Smart high school girls are ac-
enting their summer sportswear
with mercerized cotton stockings.
Styled in links, cables, and ribbed
creations, these novel over-knee
stockings are done in pastel shades
to match cotton frocks. The Na-
tional Cotton Council predicts that
this'current summer vogue will
lead to winter use of knee-length
cotton hose by girls in both gram,
mar and high schools. The Council
has medical support for its claim
that there “is no clothing that
makes less sense than a school
girl trudging through cold and
snow with bare legs from ankle to
knees.”

The whole purpose of the farm
program, in essence, is to help
farmers achieve this American
standard of living.
“Improvement in Farm Homes,"
and “Help to Farm Families” were
two thoughts discussed by Mrs.
Carl Turner at the regular meet-
ing of Hobbs H. D. Club at the
club house June 23.
“Putting Abundance to Use" was
well considered by the club, as
Mrs. R. C. Everett presented the
subject. The club voted to send
the president, Mrs. A. M. Ander-
son, to the short course at A. and
M. College.
Eleven old members, one visitor,
Mrs. Addle Lancaster, with two
new members, Mrs. Love Davis and
Miss Idilla Boyd were present.
The club now has 22 members.
Mrs. Davis explained some new
rulings on mattress making. The
club enjoyed a reading by little
Jerry Tom Hobbs, and a lively
game. Introduction, during the
recreation period.
Club meet July 8 at the club
house with Mrs. Ketty Hobbs as
howtess, and Mrs. Ernest Brown
as leader. Subject to be considered
fo "Bural Church.” Some excellent
material on this will be given.

and cases, and mattress and spring
protectors. By using the sack for
these articles, more can be spent
on the essentials that must be
bought.
Besides conveying sacks into use-
ronomist, stated that Persian clover
first appeared in that country in
1927, following a gigantic Missis-
sippi river flood. Persian clover
seed floats in water; is contained
in a small air-filled pod, and is
easily scattered by flowing water;
clover seed of most any variety
will lie dormant under several feet
of soil for years, and then when
exposed to the surface will germin-
ate and grow. Wherever new leaves
are built around river banks, clo-
ver of several varieties suddenly
spring up on the high banks of
dirt which were dug from the deep
ground. Bee hives were seen scat-
tered under the pecan trees, serving
as a pollenating agent for the
clovers.
White Dutch blooms in a large
cluster of upright pods, and when
A twenty-five cent can of white
paint, four yards of lavender check
, print, and an old washstand plus
effort on the part of Doris Stout,
4-H club bedroom demonstrator of
Bethel Club, has resulted in an at-
tractive dressing table. Doris be-
gan by applying three coats of
white paint to the forty year old
washstand. Next, a ruffled skirt
was draped cn the stand and a
mirror hung above it. For a stool
to complete the dressing unit, the
top of a nail keg was padded with
cotton and a ruffled skirt added
of the same material as that used
on the dressing table.
Besides the dressing table, Doris
has made a lavender and purple
hooked rug. The rug was made
on a closely woven gunny sack
using strips of dyed fertilized
sacks.
In order to carry on her bed-
a bloom is pollenated it turns down ,
and dies. Thus, one may see some
ded and some green bloom pods
on the same bluster. The blooms i
are white, and the leaves are rich
green with white circles through
them. The stems are tender, and
are thickly studded with tri-clus-
ter leaflets. Yellow hop clover is
small stemmed with small leaves
of a paler color, and has very
small yellow blooms. It contains
less water than white Dutch, and
grows much thicker. Persian clo-
ver has lavender-orchid blooms
less than one-half inch in dia-
meter growing on the top of a
tall, small hollow stem. The leaves
bear some resemblance of lepedeza
leaves, and grow into ovated, triple
leaflets.
Scattered throughout this pasture
was seen in addition to Persian,
white Dutch, yellow hop, carpet,
Dallis, and Bermuda other clovers
including spotted lear bur and Cali-
fornia bur. These clovers and grs-
ses are adaptable to all East Texas
and East Oklahoma except the
deep, soft sandy land. Clovers are
sown on the sod in September and
October. It is better to sow on the
sod than to make the seed bed.
There are two varieties of yellow
hop clover; one is known as? low
hop, and one as little hop. Low hop
is the large variety of yellow hop,
Low hop is the tallest variety;
gets high enough to mow; little
hop is too little.

