Edited by Thos. j. Bentley

County Agent T. j. Bentley, who
also has charge of the club work
in Greene county, has just received
the following letter from w. j..
Jernigan of Little Rock:
ut gives me pleasure to announce
that definite arrangements have
been made for the free entertain
ment of the prize winning boys and
girls in the different clubs in the
state, at a weeks short course at
the college of agriculture at Fay
etteville, Arkansas, during the
month of November, beginning pos
sibly the 18th. The boys and girls
who were entitled to go last Jan
nary will go this time, and in ad-
dition the first prize winner from
each club in your county will be
entitled to go; that is to say if
you have corn clubs, pig clubs and
peanut clubs, three new boys will
be entitled to go from your coun-
or two members a club. If you
have canning clubs and poultry
clubs, two girls will be entitled to
go from your county in addition to
those already selected last year
You will decide at your county fair,
or county contest, who the first
prize winners are. Therefore, if
you have not already published your
premium list. or even if you have
published it, announce again that
the first prize winner in each club
will be entitled to this free trip.
Il presume that the railroads will
continue their offer of free trans
portation TO the club members, and
the boys and girls will be enter
tanned as guests in the homes of
the people of Fayetteville. Hence

w. T. Stedman is always on the
lookout for something new to i'm
prove farm operations. On his re-
cent trip through Kansas he pick
ed up, among other ideas, the fol-
lowing on saving peahay: Since
harvest time for pea hay is now
here, and it very frequently is dam
aged by rain, it will pay us to
study Mr.. Stedman's plan:
Go into the woods and cut four
good strong posts say 20 feet long.
Make foundation for your stack
from old rails or poles At each
corner of the foundation, dig a hole
and set up the posts. Brace them
to make steady. Put poles across
top to support tackle block.
Make peak top roof of light ma
terial just large enough to move
freely up and down inside of posts
Attack strong ring to peak of roof
to fasten tackle block. When first
load of hay is ready to put into
stack. raise roof by means of tackle

Most of last week was spent in
the Cache valley country. Almost
without exception the crops are
fine. In fact, we have not seen
anywhere in the county finer corn,
wheat, oats, sorghum, COW peas,
sunflowers, cantaloupes, fruit, clo-
yer etc, than have been grown this
summer on the farms from Light
up the Cache valley to Hooker.
Part of one afternoon was spent
on the farms of w. A. Arnold
and w. w. Newberry, south Of
Light Jake was very modest in
his claims for being able to raise
such fine crops of corn, sorghum,
Kaffir and peanuts. He says the
Lord and the soil did most of it.
Going north through Beech Grove
on to Hooker, field after field of
corn was seen all looking to be the
best.
Our old friend p. H. carp has
more sunflowers than anyone else
we saw.
Mr.. Sousette threshed % bushels
of wheat per acre.
Mr.. Dawler threshed IS bushels
of oats per acre.
Some time was spent looking
over the crops of Lee Akers. Fine
COW peas were growing where a
heavy crop of oats had already been
harvested this year. But Mr..
Akers' ability to farm shines most
as a corn raiser. He has 40 acres
of Tennessee White Dent that GER
tainly will equal anything in the
county. Almost every stalk has
two big ears, and a large number
have more. 1t is not uncommon to
see four ears on one stalk. 1t
looks good for rs bushels per acre
We did not ask if he is willing, like
Uncle Jake, to divide honors; but
he admitted that his corn missed
one blowing entirely on account OF
too much rain the first of May.
Most farmers in the Cache valley
country have torn down their cot
ton pens and built instead big,
bright shiny straw stacks, The
proof can be found at Chas. Hook
er's, Bishop Bros and others.
The land west of Crowleys
Ridge has the fertility to make
fine crops of almost anything. All
the farmer has to do is 20 plant
the seed and tickle the soil little
and great crops leap forth like
magic.
John Spain is another one of
the King Bee corn raisers. Look
ing west from his home, over the
great fields and farms, one cannot
keep from wondering how it will be
possible to gather and house the
wealth that is now beginning to
mature.
Six months ago our people were
wondering how it would be pos
sible for them TO get feed for their
teams to eat while making a crop.
Now they are wondering what they
can do with the abundance of
grain and forage that will be to
store this summer and fall.

Good Literature" to the classification
OF books in the libraries of today.
There are certain rules which govern
classification in public libraries and
under these rules many books are
classed as fiction when their real in.
ferest lies in. the manner IN which
they present facts about some certain
subjects which are either interspersedl
or connected by q thread Of story
the story is not the main feature, but
MS presence classifies the book as'
fiction. Take, for insrance, the del
lightful books of Gene Stratton Porter.
which portray the phases OF bird and
moth life in the great Limberlost.'
The story in most of her books Is sub
sergient to the nature interest but
since there is q story, her works are
elassed Us fiction. Then there are
the travel stories of the Wnliansons.
The story In each of them is of the
highest style Of fiction, but the read
er of set in Silver" or Heather
Moon, who follows up the many quo
tations and references, and reads the
books mentioned, will have: better
idea OF English and Scottish history.
The same is true of their books on
continental journeysan and yet the
reader who skins through them for
the purpose of merely getting the
story or for criticism will miss the
real interest; but that can not be set
down ass fault against the book. Mrs.
