SWAT=THE WEEDS.

The weeds on Arkansas farms costs the farmers millions of dollars worth of soil fertility. In Canada they have laws against letting many weeds go to seed. The list of bad weeds is so great that the farmer to be safe has to swat every weed before it drops it's seed. Why not form the habit of killing the weeds before the seed ripen? Teach the boys and girls the cost of weeds. Do not wait until Aug ust to cut weeds but do 1t now. Weeds along the roadside or in waste patches may seed all the farms in the neigbborhood Keep on sWatting the rooters and begin sWatting the weeds. Write Direc- tor Extension Service, Arkansas College of Agriculture and U. s. Department of Agriculture, Fay etteville and Little Rock for bulle- tins on weeds.

TICK ERADICATION.

The finest thing in Arkansas to- day is the fine spirit of cooperation in the building of dipping yats and in dipping cattle. The counties that are not in the eradication district are building about as many vats as those that get the medicine free. Now, if everybody will keep in good humor and dip cattle regu- larly we can have the whole state free in two years and then we will have the greatest livestock state in the country. Let us do this without the aid of law enforcement. Let everybody do it because it will help the neighborhood feeling.

BUY A cANNER.

Three thousand enthusiastic Arkansas girls and thousand farm women are enrolled with the Ex- tension Service of the University of Arkansas and the U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture this year in canning contests. They are going to can enough tomatoes and beans and other things to feed multi tude. But why not on every farm? This is the year of preparedness and every farm house in the state should have this fall cellar full of canned goods for the family. Don't think it is your duty to sup port the town grocer by buying from him a supply of Michigan to- matoes and peaches. Let him buy your surplus cans of garden stuff or trade coffee and sugar for it. Almost everything can be canned, tomatoes, beans, beets, strawber- ries, corn, peaches, sausage, beef, in fact about everything that can be grown. Make canner of old tubs or buy one of the three fine canners made in the state-the Williams Gamer, H. Williams, Hot Springs, the Warren Gamer, War ren Hdw. Co.,, Warren, or the Dixie Gamer made by the Dixie Gamer Go. of Little Rock. For bulletins and information about canning write Extension Service, Universi- ty of Arkansas and U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture, Little Rock.
 CRIMSON CLOVER.
 Arkansas farmers wlll plant more peas, beans and peanuts in corn this year than ever before. So much for enriching the corn ground and getting feed for pigs and COWS. Next we must push for crimson clover in the cotton fields. Let every farmer in Arkansas set his mine on five or more acres of crim- son clover this year or at least one-fourth of this entire cotton acreage. Then it will pay to SOW rye or oats in all the rest of the cotton acres for a winter cover crop. The Extension Service of University is starting on cam paign for more green fields next winter. Fifty-nine of the best county agricultural agents in America are working in Arkansas
