PRODUCING bee keeping as one of the
practical arts in his industrial school.
Still another comes from Govern
ment expert engaged in demonstra-
tiOn work for Southern farmers. He
says he is piled with numerous Ques-
tions about bee keeping and he
wants to know where he can get
more information on the subject.
Now few words about CORE
spondence. am glad to get all the
letters you will write, because it
shows interest. but if you will pre-
serve all the numbers of the paper
containing our articles it will often
save both you and me trouble, by re-
ferring to them for your answers in
stead of writing. l am trying to
give, from time, the fundamental
principles that will cover most of the
ground and many correspondents re-
peat questions that have already
been answered in these columns. We
can't, of course, afford to print the
same answer over and over again.
AS l said before. every bee keeper
should have good manual or bee
keepers guide. In this he will find
answers at once for most of his ques-
tions by running over the table of
contents. If one is not willing to de-
vote some time to the task of study
ing up the subject. it is scarcely
worth while for him to attempt to
become bee keeper in the modern
sense of the term.
Don't understand that there is any
great difficulty in the art, for there
is not. 1t is a delightful and highly
intellectual work. and suited to both
sexes and all classes of society. Both
the young and the old find interest
and profit in it. Modern bee keep
ing should become special feature
on all our Southern farms.

each offer six-weeks' summer term

arranged that the teachers attending
may receive credits for their work at

Farmers Institutes, Boys Clubs, and
School Improvement Associations.
The local farmers institutes, con-
Quoted by the College Of Agricul-
ture, have proved directly profitable
TO the farmers or the State and have
done much to popularize agricultural
education and to give wider appre-
citation OF the practical value of such
training.
Boys corn clubs were organized
in thirty-one counties last year, with
over 5000 boys enrolled. The first
State contest was held at the State
Fair with very creditable showing
Of exhibits.
The work is being advanced this
year by the State committee with the
assistance of Mr.. II. S. Mobley, who
has been placed in Arkansas as an
organizer of boys corn clubs and
school extension work by the U. s.
Department OF Agriculture.
Organizations will be effected in
every county in the State and an en-

for 1910 with a contest in every
county and State contest with con-
gressional district prize lists as well
as Statewide prizes.

endorsement Of patrons and teachers.

BITTER FIGHT FOR

contest for the speakership of the

toned for the speakership, but who
was understood to have withdrawn in
favor of Mcdowell insists that If
there Is TO be contest he will re-
enter the race w. c. Whaley. Of
