Farm Club Movement In Arkansas

Farm Club Movement In Arkansas.
Arkansas has taken up the farm club
movement in serious earnest, says the
Farm Progress. This is one of the
greatest movements in America today
and deserves to succeed. We have
heard it said that the farmer is being
"clubbed to DEATH Don't you believe
it. 1t is a fact that the vast majority
of American farmers have been nei-
Their hurt nor helped by the club move
ment, for the very good reason that
the clubs have never touched them or
their work. They have stayed out
when they might have come in.
Arkansas advocates of the club idea
are hoping that $1,000 boys and girls
will have joined the clubs in that state
by the end Of next year. There are
clubs in plenty. It is easy to organize
"corn club" if you are interested in
corn, or pig" or peanut club if
those meet your liking better. There
are "cotton clubs" too, in great num-
bers, and for the farm girls there are
tomato clubs' and "bread clubs"
"sewing clubs" and poultry clubs"
Give the boys an acre of corn ground
and a pig and the girls two sittings
of good eggs and a tenth of an acre
for tomatoes. Get into touch with the
people at the head of the club work in
you live in.

PREVENT SPREAD OF WEEDS.

Seed Readily Carried Everywhere by
the Wnd-!ncrease Amazingly.
Farmers striving to keep their lands
practically clean need a law compelling
each one to take care of the most trou-
blesome weeds. Legislation is espe-
cially needed to prevent the growing
and spreading of all weeds, the seed
Of which is readily carried every where
by the wind. This applies particular
ly to wild carrot. devils paint brush
etc. In some localities fields are prac-
tically abandoned to weeds. Pastures
often produce many noXiOus plants
and fence rows abound with brush and
weeds. If such weeds could be kept
in check when grown. only moderate
damage would be done. but if they
are not destroyed or moved off the
wind often scatters their seed widely.
In recent years in many sections
weeds have increased amazingly, and
it is now impossible for any farmer
alone to maintain clean farm. Many
good farmers do not try any longer to
keep weeds in cheek, because others
pay no attention to the matter. A law
exists in some states and is quite gen.
orally enforced. requiring all noxious
weeds along the highway to be cut
twice annually. If such a law could
be extended to the fields it would help
matters materially. although much
more stringent law is desired
Such law would make it possible
for careful farmers to raise clean seed.
both for home use and for sale to other
farmers. This in grass seed alone
| would soon result in great improve
! nent. Less weed seed would be sown.
thereby decreasing the abundant crop.
Legislation affecting the care of a
| mans farm and the crops he grows
may be difficult to enforce. but it IS
no more so than some Of the existing
| laws regarding fruit trees. etc. Such
| laws as can be rightly enforced regard
ing weeds will eventually benefit all
| farmers, making their land more at
tractiye, more productive and decided.

LIME FOR LEGUMES.

How Good Yields of Glover Have Been
Secured In New York County.
when County Agent Lacy began
work in Duchess county, N. Y, he
found the county almost destitute Of
leguminous crops,' reads recent rec
ord in the files of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. Red clover
was the only one with which the farm
ers were familiar, and they had failed
so frequently in attempting to grow it
that there was much discouragement
Repeated trials with alfalfa had met
with almost uniform failure. Protein
was purchased in the form of concen-
trates.
1.-The obvious need was home grown
protein, and to secure it cheap lime and
information in regard to growing vari-
GUS legumes were necessary. Ground
limestone was being offered for sale
in the county as high as IS a ton, but
very little was used at that price,
''The county agent discovered where
lime could be bought cheaply enough,
but the freight rates were more than
the cost of the lime. After some nego-
HationS an adjustment was secured
from the railroads so that finely pull
verified limestone could be delivered to
nearly every station in the county at
$3.50 a ton OF less,
LAS a result, good yields Of clover
have been secured this year wherever
lime has been used. The successful
growth Of clover and other legumes is
a matter of utmost Importance to the
farmers Of Duchess county"
