MORE MONEY CROPS.
One of the great needs in Arkan
sas is an increase in the number cl
money crops or in the sources ci
money incomes. The farmer win
depends on one crop is a gamble
and is usually pocr. To diversify
too much is a mistake because it
leads to an unbalanced labor cond -
tion. But the farmer with frcm
50 to 100 acres can well afford tc
consider the bush fruits, blackber
ries, dewberries, rasberries, goose
berries and grapes, as small crop
to bring in cash during the sum
mer. Then the poultry on every
farm in Arkansas should provide
for much food and for much of thr
grocery bill. Every farmer shoulc
grow potatoes for his own tabL for
twelve months and some to sell.
The Director Extension Division
University of Arkansas and U. S.
Department of Agriculture, Fay
etteville or Little Rod , is deeply
interested in the problem of more
money income for the average
farmer. He wants fat tri
ers and their wives to write him
about these problems.
DON T FORGET CLOVERS.
“Clover on Every Arkansas
Farm" is to be the slogan of the
Extendion Division and U. S. De
partment of Agriculture and of all
progressive farmers and business
men in the state. Let everybody
talk clover and everybody sow clo
ver and everybody dream about
beautiful clover fields for this win
ter and next spring. Don't sow too
early; get a good seed bed. Inocu
late. Sow clover in small fields
and sow wheat, rye or oats on oth
er fields and thus have growing
crops all winter for pasture or for
plowing under next spring and thus
makes richer land.
SAVE YOUR OWN SEED.
Following the big campaign now
on for more clovers and cover
crops the Extension Division and
U. S. Department of Agriculture
will start early n September a
state-wide campaign for ‘ Field
Seed Selection.’’ C'r u ars ore
being written on "Selecting Seed
Corn,” "Selecting Cotton Seed"
and these will be distributed by
county agents, bankers, county
judges and others. It is earnestly
hoped that at least one hundred
progressive farmers can be found
in each county to go in>o their
fields and select their seed corn
and cotton seed according to sug
gestions given by the county agent
and others of the Extension Serv
ice. The circulars will be ready by
September 10. But now every
patriotic Arkansas farmer must be
planning for his acre or five or ten
acres of clover and for his other
winter cover crops of wheat or rye
or oats. There are five great reas
ons for sowing clovers and other
cover crops. Name them.
STEPS FOR WHEAT CULTURE.
Ground for wheat should be
plowed before the middle i f
August, preferably as early as
July 15 and not later than August
15, if possible to get it done before
that time. Plowing before this
date should be six to eight inches
deep, but later plowing it will be
better to plow only four inches
deep. Wheat ground should be
disced before plowing, if possible.
Seed bed must be well prepared.
It will pay to clean seed wheat in a
fanning mill and sow only plump
and sound grains and sow only five
pecks per acre. If wheat has
smut, it should be treated with for
maldehyde. See county agent for
directions.
CUT WEEDS NOW.
August is a good time for weed
cutting. Weeds cost Arkansas
farmers more in moisture' and soil
fertility than all the public school
system, country schools, agricul
tural schools, agricultural college
normal school and the university
combined. Cut weeds. Do not
allow them to seed. Run the
nower over the pastures. Cut the
weeds along the roads, fences and
ditches. August is the month, too.
for cutting the sprouts about the
stumps. T he farmer is hardly a
patriotic citizen who will not cut
weeds this month, eyen if it is hot.

There is more Catarrh In this section
of the country than ail other diseases
put together, and for years it was sup
posed to be incurable. Doctors pre
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Catarrh is a
local disease, greatly influenced by con
stitutional conditions and therefore re
quires constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo. Ohio, is a consti
tutional remedy, is taken internally
and acts thru the Hlood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System. One Hundred
Dollars reward is offered for any case
that Hall's Catarrh Cure fails to cure.

Clean Hands.
Disease germs lead a hand to
mouth existence. If the human
race would learn to keep the un
washed hands away from the
mouth many human diseases would
be greatly diminished. We handle
infectious matter more or less con
stantly and we continually carry
the hands to the mouth. If the
hand has recently been in contact
with infectious matter the germs
of disease may in this way be in
troduced into the body. Many
persons w it their fingers with
saliva before counting money, turn
ing the pages of a book or perform
ing similiar acts. In this case the
process is reversed, the infection
being carried-to the object handled
there to await carriage to the
mouth of some other careless per
son. In view of these facts the U.
S. Public Health Service has for
mulated the following simple rules
of personal hygiene and recom
mends their adoption by every per
son in tne United States:
Wash the Hands Immediately—
Before eating.
Before handling, preparing or
serving food,
After using the toilet.
After attending the sick and
After handling anything dirty.

Don't Want Saloons
Little Rock merchants did not
sign the petition for the repeal of
the state-wide prohibition act. Six
months of prohibition has demon
strated that it is the greatest eco
nomic force that could be intro
duced among the people. The big
merchants of the city who former
ly contended that it would kill the
town to take away the saloons, are
now the ardent supporters of the
prohibitory laws. Trade is better,
collections are better and old ac
counts are paid up. The Ohio law,
with its supposed rigij restrictions,
does not appeal to them a; a sub
stitute for a law that has demon
strated its efficiency. ''We do not
want the saloon again,” is the tes
timony of the Little Rock business

said a listener, "and he t> !is me

"Wall, it ain't my fault." said the
Sage hastily. "The thing’ll set me

to go an'buy it. She would'nt care

A Mistaken Idea
Some people have the idea that a bank is only for the
convenience of the rich and well-to-do. This is a great
mistake, for while the bank is a convenience to the man of
ample means, it is a NECESSITY to the man of limited
means who most handle his funds with greater care and
who is more liable to need financial aid.
Recently a man remarked that he had $25 that he
would like to deposit, but he supposed we would not want
to be troubled with so small an amount. No deposit is so
smali but what it be appreciated by us and as carefully
lookek after as those of greater amounts.
We often hear the remark from parties that they must
use their money and so cannot deposit it. No account is
more desirable to us than that of the man who must use his
money, for he gives his checks to his friends and neighbors
this causes them to come to our bank and in this way he
sends us many new accounts. We will appreciate your
account. ->

Everybody knows that mileage is the
Supreme Test of an Automobile Tire. For
the same reason the Supreme Test of “Saw
Test" "Is Yearage."
There you have the reason for its tre
mendous popularity. As a rule people know
furniture when they use it The outside ap
pearance is not always indicative of inside
worth. The only exception to this rule that
we know of is the "Saw Test." Because
everyone who has used it wi'l tell you that
it is every bit as good as it looks. You
don't buy "Saw Test" Furniture on faith.
No siree! You buy it with the positive cer
tainty that it will look up to its appearance
as long as it lasts. That will be for sever
al generations.
