Corn Club Winners* Camp.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, June 9.—Profes
sor Jernigan, who has charge
of the Boys’ Corn and Cot
ton Club work in Arkansas, is
now working upon a two weeks’
encampment which is to be held
by the winners in the different
counties in Little Rock from
August 11 to 23.
This encampment is being fi
nanced by a Little Rock fertiliz
er concern, which will supply the
lents, bedding and food for the
150 boys who will attend. In
the counties where there are
both corn and cotton clubs, the
1913 winners in each club will ,
Suggestions For Stock and
Crops.
In the mail today was a letter
f*'om a man in Nebraska. To the
letter was pinned a clippingfrom
a paper in California about this
department and what we are
’rying to do in Arkansas. This
Nebraska gentleman writes that
he wants 360 acres of Arkansas
land for himself and son, and
that they purpose to raise alfal
fa and hogs. Those are the kind
of people to build up the state.
Let us hope that more such men
may be attracted to Arkansas
a’ld raise alfalfa and hogs.
There is nothing that will beat
this combination, except to add
soy beans, cow peas and Span
ish peanuts. Every forty acre
farm in Arkansas will support a
large family in comfort and give
them all the advantages of edu
cation etc., if utilized in grow
ing these crops and hogs, and
milk cows to consume them.
Try a few hogs, and a few acres
of alfalfa, soy beans and cow
peas and peanuts. You will be
convinced.
Speaking ol hogs reminds us
that now is the time to begin to
look after them. The hot weath
er is here, and they need shade
and pure water. Start in time
and look after these things.
Give the hogs plenty of charcoal.
Also salt and sulphur, where
they can get all they want.
Keep some pasture for them if
you can, and do not let them run
in the woods where they may be
exposed to the cholera. Take a
few burlap sacks and wrap them
around posts or trees and nail
them there. Then pour coal oil
on the sacks. Let the hogs get
to them and they will rub
against the oiled sacks, and thus
keep themselves from lice. If
you can’t do this, then dip or
spray them and kill the lice. If
you don’t the lice may kill the
hogs.
Look after the cows now and
give them some feed if they are
giving milk. It will pay by in
creasing the milk yield. Good
milkers should have good atten
tion. If they do not get it they
soon fall back in yield and are
no longer good milkers. The
poor milkers should be turned
into beef without delay.
Do not neglect your hay crop.
Put in peas enough for hay if
you haven’t anything else. Now
is the time to cultivate. The
weather is hot, the plants will
grow, and moisture is needed.
Keep stirring the top soil, only
three inches deep. Kill the
weeds and grass and make a
dust mulch by shallow cultiva
tion. That will retain the mois
ture and make the crop grow
and stand the drowth if one
comes.

Sommissioner of Agriculture.
be chosen as representatives or
the county. Where there are
only corn clubs, the first and se
cond prize winners will make the
trip. There are a few counties
in which no corn or cotton clubs
carried out the yearly schedule,
but provisions will be made for
caring for them, as arrange
ments have been made to care
for 150 boys.
The University of Arkansas
agricultural college corps has
been recruited for the purpose
of lecturing to the boys on ani
mal husbandry, the use of fer
tilizers, and a general short
course of lectures on corn and
cotton.
The camp will be in Poorest
Park, and the plans are to make
it an ideal one. The tents will
be arranged under government
supervision, and the students
will be required to keep their
tents in order as though they
were soldiers. This is the only
military feature there will be to
the camp life.
Social features will be arrang
ed for the boys during their two
weeks’ stay, and it is probable
that Little Rock merchants will
provide a field day, with appro
priate prizes for the boys.
The gathering will be the first
of its kind in the Southwest, and
1*3 expected to be of great assist
ance to the youthful farmers.
The winners of prizes at the
State Farm, and the sweep
stakes prizes in all counties, will
for the first time come together
to tell each other how they suc
ceeded in taking prizes.
If it can be arranged, the win-!
ners of the Girls’ Canning Clubs .
will be brought to Little Rock to j
spend a day with the boys.

