 Farmers OF Colbert County
By H. FoNrAINE LITTLE

Sheffield. December 27.-(SpeciaL) ) Agricultural enterprise in Colbert county was given a big boost this week when 15 fine Duroc-Jerse brood sows were received here and under q pig club plan of the Sheffield National bank were allocated to 15 well known farmers of the county The hogs were fine specimens, weighing on an aver age of 400 pounds each, and the cost to the bank was $200 to $400 each. The hogs range from A. to months of age, and are all registered stock. They were secured from the Eastern Arkan- sas demonstration farm at Blackton, Ark.
 The Sheffield National bank, through it's progressive cashier. E. w. Mcleod, in conjunction with Capt. L. s. Deal, county farm agent, conceived the idea of bringing these hogs of registered breed to Colbert county. Under the terms of the banks plan. the gifts are furnished to the farmers without cost. excepting that from the first litter of pigs the farmer is required to return two gilts at the age os I0 months.
 Captain Deal is hignry pleased with the plan that has been put into effect by the local bank. and he believes that it means the beginning of greater farming enterprise and diversification in this section. Not only will the farm CTS favored by the bank in it's scheme be benefited, but it is certain, believes MT. Deal, that other farmers, seeing the pecuniary reward to be derived from raising fine. regis tered stock, will be quick to substitute the better stock for the common, Tnprofitable stock.
 Among the progressive farmers of this county whd were designated by the local bank to receive an animal of

sPECKED APPLE EATERS


Until l was man, grown, and
got. sense enough to buy red apple
at fruit stand and eat it at once,
/ never knew what it was to have a
good sound APPLE" said the man ~
fifty-five. MY old Dad always
bought barrel of apples every win
ter, and stuck it in the celler. Then
it was my job to pick them over
every week. and l brought up the
specked ones or the ones with a soft
spot in the side and we ate those,
because they wouldn't keep. Result.
we always were eating poor apples
while the good ones down cellar in
the barrel were getting spoiled in
their turn"
We may laugh at it. as sample of
old-fashioned economy, but is 1t so
old fashioned after all? Don't most
OF us spend a good deal Of time eat
ing the specked apples Of life when
We might just as we'll enjoy the
fresh fruit?
There is the housewife who will
not leave her busting to go and rest
her soul at good play, for feal
someone will come in and see hel

for she has become too in-growing
too numbered with the cares Of hel
household to be interesting, so sh,
loses out both ways.
There is the business man whit
needs a vacation but will not tax,

There are the people who den

what they get, but by what the
spend.
