Miss Lela Dickson, Home Demonstra tion Agent. In our fight for better methods, bet ter crops and better prices, however desirable these may be, let us not for get that along with these, if rural life is to be developed to its best, must come attention to the matter of mak ing more beautiful and attractive the farm homes and their surroundings. We can all have flowers, shrubs and fruit trees at every home. Is there a home in your neighborhood with out these? If so, if you can interest them in these things, the better for your community. Shallow and level cultivation of corn and cotton is recommended by the State College of Agriculture. Mr. S. E. Davidson has purchased a nine-month-old registered Holstein bull of good breeding. Cow peas and soy beans may be planted until the middle of July. The white Spanish peanut can also. Read what the Farm Bureau is do ing in different parts of the county. We would like to have you as an act ive member. The premium list for a county fair is not made up yet, but one item will be a farm display not to consist of less than twenty-five products and of good quality. If you are a diversified farmer, show others you are. A patch of sweet potatoes would save you corn and shorts when you fatten your hogs this fall. We would like to have you try it. You cannot grow too many potatoes if you have plenty of hogs. Prepare now for your county fair. Ours is a rural county and farming our business. Nothing will do our people more good and improve our farm products faster than a live Farm Bureau and a county fair, where the people assemble once a year from all parts of the county and compare their corn; potatoes, peas, beans, tur nips, seeds, pigs, cows, calves, chick ens and meet each other and tell how you did it. Let’s put old Fayette on the map where she belongs. We are glad to have so many tell us their wheat is good. Are you preparing to sow an acre of alfalfa this fall? It produces the finest hay and does this wet years. Ask Mr. John T. Burch about his this year. Keep the home garden working all the time rather than for just a few weeks early in the spring. By plant ing a succession of crops, fresh vege tables may be had throughout the growing season and a canning period extended through the summer. Snap beans may be planted every two weeks until the first of August. Successive planting of sweet corn may be made until the middle of July. A few plants of New Zealand spinach will furnish green during the entire season. Keep dirt out of milk. Strain through cotton or filter cloth. Use only clean, sterile strainer cloths. The height of the canning season Will soon be here. If containers have not been secured get them at once. Make sure the tops and jars on hand are in good condition, and get a plen tiful supply of good rubbers. Can and dry a sufficient quantity of early fruits and vegetables for next winter’s use, and also make the necessary plans for putting up berry and fruit juices by laying in plenty of bottles, caps and other needed supplies. The house fly is the' filthiest crea ture in existence, yet man’s constant companion. The failure to employ modern meth ods of lightening labor in the house is a great hardship in many farm homes. LESS FIRE, LESS ICE. Entirely too many farm homes are not acquainted with the benefits of the fireless cooker and the iceless refrigerator. Both of these conven iences may be made at home with lit tle expense. Foods prepared in the fireless cooker are as good as those prepared on the stove, and the use of this convenience will save many i hours in the hot kitchen. The iceless ! refrigerator will keep milk, butter, j eggs, and vegetables much longer than in an ordinary temperature. Get in touch with your home demonstration agent and learn how these useful con veniences may be made at home. SUBSCRIBE TO THIS PAPER. GOOD CITIZENSHIP •»»»»»»«<<«««« A Bank account makes a good citizen. That’s a broad assertion, but it is universally true. A good citizen is one who is independ ent, self-supporting, and who does things con ducive to the best interest of the commun ity. The man who has a bank account is independent, he is thrifty, he is able to pay his way, and he contributes to the general wealth of his community. His funds are in circulation. He pays taxes and helps to make things go. Likewise a man who has money and property in a community is anxious to see that the community prosper. • We pull for the man with the bank account.
