 Here is the tribute paid to the Y. M. C. A. by the chaplain of the famous Black Watch Regi ment of Canada, which went out with 1000 men and came back with one officer and 36 men:
 The Y. M. c. A. in my opinion is the greatest organization in the army. It is your oank, your library, your theater. your read ing and writing room your bu reau of information. They can't do enough for you. No matter how hard or tough man is he takes off his hat to the Army Y. M. c. A. It's the best friend be has" ;"

A great many sto ries have gone forth with regard to the large number of student officers that will be accepted here this summer and fall.

Plant Fall Potatoes

Arkansas needs crop of Irish potatoes for next winters home use and one that will keep for the best prices. Fall potatoes should be planted July 15 to Au- gust 1. Two or three weeks be- fore planting, seed potatoes should be put in a semi-sbady place piled not more than 1 inch es deep, covered with old straw and leaves and kept moist until they begin to sprout. As soon as sprouts are one fourth of an inch long, plant little deeper than is required for the early crop and cover as soon as Dossi- ble to avoid damage from the hot sun.

Southern Rice Growers Association Re.
 port

port
 Beaumont, Texas, July ,. 1918: For the first time rice is grow ing on more than one milliou acres in the United States, ac- cording to the preliminary acre age estimate for 1918 completed by the Southern Rice Growers Association today. The acreage is distributed as follows:
 Louisiana, 573.10o; Texas. 24. .103; Arkansas, 167. 7.911; Car olina. Georgia. Florida, Alabama. and Mississippi, 5000; Califor mia. 12O,0O0; This indicates an in- crease of 158 per cent, when compared with the acreage for 1917, which was 961,075. This year the acreage for Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas is 965, 122 CT 23.O47 greater than for the Uni ted States in 1917.
 A feature of the Association estimate is the remarkable in crease reported in the number of acres devoted to the Sol Wright Varieties of rice. known as Blue Rose, Louisiana Pearl, Early Prolific and Edith, develop ed on the Wright farm near Crowley, Louisiana. A few years ago these rices were little known. This year 76 per cent of the Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas acreage is bearing them. Edith rice was planted in small way in California in 1917 and yielded splendidly, and the acreage was increased this year. Early Pro life is also being cultivated in that state now and experiments are being conducted with the other varieties. Eventually the Wright Varieties will displace Japan rice in California. it is ex- pected. These varieties are har dy and yield heavily, which makes them valuable to the plant CT and entities their propagator to the full measure of credit that should be accorded the origina- tor of any cereal Of superior quality.
 The general condition of the crop is excellent. the estimate

Must Save Home Grown Seed of All
 Kinds

Save plenty of seed oats and wheat. Varieties that have made good Tn your locality are to be preferred to seed from distance of unknown qualities. It is also not only extravagant but dan gerous to buy and bring in seed every year. It has been report ed by number of county agents that 90 per cent of the seed oats brought into the state last spring had Johnson grass seed in it. Keep out the weeds and save money by saving your own seed from wheat, oats, rye, corn. clo yer, alfalfa and vegetables.

Camp Pike Notes

hot weather. Not that it is any hotter this summer than usual, but most ot the boys are living a more strenuous life than they are accustomed to following at this season of the year. Taking a l man who has been indoors for years and suddenly shooting him out into the July sun for hours of steady drilling is a mighty big change to say the very least. And it is only a rec ognitlon of the serious needs of the nation for soldiers that gives lot of the fellows the grit and l the determination to hang on long after they have passed what they always considered to be the limit of human endurance We have just as many heroes in Camp Pike as they have oversea even though the men here are getting no medals.
 And while they are seeking no special recognition for it. whole lot of credit is due to the Y. M c. A. secretaries for the splen- did way in which they are stick ing to their work. A majority Of them are men who used to take their summer vacation just about now and many have their own summer homes. But there are few furloughs and vacations for the Camp Pike "" men. as the force is sbortbanded and most of the secretaries are doing eX tfa work rather than getting re lief because of heat.
 Several huge warehouses in the camp are filled with great piles of winter clothing, turned in by troops that have gone east in the past few months, and that are now being carefully examin- ed by experts to see whether it is worth cleaning and mending for further use. or whether it shall go to the junk man as old rags. All bedding and old equip ment is washed and disinfecled, and it too is used if not too far gone. Uncle Sam is practicing conservation himself these days. While there is reported to De steady decrease in profanity in most of the army camps of the country, there is still plenty of rough talk among the men. Lit tie Mabie. Swear old, was at camp with a brother the other day and to her great delight was allowed to eat at mess with the soldiers. Upon her return home she had many stories to tell of army life Asking permission of her mother to play at supper that she was at the camp, she ate from a tin plate. used tin cup. and astonished the assembled family by calling out. Pass them beans, you crazy boobs. ;
 Selling stamps and handing out envelopes and paper to the new men continues to be one of the biggest items of work just now at the "Yo buildings. One secretary gave away free in a single afternoon, 1 GOO envelopes and paper in proportion. The colored "" sold S5, 1000 worth of
  money orders in a single week. In addition to the work in the buildings. the secretaries visit the men in the quarantine areas to give them the same opportu- nity for writing home. Special out door movies are frequently given for the men in quarantine. who attend in a body and under the auspices of sergeant chap erone.
 Of course jobs cannot be found for all the soldiers in the army who have some special trade, but men are found to ill almost any kind of job. A walk along
