The boys and Kiris clubs are
are doing more than any oth
er organization to interest the
young people in farming, live
stock raising and canning food
products. Every community
should have clubs to enlist the
boys and girls. The colleges of
agriculture and the county
agents will gladly lend their
assistance, but local interest
must be shown before theclubs
can be organized. Do not neg
lect so great an opportunity to
help young people in your
neighborhood.
When you consider the cost
and the value of improved
highways, do not forget that
they have a very real and a
very great value in the added
enjoyment and the added free
dom they give to all the peo
ple of a community; and that
this is a benefit no less real
than is the cost of the hauling
you do over the roads. This is
a benefit that it is hard to esti
mate the value of in dollars
and cents.
Good roads are needed not
only because they save the far
mer money and help increase
land values, but because in a
very real sense they bring him
nearer to all the rest of the
world and enable him and his
family to share inpleasuresand
privileges that are often out of
his reach when the roads are
bad.
Human happiness depends
upon the things that are the
nearest, to 11st—the home first
of all, and then the town or
community in which we live.
Whatever we do to make the
home pleasanter, or the town
better makes life more wortn
the living.
Tennessee, Louisiana anti
Arkansas are now the largest
producers of strawberries. The
crop 1916 is the largest on rec
ord and amounted to more
than 15,000 carloads. Tennes
see heads the list. In 1900
Maryland headed the list.
Newark needs a good gener
al cleaning up, and the weeds
along the walks on somestreets
are getting very bad. Clean up
and cut the weeds.
Let’s clean up and cut the
weeds.

FEED THE MILK COW
The milk cow must have
plenty of feed all the time.
When pastures begin to fail,
the cows to be profit makers,
must have supplementary green
feed or some cotton seed meal.
If the cows fail in their milk it
is impossible to bring them
back to the original supply
with later liberal feeding. It
is always wise to plan for sup
plementing the pastures in July
and August.
CLOVERS AND COVER
CROPS
Circulars on clover have
been sent to all the bankers in
Arkansas, to all county judges
and to all secretaries of com
mercial clubs antr to all county
agricultural agents and will be
sent to anyone on request. Ev
erybody in Arkansas ought to
know about the great value of
clovers and all prosperous far
mers are urged to sow at least
one acre of crimson clover, bur
clover, red clover, or alsike
clover or Bermuda or orchard
grass before the first of Octo
ber. Then with a small patch
each tamer can next year raise
his own seed for a larger field.
After a farmer has arranged
to sow a few acres to one of
the clovers he should then
plan to sow wheat, rye or oats
on many more acres of his cot
ton or corn for winter cover
and pasture crops. Let us quit
having bare fields in the win
ter and letting our soil wash
away.
DON’T BUY FAKE WHEAT
Now is the time for adver
tisements and circulars of fake
wheats, wheats that give mar
velous yields. The Arkansas
farmer who wants to grow
wheat should stick to what
does well in his neighborhood
or write the Director Experi
montjStatinn, Faveitevjllo £m
reports on best varieties for
or
Arkansas. Don’t pay a big
price for wheat without con
sulting your Experiment Sta
tion on your county agent.
WHITEWASH MIXTURE
For general use about the
farm buildings to assist in de
stroying insects, the following
recipe for whitewash is offer
ed by the College of Agricul
ture: Slake 5 quarts of lime
with hot water to about the
consistency of cream. To this
add 1 pint of zenoleum of
some other coal tar product,
and one quart of kerosene. Di
lute with about its volume of
water; apply with a brush or a
pump. This solution when pro
perly applied accomplishes
three things: (1) Zenoleum
acts as a disinfectant by kill
ing disease germs: (2) the
kerosene aids in destroying
mites; and (3) the lime whit
ens the buildings.
