BRADY SCHOOL BRIEFS.

We heartily enjoyed an article in the Arkansas Homestead of the 18th inst, in which the city vandal, the country school and other subjects were mentioned in a unique manner. The coun- try school may fall far short of the ideal, but when country chil- dren are sent to school five days a week there will be a great inn provement in results.

purpose. He stated that no farm could well be called com- plete without a permanent pas ture.
 The first object of the Geyer Springs Farmers Club is for se- curing agricultural information. It's members realize that while agriculture can only be learned through actual experience that the wise man is he who profits not only by his own experience, but that of his neighbors as well. For this reason the lead ing farmers of the community and the families come together every two weeks to discuss the foremost agricultural problems.
 As a sort of auxiliary to the farmers club, the boys and girls have organized a club which is given charge of the program once every few weeks. In reali- ty the farmers club has become a special center for the commu- nity. This character of organi- zation is being recommended the country over as the ideal organ ization for farming communi- ties.
 MT. Sheridan gave a talk on cotton raising. First comes the preparation of the soil. The ground should be broken early, disked and fertilizer applied. MT. Sheridan used barnyard ma- nure in preference to the con- mereial fertilizer. After the soil is in condition, plant good seed. On one-half acre MT. Sheridan made one bale last year. He used the check method of plant ing, and thinned to one plant to the hill, four feet apart each way.
 Prof. Lassetter, in his talk, said that "the farmer must be a better business man than his city neighbour That the people of truck growing and dairy neighborhoods know the value of soil fertility, and that "the se- cret of good farming depends on keeping up the fertility of the soil"

LETTER FROM PULASKI GIRL IN PARKWAY
 CHINA.

In a letter to her father, Geo. c. Pye, of Sweet Home, Mrs. Ruth Pye King, who is engaged with her husband in missionary work in the interior of China, tells of some of the difficulties of getting the family washing done in a country where laun- dering is done without soap, starch or bluing. She says:
 Last week my wash woman informed me that she had a pain in her back and knees and could not go to Wuchow with me. That meant that I would have to get brand new woman and teach her how to work for foreigners. l do not know whether you know what task that is or not. The first thing is to let them look for a day or two-there is so much that they do not know what to make of, that they are at first dumfounded." It has been anus ing to watch the old lady-she wonders at the glass in the win dowsl chairs with backs to them! all kinds of tables! all kinds of boxes! pictures on the wall! white cloth on the table, where they eat rice! Chinese do not use table cloths of any kind) and above all things a fire right in the house! Che heat er.) Besides this, things that we wear are so peculiar that she can't get at the washing fol looking at them and examining them. Then, too, we have SC many ways that seem so queer to them. This dear old soul has never used soap, starch or blu ing, and the idea of boiling white clothes is so queer. Nor has she even ever seen an iron, much less to use one on clothes. Even the washboard is queer. So you see what it means to teach a new woman. Fortunately, La Sac is going to stay a day or two till she catches on a little as to how things are done.
 When the Chinese wash, they take the clothes to some one of the many filthy ponds that dot the entire city or go outside the gates to the river. They sit down on the edge by a rock, dip the clothes in the water, lay them on the rock and then beat them with a stick. This pro- cess is repeated several times and then the things are hung over a bamboo pole and that is

GEYER SPRINGS FARMERS CLUB HAS INTEREST
 ING SESSION.

That the Geyer Springs Farm CTS Club is one of the best local farmers organizations in Ar kansas was the verdict of sev- eral visitors who attended the regular meeting on last Tuesday night. Among the visitors were Thomas w. Newton III, Secretary of the Arkansas Sweet Potato Growers Associa- tion, Green Nordin, sales agent for the Sweet Potato Growers League, County Agent Geo. C.. Pye and w. c. Lassetter, assist ant director of cooperative ex- tension work for Arkansas.
 President J. D. Jones presided at the meeting, which opened with the presentation of regular business, including roll call, reading of minutes of last meet ing and reports of standing committees. After the regular business MT. A. H. Sheridan spoke on 1.-Two Bales of Cotton per Acre" Numerous we'll di- rected questions showed that this was a topic of considerable interest.
 After the regular program the visitors were called on for talks, and MT. Newton, in responding, stated that he was not aware of the existence of an organization doing such effective work. Green Nordin, in speaking of the benefits of such an organization, stated that cooperation for the purpose of studying agricultural problems would lead to co-opera- tion in other lines, including marketing. County Agent Geo c. Pye showed a large number of slides illustrating boys and girls club work in Arkansas. A number of the prize winning boys and girls were from Pulas- kl county, and several Of the pictures thrown on the screen were of boys and girls from the Geyer Springs neighborhood, who in the past few years had been leaders in the club work.
 w. c. Lassetter, after speak ing very highly of the value of such an organization, offered a few suggestions along the line of putting business methods into farming and increasing the cash income. He especially urged the necessity of having permanent pastures, and outlined a few combinations of grasses and clo- vers especially valuable for that
