One of the really great steps in the history of agriculture in the world was actually discover ed or originated and developed by the late Dr. Seaman A. Knapp. who thus proved to be one of the great benefactors of the South and the Nation. This work has been going on in Ark ansas for about six years and marvellous results have been se- cured in many counties. But only 49 of the Seventy-five coun- ties have these agents and in some of these counties the funds had to be raised this year by subscription. This is not right. The farm demonstration work is intended to be of definite help to farmers and farmers should sup i
 port it. The Farmers Union as an organization is behind the work and in most counties the Union members are firm SUD- porters. Let all get behind it this year. If you have a county agent, use him, and then stand up for him Help him to make his work so successful that not a member of the quorum court will, next October. even think of dropping the work. but rather want to pay a better salary and provide a small fund for his eX- penses.

Sometimes several sprayings may be necessary in order to eradicate dis, ease or insect and this is not infre- ouently the case with the most com mon of the orchard pests Some of the orchardists spray from five to eight times each year for scab, bitter rot, codling moth, etc. In order to have the desired effect. the spraying must be done at the proper time. Often a days difference in time makes . big diffrence in the results obtained, so promptness as well as thoroughness counts in the spraying business. The thing that appeals to every orchardist. however, is that by doing the work thoroughly and promptly he can grow a crop of fruit that is . credit to any section.

 Little Alma Kutz. thirteen years of ago, the first prize winner, made her money from the sale of tomatoes and asters grown oneeighth of an acre All the work of planting and harvesting the crops she did herself, with the exception Of the first blowing of the land early in the spring. She prepared hotbeds for her tomato plants, and made a covering of window glass for them Next she bought 200 small fowerpots, and when the tomato plants were well up transplanted them into the pots.
 While the plants growing she marked on the plat into thirty inches apart and short time later transplanted the tomato plants from the pots to the plat Tho next few weeks she was busy cultivatng the plants, keeping the rows entirely free of weeds. When the plants had spread out so much that she could not hoe them any more she went between the rows and pulled out the weeds with her hands.
 About the twentieth of June there were many nice ripe tomatoes on the vines and she gathered her first box which she sold for $1 AS fast as the tomatoes ripened she picked them and packed them carefully into crates and every day her father carried them in to the Chicago market along with products from his own truck garden. In all she gathered 225 boxes of tomatoes which brought her s113.
 On part of her plat she planted asters late in the season and from the sale of these she realized $9 finding a ready market for all she could offer to the florist shops of Chicago. The flowers were shipped in fresh by parcel post each evening. Her total expenses were sl6.90 for the two crops. thus leaving her net profit of $105.l0 This money she has loaned to her father at 6 per cent interest. and she expects next season to double the amount of her land and her income.

Everyone Should Drink Hot Water

Wash away all the stomach, Iiv- CT, and bowel poisons be-

This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the b wei pores do, says a well-known physician.
 To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before breakfast each day, glass of hot wa ter with teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimen- tary tract, before putting more food into the stomach.
 Get quarter pound O. limestone phosphate from your druggist or at the store. It is inexpensive and al most tasteless, except " sourish tinge which ir not unpleasant Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your system of these vile poi sons and toxins; also to prevent their formation
 To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an &C., cumulation of body poisons, begin this treatment and above all, keep 1t up! AS soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and purifying. so limestone phosphate and hot wate. before breakfast, act on the stomach. liver. kidneys and bowels-Adv.

American Patience Tried

The friendship of the United States is one of the greatest assets of the British. according 70 Sir Gilbert Parker, who in the course of a recent interview had much praise for the American gov ernment and the policy it has adopted in the present war He said in part:
 There has been in modern times when neutral nation did not challenge belligerent nation because of it's interference with neutral rights The United States has cer- tany been greatly tried by orders n council There has been. indeed a series of difficulties In this business of neutral rights the American people have been called the pedants. There may be pedants among them, but beneath all is deepseated respect for international law for the keeping of treaties for perfect observance of the rules of civilization.
