IMPROVED METHODS
OF SOIL. TILLING
(By Clio Harner)


Little Rock. June 2.-Thc Growth
of the agricultural club work in the
state is one of the most striking
phases of the New Agriculture in Ar
kansas. 1t is an index to the improv-
ed methods that are more and more
becoming the rule among tillers of
the soil in this state. The govern
ment has placed experts at the head
of the various department of this
work. and they have won the con-
fidence and cooperation of Arkansas
farmers to an extent that was not
considered possible ten years ago.
Having demonstrated their ability to
help the farmers. they are now ac-
cepted as one of the most important
factors in the development OF Arkan-
sas farming interests.
There are 113 employees in the var
ious branches OF the work in the
state, all operating under the direc-
ton of the agricultural extension SER
vice of The state university.
1t is encouraging TO note that boys
corn clubs have been organized in
60 counties, with total membership
of 300. There are pig clubs in
fifty counties. with 1000 members.
There are 600 boys enrolled in the
cotton and peanut clubs.
There are girls canning clubs in "a
counties, with $500 members. There
are 800 enrolled in the poultry clubs.
and about LOO in the home demon
stration work.
This makes total of about 5000
boys and girls enlisted in the cause
of improved agricultural methods,
compared with only $500 last year.
There are also about a thousand ne
gro boys and girls organized in clubs
This rapidly increasing army of
young men and women brought up
under expert instruction will soon
dominate the agricultural interests of
the state, taken together with the
graduates OF the four agricultural
schools, and the thousands who &are
every year taking the summer courses
