WOEFUL WASTE,

What is the use of raising fruit and
vegetables in this valley if the surplus
is not to be utilized? And no matter
how great the tonnage of products
shipped out there is always a large
surplus that annually goes to waste.
That waste is especially noticeable
this year, as orchards have come into
bearing and more land has been plac-
ed under cultivation. That waste this
year, and next year, and for years to
come, while the world is crying for
food is crime. What will be wasted
this year, if it could be put into shape
to keep, would feed thousands of peo-
pie. Our local orchards are just COM
into bearing, and yet today there are
tons and tons of apples, not grading
exactly up to commercial standard, yet
for use in by-products just as good as
No. 1 fancy, that are rotting on the
ground. This wastage Is most deplora-
bic. The valley farmer made no spec
ial effort to grow vegetables in abun-
dance this year, still owing to the fe-
cundity of the soil, stimulated by water
tons of vegetables were lost. There is
crying need for means to turn this
surplus to use. There is no reason why
the Gull apples should not be dried, or
made into cider or vinegar. Further
more, the great need of this part Of the
valley is cannery, or several of them.
Fruit driers could be attached, or
made separate industry. Dried fruit
can always find a market and COM
mand a good price, as the consumer
will discover by stepping into store
and buying the same. If a cannery
could be established here, and mar
ket assured for the grower, there is
no limit to the quantity of vegetables
that can be grown.
At the last meeting of the Com
mercial Club this matter was taken
up and something definite in the way
of a cannery may grow out of the
movement. The necessity Of such all
industry is recognized by the commu-
nifty, and if an experienced cannery
man can be induced to look over the
field he will find ample encouragement

which left Mrs. Johnston with some
ready means after settling her indebt-
edness. At the barn there has always
been large hay scales and a corral
for cattle, where about all cattle
brought to this place for shipment
have been weighed. The scales suffer-
ed some damage by the fire and the
corral was entirely consumed. 1t is the
intention of Mrs. Johnston to put the
scales in perfect order and construct
a large corral. This will solve the prob
lem of public cattle scales that was
under discussion at late meeting of
the Commercial Club. Moreover, as
public weighing is about Mrs. John
ston's only means of support. all the
business of that kind possible should
be given her.

 Miss Abbott has had broad exnar- fence in industrial matters in this country and abroad. She has lived for many years in an industrial neigh borhood and has visited Europe re- peatedly to observe industrial com mittees especially in countries from which immigration has been large in recent years. Since 1908 she has been actively engaged in work on in- dustrial problems as they have affect ed immigrants, part of the time as executive secretary of the Massachu- setts State Immigration Commission and more recently as director of the Immigrants Protective League of Chicago. The permanent staff of as- sistants will be selected from candi- dates approved by the U. s. Civil Ser vice Commission as a result of special examinations to be held on the 18th and 19 tn of September.
 As an aid to the Children's Bureau in the enforcement of the child labor law the women's committee of the Council of National Defense at Wash ington has just issued an appeal to all women who wish to help American youth in war time, urging them to see that all children under IA are en- rolled in school and asking them to forward to the women's committee in- formation about their own community answering the three simple questions which the committee has prepared:
 1. Are all children between and IA in your town, county, or school district in school?
 ?. How do you know?
 3. Are any children in need of scholarships in order to attend school?

Pulling Fodder.

Little Rock, Aug. 27.-Pulling fod- der and topping corn is not profit able method of securing feed. In or der to get good quality of fodder or tops the leaves must be pulled while still green. At that time the ears are still soft and are drawing on the leaves for additional food.
 Almost every experiment station in the South has conducted tests to find the effect on the yield of corn by pull ing the leaves. The results have shown a decrease in every instance of from three to eight bushels per acre below that where the leaves were all lowed to remain until the ear was mature.
 Pulling the leaves and topping the plant when the leaves are green tends to cause the corn to be more soft and chaffy. The husks also tend to open, which allows the damage from weevils to be excessive.
 Pulling fodder is always an eXpen- sive method of securing feed. The average yield of cured leaves is only from 300 to 800 pounds per acre. This year with the high cost of labor the time can be spent with much more profit in putting up some other form of hay or planting fall and winter pasture crops. The most practical and successful farmers have found out that pulling fodder and topping corn is an expensive proposition.

