COTTON CLUB MEMBERS
 SHOULD USE BEST SEED

Cotton club members should use as much care in selecting cotton seed for planting their club acre as they do in the selection of their pig or calf, advises Edgar A. Hod- son. agent in cotton marketing demonstrations of the Agricultural Extension Division, University of Arkansas.
 "A pig club member wouldn't think of entering contest with a Duroc-Jersey," says Mr. Hodson. razor back against a registered Neither should the cotton club members think of entering a con- test with any seed except the best that can De obtained from stand ard variety.
 By good cotton seed is meant seed of a standard variety which mas produced good acre yields and desirable type of staple. Good cotton seed is that which has been selected and bred up by the grower to produce all the desirable quail ties within the variety. It should be made point to produce variety that will grow staple longer than one inch. Long staple sells for more than the short staple and costs no. more for production, conse- quently the man who raises short staple cotton is not getting the greatest possible return from his Investment.
 Locally grown seed are very likely to be mixed with other va rieties and will lack the uniformity that should be sought for unless | special care has been taken when ginning to see that there has been no admixture of other varities. A plan that is suggested to club mem bers in securing pure seed for plant l ing is as follows;
 Request your county agent to arrange for all cotton seed for all cotton club members in the county and ask that all the seed be pro- cured at one time from the same source. It should be possible to | secure some local business organiza- tion to advance the money with proper security to pay for the seed. The club members should be re- quired to give a note promising to return to the business organiza- tion in the fall enough seed to pay for that which was used in plant | ing.
 Cotton from the various club acres should be carefully weighed in the fall and pooled in order to get it ginned by itself to avoid mix ing with cotton commonly grown in 1 the vicinity. After all the club cotton has been ginned it should then be sold together and if va riety producing a superior staple has been selected a premium should be received for it.
 This method in handling the club cotton will give practical oppor. ] tunity for cooperative buying and selling, first by buying the. seed to,

SEED BED IMPORTANT FACTOR
 IN SUCCESSFUL GARDENING

"The preparation of the seed bed for the initial planting is one of the most important factors in successful vegetable gardening and one that is too often neglected says ". C. Woolsey, Horticulturist of the Agri- cultural Extension Division, Univer- sity of Arkansas.
 Deep blowing, through harrow ing and pulverizing of the soil and in most cases competing should be the rule of every grower. Small seed will serminate poorly in loose, cloddy soil and growth after ger mination will be slow and weak. A good, loose friable soil furnish es the best medium for the roots to develop properly.
 Small gardens will generally be spaded and raked by hand. In this case it is necessary to spade deep ly and to rake the land the same day it is spaded. This allows for better breaking of the clods and the conservation of moisture.
 ''The larger garden is generally plowed. The land should be plowed eight or ten inches deep and the surface narrowed the same day. It is a good practice to harrow the surface again just before planting and then run a plank drag over 1t to produce smooth seed bed"

From Columbus, Wis, comes 9 story of how members of Lange- 0strander Post of the American Le- zion aided a member of the pest when his blacksmith shop was de- stroyed by fire. Twenty-four hours after the fire, post members met and voted unanimously to help their buddy rebuild the shop. Le- zion doctors, dentists lawyers, merchants and trade union mem bers worked for three days, under the direction of carpenter members of the post, and the result was a much better establishment for the unfortunate ex-service man. During the progress of the work, a local bakery provided the toilers with food.