More Corn And Alfalfa.
Special to Independent.
Spokane, Washington, June 8.
—In an effort to prevent the an
nual importation into the Spok
ane country of $40,000 worth of
agricultural products, the busi
ness men of Spokane will com
mence this fall a three-year cam
paign for more corn, alfalfa,
poultry, hogs and dairying in
tne tributary territory.
Professor Perry G. Holden,
the famous Iowa corn expert,
has been engaged to direct the
work, which will cover eastern
Washington, northern Idaho,
southeastern British Columbia,
northeastern Oregon and West
ern Montana.
Under the leadership of the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce,
an organization of 1,200 busi
ness men, a series of “alfalfa au
tomobile trains” will be run in
all directions from Spokane next
October, to carry the message of
alfalfa growing from the towns
directly to the farmers’ homes,
school houses and fields. There
after the campaign will be di
rected toward bringing about
more corn growing anu nog, cai
tle and poultry raising.
“The states of Washington,
Oregon, Idaho and Montana an
nually import $29,000,000 worth
cf packing house products and
enough other things, such as
dairy products, poultry and eggs,
to swell the total to $40,000,000”
spates President Charles He’b
berd of the Chamber of Com
merce. “We ought to be rais
ing all these things right here
in the Spokane country, where
we have every requisite for their
successful production. In many
sections of this country our
farmers are demonstrating that
soil and climate are adapted to
the growing of corn and alfalfa,
and the large importation of
dairy products, cattle, poultry,
eggs and hogs makes the mark
et a splendid one.
“By carrying the proper kind
of messages to the farmers, and
with Professor Holden at the
head of the work, we feel that
the few thousand dollars we
shall put into the work will be
repaid by the increased prosper
ity that is sure to follow.”
EASILY DECIDED.
This Question Should Be Ans
wered Easily by Newport
People.
Mrs. Laura Mink, R. F. D. No.

was particularly noticeable just
after I had been doing my house
work. There was pain in my
loins which came on suddenly.
My back ached terribly and I was
driven almost frantic. I had
heal'd so many people praise
Doan’s Kidney Pills that I final

Store (Now Walker’s Pharmacy)
True to their reputation, this one
box cured me. I have not had
to use a kidney remedy since
then. It gives me pleasure to re

What John H. Dye Says of
Brundidge.
I have personally known
White County’s most popular
and most distinguished citizen,
Hon. Stephen Brundidge, from
his young manhood. I also had
the pleasure of an intimate ac
quaintance with his highly re
spected father and mother.
With his hosts of friends, I have
observed with pride and pleas
ure the rising tide of his grow
ing popularity and usefulness,
both in the state and nation. It
is claimed by his friends, and
conceded by his enemies, that
Arkansas has never had an abl
er representative in the Nation
al Congress. And as Prosecut
ing Attorney, he had but few
equals and no superiors. He is
fully as forceful and convincing,
and as pleasing and persuasive
as an advocate, as he is effective
as a prosecutor. His brilliant
career as a statesman, his emi
nence as an exponent of consti
tutional law, his high character,
his imperial intellect, his daunt
less courage and his utter abhor
rence of machine politics have
combined to make him the fav
orite of the people.
On important occasions, polit
ical, educational or religious,
Presbyterian Synods, Methodise
Conferences or Baptist Associa
tions, our gifted friend and ea
gle orator, Judge Brundidge, is

quests. He was their spokes
man when William J. Bryan and
Bishop Hendrix were here last.
It is a safe prediction that the
v/isdom of his administration
will be ample justification of the
overwhelming majority his
friends confidently claim the
people will poll for him in the
approaching election.
Mr. Brundidge is not a mem
ber of any church, but has a
high regard for all of them, and
is a liberal supporter of them.
His father died a member of the
Baptist church, and he has a
brother who has been a minister
of that church for twenty years.
His father-in-law, W. H. Morris,
of Newport, buried here last
Sabbath, was a member of the
Methodist church.
