VOL. X. NO. 6
HUTTIG. ARKANSAS. SATURDAY. JUNE 10. 1916.
PRICE. $1 PER YEAR
m. BtlTER FARMING HINTS, w
PREPARE FOR PEACHES.
The peach crop of Arkansas will
not quite equal previuus records in
quantity but it is hoped that our
shippers will raise their previous
standards. This year Arkansas
strawberries were shipped on z
higher standard than ever before
and the season ended with Arkan
sas berries leading the country in
the demand in northern and east
ern cities. It will pay to cull bet
ter and keep out both small and
overripe peaches and use the can
ners at home. Ship fewer peaches
and keep the price up and can the
culls. Now is the time for neigh
borhood organizations to be formed
to pick and ship together and agree
to ship only first class and label
every basket with name of grower.
The Extension Division of the Uni
versity and the U. S. Department
of Agriculture will send a horticul
turist to any neighborhood on re
quest for a packing school.
BURN CARCASSES.
Hog cholera will never be elimi
nated and not reduced very much
until every carcass from a cholera
herd is burned. Farmers should
not permit carcasses to lie out in
the field for dogs and buzzards to
get at and spread the disease. In
fact, sick hogs should not be al
lowed to run out in big fields or
along the roads. If farmers will
learn to vaccinate their own herds
or join a neighborhood club with
one man to do all the vaccinating
and do it at once when cholera gets
Into the neighborhood and arrange
with some good local banker to
keep the serum on hand, the loss
from hog cholera can be greatly
reduced and the county agents
given more time for the farmers'
other problems.
AVOID SCRUB STALLIONS.
Arkansas needs more good
horses. We will not get them by
using scrub stallions. It will pay
to use registered sires only, either
with horses or cattle or hogs. A
colt from a registered stalliorf' will
usually be worth $25 more than
one from a scrub. Then it will not
pay to try to save $5 in service
fee. Arkansas needs several hun
dred medium weight gray Percher
on stallions, weighing about 1.500
or 1,600 pounds and as many good
Hackney stallions weighing about
1.400 or 1,500 pounds.
RURAL SUMMER SCHOOLS.
Probably one thousand of these
schools will be in session in Arkan
sas in July and August. Some
practical outdoor work will help
these schools to be more effective
than if the entire time were spent
on the usual school studies.
The Extension Division of the Uni
versity of Arkansas and U. S. De
partment of Agriculture, with of
* fices at Little, is preparing outlines
on six or eight subjects, including
studies or outlines on “Poultry,”
“Glovers," “Weeds,.Trees,”
"Corn,” and a few others.

Presidential Pointers.
The president of the United
States is commander-in-chief of
the army and navy and militia of
the several states when called into
actual service of the United States.
The oath or affirmation taken by
the president is as follows:
"I do solemnly swear (oraf
i firm | that I will faithfully execute
I the office of President of the
1 United States, and will to the best
; of my ability, preserve, protect and
defend the constitution of the
United States.”
| The power of declaring war is
'■ not vested in the president but in
j congress which may also grant
letters of marque and reprisals and
m*ke rales concerning captures on
land and water. Most of the ap
! pointments made by the president
j must be confirmed by the senate.
I The address of the president is
simply "The President of the
United States.” In the first con
gress there was debate over a title
and it was proposed by several
members that he be addressed as
| ‘‘His Excellency” and by others as
1 “His Highness,” but a committee
reported that it is not proper to an
I nex any style or letter other than
j that expressed in the Constitution.
In the constitutional convention
the first report fixed the term of
1 office at seven years without eligi
bility to reelection. In the debate
various periods from “good be
havior” to 20 years were favored.
The limit to four years was finally
adopted in grand committee and
ratified by the Constitution.
Washington’s first inauguration
was in New York, and his second
in Philadelphia. Adams was in
augurated in Philadelphia, and Jef
ferson and the presidents following
elected by the people, in the city of
Washington. Arthur took the
presidential oath of office first in
New York City. John Adams and
Jefferson died on the same day.
the Fourth of July, 1826, and
Monroe died on the Fourth of July
five years later. John Quincy Ad
ams was a reDresentative and An
drew Johnson a senator in con
gress after the expiration of their
presidential terms, and both died
while holding those offices. Tyler
was a representative in the Con
federate congress from Virginia
and died in office.

Amendment \o. 12 tndorstd.
The following is the text of the
resolution adopted by the Demo
cratic State convention, and which
was introduced by Granville
, Cubage of Conway, with reference
to Amendment No. 12:
"Whereas, many school districts
of the state are in such financial
straights that they will soon be
compelled to close their schools
and deprive their children of the
advantages of an education unless
some remedy is found: and
"Whereas. The only feasible
remedy proposed is that offered in
Amendment No. 12. which raises
the maximum limit of local school
district tax from the present rate
of 7 miles to the proposed limit of
12 mills: and,
"Whereas, This amendment does
not fix a tax upon any one, but
simply gives local communities
greater liberty in voting upon
i themselves a greater of less tax of
, any mill rate up to 12 mills, thus
enabling local districts to provide
for their own maintenance as they
see fit; therefore be it
I "Resolved, That we give Amend
ment No. 12. commonly known as
the Educational Amendment, our
: hearty endorsement.’’
Why f armers Should Organize.
“If you are to help the people of
your rural communities, in the
most effective way, you must help
them to organize for neighborhood
| improvement as well as to make
money.” This was the advice giv
; en by J. H. Miller, dean of the Uni
versity of Arkansas Agricultural
; Extension department, in his ad
T to county agnorjltura
1 agents of the South Arkansas dis
trict, who met at Fordyce recently,
“The biggest kind of progress
J cannot be made by our continual
j 'pouring in’ of valuable information,
but rather by he’ping people to
1 work out their own problems
through organized effort with our
assistance. The farmer must
learn to think more of his work and
of himself. One of the best ways
for farmers to reach this apprecia
tion of themselves is through or
ganized activities, and through
! neighborhood associations for com- j
I munitv service, for helpir g others I
| rather than merely helping them- .
! selves.
“A farmers'club or community j
club should be organized m every!
neighborhood where there it .ay bo
found the spirit of cooperation and j
local leadership. Such an organ
ization should be formed for com
munity betterment, for discussion
of local needs and for education. !
When neighbors are not ready t.o j
organize on the general plan they
may organize for a particular pur
pose. such as buying purebred |
stock, farm implements, building a;
dipping vat. control of hog cholera,
or for cooperative sale of fruit or
cotton or other commodity.
“But organization is the import
ant thing, and then the best
thought of the neighborhood will
find expression, whether in one of
the above matters, or good roads,
home and community beautifica
tion. in the schools, marketing or
health or education. Association
among men is an education and
leads to more education and co
operation and a desire for service.
Unselfish service will solve manv
community problems and county
agents in the extension service will
find their neighborhood organiza
tions their most valuable help to
greater service to all people.
When each school house or rural
church can become a real social
center, your work will be wonder
fully strengthened."
