the prospects for oiling the
streets. He said he attended a
meeting at Ceylon Tuesday even
ing and the citizens of that vii
lage are about to oil six blocks
of their business section. Mr..
Muragg was interviewed at
length and he informed the Trib-
une that the cost of oiling six
blocks would be in the neighbour
hood Of $500. One-half gallon
of Oil is required to each square
yard Of street surface. In tank
load lots the oil costs 81 cents
per gallon, while barrel lots
come to 9.4 cents per gallon.
This includes the freight, which
is paid. Among the cities and
villages which have tried oiling
and found it to be a success are
St. James, Jackson, Mankato
and Amboy. Faribault has all
streets that are not paved oiled.

SILOS AND SILAGE

A silo is good insurance but a small one is not a good invest ment with fewer than five or six head of cattle. A small home made silo can be built for from $50 to $50. Bulletins and plans for these cheap silos will be sent free by writing the Exten- sion Division, College of Agri- culture, Fayettvillo or Little Rock. Then the question comes up as to material for silage. Corn is usually used but one of the grain sorghums will furnish much more tonnage with only little less ,Easalisle ysaslsea :ts t5 to1 oi bulletins and suggestions about silos and silage.

FARMERS SHOULD DEPOSIT ALL
 RECEIPTS IN BANKS

It's not the only remedy need ed, of course, but we have no doubt in the world of the wisdom of the advice just given by the Virginia State Farmers Union namely, that farmers should put themselves on the same footing as other business men" in dealing with banks. The idea is that follow the business mans rule of paying all bills by check, it will be easier for the farmers to borrow when needed as other business men do. In other words, banks, like other business houses, are disposed to .look after their acquafntances, friends, patrons, and customers,

FARM WOMEN'S CLUES

The newest form of extension work offered by the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas and U. s. Department of Agriculture is the Farm Women's Clubs with twelve lessons in foods and cooking, 4 lessons in butter making, 2 in poultry. These lessons are free and will be sent to one woman or to a club of two or more who will be able to meet together each week during the spring and summer. It is hoped that the women of 500 neighbor- hoods will organize and take up this work, that is prepared for farm women and no others. Those interested should write w. c. Lassater, Asst Director Cooperative Extension work, Old State House, Little Rock, Arkansas.
The Green Forest tribune., 1916-03-17
PROFIT IN GOOD TOOLS

If the farmers of Arkansas are to do better farming they must get better farm imple- ments and bigger mules or horses. A good blow or harrow is a good investment. A disc harrow is one of the best farm tools ever invented. A double row cultivator for two mules ought to be used on every farm. Why not cooperate moro2 Let two formers buy a cultivator to. gether. Buy a disc harrow to- gether and work four mules in stead of two. More team work will mean less hand work. More of the humane team work" will mean more prosperity for the farmers, too.
The Green Forest tribune., 1916-03-17
USE GOOD SIRES

The most extravagant thing any farmer can do is to use scrub sires for breeding stock. A calf from a grade COW and a pur-bred beef bull is worth $1O more at six months than a calf sired by scrub bull. A colt sired by a pure-bred Percheron or a Coach or a Hackney stal- lion is easy worth $25 more at Weaning time than a colt sired by a scrub. A litter of pigs sired by pure-bred Duroc or a Poland China or a Berkshire male will net, at eight months, three times as much as a litter sired by a scrub. Farmers can well afford to pay good service ices for the use of pure-bred sires.

