BOYS CORN CLUBS
 BEING ORGANIZED
An Appeal Made to Secure the Enlist ment of All Farmers Boys in
 These Organizations

There should be ten thousand Ar kansas boys in the corn clubs this year. The county agricultural agents in fifty counties are directing the work in their counties, and interesting boys, farmers and business men in this great educational work If there are a thousand boys in a county, on the farms, between the ages of ten and eighteen there certainly should not be less than three hundred in the corn clubs. Then what about this great educational work in the twenty-five counties where there is no county az ricultural agent? Are there not some farmers, preachers, bankers, or others who will volunteer to take up this splendid work? There are several unfortunate as to be without agricul- tural agents, but the boys on the farms of those counties are just as deserv- ing as those in other counties. It will only take a few hours to arrange for prizes for these boys, cash or mer- chandise, and a mere announcement ill the papers that some one would lead, would bring fifty names. Then the Extension Service of the Arkansas University and the U. s. Department of Agriculture would help in bullet ins, letters and meetings. Persons In terested should. write to MT. w. J. Jernigan, Old State House, Little Rock, Ark, and he will give all the help desired. Won't everybody help Ask MT. Jernigan for his pamphlet and get busy.

MEBEL VALE SHIPPERS
 ATTRACT ATTENTION
RussellviIIe Paper, Commenting on Pulaskian Article, Stirs Up It's
 Readers.

The Russellville Courier-Democrat quotes the article in The Pulaskian about the shipment of sweet potatoes from Russellville, and makes the fol lowing pertinent comment:
 "Russellville growers are sleeping on their rights by not organizing for the systematic marketing of their DO tatoes. The grading system estab- lished in this city was published in government bulletins, and later in hundreds of newspapers throughout the country, and in every one of them the fact that the government agent was sent to Russellville, where more interest was shown, was mentioned. This alone would give Russellville po- tatoes an advantage over all others in the market if our growers were but organized and prepared to take ad- vantage of this splendid advertising, which could not have been secured for thousands of dollars in cash.
 Our growers are complaining that they cannot sell their potatoes, and wondering what they will do with them, simply because they did not re- spond to an effort which was made last winter to organize marketing association"

GALLOWAY GLEANINGS.

There are great preparations going on in our vicinity. The land is being put in order for crops of all kinds. Cotton acreage will be as it was last year, but corn, grain and grass will have a greater share of attention.
 The school at Scott's has an agricul- tural department, which seems to be meeting with great favor. What won derful advantages the children of the present day have over those of "ye olden times" The blue-backed spell ing book and parsing long sentences of Milton's Paradise Lost" was our task, almost from the cradle.
 Several dinner parties have been given in the neighborhood of late, and on Friday evening last a delightful dance at Kerr was indulged in by the younger set.
 Beautiful weather prevails, and ev- erybody is well.
 Wide flush the fields; the softening
 air is balmy;
 Echo the mountains round; the forest
 smiles,
 And every sense and every heart is
 joy"

ADVISES AGAINST
 BIG COTTON CROP
JOHN R. FRAZIER DECLARES THERE IS GREAT DANGER IN
 COTTON ACREAGE
is UP TO BUSINESS MEN
Says the Farmers of Pulaski County Have Learned a Lesson, and Conditions Are Not
 So Bad.

John R. Frazier, owner of one of the largest plantations in Pulaski county in the fertile bottom lands east of Little Rock, declares that there is danger in the threatened great in- crease in cotton acreage of the state this year. He does not believe, how ever, that conditions are as bad in Pulaski as in Jefferson and some of the other counties.
 MT. Frazier says that it is tip to the business men, who can control the situation to a considerable extent if they will insist upon those to whom they extend credit raising something more than cotton
 ''It is to their own interests to see that the farmer raises enough food and feed for himself and his live stock" says Mr. Frazier. If the farmer doesn't, he is going to have a hard time paying what he owes to the merchant and the banker, with cotton selling for or cents, and 1t wouldn't surprise me if the price should go down around there
 Tn Pulaski county I don't believe the situation is so bad. The farmers of this section have learned a lesson, believe. In the section where my plantation is located the farmers are planting about as much or more land to feedstuffs as they did last year. and practically the same acreage of cotton.
 As for myself, l have arrived at the conclusion that 1t is the worst sort of business policy to plant my entire plantation to cotton and buy feed for my live stock and that of the men working on my place We will have enough hay to sell. It brought a good price last year, and I see no reason why it shouldn't this year. Then, even if the price of cotton is way down, we won't be in bad shape. Whatever we get for our cotton will be our money. We don't have to use it to pay for hay and grain
