Mr. Graham is a splendid young

Get Readv to farm.
A good many farmers have been
breaking land during the good
weather of the last two weeks,
i Early breaking ts good. Of course,
it is far better to break the land in
i the fall, and break it deep, but win
der and eapy spring breaking is
i next in importance. Do not break
as deep in the spring as you would
in the fall, but be sure to break the
land as deep as it was broken last
year.
Set apart your oat patch no w and
[prepare to sow early. Gat the
grou 'd in good condition. Remem
ber1 hit an oat crop is not culti
vated and good preparation of the
land is essential to a good crop of
oats. Select your oat land with a
view to following with a crop of
cow peas. Thus you get two cops
from the same land in one season,
and you keep the land in better
condition. Buy your pea seed
early, because peas are scarce and
hard to get. The farmers should
' raise more cow peas. They are
easy to raise, and threshers and
hullers are available and do not
cost much.
The price of cow peas is always
good. They are worth $2.50 to
$5.00 per bushel now. And speak
ing of cow peas reminds me that I
have a letter from a firm in Balti
more wanting the names of farm
ers who grow cow peas and have
them for sale. So tnere is a mar
ket at home and abroad for the cow
pea. and besides, it is one of the
best soil builders we have in this
country outside of alfalfa.
I hope the farmers of Arkansas
will plant more soy beans this year.
The soy bean is about the best focd I
obtainable for the hog. They will !
yield abundantly and will make hay j
as well as the bean. The hay is
•good and t i bean is rich in d:o
tein. The soy bean is equal to or
better than the pow pea in building
up soil.
In planning vour farm work for
this year, try to reduce your cotton
acreage. Better still if you can
avoid cotton altogether. Give
some thought and stu y to your
soil and the crops best adaDted to
it. If you can grow strawberries,
or truck, or s naU fr jits, give some
attention to those things. Maybe
you can gro v crops that will be
bringing in some moreyall during
the year.
Then, don'i, .erg.
the stock.
Keep one or more ccws so yc u will
have all the milk and butter th“
family will need. Ke^o a few good
brood sows on the place. Look
'after the henhouse. Sp nd a few
dollars for poultry wi. an 1 fix up
for the hens, so the worne . nd
children will have no trouble in
providing p'enty of egjs and chick
ens f ,r the table.
! Plant a good garden an 1 help
y ur wife to work it Grow plentv
of corn and hay to feed ail the
stock all the year. Keep some
good pasture for the cattle and
hogs, and have a small posture for
I the work stock to run on at night.
Farm work carried out on this
plan does not require much money
i to run the farm, and is sure to
. bring success, one year with an
; other.
