WHY NOT BE SAFE?
It will be the part of wisdom
on the part of every farmnr in
Arkansas to “play safe” this
year and grow enough feed for
all his stock and enough meat
and vegetables for his family for
a whole year, “Corn, Clover
and Contentment” and “Pigs,
Peas and Prosperity’’ will be
good slogans. If the European
war continues we can only mar
ket about ten million bales of
cotton and if farmers grow fif
neen million bales they may ex
pect to get about six cents for it,
less than it cost to grow it.
Plant a little more corn, larger
patches of peas, soy beans and
pernuts.and a larger field of Su
dan grass, and another acre of
sorghum,and a bigger garden,
and get another cow and a few
calves and a few more pigs and
oe safe, and then hold cotton un
til December or January. Whj
not ?

MEETING OF SCHOOL BOARD
Election of Teachers for Ensuing
Year in High School and
Grammar School —Abil
ity of Teachers.
At a meeting of the School
Board which was held Saturday
evening April 5th. they selected
the following teachers in the High
School.
Prof. Lee Marble Principle,
Mias Moss and Miss Higgin
botham.
Grammer School. Miss Alice
Bradford, Mrs. Jno. C. Munn,
Miss Jesse Ackers, Miss Verna
An Irews and Mrs. P. F. Chappell.
The Beard has not elected a
teacher for English in the High
School, Principle for Crammer
School or teacher for second
grade. The Board has decided
to add one morel teacher at the
High School next year for Eng*
lish. Prof. Hirst has secured with
the help of the patrons, a lyceurn
course for next year and has
shown his ability in superinten
ding a school.
Prof. Marble was reelected for
his third term, which is sufficient
to show that his ability a» a
Mathamatic teacher, is known.
He is a coach for all Athletics in
school, The playing of the foot
- ball team has proven him a com
petent coach. He is a leader
among the boys and af i iend to all.
Miss Moss was reelected as
; teacher, for foreign language and
History. It is doubtful if the
board after much l consideration
| could have elected a teacher so
competent for the place. She is
| broad in every field of the pres
j ent day events.
Miss Higginbothum who has
! oeen English and , expression
1 teacher for the past term has
*hown her ability for training in
t expression, also her broad knowl
j edge in English. Her success as
i expression teacher waslf shown
I n the excellent way the expres
sion pupils gave their play.
Miss Higinbothum will teach ex
pression in the High School and
Grammer School next year, also
talk drills for each school
The teachers of the Grammer
School were all reelected except
wo, which proves their ability,
It is doubtless whether the
Board could ever selected a
Faculty, which will work more
i in harmony than the ones elect
| cd.
Unity and Harmony has exist
ed among the faculty and be
tween the School Board and the
patrons.
The above selection of teaeh
■rs for the schools of Prescott
; proves the Board are going to
nave the best of teachers.

No. 5. Organic Mattor.
By lie K. Hungerford, Assistant Ag
ronombt, I'niversity of Arkansas
The organic matter of the soil Is
that tiart which has been derived from
the decay of {Hants Whan the leaves,
blades of grass, stems and roots of
plants die they are at once attached
by molds and bacteria The dead
vegatiou gradually decomposes or dis
integrates until the original appear
ance and structure is lost and the
material becomes a dark colored
shapeless mass, called humus.
Effect of Organic Matter on the Soil.
Organic matter is beneficial to both
sandy and clay soils, but in different
ways A clay soil without organic
matter is too sticky and compact The
organic matter loosens it, permitting
the surplus water to drain away and
allows air to penetrate to the roots
of the crop On the other hand, sandy
soils are too loose and open Water
drains away too rapidly and too much
air is permitted to enter.
Effect of Organic Matter on Moieture.
Bandy soils that are well supplied
with organic matters are more reten
tive of moisture than if lacking in that
substance The large space* between
the sand permit the water to draw
away so rapidly that it Is soon lost
and the soil dries out. If these space*
are filled with organic matter the
water meets more opposition in It*
downward movement, consequently 11
remains for a longer time In the roar
occupied by the plant roots The fact
that organic matter is exceedingly
porous adds to Its water holding
power. This is shown clearly by ex
perlments showing that 100 pound* ol
straw will take up 200 pounds of wa
ter whereas the same amount of sand
will hold only twenty-five pounds, and
100 pounds of peat soil, which con
slats entirely of humus, will take uj
from 600 to 1,000 pound* of water.
Clay soils do not need to have then
water holding capacity increased be
cause they are naturally very renten
tive of moisture, such soils are sr
compact, however, that the roots havt
difficulty in penetrating deeply intr
the subsoil. Consequently the crop>
are likely to be shallow rooted Tta<
surface soil dries out quickly and th(
I crop suffers. This accounts for th<
fact that crops often suffer frorr
l drought on clay lands sooner than or
; more sandy soils If organic matter i
supplied to clay soils the crop wil
i root deeper as a n suit of 11.>■ mon
open structure end therefore wil! b<
able to utilize the moisture stored it
the sul soil and can insist drought
Organic Matter and Plant Food.
Organic matter not only improve
the physical condition of soils am
aids moisture control, but ft also con
tains a large amount of nitrogen ant
other plant feeds in an available form
When the organic matter decays the
plant food can he used by the sue
pppiilmr prnn*
Soils That Need Organic Matter.
The soils of the South ;irr>. us i
rule, deficient in organic matter be
cause the high temperature of tht
summer seasons causes decompositior
to take place very rapidly This ten
doncy Is counteracted to a certain ex
tent on the (reek and river botton'
• oils by the fact that the large
amount of vegetation produced hai
caused a large* supply of organic inst
ter to be stored up. Continuous crop
ning to corn and cotton, however
soon exhausts this original supply s'
that even the rich hottom soils he
cotne depleted after twenty five or
thirty years The presence of an
abundance of organic matter is
shown by a black or dark brow n color
extending several inches below the
surface. A lack of organic matter is
shown by a light gray or ted color.
Methods of Increasing Organic Mat
ter Content of the Soil.
The amount of organic matter In
the soil can he increased by applying
barnyard manure, by turning under a!'
t!n> corn and cotton s'ubbs stubble
from grain, sod of meadows and bv
turning under green crops The sub
ject of manures will In treated in
another lesson The pract ice of turn
ing under green crops is < ailed
"green manuring' Where few live
stock are kept Ibis is an excellent
means of adding organic matter to tin
soil, the crops used for this purpose
include cow peas, sox beans, clover,
rye, oats and xxlies'. The first thre
mentioned, i e.. peas, beans *r.
clover, are legumes and are capable
of taking nitrogen from the air and
putting it into the soil. They do tills
with the help of bacteria living on
their roots.
