Our doors are not closed to you but to you who do not strive for more knowledge and would only attend our meet ings in order to have a big time then we have no room in our midst for you.
 Our Club being organized for the above purposes, then may I not ask, can the people of our community who take an interest in educational work criticise us thoughtlessly. We shall always stand ready to aid our cOmmuni- ty in any thing that shall be for its upbuilding and should there be those who wish to discourage our work they shall be at liberty to do so and we shall pass their criticisms by so far as possible unnoticed.

cured without great cost to the individual. Thus, community breeding is cheaper than the old method. In addition, it enables farmers in one section of the township or county to exchange sires with farmers few miles distant at the end of few years, thus eliminating the necessity of buying new sires and the temp tation to in5reed too closely. Community breeding is not only cheaper but it offers a great ad- vantage in selling Few farmers have enough animals to make up carload lots with animals of uni form size and weight at the same time. In this way, good price can be secured for all of the live stock for sale; otherwise, the better individuals would have to be sold in hog lots with the poor CT ones and their full value could not be obtained. Again, commun- ity breeding proves to be a very good advertisement for the com munity.
 Buyers are more apt to visit communities where they know they can get what they want without filing in their orders with undesirable individuals in order to make carload shipments. It is also true that buyers come to know communities by the standards which they set and they pass the word about. Thus, much free advertising is obtain ed. If you io not have a coopera tive livestock association in your neighborhood or community, write to J. H. Mcleod, Livestock Specialist with the Extension Di vision of the University of Ar kansas, Fayetteville, and ask for information. He will help you organize and will help you select and buy animals for breeding purposes.

We appeal to the youth of the nation to produce food stuffs in gardens and fields. It has been demonstrated through the boys and girls clubs that it is possi ble for the farm family to supply itself with much of the food re quired, thereby increasing the commercial product of the coun. try for the needs of people in cit ies and foreign lands.

a milch COW or brood SOW at all. Keep both. If you have more of either than you need, let your neighbor have them, but do not sell either to be shipped out of the country. Put in some pea nuts. Peanuts will be a good price this fall. Remember, pea nuts will keep all the year. There never was year when we had a surplus of peanuts, and most likely never will be. The vines make good hay and the peanuts will make good hog feed Any land that Will make 20 bushels of corn to the acre should make 30 bushela of peanuts. The hay will bring you enough to pay for making the crop and you will have the peanuts as a profit.

Enlist YourBoy in Corn
 Club Work This Year

Although large number of Southern farm boys took part in corn club work last year, there were not half as many as there should have been. Many farm boys now have bank accounts that they started by selling corn from their prize acres, but there should be twice as many happy, ambitious Southern farm boys with such accounts. And why not your boy among them kind reader? So now, with the realiza- ton that the possibilities of corn club work have not been touched every farmer should resolve that his boys and those Of his neigh bors will be enrolled in the club work this year.
 The number of boys enrolled depends not on the state agents in charge of the work, but on the parents in charge of the boys. Your boy may notice the prize offers and yearn to enlist in the work, but he usually hesitate and fails to contest for the prizes un- less he is encouraged by his par. ents at the proper time.
 Another thing that will help is community support. Why not have your Local Farmers Union or farmers club offer prizes for the best yields of corn made in your neighborhood? Nearby merchants might offer prizes al so. In fact, with the cooperation of farmers and business men. there is hardly a community in the South that could not offer a creditable list of prizes in addi- tion to those offered by the state.
 When your local corn club has been organized. get some men who are good corn growers to make talks before the boys on corn growing. Let your boy know that the money made from his prize will be his. less per haps the usual charge for rent, and thus let ambition and friend ly rivalry stir in the boys Of your community a desire to ex- eel and to possess real money of their own. When the boy gets the money the sale of his corn brings, it is impossible for him to be loser, and he will gladly enter the club work.
 It is impossible to estimate the possibilities of corn clubs for do. Ing good in the South if neighbor- hoods will only take hold of the work.

Little Rock, Ark, April 25th- Two products are all important this year. One is corn and the other is hay. In case of emerg
 ency, corn will always answer the purpose for breadstuff. The 1917 wheat crop is going to be short. The price of flour is now outrageously high and will go higher. Those who have wheat should not sell it, but have it
 ground into four and keep it to sell to the neighbors, for there may come a time when you can not get flour shipped for love or money. Corn is good for making breadstuff and Is also the basis of all of the best stock feed It k almost indispensable, because it is the sure and easy means of making a balanced ration for stock. We must have some corn for our stock. We must have corn to finish our killing hogs. We can put fat on hogs with peanuts bran, shorts, peas, sweet pota- toes, rice bran and polish and other products, but it takes corn to finish and harden the flesh and make pork. and pork we
 must have. In tbe matter of feed for stock, nothing is more es- sential or useful than hay. The greatest trouble with our farm CTS is that they do not provide enough pasture for summer and hay for winter. Pasture grass is the most profitable crop where it is needed, because it Is crop that requires no cultivation during the growing season. and requires no harvesting, as it is harvested by the stock that eat it. Hay is produced with little labor and expense, and is valu- able for feed and takes the place of more expensive feed. Cow pea hay is always good if properly cured and has about the best feeding values Of any of our hays In addition, COW pea crop helps the land. A good plan is to SOW COW peas early and cut for hay. and let the second growth come so as to turn 1t under in the early fall for the benefit of the land. A good plan is to SOW COW peas on all your poor land. You will lose the least amount in labor and gain the greatest amount in feed ralue from a pea crop on poor land. Cow peas should be planted with corn at next to the last blowing in June, and the peas should be picked and hulled for seed or food the following year. Your cow pea land can be sown to clover this fall and it will make you Q good pasture for stock next spring and sum
 mer when corn is high and scarce
 By all mean, do not plant toe
 much of perishable crops. Take pans to put in plenty of Sweet potatoes and late Irish potatoes. By using care you can keep both through the winter. Do not sell

Uric Acid!

Ever since the discovery Of Scheele in
1775 that uric acid was found within the
body-most eminent physicians agree
that rheumatism is caused by it; also
many distressing symptoms as head
ache, pain in back, stomach distress,
swollen feet and ankles, govt, etc.
1t was DR.. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, NY, who discovered new agent
called Anuric, a harmless remedy
that if taken before meals will carry off
the uric acid from the system and in
this way the pains and aches, the creaky
joints and all the distressing symptoms
of rheumatism and other maladies dis
appear. You can easily prove this your
self, by obtaining Anuric at almost any
drug store, or send DR.. Pierce 10c. for
trial package. Try it and be convinced
that Anuric is many times more active
than lithia and eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar.
