A GIoDer Campaign

\ great clover and grass cam paign Will be started immediafplV uy the forces of the Extension Di- Nlslon Of the University of Arkan- sas and the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. We have felt tAat the fertility of the soils of Ar hansas has been wasted too rapidly to delay making a vigorous cam naign for permanent pastures thru Ult the state, says Dean J Il. Miller of the Extension Service. The sur iate sOll in great many sections ot our state has been wasted until there are thousands of acres that are practically barren at this time
 yet there are great areas which can be saved if we put them down to grass very soon. Some of the best grasses for our state are found among the cl0Vers. These not only yield a great quantity of food pas tures for every kind of live stock, but they add much fertility to the soil. One of the best clovers we have is the bur clover and his is a wonderful plant It may be seeded in cotton at or after the last culti- yation or in the open. It will make a good pasture this winter and may be plowed under about the last of April and the ground planted to cotton By September the clover will cover the ground again for an other pasture. Red clover will do well on almost any farm in Arkan- sas and may be seeded in the fall or in the spring. White clover
 makes a rich pasture and Japan Clover, or lespedeza, grows every
 where and is fine pasture and a most excellent hay crop. Crimson clover will grow in most soils altho on many farms the soil will need in0culation. It should be tried out in a small way first. It may be seeded in cotton al the last cultiya- ton at the rate of i5 pounds per acre. Every farmer in Arkansas is urged to get Ion the Glover Wagon and be able to say on or before Oc-
 tober that he has seeded from five to one hundred acres of clover.
 The Glover family is an aristo- cratic family. probably the most beautiful plant family known in Arkansas and yet the most demo- cratic, as if will come almost for the asking and 1t blesses both the farm owner and the passer by.

for in our country. The universities throughout the land prepare persons for law. the ministry, medicine, teach. ing or for whatever else one needs. It is said that America has as good universities as has any country.
 The most important occupation of great majority of the women of our country is home making. yet up to a few years ago there was little if any thing done looking directly to this work Of the children that die an amazingly large per cent die before they reach the end of their first year. These deaths are preyentable in .nany case2 If almost all women are to be mistresses of homes sooner or later. and if they are to have the care of children they most certainly should have some sort of direct preparation for this work. Most model house. wives" are very wasteful. Many of these things could be corrected by means of good course in Home Eco. nemics. It seems that if the kitchen is to be made place where drudgery is not, something of the scientific and artistic side of cooking must be em- phasized. Sewing, of course, is need ed for while clothes do not make the man they certainly improve him in many ways. It is said that if you take dirty "down-and-out" and dress him in respectable clothes he will act quite differently. Then again in sew ing as in cooking, when the aim Is work of art drudgery is to a large ex. tent lost. The home is the consumer. the ultimate consumer. Whatever en- ters the home is directly concerned with the woman Is the food pure which she feeds her baby? Is the milk full of bacteria? Has the water been thoroughly cared for? These are some of the questions that the mother Is asking If she is concerned about these things how vitaliy is her life bound up with the life of the commun- ityl again. the woman does most of the purchasing for the household. And how necessary it is that she know something about textiles, about pur- chasing. about supply and demand. and about all those things which de termine the purchasing power of aI dollar.
