this time of year should be put in such condition that the seeds will sprout quickly and the plants grow rapidly at the start.
 The crops available for early July seeding for hay and dry fodder are: Cowpeas, Spanish peanuts, California Blackeyed peas, Early Amber sor- ghum, and corn.
 Cowpeas-There is no cowpea seed on the market, but many farmers have seed and will SOW it as soon as they get their cotton out of the grass.
 Spanish Peanuts-Planted near Ft. Smith July II, matured crop and made good yield. Will pay to plant for hay even if no nuts mature.
 Plant in rows 30 inches apart, drop

one unshelled pod every 8 inches in the row. This takes two bushels of seed an acre. For work teams and cattle, Spanish peanut hay is excelled only by alfalfa.
 California Blackeyed Peas-One of our best, quick-growing hay crops, and are ready to harvest in 65 to 70 days from planting. There is plenty of seed. California grown seed is best for hay as it forms an upl 'ght plant, while Southern grown seed is likely to make a trailing plant. Plant in rows 30 inches apart, dropping single seeds 4 inches apart in the row. Re- quires 30 pounds seed an acre.

THRIFT A WAR HERITCAE
Congressman Howard, In Signed State ment, TeIls of Benefits of
 Saving.

Government securities afford the safest and most practical Investment in the world," said Representative William s. Howard. of Georgia. A War Savings Stamp is promisory note for s5 if redeemed at maturity, or of the original cost of the stamp plus accrued interest if redeemed be- fore maturity.
 Tt was only after America entered the great world conflict that the small wage earner fin this country has been atorded the opportunity of investing in government securities, of becoming co-partners with the government. That there are today more than 10000, 900 holders of government securities, as compared with 3,000,00O before the var, is fact which speaks for It. self.
 When you buy War Savings Stamp you are helping the govern ment. To be able to make a loan to, ne government. even as small as the sum represented by a War Savings Stamp, is proof of patriotism and aiso practical manifestation of that spirit of national thrift and individual savings which has come to us as 8 permanent heritage from the war"

 A wholesome and much needed les son has been taught the American people by the government in the vari- ous loan and thrift campaigns which have been launched within the past two years.
 The War Savings Stamp campaign should appeal especially to the salary and wage earner, man and woman, girl and boy, as an incentive to say ing and investment The War Say ings Stamp affords the readiest means of investment and the most frequent and largest returns in interest. AS a boy would have hailed with delight such an opportunity to invest my small earnings.
 As a word of business advice to the American boy and girl, would say: out of your earnings, save something each week and make your savings earn money for you by investing them fin War Savings Stamps.