 TURNS TO COLORS
Roy Elam Fully Recovered and Gone Back to Help Keep "Old Glory" Waving.

A casual conversation with Mir. w. Il. Elam, overseer at the Grendel Mill Greenwood, s. C., led to the fact that his son, Roy, who is a great favorite in Greenwood, had returned to "some where at the front"
 Roy was perfect physical speci men, said MT. Elam, "but you would not have known him when he came back from Fort Grant, Panama. He practically came home to die from in- digestion. He was so badly run down that we had little hope of ever seeing him get strong again.
 But l had remedy right in the house that 1 banked on to help him and l made him start on it at once. and you never saw such a quick change in a man in your life.
 "l felt certain that Sulferro-Sol would give him a new grip on life for l knew what it had done for myself and wife and for dozens of my neigh bors.
 "1t simply was astonishing to see how Sulferro-Sol took hold of him and built him up. I say astonishing but 1t did not astonish me for knew it would do it, but it did astonish the neighbors.
 Roy was soon as we'll as ever and even stronger and now he has gone back to serve his country and he is physically more efficient than ever be- fore.
 People wonder why talk so much about Sulferro-Sol but if they could see the great good it is doing they would talk about it too. I call it the most remarkable thing that Nature has ever given us."
 Sulferro-Sol is sold and recom- mended by the Hesterly Drug Store. They will gladly tell you of it's great healing and building powers.

HOW ENGLAND SAVED

.troro contrast to their neigh - tho French across the English
 OV p.nrsl the masses of the English aanle a few years ago were proverb- iarr M spendthrift rather than sav- roce But the great war has wrought change.
 In the year 1916 although purchas- ;.n billions of dollars of war bonds the % small savings banks depositors in
 r.rlond increased their deposits over siyty million dollars.
 If was patriotism that started this oreat change in the people of the na- finn. The English people started saw
 ;oo their money because they saw that it meant saving England. But tbrift and economy begot thrift and economy. They economized and saved for their own sake as we'll as for Eng lands sake. Not only did they save money but they economized in food, in fuel in dress, in luxuries. More ,b.n one million English workers were nurchasers, out of their savings, in tbe second great war loan of Great
 Britain. and eight million subscribed to their last war loan.
 The question whether the civilian population should economize and do without certain things or the soldiers and sailors be denied things necessary for their effectiveness and safety was answered in no uncertain or unpat- l riotic way by the masses of the Eng l fish people, They did their bit in financing their country.
 Neither in ability nor in patriotism are the American people second to the English or the French or the German ] or any other nation. The Liberty Loan ] is at once an appeal and pride. It appeals to their patriotism and their civic pride; it is an opportunity to save and an opportunity to serve their country.
 No American need fear that the re- suits of the American peoples sup port of the Liberty Loan will fail to maintain America's traditional pat riOtism and power. The more than four million subscribers and the more than billion over-subscribed to the i first issue of the Liberty Loan Bonds are eloquent testimony of the Ameri- can peoples loyalty to their govern ment and their willingness and ability
 to give it full financial support.

HELP MAKE THE COMMUN-
 ITY FAIR A SUCCESS

There will be great many con- munity fairs throughout the state this fall and everyone should help to make them great success. The best pro- ducts of the field and kitchen should be exhibited. Not only for the adults, but the boys and girls should have space for their things. The members of the boys and girls clubs should certainly be given consideration.
 In addition to the exhibition of farm animals, corn, fruit, vegetables, etc., it would be we'll to have on hand at every fair an exhibition of local shop-made goods. The merchants of every trading center should have an exhibit at the community fair. Home made flour, brooms, tables, barrels, crates, baskets and other things made in the local trade center should be shown for the purpose of letting folks know what we really make in Arkan- sas. The time has come when we must develop the spirit of cooperation and trade at home Too much money is going out of Arkansas every year. Local industries must be encouraged. This will help the development of the state as much as anything else.