A SPRAYING MANUAL

Arkansas has a reputation for good apples and peaches but if our orchardists do not study the art and science of spraying with a good deal more zeal our repu- tation will be lost. Oregon ap- ples are sold in Little Rock at a higher price than Arkansas apples and four stores in Arkansas cities keep Oregon and Washington apples to every one that handles Arkansas apples. The Extension
 Division of the University of Ar kansas has just put out a remark able spraying manual that is different from any other ever published. It enumerates the pests and diseases on fruit, veg etables and berries and states the spray to be used. The man. ual was prepared by Professors Hewitt, Wicks, Becker and Heard of the departments of Plant Pathology, Horticulture and En- tomology of the Arkansas Col lege of Agriculture. It is ainan- ual for the busy orchardist and gardner. It will be sent free on application to the Extension Di7 vision, University of Arkansas.

and the farmer needs to put himself in the class. If the average town man kept his money at home or in his safe when he had a little surplus and never went to a bank except to borrow, he would stand mighty little chance of borrow ing at all. And if he lacked such help and had to pay time prices" or borrow from loan sharks. he would soon go into bankruptcy.
 Consequently MT. Town busi- ness man puts every cent he gets in the bank, and though he may never have a balance worth mentioning, yet the bank knows him, appreciates his patronage, and helps him. We believe the Virginia Union is wise in urg- ing farmers to get on tie same business footing" "-The Pro- gressive Farmer.

KILLING WEEDS

Most people think of weed killing as z, job with the hoe or sythe, but these are expensive ways. It is cheaper to kill weeds before the crop is planted. The harrow is our cheapest weed killing tool, Flow ground when dry, harrow after six or eight days and then harrow again m about the same time and yet again as in this way time will
 be allowed for weed seed to germinate and the harrow will do the killing. Three harrow ings, siA days apart and before planting, will kill most of the germinating weeds and it will be done cheaper than 1t can be done with the hoe in June. You can't kill weeds by three harrowings in one week as time must be allowed for germination.
The Green Forest tribune., 1916-03-17
PROMOTE CORN AND
 CANNING CLUBS

The best crop in Arkansas is the crop of boys and girls on our farms and in our towns and cities. They are great in possibilities but if not helped in forming good habits they may be very poor citizens. There is no better way of helping the boys and girls of rural communities than through the corn, pig, and cotton clubs and poultry and canning clubs.
 This county should have at least one hundred boys in the corn clubs. There is no better way of building up our corn in- dustry than by interesting these boys in growing a good acre of -ocrn. Fathers should encourage their boys by letting them have an acre for corn.
 
 If we want to&get more and better live stock why not get a hundred boys to growing pigs this year. Why not help our boys to get into the game of growing corn and pigs and give them a start in an agricultural education? It takes only a few small prizes in cash or merchan- disc to get a start. Let our county lead out in a big list. Every boy between the ages of ten eighteen who lives on a farm should be in the corn or pig con- test. w. J. Jernigan, Old State House, Little Rock, who has charge of this work will send a pamphlet eXplainlngt the work and every county agent is working hard to get these young farmers interested n t',s- .ssezs 2, 55 for z9 ''' s.r,.lzr bn,t wait, boys.

THE POTATO PATCH

In most parts of Arkansas it is possible to grow two crops of Irish potatoes on tthe same ground in one season. Then can any farmer have any ex- cuse for not growing enough potatoes for his own table from June to March? Only a small patch will be needed if the ground be we'll plowed, and the crop well cultivated and cared for. As the first crop is dug for the family the next crop should be planted. In one county last year half the white farmers bought potatoes for family use and each man could have raised enough and to spare on waste ground around the house. Plant potatoes and plant early and then plant for a second crop.

