The Nation's Food Supply
The consumption of foodstuffs is
running ahead of the production.
The South alone offers to the na
tion the opportunity of meeting
this situation. For years the Man
ufacturers Record has proclaimed
that "the development of the South
means the enrichment of the na
tion.” To this may be added “the
development of the agricultural re
sources of the South means the
salvation of the nation from such
high prices for foodstuffs as would
ultimately bring national deteriora
tion.” This development therefore
becomes the nation’s problem.
When the last census was taken
New York and Pennsylvania had
4.010.000 head of cattle, valued
at $140,000,000, in an area of
94,330 square Tiiles, or an average
of 42'^ head per square mile. The
Carolinas, Georgia. Florida, Ala
bama. Mississippi and Louisiana,
with nearly four times as large an
area, had 5.760.000 head of cattle,
but they were valued at $72,000.
000. or just about one-half of the
value of^he small number in New
York and Pennsylvania.
These figures indicate very strik-!
ingly the need for raising more!
cattle and better cattle. Many!
cattle in the states of the South '
named are small, raw boned and of
small value, either lor milk or for |
beef. And vet the very finest cat-!
tie can be and are raised at a lower
cost than elsewhere. It is essen
tial, first, that a better breed of;
cattle shall be developed in this]
section to take the place of all
scrub stock cattle which yield a
larger return in milk and in meat,
and, next, that the number shall be
vastly increased. ___ , ,
The United States Department
of Agriculture in a recent bulletm !
puts the South's advantages fori
raising live stock ahead of those of
any other section of the country.
It says:
"The South is the only section
of the United States where cattle
can still be raised, fed and sold at a
profit at from five to six cents per;
pound.”
And then it points out how hogs
can be raised to advantage and
profit, and how poultry and poultiy
products can be largely increased, i
and suggests that ‘‘every farm
could maintain a larger and better
flock.” To these striking facts
about the South the Agricultural
Department adds:
A study of the statistical situa
tion in other countries does not dis
close where we are likely to obtain j
a large quantity of beef for an ex-1
tended period. It appears that
England alone could probably take
all of the foreign beef available for
export, to say nothing of the new
markets which are already being
found in other countries.”
The development of this vast
reg'on. and indeed of the whole
South, as a meat and general food
producing region, is of prime im
portance to every man. woman and
child in the country. Manufac

Sheriff J. M. Wallace for Re-f lection
We take pleasure this week in
placing in our announcement col- 1
umn that of Sheriff and Collector ;
J. M. Wallace as a candidate for
re-election to the office he is now
filling for the first term.
At present he has no opposition
and it is net probable he will have, j
as the Democratic principle of two i
terms for faithful service insur°s
his re-election. He is eminently
well qualified to fill both branches
of the office he is now serving h s
first term in, which is a fact well
known to all who know him or have
had dealings with him as an official. ^
He has made one of the best
[sheriffs the county has had in a
number of years and is entitled to
what he is asking for.

1 ness meeting we then attended to

extra effort to attend our next

The highest temperature record
ed for this section last month was
82 degrees on th ■ 18th and the
lowest was 32 degrees on the 1 Cth.
The only rainfall recorded was on
29th and 30th which amounted to,
two inches and five one hundredth. 1
The month as a whole was one of
the most pleasant in a number of j
years but was really to warm for
the season of the year.
Judge H. M. VanHook for Reflection.
In this issue of the News appears
the announcement of Judge W. M. j
Van Hook of El Dorado as a candi
date for reelection to the office of
to the action of the Democratic
primary.
When Judge VanHook went into
office on the first of November.
1910, the county debt was over
$53000. On the first Monday in
October, 1913, all indebtedness
was only about $8500. Last July
the financial statement of the
coun'.y clerk, showed the county
debt to be $4087.00. He told the
people in 1910, that if elected he
would jay the entire debt hanging
over the county in four years. He
has practically redeemed th t
pledge in three years and by the
first of next July the ccunty will
be on a cash oasis.
This is the second time that
Judge VanHook has put the county
practically out of debt and he will
appreciate very much filling the
office when there is no debt, that
he may use the money for public
improvements in interest of the
people, instead of paying debts.
He favors the establishment of a
home for the poor and will estab
lish one if reelected, in a way that
will be a great saving to the tax
payers.
He has built six steel bridges,
the first ever built in the county.
If elected again to this office, he
expects *o build at least eight more
steel bridges as soon as he can
reach them. The roads have been
greatly improved also and it is his
Intention to have them in shape
before long so that rural mail routes
may be established in this county
as in others of the state.
None can deny that Judge Van
Hook has made a faithful servant
of the people and he asks for re
election on his record and promises
to give the same attention to the
office in the future that he has in
the past and will appreciate your
vote at the coming primary.
Hunt's Lightning Oil
This is the liniment that has
caused so much talk. So many
people are telling ho v it has re
lieved them :f pain that one can1
no longer doubt that it is truly a
wonderful remedy. Every diurgist
handles it. i
Judge E. 0. Wahony for Re-Election
Judge E. O. Mahonv. the present
capable and efficient Prosecuting
Attorney of the 13th Judicial Dis
trict announces his candidacy for
re-election to a second term in
this issue of the News, subject, to
the will of the Democratic voters
next spring.
He is now serving his first term
and the Democratic custom of
a second term to faithful and capa
ble officials entitles him to what
he asks, as he has been both and
a terror to law breakers, regardless
of who they were. None can say
he has not ma e good in the office.
Judge Mahony was admitted to
the bar in 1 896 and he has been
actively ergaged in the practice
since that date. He served this
county as County Judge and during
his administration built the present
court house, and was the first
Chancery Judge of the 7lh Judicial
District, filling both offices faith
fully.
Judge Mahony. in an open lette'. j
sari; "I realize that the great ma
jority of the people of this district
want a Prosecuting Attorney who
is capable and will vigorously en
force the criminal law? of thr
State, anu if I am ejected I propo: o
to put that much of my life, wilh
all the strength and power that I
have, into the fulfillment of my
promise and see that the maj jsty
of the law is upheld and that it is
executed regardless of who the
lawbreakers may be.”
Since taking the oath that is re
quired on becoming an official.
Judge Mahony has filled every
pledge made to the reople. In the
performance of his duty as prose
•QutefJie knows oeiMwur iftead
enemy; and all receive the same
treatment as required by law.
Judge Mahony prosecutes an inti
rrrte friend just as vigorously as
he does a person with whom he has
had no previous acquaintance. He
upholds the majesty of the law as
set forth by the powers that be.
He now comes before his con
stituency asking for re-election on
his past record and promises t<
continue doing his full duty in the
future as in the past and solicits
your support at the March primary.

Eight Bales On Seven Acres.
Does it pay to farm according to
the government demonstration
methods? Ask Newton Adams,
who lives about six miles west of j
Warren. His land was broken last
fall and the cotton was p'anted in ;
3 '2 feet rows, and about 20 inches
in the drill; ne used 350 pounds of j
commercial fertilizer to the acre.
He first ran his section harrow
cross wave the rows and then
choppy to a stand. He
then usfc^ spring- tooth c ltivator
and went over his crop s 2ven times
with it, taking fourteen hours to
each cultivation. He cultivated
his cotton in the late season when
his neighbors were eating water
melons? He gathered 1695 pou
nds of seed cotton to the acre,
making 8 bales averaging L 33
pounds to the bale. Does it pay
to farm according to government
instructions? Does 't? Warren
