Summer Planting. -
Is there an idle square rod in
Arkansas that can grow feed or
food for man or beast? If -so,
spot it and plant some.' When
one crop is removed get the
ground ready quickly and plant
something. Plant what? Well,
here are some things to plant
and you may think of many
others. This will apply to vacant
lots and gardens in towns and
villages as well as the country:—
Sweet potatoes for food and mar
ket and for pig feed; Irish pota
toes tor winter use and for mar
ket; soy beans and velvet beans,
if planted before June 30; pump
kins, squash, sorghum, tomatoes,
cabbage, carrots, beets, turnips,
parsnips; corn for green feed for
niilk cows in September. Plant,
brothers, plant. Send foraGar
uen ( alendar to Director Cooper
ative Extension Service. Old
State House, Little Rock, or to
Fayetteville.
Houses for . rent reasonable,
see 0. K. Porter.
Suppose the residents of your
neighboring town wanted to tax
t emselves to provide sidewalks
and paved streets, would it be
just for you to oppose them.

Buying And Growing Feed.
* It is common talk all over Ark
ansas that it is an uncommon
sight now to see a farmer hauling
feed from town. That means
that last year farmers grew a
good supply. It is believed that
this is true this year. Hold up
hands, all who are planning to
grow enough feed this year to |
carry over until August 1917!
Don’t buy! With corn, sorghum,
Sudan grass, cowpeas, soy beans j
and the clovers and alfalfa and
with the finest winter pastures
in America the Arkansas farmer
can nave no excuse for buying;
anything for feed. The cotton i
farmer should feed more cotton
seed meal, one of the best feeds j
ever grown. It is Pot too late to;
plant waste patches to sorghum;
soy beans, or velvet beans. Get
a few hundred pumpkin seed and
stick in the ground in waste
places in the field, in the garden,
around the stable, or in fence
corners.
Be broad-minded enough to
see all sides of a question at one!
glance. When you realize that
our school system is suffering for
funds, and see what it has meant
to other states to levy a larger
tax~ you will be strong for Amend
ment No. 12. Why should we
drag along, when Kansas levies
24 mills and Nebraska 35 mills?
Does it look reasonable that a 7
mill tax will produce adequate
school funds for the great State
of Arkansas?—Arkansas Farmer

Better Cattle Movement.
This movement for pure bred
cattle in Arkansas is growing
fast and. faster. Already pure
bred bulls have been brought in
to the following counties;—Cross,
Poinsett, Woodruff, Craighead,
Greene, Clay, Randolph, Jackson,
Carroll, Benton and Washington
in the north and in Logan, Miller,
Ouachita, Drew, Arkansas, La
fayette, Ashley, and probably
many others. In all counties
where one or more cars of pure
bred stuff have been brought in
the bankers have assisted or have
financed the whole purchase. It
means that Arkansas bankers
are big men and see into the fu
ture. In all cases the money is
loaned to farmers where desired
at a low rate of interest. The
county agricultural agents have
in almost every case been the
“guilty instigators” or the “will
ing conspirators” of the bankers.
The Extension Service of the
University of Arkansas and U.
S. Department of Agriculture
has three field men in this work,
helping to organize the farmers,
going with committees to select
stock and in every possible way
assisting in the movement. Far
mers and others interested should
take the matter up with the
county agricultural agent, or if
no agent in the county, should
write the Director Extension
Service, Old State House, Little
Rock, for dates with the special
ists or for information as to
where to secure the stock.
There Are Others.
All the unsophistocated do not
come from the hay fields, which
is evidenced by the fact that a
city bred man was noticed re-1
cently dropping a parcel post
package into a garbage can locat
ed at Fifth and Main streets.
The can is constructed very
much after the design of a pos
tal package receptacle, and is
painted the regulation dingy
green. The man referred to re
covered his parcel later on.
Set Out The Box.
Little Rock, June 12.—A local i
wholesale cigar dealer remarked j
the other day that many retailers
unintentionally violate the feder
al statutes every day. He stated
that the internal revenue law re
quires that when a cigar is offer
ed for sale the dealer shall set out
the box and allow the customer;
to make his own selection. It is |
also a violation of law, he said,
for a cigar to be replaced in the
box after it has been taken out!
and handled.