WE NEEDl MAN

The reason why so many 0. us fail to achieve greater success! in life is because we do not ex ert the necessary will power to accomplish more definite results
 Look over the people of this town. Study their habits, their speech, and their accomplish ments. You will find many of them who undoubtedly possess an enormous reserve of will power. Their every word and action indicate as much. But there is perceptible disposition to hesitate which prevents the bringing of that reserve force actively into play. The natural result is that they are only mod erately successful when they should be rising to great heights.
 In this our people are in no re- spect different from those of other places and other climes. It is a trait of human nature and will survive until the end of the human race.
 Occasionally we read or hear of some great man who begins life in an humble way. If you could look down deep into the soul of that man you would see that he is just a human being like the rest of us, with this exception. He has fought and conquered the retarder, hesi- tancy, and has brought into full action the will power that lies dormant in a majority of people. His normal mind perceives an opportunity and his will and de- termination forces him to grasp it. The result is success. The world hears of him while the rest of us live and die in the peaceful obscurity of our own little circles.
 There are those among us who have in them the making of men and women of national note, but hesitancy dogs their steps. Their acute minds see the opportunities ahead of them, but hesitancy whispers to them to wait, and while they are waiting opportunity marches on. It pauses for no man.

The citizens mass meeting was held in the opera house Wednes- day night, for the purpose of nominating a city ticket to be voted on at the city election to be held April 4th. Everything went off quietly and peaceful and the following ticket was unanim- ously adapted; for mayor; J. c. Pinkerton, for recorder; J. A. Buell.; for aldermen; J. B. Reeves c. c. O'Neal, w. L. Fritz, c. s. Skinkle and Lundy Cox; for street ommi sioner;;J J. H. Reeves.
 This ticket includes some of our most progressive citizens who have the interest of the city at heart and, if elected, will make the city as good a set of officers as it is possible to obtain. Let us all come out April 4th, and give these men our support and keep Green Forest on the map.
 Among other subjects discussed: The stock law was we'll taken care of and an hour was used in the discussion before the vote was taken which resulted in the unanimous adoption of +ffffsaying the question placed on the tisket and voted on at the eIectionA At this election you can probably cast the deciding vote whetheN Or notehe city shall be city of shade >0 care n11ssture stu for cattle.

lying dormant, working onl as necessity requires.
 As a community we need a awakening. We need a reviva of will power and of determine. tion. We need a big boot that will lift hesitation and procrasti nation into eternal oblivion anC forgetfulness. We need action
 But above all we need com. mercial pastor for the flock, We need a man who has fought anC conquered hesitancy, who is achieving success himself, who will take us by the hand and lead us into the way of ac. complishment and results. We need a leader who can lead.
 We have such a man in ouI midst-you all know him-but hesitancy is making its last desperate appeal. He is fighting alone and valiantly in his efforts to finally and definitely divorce himself from all hesitancy and procrastination. He has the heart, and the will, and the desire to lead and to be of use to his fellow men, difidency alone prevents. It is the last link in the chain of hesitation that still holds him in leash.
 We are writing this editorial for his benefit. We know he will read it, and we hope it will serve as an inspiration and en- courage him to make the SUI preme effort that will free him from all restraint and place his great intellect and natura power of will at the disposal ot our town and our community.
 We need his counsel, his advice, and his leadership. w, need him now.

WE MIGHT

We might devote some space to the glorious women of our tow. But what man really knows anything about a woman? Who can analyze the minds that have bafled us masculine worms since the days of Adam? We can't-nO man can. We look around us and we see evidences of sweetness and gentleness on every hand. We feel the refn- ing and elevating influence of the good woman with whom we come into daily contact, and our lives are the brighter and the sweeter for their presence. And then our dreams are suddenly disturbed by reading of one of those rare exceptions where a woman has raised more hell in a minute than mere man can smooth over in a life time of ef- fort. No, we can't discourse learnedly on women. The sub- ject is too deep for us, and we pass 1t up. But not until we 
 have remarked that this com munity is peculiarly and signally blessed in the quality of it's. wo- men-bless the dear things.

DON'T FLOW WET

One of the most costly mis- takes made by Arkansas farm CTS is to blow corn and cotto n land when it is wet. Of course With frequent rains the clods will crumble but it costs too much in labor to keep such ground in workable condition.
 Better wait few days and

when the upper surface gets dry work it with the disc har- row and then after three or four days start the blow. Borrow a disk or rent one and try this plan and see if your ground will not work better all through the summer.
