Cy Adams Says—

The best way in the world to help cure a spell of the blues is to hunt up some fellow with more troubles than you have and help him out a little.

The community isn't any better because of the man who always says he can get along without any help or advice from his neighbor.

One of the best ways to beat the boll weevil when he comes is to grow more cotton than he can eat. Leave the cotton plants thick in the row. The Arkansas Experiment Station has found this to be the most profitable practice.

Lee county, Arkansas, is on the road to independence because she will have 10,000 acres in Lespedeza in 1925, which will grow enough hay to feed all her livestock.

Sometimes you may think you are working in vain but remember that experiment is always worth something.

Every man must work out his own salvation, as the saying goes, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't show any interest in how he is getting along with the job.
