. Why do I want to know about that while I am eating? That is most disgusting.

Even more disgusting are political commercials.

Again, I think it should be against the law for any political commercials to be on my television.

They should set aside one TV station that runs nothing but commercials 24/7. Then, if I want to watch a commercial, I know where to go.

If a political candidate wants to run for some office, they should write

an essay about what they believe and post it on their website. Then, if I want to know anything about them, I know where to go. Only please, stay off my TV set.

While watching our movie, it became very confusing. It is hard to leap across the commercials to follow the story line. We decided to time things. The movie part would last about eight minutes and the commercial part would last over 10 minutes.

Talk about being unfair.

I never turn the TV on to watch a commercial. It would be hard for me to find a commercial that I have any interest in whatsoever.

The only place I can find a commercial free environment is the Bible.

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

The one pleasure in reading the Bible is that there are no distractions.