(Note: This is the beginning of
a series of 36 weekly articles writ-
ten by Mr. Finch who recently
toured many of the best farms of
Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkan-
sas studying clover and special pas-
ture grasses with a group of Unit-
ed States department of agriculture
officials. Mr. Finch served as re-
porter for the study tour, pursu-
ant t0 which he has made avail-
able for publication the observa-
tions of those experts on modern
agriculture).
Leaving Alexandria in the morn-
ing of May 12, we visited the first
clover farm 15 miles south of
Alexandria at Forest Hill, Louis-
ana. En route we passed the Unit-
ed States army camp at Claiborne,
where it was stated that about
90,000 soldiers were encamped.
There were teepees glimmring un-
der the sun, fading far away in-
to the distance under a hazy low
Louisiana ky. Men were seen out
spraying the countryside adjacent
to the highway with some sort of
disinfectant as a precautionary
health measure.
Visited the L. D. Short farm;
152 acres, 76 acres in cleared pas-
ture, with the balance woods land;
no cultivated land; rainfall 50
inches. This is strictly a grass farm,
operated as such since 1924. Milks
12 cows, and in addition hag about
20 calves and other cattle. Mr.
Short stated that he sold 95 tons
of hay in 1936, and 65 tons in
1940 at an average price of about
$10.00.
Squawking bull bats were seen
dodging through the sky in the
early morning to tell us that it
was a low country of heavy humi-
dity; tree frogs were croaking in
their own language to celebrate the
glory of a rare sunlit day. At 9:00
a. m. the dairy cows were seen ly-
ing in the shade, which meant to
us that possibly two hours grazing
on the fine clover meadow had
given them an early fill, for grass
and clover were abundant in many
fancy varieties. No cultivated crops
are produced on this farm, and as
the early morning sun beamed in
and out of the clouds, we had
visions of early days when rural
people lived off the natural glory
of the land.
Mr. and Mrs. Short, strong,
healthful and vivacious, were eager
to tell our exploring party of their
adventures in pasture farming and
the success they had achieved
through the years, making liveli-
hood for the family along with
satisfying their inherent desire to
set up a new way-of-life, living
far back in the rural lands where
freedom and happiness abound
amidst nature’s graciousness.
Mr. Short stated that the land
was cleared, otherwise unimproved;
never plowed up; contoured, fertil-
ized with 500 pounds of basic slag
per acre 14 years ago. Basic slag
is a by-product of steel, a product
of the Tennessee Valley Authority,
shipped in from Birmingham, Ala-
bama, and is composed of about 50
per cent lime and about 12 per
cent phosphate. About 10 pounds of
seed per acre was sown on top of
the grund on a native sod of car-
pet and sage proportionately of
the following clover varieties: white
Dutch and Persian. The Dallis
grass, yellow hop, common lespe-
deza, and other clovers were seed-
ed from grazing without ever be-
ing sown. A good stand was pres-
ent, with the clovers predominat-
ing in this order: (1) yellow hop;
(2) white Dutch; (3) common les-
pedeza; (4) Dallis grass. It was
stated that In this climate of mild
winters which seldom see weather
below freezing, white Dutch clover
furnishes grazing throughout the
winter season except at below
freezing intervals. Throughout the
summer if it rains normally white
Dutch furnishes grazing, especial-
ly in moist and shady places.
Mr. Short stated that he had
never lost a cow from bloating;
that in case of bloat, a stick about
the size of a corn cob is placed
crosswise in the cow’s mouth, held
in place by a head stall in the
fashion of a bridle, with the stick
serving as the bits. This causes
the cow to forego a series of heav-
ing and belching movements which
