WILL START BOYS
IN HOG BUSINESS
Thos. J, Bentley Secures Cooper
alton of Local Bankers in the
Boys Pig Club.

Last fall E. n. Hopkins, editor
of the Arkansas Fruits and Farms,
a splendid agricultural publication
at Fort Smith, conceived the idea
of organizing pig and poultry clubs
in Arkansas, the pig clubs for the
boys and the poultry clubs for the
girls. His plan was for business
men, commercial organizations and
bankers to advance a loan OF five
dollars to any worthy boy or girl
for the purpose of purchasing the
initial stock of pigs or poultry,
the loan to be paid out of the sale
of the increase of the original stock.
At the time this idea was con-
ceived the profitable farming cam
paign was we'll under way in this
state. Mr.. Hopkins presented his
plan to Perry G. Holden, the great
corn expert, and other members of
the diversified farming crew and
without exception they heartily en-
dorsed it. The matter was then
presented to the government agri-
cultural department at Washington
and Bradford Knapp, head of the
demonstration work, and others
connected with the agricultural de-
partment were so favorably i'm
pressed with the idea that they de-
cided to work with Mr.. Hopkins in
pushing the plan.
Of in,
Arkansas have already been covered
ty Mr.. Hopkins and hundreds of
pig and poultry clubs have been
organized. The plan provides that
the parent must sign the contract
with the boy or girl, waving all
claim or interest in the boys or
girls stock, and the boys and
girls enter into a contract with the
party making the loan to carry out
the plan make reports, etc, giving
a promissory note for the loan at
six per cent interest for one year
same to be repaid from the sale
of original stock or increase. Full
instructions, with all necessary
blanks are supplied to the boys and
girls and they are required to faith
fully comply with all the conditions
Thos. j. Bentley. farm demon
strator for Greene county. has been
active in promoting this plan here
At present he is working on a pig
club for boys. He called at this
office Saturday and said he had
talked with some of the bankers of
Paragould and had made arrange
ments to secure five dollar loans
for one hundred boys and will at
once begin choosing the boys for
recommendation to the bankers for
loans. He requests that any boy in
Greene county who desires to join
the club, borrow five dollars on one
years time at six per cent interest
for the purpose of investing the
amount in pure bred hog, COM
municate with him at once Mr..
Bentley will send full instructions
or see the boy personally and will
recommend the loan if the boy
shows a disposition to enter into
the work with the proper spirit.
