with a loan from the Farmers
Home Administration is now the
proud wearer of the "100-Bushel
Corn Club" pin according to Guy
r. Ford, FILA County Supervisor.
Norwood earned this distinction for
having produced 100 bushels of
corn on one acre.
There are only three members
in the 100-Bushel Corn Club at
the present time in Pulaski Coun-
ty. Two additional colored farm
ownership borrowers are likely to
become members before the year
is out. Both produced more than
rs bushels of corn per acre last
year.
A similar plan is being follow
ed by all three corn club mem
bers in the county. They plant a
GRO of cow peas or soy peas or
soy beans, turning it under as a
cover crop in the fall. The land
is then broken and disced three
times in winter and spring to
prepare a good seed bed. They
plant hybrid seed corn during
the last week in March or the
first week in April using about
200 pounds of fertilizer per acre.

The Road To
Health Poison
Ivy
By C. A. Lawlah, NJ. D., Pine
Bluff, Ark, For AMP

My friends four-year old son
recently got himself into some
serious trouble by deliberately set
ting out to get himself a poison
ivy lash.
On the street where Bobby
lives is a large, wooded area.
Since early spring, the neighbor-
hood cchildren had played there
every day, and, not long ago,
every one of them, except Bobby,
got poison ivy. The sourcec of
the trouble was traced to the
woods.
Bobby's mother at first was
thankful her child had miracu-
lousy escaped. But a few days
later she was Mortified to see a
severe rash on Bobby's face, arms
and legs. One of the other chill
dren had pointed out the poison
ivy plant to him in the woods,
warning him against it, but Bob
by went back later and actually
rolled in the foliage to get a
rash 'like the other kids"
Bobby's rash was severe and
his mother brought him to the
dactor without delay. Wit
proper treatment, the rash was
cleared up in about two weeks,
but Bobby was a nightly uncom-
Portable little boy during that
time. Young as he is, he has
learned his lesson.
AS summer rolls around, many
people, especially children with
their tender skins, suffer from
poison Wy rashes. Those who go
on hike sand picnics should know
what the poison iv yplant looks
like. Children who are taught
to recognize and be on the alert
for poison ivy can avoid days of
extreme discomfort which contact
with the plant usually causes.
Poison ivy is fairly easy to
recognize. It's leaves are green
