a foot in height, have attractive silvery

siderable size, over which the seed

A small bottle Of freeZOne costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as il
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.

FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK
By r. L. Sloan
AGENT FOR GRANT PARISH
Club Workers No Less Needed Than
Army to Win the War.


As more men are called to military
service the burden of procuring food
and clothing fall heavily upon boys who
are too young and men who are too old
for military service. A labor shortage
caused by hundreds of thousands of able
bodied men in the prime of life being
called from the class of producers, and
put in the ranks where they can only
be consumers, brings this country face
to face with serious situation viewed
from the standpoint of production.
Even now there is hardly home
which has not felt the military hand of
the law either directly or through some
very dear friend. Ere another season
rolls by many more homes will have
contributed some member of the family
to the army. Home responsibilities are
being gradually shifted onto th4sfould-
ers of boys. The production Of food by
boys and girls becomes no less patri-
otto duty than marching to meet the foe
is for the men.
The Junior Extension work fostered
by our national government was organ
lied to encourage those boys and girls
under eighteen who are already at work
producing something and to help induce
others to work. In addition to patriotic
reasons FOR club work, the prospects for
good money returns on each of the club
projects was never better. Cotton,
corn, pigs, poultry and vegetables are
ell in demand. Then there will be a
Eumber of cash premiums awarded in
each club for those doing good work.
Superintendent Harris is laying great
stress on club work In schools. The
director of extension has figured out
the number of boys and girls of school
age in each parish. From this he asks
that certain number be enrolIedin one
of the clubs. Mr.. Richardson writes,
