the school children and farm children of Arkansas by the International Harvester company of New Jersey and thousands upon thousands of copies of which are now being dis tributed to the children, boys and girls, in all sections of the state.
 It is perhaps the first time that the children of any state have been so complimented, it being universally ad- mitted that it is a great compliment to any children to have the experts infer, by words and action, that through the. children the state is to De made independent of all outside sources of food supplies.
 The pamphlet is in itself one of the most valuable of books for the city man or the farmer of the state of Arkansas, because of the simple, di- rect language used in giving the in- formation most generally needed in raising poultry, hogs. cattle, the home garden .and the farm crops. The city man. through the pamphlet, learns what, when and how to plant The farmer learns of soil preparation and conservation, rotation of crops, and things of equal value. How to raise poultry, hogs and cattle for the best results is told in such manner that anybody can understand it at once.
 Many thousand copies of the pamph- let have already been issued, and all the federal, state and county farm demonstration agents and canning, club agents are supplied with copies)| for further distribution. Every ch'/ in the state, it is hoped, will have his or her copy before the end of the month, and it is also hoped that every member of every family will read the pamphlet, and profit by the advice given therein.

 The Home Garden.
 The pamphlet lays much stress on the value of the home garden, in town and country, and especially in the rural sections. In this connection, the following table. reprinted from the pamphlet, will be interesting and instructive, in that it shows what to plant and when, in Arkansas home gardens, that the grocery bill might be reduced wonderfully.
