Write Director Extension Service, University of Arkansas and U. S. Department of Agricul- ture, Little Rock or Fayetteville, for bulletin on the home made slo
 BUYING AND GROWING FEED.
 It is common talk all over Ar kansas that it is an uncommon sight now to see farmer hauling feed from town. That means that last year farmers grew a good sup ply. It is believed that this is true this year. Hold up hands, all who are planning to grow enough feed this year to carry over until Au- gust, 1917. Don't buy! With corn and sorghum and sudan grass and the cloyers and coWpeas and soy beans and alfalfa and with the finest winter pastures in America the Arkansas farmer can have no excuse for buying anything for feed. The cotton farmer should feed more cotten seed meal, one of the best feeds ever grown. It is not too late to plant the waste patchesto sorghum, soy beans or velvet beans. Get few hundred pumpkin seed and stick in the ground in waste places, in the field, in the garden, around the stable or in fence corners.
 BETTER CATTLE MOVEMENT.
 This movement for pure bred cattle in Arkansas is growing fast and faster. Already rura bred bulls have been brought into the following counties Cross, Poin- sett, Woodruff, Craighead, Greene, Clay, Randolph, Jackson, Carroll, Benton and Washington in the north and in Logan, Miller, Ouach- ita, Drew, Arkansas, Lafayette, Ashley and probably many others. In all counties where one or more cars of pure bred stuff have been brought in the bankers have as- sisted or have financed the whole purchase. It means that Arkan- sas bankers are big men and see into the future. In all cases mon ey is loaned to the farmers where desired at low rate of interest.
 
 The county agricultural agent have in almost every case been the guilty instigators' or the willing conspirators" of the bankers. The Extension Service of the Universi- ty and U. s. Department of Agri- culture has three men in this work, helping to organize the farmers. going with committees to select stock and in every possible way as- sisting in the movement. Farmers and others interested should take the matter up with the county agricultural agent for dates with the specialists or for information as to where to secure the stock.
