HOW Club Work Helped a Tenant Farmer's Son. We've
often heard it said that where there's a will there's a way.
Reuben Forman had the will and he found the way. Being
a tenant's son didn't keep Reuben down. That's one of the
beauties of club work, as it is being conducted by county farm
and home demonstration agents. Through it, every farm boy,
every farm girl has a chance for attainment. We dare say,
Reuben, the tenant's son, will be one of the leaders in his
classes at the college of agriculture. Page 16

anybody who, tells you that cooperative marketing will under

Organic Matter and Fertilizers Increase Crop Yields. Mr.
David Long, author of this article, is a soils expert of long ex
perience. He takes all of us to. task for the common fault of
just seeing one thing at' a time. He very aptly points out
that organic matter in the soil is necessary if we wish to get
full value from the use of fertilizers and that fertilizers are
necessary to get full benefit x)f the organic matter we put into
the soil. The Virginia experiments help us to see the necessity
for both factors combined .Page 10
Livestock Suggestions for September. "Seeding the crops that
are to supply any green feed the livestock will have during the
late fall, winter; and early spring, and the saving of the feeds
on which the livestock will be ;fed are the lines of work of chief
interest to the livestock grower during the next two months,"
says Tait Butler .. ............. . ..... Page 3
