MORE ABOUT SILOS
Arkansas farmers who want
to get ahead must grow cattle
and no farmer with ten cows
can afford to get along without
a silo. A home made silo 12
x 24 can be put up, foundation
and all, for less than $40. Put
the corn or sorghum into the
silo and have palatable and
succulent feed and save it all
instead of leaving the stalks in
the field. Then when corn is in
the silo get into the field with
plow or disc harrow and sow
crimson clover or red clover or
bur clover or rye or wheat for
a winter cover crop. Write Di
rector Extension Service, Little
Rock, for bulletin on the home
made silo.
BUYING ANI) GROWING
FEED
With corn and sorghum and
Sudan grass and cowpeas and
soy beans and the clovers and
alfalfa and with the finest win
ter pastures in America, the
Arkansas farmer can have no
excuse for buying anything for
feed. The cotton farmer should
feed more cotton seed meal,one
of the best feeds ever grown.
It is not too late to plant waste
patches to sorghum, soy beans
or velvet beans. Get a few hun
dred pumpkin seed and stick
in the ground in waste places,
in the field, in the garden,
around the stable, or in fence
corners.
SUMMER PLANTING
Is there an idle square rod in
Arkansas that can grow feed
or food for man or beast? If j
so, spot it and plant something.
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 market and for
pig feed; Irish potatoes for
winter use and for market; soy
beans and velvet beans, if
planted before June 20; cab
bage, pumpkins, squash, sor
ghum, tomatoes, carrots, beets,
turnips, parsnips; corn for feed
for milk cows in September.
Plant, brothers, plant.
TIMELY BULLETINS
Sweet potatoes, Crimson
Clover, Alfalfa, Sweet Clover,
Vetches, Soy Beans, Bur ('lo
ver, Liming Soils, Home Made
Silos, Canning Peaches. These
will be sent free on application
to Director Co-operative Exten
sion Service, Old State House,
Little Rock, Ark.
GOATS AND SHEEP
Arkansas could well afford
to introduce in the next ninety
days a million goats and half
as many sheep. Of course it
would be impossible to get that
many but Dean J. H. Miller of
the Extension Division of the
University of Arkansas believes
that this is a golden opportun
ity for Arkansas. Wool is high
er than for many, many years,
:?8 to 2 cents per pound, and
sheep will be profitable for a
long time. They are worth their
keep as cleaners. Goats are
worth buying for cleaning up
the thousands of acres of hill

NEW INDEPENDENCE DAY
The cotton farmers of the
South will do well to look for
ward to a new independence
day, a day when they can be
independent because out of
debt for the family mainten
ance. Why not name October
1 as the new independence day
and look forward to the time
when every cotton farmer will
owe no man anything on that
day and be able to hold his
cotton until he gets ready to
sell it instead of being obliged
to deliver it on a certain day
because it really belongs to
someone else? The cotton far
mer who has a good garden and
who grows feed for his stock,
and has eggs, poultry or pigs
or something to sell during the
summer, and can be out of debt
on October 1, and with a little
money in the bank, can right
ly think ot it as a new Indepen
dence Day. When all Arkansas
cotton farmers can hold their
cotton and market it when they
please, better prices will be!
