DOUBLED EFFORTS
ON FARM URGED
FAST WORK is NECESSARY
HARROWS AND CULTIVATORS
SHOULD BE USED, SAYS DEM
ONSTRATION AGENT.

Farm demonstrators are urged IN
a circular just issued by Field Agent
w. B. MERCER to redouble their eff
forts on account of the late start this
year and endeavor to make up for
poor preparation by thorough cult
walton. The use of harrows and Gull
tivators is strongly advised as time
saver. Mr.. Merciers circular fol-
lows:
The unusually wet winter and
spring interfered with the blowing
and the best preparation of an ideal
seed bed for all crops. For this rea-
son it will be necessary to redouble
efforts to give the crops the very best
cultivation in order to overcome some
of the disadvantages resulting from
any lack of preparation.
The harrow or weeder should be
used on the seed bed before the seed
comes up and again after coming up,
This will prevent any crust and the
termination of an early crop of weeds
and grass, which always proves most
troublesome in cleaning the crop.
If the ground has become packed
from hard rains, as will be the case
in many places, the first blowing or
cultivation may be rather deep, but
all the later cultivation should be
shallow. Rows on uplands should be
fiat, the idea being to allow as nearly

COME NEXT WEEK

Both the Log Cabin Democrat and
the Arkansas Farmer have been in
structed by Secretary of State Sarle
w. Hodges to publish the measures
referred to the voters next Septem-
Der under the initiative and referen-
duff amendment, and the first publ
lation of the proposed laws will ap-
pear next week. The bills make a to-
tai of % columns of nonpariel type
and four-page supplement will be
required to carry them. The Turner
jacobson bill occupies 16 IL columns
of this amount, and if it were not for
the reference of this exceptionally
long measure, the cost of publishing
the bills initiated by the people would
be very slight. Besides the TT. bill,
the statewide prohibition bill, the
election bill and the textbook COM
mission bill, and three constitutional
observation-disclosures session, recall
and municipal bond-have been mi
tiated by the voters.

AS a rule the beginner starts in the
poultry business with great enthusi-

details and he gives the best Of atten-

cases. the enthusiasm wears of and
he becomes neglectful. then he fails.
If, on the other hand, he does not
become discouraged. but keeps up his
faithful work, he succeeds. The plant

Two important articles are neces-

BY pegglng away 1t is soon discovered.
that only dark cloud had appeared.
But 1t is at these times that the
faint-hearted begin to reason that the
days for success in this line" are
gone by.
When a man gets to that state of
mind that he cannot see silver lin
ing In the cloud, he is ready to accept
the first offer to sell out. In the
majority Of cases he makes his losses
all the greater by selling out below
cost.
The writer has seen days when
there was hardly a cent Of income,
when he had to go into debt to buy
feed and pay other expenses, and days,
too, when he couldn't even see pros
pect of some business for long time
to come.
But he stuck to the work, and when
the first money came In, 1t was soon
followed by other money, and in time
the debts were paid. and ever since
there has been more or less regularity
Of income.
During those trying times, when it
seemed almost impossible to keep the
wolf from the door, the writer would
meet men in other walks Of life with
the big rolls Of bills In their pockets.
with flourishing occupations, but
nevertheless. lie held on, never losing
an opportunity Of making a turn for
the good.
He was rewarded. Some of those
men with the big rolls Of banknotes
were not satisfied; they wanted to
make more money, wanted to grow

So the beginner must not forget
that he who sticks to his work is the
one who will finally come out on the
right side. Trials are often angels in
disguise.
The beginner must know that his
fowls deserve and must have the best
Of care. He must keep a close watch
as to conditions. must provide com.
fort, cleanliness and plenty of room.
Likewise he must study the appetstes
Of his flock.

ment. No duty is rightly performed
that is done in a mechanical manner.
The beginner must stop and think.
He must notice the little matters. He
must never assume more work than
he can accurately perform. He must
never overestimate his capacity, and
he must never rush to get done.
Haste makes waste. Map out a
plan, and then work by It. Scrub
treatment will bring scrub results.
The lack Of good business sense has
been the cause Of more failures than
has anything else. A man never
shirks his duty when he Is in dead
