"GIVE A BUSHEL"
 WEEK OPENS ON
 AUGUST THE 4TH.

The week of August 4, will be known as Give a Bushel" week in Arkansas it was de- cided at a meeting at the Ho- tel Marion Little Rock, July "A, when plans for raising the Farmers Give a Bushel War Fund were made.
 The idea of the Farmers Give a Bushel War Fund origi- mated with Mrs. c. K. Elliott, of Rison. The plan has receiv- ed the sanction of the govern ment and since it was originat- ed with an Arkansas woman, Arkansas is to be permitted to try it and set the pace for the rest of the states. About 50 delegates from all parts of the state were present at this meet ing. There will be a Director for each county, as we'll as a State Director, MT. c. K. Elliott
 Sunday, August 4th, is set for all the school directors and workers to meet in the Metho- dist church at McCrory and lis ten to an explanation of the plan. We will then go back to our respective districts and put it over, and Woodruff coun ty is going over the top.
 Each person who wishes to become a member of this move mentf pledges himself to give a bushel of the most abundant crop they may raise. The bushels of cotton seed, corn, potatoes or other seed will be sold in the county in which they are contributed and the proceeds will be forwarded to Gen. Lloyd England, treasurer, and by him sent to the national fund, which will be admins tered by a National Board of trustees. The fund is to be used for the benefit of the disabled soldiers and sailors of the Unit ed States and of the allies. It will be continued througout the duration of the war and five years thereafter. Let us put Woodruff county over the top. R. w. BECK,
 County Chairman.

PLANT FALL POTATOES
W.S

Almost anywhere in Arkan- sas a good crop of potatoes can be grown if planted as late as the first of August. Every one should be sure to have patch of fall potatoes for winter use, but if the early crop was dis eased the late potatoes should not be planted in the same ground. Many will find it very profitable to use fertilizer, and certainly the ground should be in good condition before plant ing. Late potatoes may take the place of four before next spring. Be sure that you have at least what you need for home use.

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB
 MEET IN McCRORY


 cultural Clubs of Woodruff County met in this city Tues day and if there are any who think that our agents, MT. R.. w. Beck and Miss Ruth An derson, have been asleep on the job and are not doing a wonderful work for the agri- cultural and other farming in terests in this county, they should attend just one of these live club meetings and they would surely think different.
 Early Tuesday morning au- tomobiles began to arrive from different parts of the county and they continued to come until the noon hour. Among the sections represented were i: Hunter, Gregory, Augusta, Riverside, McClelland, De- View, Bullville, Howell, Tip, Barnes, Revel, Grays and Jelks.
 The meeting was held in our large and beautiful Methodist church, where Mayor McCro- ry delivered the address of welcome as the opening num- Der on tn program. Misses Ida Tarpley and Della Jeffries rem dered several vocal and instru- mental slections and MT. H. K Sanders of Little Rock, who has charge of the Department of Animal Hunbandry, deliv- cred the principal address.
 Upon conclusion of the morning program the young sters were extended an invita- tion by MT. Beck, upon request of Editor w. w. Raney, to visit the Home News office and learn something about the modern method of typesetting and printing and to the delight of the News force, about one hundred visited our office where each was given a sou venir which consisted of a piece of linotype metal with his or her name thereon. Following their pleasant wis it to the News office they were driven in cars to the beautiful country home of MT. and Mrs. w. P. Musgrove, where a de- lightful dinner was spread on the ground and which was greatly enjoyed by the two hundred who attended.
 After the noon hour had passed, MT. Sanders gave the boys pig demonstration, and Miss Nell Mintun of Little Rock, District Home Demon stration Agent, gave a cottage cheese demonstration to the girls. MT. E. B. Whitaker, of Little Rock, District Club Agent, addressed the boys and told them in a very forceful way some of the things our government wants and Is de- pending upon them to do.
 The day wos highly enjoyed and will result in a great bene- fit being derived toward more and better crops, pigs, chick ems, and livestock for Wood ruff county and we are sure that everyone who attended is
