Better Tanning Hints
BY W. C. LASSETER
SWAT THE FLIES BEFORE
THEY HATjCH
Flies are not only a nuisance
but they are a danger to health
since it has been proven that
they carry filth and germs on
their feet and scatter diseases
among our people everywhere.
Why not swat the fly before it
hatches? This is easily done
because flies breed in vegetable
and animal waste and if we
treat the manure piles on the
place or spread them over the
fields for fertilizer before the
eggs hatch we will destroy the
flies at the same time. This is
also true of all garbage and de
caying vegetable matter. Fly
campaigns are good things but
they do very little to extermi
nate the fly. If we arc to ma
terially reduce his numbers we
must do so while he is in the
egg stage. Destroy the breed
ing places now and you will
i not be troubled with flies later
[ m in the season.
HAVE YOUR BOYS AND
GIRLS JOIN A CLUB
If you want your boys and
girls to stay with you on the
farm, one of the best ways to
accomplish your purpose is to
interest them in farm life. Re
member, “all work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy” and
unless he finds enjoyment in
his work he will become dis
satisfied and leave the farm.
jOne of the best ways to create
'interest in the farm and know
why and where for everything
| he does in his daily work. The
wide-awake American boy is
: not a machine. You cannot
hnake him such. The best thing
| to do is to give him an oppor
! tunity to learn. He will enjoy
(knowing more about things he
! comes in contact with daily.
! Once you arouse his interest he
'will be more satisfied. Make a
partner of hm and let him have
some of the profits for his
work. Now is the time to get
into boys’ and girls’clubs.Write
to W. J. Jernigan, Old State
House, Little Rock, for parti
culars.
STOCK GROWERS SWAT
THE SCRUBS
At the Stock Growers’ Meet
ing in Little Rock the Associa
tion passed a resolution not to
permit any unregistered cattle
to be sold at the Livestock
Growers’ Sale this year or at
any of the future sales or any
sale held in connection with
meetings of the Association.
This has sounded the death
knell of the scrub in Arkansas.
This is the result of the fact
that Arkansas farmers have
come to realize that only good
live stock will yield large pro
l fits. Every farmer cannot have
pure bred cattle but he should
i have a good sire to grade up
;; the cattle which he does have.
The old saying that “a sire is
half the herd” has long been
proven.Now is the time to swat
the scrub sire.Permit only pure
bred males on your farm. Cat
tle and hogs with good blood
strains will give you more in
return for your time and labor
than a scrub. ,
MAKE THE HENSPAY
THE BILLS
A goodly flock of good hens
is an absolute necessity in any
rational farming system for the
South. Rightly managed, chick
ens not only furnish wholesome
meat and eggs for home con
sumption, but a surplusforpay
ing the grocery bills as well.
We do not advise, for the av
erage farmer, poultry-raising
on a large scale; but we do
hold that from 50 to 100 pro
ducing hens should be found
on every farm of average size
in the South. In fact, on most
farms there are enough waste
materials ti keep this number
of hens without any more than
a very nominal expense for ad
ditional feeds.
Livestock raising in connec
tion with general farming is
essential to the maintenance of
soil fertility. The animals con
sume the feed, transform it in
to beef, pork, mutton, milk,
butterfat, etc., suitable for hu
man food and the waste mat
ter voided as manure is return
ed to enrich the soil. In this
way the minimum amount of
fertility is lost and the maxi
mum yield of food products ob
tained.
Whether a large farm is
more profitable than a small
farm depends upon several fac
tors, the most important of
which is the manager of the
farm. Some men have business
ability sufficient to manage a
large enterprise, some can suc
ceed with small undertakings
and still others fail with every
thing they undertake.
Peanuts are excellent for
swine, and those who have
thin, sandy iand should not fail
to plant peanuts for their ani
mals. Black land that is mel
low will also produce fine pea
nuts. In fact, peanuts will grow
on many different types of soil.
More berries should be plant
ed to supply our homes with
tresh fruits. The Southwest is
the home of blackberries, dew
berries and strawberries, and
those who have suitable ground
should make use of this favor
able situation.
This is the season for trans
planting shade and fruit trees
and ornamental plants to beau
tify the home grounds. Every
home should be hedged in by
trees, shrubs and flowers.
There is no better way of mak
ing the home attractive.

RESCUES 3 CHILDREN
FROM BURNING HOUSE
The residence of Grover
Helm, near Salado, was de
stroyed by fire one day last
week. When the fire started
there was no one at homo ex
cept three small children and
they were rescued by James
Talley, a neighbor, who discov
ered the fire. The three child
ren were huddled together in
one room of the burning build
ing and probably would have
perished in the flames but for
the timely arrival of Mr. Tal
ley.
The building and entire con
tents were a total loss, as Mr.
Helms had no insurance.
