to have the roads improved for them; ,; they promised their full proportion of financial support for their constfue- ti0n.
 An entirely different condition is re- ported from New England, New York and New Jersey. There the conges- tion of railway traffic makes the high ways of great value in delivering man. ufaetured materials from one city to another; the motor truck has sudden ly become a real necessity in meeting the urgent requirements for transport ing the products of the cities. In short, the rational improvement of roads is an essential element of the grave economic problems of the day, to make the valuable products of the farm and shop available to the user at the lowest possible cost. This sub- feet should be studied at once as an economic problem, the same as the provision of railway and waterway transportation, the increase in cu1ti- vated acreage and the improvement of manufacturing facilities. Crops that cannot be moved from the farms ex- cept at enormous expense and manu- factured products that must lie in storehouse because of congestion of railways are of little value to na- ton which needs such things now.

tion to a purpose lies in the field of marketing. Why should small farm CTS with ten or twelve head of fat hogs sell them al from to cents per pound less than the market price when through cooperation with two or three of his neighbors he could ship in car lots to the regular market and secure market price for his stuff? Why not organize for a purpose?
 Irish potatoes have proven profita- ble in those several sections of the state where the smaller growers have been willing to organize for the pur- pose of marketing these potatoes in car lots. Sweet potatoes, so well adapted to the soils of Arkansas, can be produced at profit in commun1
 ties where the growers are willing to organize for car lot shipment. Organ izatien for the purpose of marketing strawberries. peaches, and such per iGhable fruits has already been dem onstTated very successfully in a num- her of important points in the state. Many examples of organization for purpose might be cited, but it seems sufficient to point to the many examples the country over where or anizations with a purpose have sue eeeded and those without purpose have failed. 1t can be pointed out further that efficient leadership is es- sential for the success of those or ganizations created with the best of

IA [ LEADERSHIP
 IN ORGANIZATION
The Necessity of oreanizatIon-co- operation Means Community
 Eetterment.
By W. C. Lassetter, Director. Exten- sion Division, University of
 rIy


 The power of organization In our national and commercial life is well recognized the country over. Why have not the people in the communi- ties of the country organized for the advantages of organization? Why have not they co-operated for commu- nity betterment? National and com mercial organizations have, in every instance, been for a we'll defined pur- pose. Far too many so-called com munity organizations have lacked a purpose, and for that reason have been short lived National and com mercial organizations seek the strong est leadership. Leadership has often- times been lacking in community or ganization Why not apply these two fundamental principles of organiza- ton to community life and thereby establish desirable community organi- cations
 Neighborliness First Step in Co.,
 operation.
 There is no community where there has not been some cooperation in the form of neighborliness For example, in the exchange of farm products, in the loan of farm animals for work, in he loan, perhaps, of tools, in the Borrowing of small quantities of ma- teria1s for consumption that can be returned at the convenience of the borrower. These are the first steps in cooperation. They represent to he average person spirit of neigh lorliness.
 Organize For a Purpose.
 Why not extend the spirit of neigh forliness within the community Trough organization for a purpose? ihy should every farmer within a community keep an inferior head of the herd when by cooperating he and two or three of his neighbors could Cspose of the inferior animals and purchase a pure bred animal of su. rerior quality to head the herds of several farmers? This would be or gssn1Zation to purpose. Why shouldn't two or more neighbors CO., operate in the purchase of a grain d.ill if one would be sufficient to do i!4e seeding Of these several farms !? This would be cooperating to a pur- pose.

Must Have Leadership in Or
 uanization.

The time is ripe for organization of individuals within communities, of communities within counties, of coun- ties within states, but all of this or anization must be done with pur- pose. EfIicial leadership is abso- 1utely essential for the develop ment of cooperation along effective lines. Without purpose in mind and without the guidance of a compe- suit in little gain.
 A County Agent the Logical Leader.
 There is good leadership in practi- cally every community in Arkansas provided this leadership is properly guided. Every citizen needs to con- tribute a portion of his time to leader ship in community activities. These untrained leaders, however, require the guidance of q person skilled in problems of leadership and organiza- tion. Today county agents, men who are trained in qualities of leadership, are serving the communities in their counties in this capacity Under their guidance neighboFs become bet ter neighbors, communities cooperate for their own good. purpose of or ganizatiin is defined and organiza- tions live, that spirit of cooperation expressed in ordinary neighborliness is extended in the many ways possi- ble for the benefit of all eommuni- ties. In other words the county agent becomes a leader of leaders, di-
 recting this natural leadership of ths country along lines of greatest value to all people.

APPLICATIONS FOR
LOT CULTIVATION
STILL COMING IN

1t is yet too early to determine the
number Of lots that will be planted to
potatoes, but If the applications re-
ceived may be taken as criterion 1t is
safe to say that everyone of the $50
lots listed will be made to produce a
potato crop. City Gardener Ashby
states that he has had more than 1900
applications for lots, but many of these
will go no farther than to make in
quiry. He estimates that at this time
planting is being done on probably 100
lots, but he is confident that practi-
cally all of the lots listed will be cult
waited.
Until contracts for water are signed
it will be impossible to make an &c
curate check Of the lots being planted
and the city gardener will not be in po-
sition to render much assistance to
potato growers until he has positive
assurance that they mean business
He says the best way to show that
they will plant and cultivate crop is
to contract for water.
