BUY ARKANSAS GOODS.
A farmer's wife told the writer
recently that sht had 4000 cans of
1915 peaches that she had not
been able to sell. Doubtless with
in a radius of 50 miles of her home
100.000 cans of Michigan and
New York peaches have been sold
to the ladies of the towns and
cities. Why not ask the grocer for
Arkansas peaches and Arkansas
tomatoes and all other kinds of
canned goods and thus make a
good market for Arkansas food
stuffs? Now is a good time for
some practical patriotism. Try it.
Let everybody ask next week for
Arkansas peaches and let every
body buy liberally, especially of the
small farmer who peddles his own
peaches. Then don't beat down
the price. Last year most farm
ers lost money on their peaches
and so this year let every town and
city housekeeper buy liberally and
pay good prices and can Arkan
sas peaches and have Arkan
sas peaches to eat next winter
Why not put up a lot of peach but
ter for the school lunches for the
youngsters? Let every Ladies'
Aid society and every ladies’ club
have a new roll call for the next
three months and let every mem
ber respond with her number of
cans of Arkansas peaches and her
number of glasses of Arkansas
peach and grape jam.
A FLOCK OF CHEEP.
The prettiest sight on a farm is a
field of clover or alfalfa and the
next is a flock of sheep in that
pasture. But sheep will pay the
farmer a profit even if they do not
get into such a fine pasture. A
flock of sheep will pay a farmer if
fed on the "scraps" and waste
places, the wood pastures, and if
allowed to clean after regular crops
are harvested. They are worth
their keep to eat weeds and brush,
and wool is high and mutton will
be a good price for ten years. No
ewe lamb should be killed but all
should be kept for breeding. The
world is facing a sheep and wool
famine. The Extension Division
of the University of Arkansas and
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
Fayetteville and Little Rock, are
desirious of building up our sheep
industry. Write Director Exten
sion Service, Little Rock, or Prof.
H. E. Dvorachek, College of Agri
culture, Fayetteville, or talk with
j the county agents.
SAVE THE COWS.
Almost the greatest calamity
that has fallen upon Arkansas this
year is the sale of thousands of
young cows and heifers. This
country and the whole world is
facing a meat famine and we
should have kept more of these
cows. We should sell off the scrub
bulls, and the sooner the better.
Then with the scrub cows and
pure bred bulls our farmers can
make money, and by keeping the
best heifer calves they 'can build
up good herds in a few years. The
greatest thing Arkansas farmers
can do this season is to sell the
scrub, get in pure'bred bulls and
get into the business of growing
cattle for J,he northern market.
Breed beef cows to freshen in
March, dairy cows to freshen about
October 1 and keep meat calves
to seven or eight months of age
or possibly up to weight of about
seven hundred pounds and sell to
northern feeders. Male calves
from dairy cows, born in October,
may be slaughtered in a few weeks
or if of good form may be kept at a
profit for one year. Write the Ex
tension Division of the University
of Arkansas and U. S. Department
of Agriculture at Fayetteville or
Little Rock for bulletins on cattle
A STITCH IN TIME SAVES 250,000.
Entomologists estimate that one
pair of boll weeyils emerging early
in the year may have before frost
in the fall 250.000 living descend
ants. Therefore, if the first few
weevils to emerge are allowed to
live they will soon produce enough
young weevils to destroy the
squares as rapidly as they can be
put on. Why not avoid this by
watching for the first weevi's, pick
ing up the first/ squares that fall,
destroy them and in this way pre
vent the rapid multiplication of the
weevils. Watch all the time for
the characteristic flare of the
square. Get them now, pick them
up quickly and destroy them. Ev
ery weevil caught now will mean
at least 100,000 fewer this fall
and a better chance to make some
August cotton. Get him first or
he’s certain to get you. The Ex
tension Division of the University
and the Department of Agriculture
recommends: Picking and burn
ing squares and practicting con
sistent, shallow, late cultivation.
THE CLOVER CAMPAIGN.
All the forces interested in agri
culture in Arkansas, Tennessee
and Mississippi are now coopera
ting in a campaign for more clo
vers. It is earnestly desired that
on every farm in the three states
there be seeded this season a small
patch or field of some clover.
Each farmer should acquaint him
self with the various clovers and
the soil requirements and then
plant the variety best suited to his
farm and his needs and on the best
patches or fields. Do not plant on
poor ground unless it can follow
cowpeas plowed under in Septem
ber. The Extension Division of
the University has been planning
this clover campaign for the past
'six months and it welcomes the
| cooperation of all other agencies,
j Farmers should consult the county
agents or write the Director of Ex
; tension Service at Fayetteville or
Little Rock for bulletins and sug
gestions.

