The Clover And Grass Cam
paign.
One hundren fourteen regular
extension workers in Arkansas
are enlisted in the campaign for
more clovers and grasses in the
state. Over five hundred bankers
and thousands of other business
men are urging farmers to in
crease their clover and grass
acreage. A thousand country
teachers in rural summer schools
are being provided with “les
sons” and bulletins on clovers.
Three hundred patroitic editors
of newspapers are opening their
column for articles and letters
about clovers and grasses, es
pecially letters about local suc
cesses. Remember that clovers,
unlike other crops, will pay a
profit if neither cut or pastured.
Let every farmer get into the
game and plant from five to one
hundred acres of one or more
clovers. Let every farmer re
solve to have from three acres to
one hundred acres of Bermuda
or Orchard grass with two or
three clovers added. See the
county agent and tell him you
want to join the “Clover Bri
gade” and get bulletins and sug
gestions. If no county agent,
see the local banker for bulletins
or write the Extension Division,
College of Agriculture and U. S.
Department of Agriculture, Fay
etteville or Little Rock, for bulle
tins on Red Clover, Crimson
Clover, Bur Clover, Japan Clover
or Bermuda.

We believe the 4th celebration
which was contemplated has been
abandoned for the want of some
one to push it. Some of us can
get together and have a fish-fry
on the Bayou with ice cream and
lemonade for extras. What say
you, friends and neighbors?

attended and greatly enjoyed.
Music was furnished by John
Dehart and Roy Baum. Among

Canning Demonstration.
Miss Emma Archer, assistant
state farm demonstrator, with
the assistance of Miss Ruth An
derson and Mr. R. H. Abbey,
county demonstrators, gave an
exhibition of their work at the
beautiful country home of W. E.
Jelks Thursday morning. About
fifty people were present, among
them being several members of
the local canning club.
The girls helped in the work
while Miss Archer directed. Mrs.
Jelks had several gallons of green
beans picked and carried to the
lawn where the demonstrations
were held and where the girls
prepared and canned them. The
occasion afforded much pleasure
and profit to all who were fortu
nate enough to attend.
The girls are much interested
in their work and report their
tomatoes in fine condition. Some
few are beginning to ripen. We
are anticipating a fair in the fall
when we can see what our girls
have accomplished.
Card of Thanks.
To the many neighbors and
friends who extended their ser
vices and sympathies during our
recent bereavement in the loss
of our loved one, and especially
to those who contributed the
many and beautiful floral offer
ings, we wish to extend our
heartfelt thanks. Our thoughts
will always be of those who com
forted us at this time.
