PUT IN WINTER COVER CROPS
 VERY VALUABLE.


 Do not forget the value of wheat, oats and rye for cover crops. There are four distinct values of these three cover crops.
 First. They produce fine winter pasture.
 Second. They lessen the washing of the soil and loss of fertility.
 Third. The green plants use plant food that is being liberated through out the winter and when they are plowed under a great deal of plant food is saved which would be lost othrwise.
 Fourth. The plants blower under in the spring will not only add fertil. ity but humus to the soil and thus in crease it's moisture holding capacity.
 If you have any questions to ask concernin gthese cover crops or care for bulletins on this subject, write 70 the Extension Dtt sion University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, Ark

Must Produce Quality and Quan-
 tity To Compete.


 He learns that he must produce quality in order to interest the buyer who used to take his home product When he has done that like his com petitors he must begin to develop new markets for his products. He looks about for wider outlet and finds It, in many cases, miles distant which requires shipping in large amounts, generally in car lots, in order to leave a profit It is true that it costs more to reach this distant market, but it must be reached in order to sell. The grower also finds that he must em- ploy the services of distributors to enable him to locate his products on the distant market. This, again, goes into his profits, but things adjust themselves in time and eventually he finds himself in the great game of food distribution, operating his busi- ness on small margins and striving to increase his earnings by greater and better production.
 Cooperation Increases Profits.
 The day will come when the grower must conclude that some of the cost of conducting his business may be lessened by uniting his efforts with those of his neighbors. He then helps to form cooperative selling organiza- tions with the growers of his locality who are striving to produce the same commodity Jointly they employ an efficient sales manager in whom they have implicit confidence. Their com bined output is of such quantity and quality that they easily take their place in the big competitive game on distant markets and they find that by working together they can greatly lessen the cost of production and handling of their products. All ot this means bigger returns to tho grower individually and demonstrates that while a man may proftably ope-

FARnllnS SHOULD
 JET TOGETHER'
Much Money Is Lost Because Farmers Do Not Use Business Methods in
 Selling Their Produce.
By J. F. Nicholson, Marketing Spe- cialist, Extension Division,
 University Of Arkansas.

Farming is a business and demands the use of business methods. A few years ago farm products were not so widely distributed as they are today. Then the farmer could load his prod ucts on his wagon, drive to town and dispose of them with little difficulty. Now he generally finds that some one else has been to his market. Can taloupes are there from far distant states when his cantaloupes should have filled the demand Butter has been shipped in from large cream cry hundreds of miles distant when his butter should have supplied the wants of that locality; and even the bacon, that he used to furnish, now comes from packing plants that he never heard of before. This change is due to increasing competition on the part of producers everywhere. Groups of farmers unite their efforts in producing a given food crop. They find they must seek larger and more extensive markets. They push their products out farther and farther un- til they reach every corner of the earth Unless the local grower can compete in quality and kind, he finds that the other fellow has taken his place on his home market. The local grower is soon convinced that he is in a competitive game. Instead Of bemoaning his fate he determines that to succeed he must follow the methods of those who have crowded him out.
