to the boy who makes the best rec ord in both pig and corn club work. In other words, the boy who tries for the Wilson and Company trip must belong to both the corn club and the pig club. Boys trying for this trip must also send their name, age and address to the county farm agent or to Mir. Jernigan, by June 1.
 These are the most valuable prizes that. can be offered club boys and should create good inter- est among the boys of the state, says Mr.. Jcrnigan. "The boys who win these trips 10 Chicago will be properly chaperoned. Lets see who will be the first to send in his name and then let's see who will be the three lucky boys next fall."
 The record books of all boys competing for these three prizes must be in the office of the state club leader in Little Rock by No- vember 1 of this year. The record books must be filled in properly and witnessed by disinterested parties where such signature is called for.
 District corn club prizes are also being offered this year. H. c. Hastings and Company of Atlanta, Ga, is offering S10O to winning corn club members. This amount has been split into four parts of S25 each as there are only four districts in the state now so far as boys club work is concerned. Boys competing for this prize must have their name, age and address in the hands of their county agent or Mir. Jernigan by June 1 and must have their record books ready to hand in by November 1.
 A prize in cotton club work is be- ing offered to boys in the boil weevil section of Arkansas by the Southern Fertilizer Association of Shreveport, Louisiana. This amount is being divided into three prizes of $50, $30 and $20 for the three boys making the highest records. Cotton club boys wishing to try for these prizes must also have their names with the county agent or state club leader by June 1 and have their club record books ready to turn in by November 1.

POLK COUNTY FARMERS
 POOLED THIR COTTON

"The value of pooling cotton in warehouse by various growers in a community and then selling it comparatively in even running lots has been demonstrated by the Polk County Farm Bureau during the past season" says Edgar A. Hod- son, agent in cotton marketing dem onstrations, Agricultural Extension Division, University of Arkansas.
 Farmers are beginning to see that cooperation must be carried on by commodity and not by locality to reach it's greatest advantage, but this small demonstration by the Polk county farmers show that cooper ative sales even in a small way are better than individual selling. The following figures obtained from Q 500-bale capacity warehouse owned and operated by the County Farm Bureau of Polk County show to good advantage the value of CO., operative selliugs of cotton for the current season.
 "The capacity of the warehouse is 300 bales and cost $2,8O0. The Polk County Farm Bureau has handled 1929 bales through the warehouse, 36S of which have been sold co-operatively. On November 29 of last year 100 bales of strict middling were sold at 15.s4 cents a pound when on the same day strict middling was selling on the street in single bale lots at 14.75 cents pound.
 .Tbe oross gain from this 100 bales was $547.50 over the street price for single bales. Insurance and storage charges average $2 a bale, making a net gain of $347.50 or $3.47 a bale. The total net in- crease from the 368 bales sold through the warehouse over the street price for single bale lots on the dates of the cooperative sales was S1, ,672.90 or $4.27 bale after paying all insurance and stcEage

SIMPLE FERTILIZING DEVICE FOR SECURING HIGHER YIELDS

A simple device for securing good yields of melons and cucumber rs which can easily be made at home culturist, Agricultural Extension Division, University of Arkansas. The simple plan provides for both watering and fertilizing the plants.
 To make this device, take a bar rel (any kind) and bore three holes two inches from the bottom and at equal distances apart. Set the barrel in the garden where the cucumbers or melons are to be planted and plant the esed under each of the holes. Fill the barrel about two-thirds full of barnyard manure.
 During dry periods water should be poured into the barrel frequent ly so that the plants will get plenty of moisture and fertility. The water teaches through the manure and flows out through the bored holes into the soil around the plants. This furnishes water and plant food at one operation. During rainy wealth CT no attention is needed except cultivation.
 Several of these barrels may be placed in a row from six to eight feet apart. Not more than three plants should be allowed to develop in each hill under the holes as the added fertility which these plants will get assures a good yield. Gull tivation is made the same as if the plants were planted in the regular row system. Cucumbers and melons will yield heavy crops if grown in thiS rvau Mr Wnnlseu savs

not represent all of the benefits derived. If this lot of 368 bales had been left out in the weather until sold, as so frequently happens, the loss from damaged cotton would in all probability have averaged more than the net gain of $4.27 a bale. The greatest benefit of all is the experience of having sold portion of the crop in a system atic and business like manner by cooperation within the community"

It is also ad- visable to remove some of the weak CT canes during the summer. leav- ing four or five of the strongest to each hill.

DOLLAR DAY Is
MERCHANTS PLAN

A large number Of progressive
East Moline retail merchants met
last evening in the Chamber OF
Commerce rooms. 1t was decided
to sponsor a dollar day" in East
Moline next Saturday, March 10.
AS the proposition is more or less
OF an experiment in East Moline,
it was decided that the merchants
would cooperate in the advertising
scheme, and while they were try
ing the merits Of a dollar day to
keep home trade in the city, they
would also nave an opportunity to
test the advantages of collective
advertising.
The plan Of advertising, as dis
cussed at last nights meeting will
be to send out circular letters to
the citizens of East Moline as we'll
as the outlying districts.
The plan of dollar day is not
only to give the people Of East Mo-
line better values for their money
and an opportunity to. get acquaint-
ed with the spring stocks Of the
merchants, but to keep the home
folks from purchasing their sup
plies in other cities, at a loss to
both themselves and the home