Go the country for health and

Entertain Club Members.
Fifty girls members of the Union
County Canning clubs and twenty
five boys members of the Corn
: clubs were entertained by the citi
zens of El Dorado last week at
their second annual meeting.
County Judge H. S. Yocum made
the address of welcome.
Miss Emma Archer, state agent
of canning club work, and her as
sistant. Miss Ruby Tennyson, had
general supervision of the work.
Henry F. Kapp, district agent of
the extension service; W. J. Jerni
gan, in charge of the club work of
the state, and Earl Kilpatrick
specialist on agronomy, made ad
dresses. The following county
canning club agents were present:
Miss Lela Goodwin of Drew coun
ty, Miss Sallie Gladden of Bradley
county, Mrs. A. P. Reynolds of
Arkansas county and Miss Pearl
Carmichael of Union county.
They divided the members of the
club into four squads and gave
special instruction work. Mrs.
Rufus N. Garrett, chairman of the
home economics department of the
Arkansas Federation Women’s
clubs, made a talk on home eco
nomics and assisted in the work.
Free entertainment was given the
boys and girls in the homes in the
town. They were taken for a auto
drive over the city and were given
free tickets to the show. Much of
the success of the club is due to
the work of W. T. McKell. county
farm demonstrator, and Miss Pearl
Carmichael, canning club agent.

Now is Time to Beware of fire.
A warning against mid-summer
j fires which easily develop into con
1 flagratfons, is issued toy the Arkan
j sas Actuarial bureau. Attention
! is called to little causes of big fires
i
by J. S. Speed, manager, at a time
when long period of hot. dry weath
er makes wooden buildings and
shingle roofs highly inflammable.
“Most fires could have been pre
vented by a little forethought and
care entirely out of proportion to
the loss and trouble resulting from
the lack of it," says the warning.
"Instead of trusting to your luck,
take the attitude that your place
will be the next to catch fire and
then take steps to see that it
doesn’t. Ordinary matches, gaso
lene and greasy rags, when not
handled with intelligent care, trash
accummulations and old or faulty
electric wires, will sooner or later
make trouble. It is impossible to
list here all the common causes of
fires which must be guarded
agianst, but any man can protect
himself, his business or his family
by devofing a few minutes each
week or each month to a personal
inspection of his premises. Inci
dentally, he should keep a watch
ful eye on his neighbor's.”
Employees to Receive Isual Pay.
Employes of the Southwestern
Telephone & Telegraph Co., who
were members of the Arkansas
National Guard when it was called
into service, will draw their regular
pay for three months from July 1
in addition to the army pay. For
the next nine months they wijl be
paid the difference between their
salaries and the amount paid to
them by the government. As there
is no probability of the men being
in service for a greater time, no
provision has been yet made for an
emergency of this character, but if
the soldiers are on duty at the ex
piration of this time, they will no
doubt be carried right along on
the same basis.
The telephone officials have also
issued a statement to the employes
in which they offer to make the
same arrangement for all who re
spond to the country's call, should
one be made for volunteers, and in
addition, that the company will en
deavor to supply trained men for
telegraph and telephone service.
Those who desire to join the state
guard may also be included in these
provisions, by consulting with the
company. The standing of the
employe in the benefit fund will not
be affected by service in the guard,
no matter where the service calls.

Wishing and Doing }=
H
Success in any undertaking cannot be had by merely
wishing for it. Success is an illusive thing, and it takes
real work and perseverance to accomplish it.
Perhaps it has been your ambition for years to have a
nice bank account nr perhaps there is some good invest
ment that you would like to make if you could get enough
money together at one time to make it.
It is a worthy ambition to wish to get ahead, and the
thing to do is to put in the real work and self-denial that
will make this come true and be a reality. Nothing can be
accomplished without some sacrifice.
The first thing to do is to get in the saving habit.
Make the start. Then by hard work and persistence add
to your account at every opportunity and soon your fond
est wishes will come true. Make the start now.
