Good roads, good schools and good churches makes good citi- zenship. and that is what every community desires. This com munity has shown unlimited in- terest in the good roads move meht, and many of our citizens lave dug deep in their pockets to finance the building of one of the best roads in White county, that between Judsonia and Bald Knob. Another road running along side the levy from here to west Point is also being opened and put in shape through the efforts of Jud sonia citizens, thereby making it possible for residents in that sec tions to market their products more satisfactorily, and to get in and out of town the year round which has been impossible here to-fore. And we are sure Judsonia is ready to do her part on the road to Searcy, if Searcy will show a little interest. Last year business men of this town left their business three days to put that road in decent condition to be travelled over during the coun- ty fair. If Searcy wants county fair this year, and wants the CO., operation of the people on this side of the river. she might as well begin giving this road prop osition a little thought and action
 As far as better schools are concerned, .Iudsonia is fast walk ing up. With a new building and better grading and a corps of pro ficient teachers, the outlook is most encouraging.
 Ana as for good church advan- tages, we have always had better than the average town of this size, we only need to take more interest in the splendid advan- tagee we already have, and of course the churches can be made better. Let us have more con- munity pride, it is the making of a TOWN.

Second Groa of Pofatnee-

To grow q second crop of Irish po- tatoe8 to be used for winter uses is a perplfEtng problem for the farmer. Keeping the first crop over for winter use is almost impossible and it is q choice of buying the winter supply or growing the second crop.
 The greatest difficulty in planting the first crop seed is in getting q stand. The new potatoes will not ger. minate readily, and if planted only Q small percentage will grow
 Some growers overcome this diff. culty by placing the seed potatoes. as soon as they are dug, in a moist. fairly cool place such as in a shallow trench in the shade of a tree Or by cutting in halves, spreading on the ground and covering with pine needles kept moist They are then watched. and as they show signs of sprouting are planted in deep furrows, covering lightly at first, working the soil to them as they grow until level. Then cultivate shallow and level. Some va. rieties make better second crop than others, among which are Early Rose. Bliss Triumph, Irish Cobbler and Peerless, Plant in soil where the mois- ture has been retained.

KlIIs RaspberrY Canes.

The disease known as raspberry an- thracnose causes small dead spots CD the canes and kills fruiting clusters. Sometimes so many Of the dead spots occur that the entire cane Is killed. This disease is spread by unciean nur- sery stock or may come from wild plants into a plantation The com monest source of it, however, is nur. sery stock. Under favorable weather conditions and on some soils especial ly, it may destroy years fruit crop, and destroy the prospect for next years crop at the same time.
 It may be only imperfectly controll- cd by spraying. It is safest to plant ouly clean stock and to destroy an old diseased patch rather than fight the disease.

ALFALFA AT PROFIT
 ON ARKAHSAS FARM
Farmer Tells How He Experimented With This Forage Crop to Get Good Yield.

It was on a hill farm in Washington County. The first cutting came off May 15, and yielded a little more than 8 ton to the acre The second cut ting was ready the second week of June and yielded even better The third growth was cut July 10 with as large a crop as before. And the field continues to grow, and with hay sell, ing at SIS a ton.
 In giving his reasons for his sue cess with alfalfa the owner of the farm made the following statement:
 T first tried alfalfa in 1912 and fol- lowing the advice Of neishbors, l worked my soil up is good shape and seeded in the spring. got a good stand. but later in the season the plants turned yellow and finally the weeds took the crop"
 'I was strongly impressed with the possibilities of the alfalfa crop and began reading alfalfa literature in farm papers. To grow alfalfa success- fully found, one must have a rich well drained. well lined soil Inocu- lation was recommended where neither alfalfa nor sweet clover had ever been grown. Alfalfa growers all advised that field to be seeded to al falfa should be given special attention to lower the risk from weeds"
 "The field which 1 aimed to put into alfalfa consisted of three acres Of fair upland with good drainage In the spring of 1913 I fertilized with barn yard manure at the rate Of 12 tons to the acre and planted to cowpeas. This crop served as Q smother crop to clear fhe land Of weeds I turned these un- der to good depth about August B. cutting up the vines with q disc hor- rev before doing so Later ! applied air.slaked lime at the rate of f.0aQ pounds to the acre. Late in the after noon Of the day before seeding I dis tributed soil from an old alfalfa field over the field to be planted at the rate of four CT five hundred pounds to the acre, and followed with q spike tooth harrow. This plan avoided the exposure of nitrogen fixing bacteria to the direct rays of the sur.
 The seed was soWn broadcast upcn the well-frmea seed bed. \ good growth was made in the fall which was allowed to remain for winter pro tection No great difficulty was ex. peTienced the following season with weeds and fonf fairly good crops were taken off the field

The Rottinn of Pea.t,es

There is much trouble from Brown rot of peaches this season, and it is possible by prompt action to save a part of this damage by spraying the crop with selfboiled lime sulphur or with sulphur paste. The self-boiled lime sulphur IS perfectly safe if made strictly according to the directions given in Bulletin t14 of the Arkansas Experiment Station. If cooked too long 1t may injure the foliage of the tree and thereby endanger the crop. TEe sulphur paste can be bought in this st'ate under the name of atomic sulphur. There is an agency at Rog- CTS, Ark.
