In Sweet Memory
Of Our Darling.
On Sunday night, July 1st.
1917, the death angel visited our
home and took from us our little
darling C. L., age 4 years.
’Tis so sad without you, C. L;
Vacant is your little chair,^
But we know you are with Jesus,
In that heavenly home so fair.
From our home you have been
taken
And we’re lonely now without
you,
But your smile we shall remem
ber,
And your little life so pure.
Like the flowers we placed upon
you,
Little buds not yet in bloom,
Dear C. L., you shall bloom in
heaven,
Waiting for us all to come.
You are Jesus’ little sunbeam.
And shining for Him each day,
Guiding us on our way to heaven,
Where we shall meet again,
we pray.
Yes, “Safe in the arms of Jesus, ”
Safe on his gentle breast.
There' by his love o’ershadowed
Our little darling sweetly rests.
His Grandmother Grail.
21 Counties at Work.
Little Rock, July 10—Twenty
one Arkansas counties
had on last Saturday formed per
manent county units of the
State Council of Defense and
were actively at work educating
the people in the matter of food
conservation, and other lines as
laid down by the National Coun
cil of Defense, though the state
organization. Many more coun
ties have been partialy organ
ized, and practically all counties
of Arkansas will report some
sort of an organization before
the end of the week.
This work is most essential at
the present time, and it is not
until after the counties have
been organized that the state
council can tell that the people
of the counties are awake to the
conditions which confront every
citizen of the United States.
The Little Rock headquarters
of the State Council of Defense
is now mailing each week to the
county organizations, bulletins
telling of the progress of the
work in Arkansas, which will nc
doubt arouse interest to the
pitch desired by the National
Council, and Arkansas will catch
step with the other states in de
fense work.
Counties reporting organiza
tion are, Arkansas, Bradley,
Clark, Desha, Garland, Cross,
Faulkner, Independence, Jeffer
son, Jackson, Monroe, Green,
Miller, Nevada, Scott, Lafayette,
Phillips and Pulaski.
FALL PLOWING
AND PLANTING
i
j Little Rock, July 11th.—It is
; only a few weeks until it will be
j time to plant the fall grains,
clover and grasses. The success
of the fall and winter crop de
pends largely upon the prepara
j tion of the soil before planting.
I August and September are
! equally dry months. If the soil
is not broken and cultivated, it
will dry out so that the germina
tion of the seed is not likely ta be j
good and the growth of the j
° . .... i . i

medium loose soil will hold more
moistpre than a compact one.
Breaking should be done early
and deep. If breaking is done
just before seeding it must be
done more shallow or the soil
must be rolled or packed down
with some other tool. Late shal
low breaking is responsible for
many failures in fall crops. If
the breaking is shallow the
roots of the growing crop will
stay near the surface as they
can not go down through the
hard dirt. This means that al
most the entire supply of mois
ture and food must be obtained
from the immediate surface.
Very often a heavy crop of weeds
is turned under just before seed
ing, This layer of weeds pre
vents the surface soil from com
ing in contact v^jth that below
and it dries out so that the crop
is killed. More early breaking
will eliminate that trouble.
A common practice is to sow
seed on the surface and turn it
under with a plow. The seed is
covered at an uneven depth and
a poor stand results. Tests show
that grans and clovers freeze
out much worse with this method
of seeding than when drilling is
done. In all cases the land
should be well stirred with a
breaking plow or some other ap
propriate tool and then be level
ed with a harrow or drag.
Large hard clods not only look
bad but make a poor seed bed so
that the seed will not come up
evenly.
Now is a good time to make
another planting of beans. They
will come off at a time when the
market and the quality will be
good. A lot of them can be put
up for winter use.
By all means keep up the cul
tivation of the garden. If the
weeds grow up or the surface of
the soil bakes, the garden will
soon dry up. By keeping up cul
tivation green products can be
had until late in the fall.
