Commissioner Bradford’s Report.
Commissioner of Agriculture II.
T. Bradford says in part in his be
ennial report:
“I recommend that the statutes he
so changed as to provide, either an
nually or biennially, for the collec
ton of statistics showing the number
of acres in cultivation in each tract
of land on the tax books, the number
of acres in each kind of farm crop,
by each taxpayer, and the quantity
and value of mined and manufactured
product and produce of t.ho forest,
aud such other information embodied
regularly in nur reports, and system
atically distributed, we would acquire
greatly increased immigration from
the older states, of such a character
as would greatly hasten the develop
ment of our state.
“There has been a constant effort
on the part «f the bureau of mines,
manufactures and agriculture of this
state to furnish such advertising mat
ter for immigration purposes aa the
meager appropriations would admit,
admit, and the eighth biennial report
has been prepared with a view of in
terest to them, and to inform the
world of the conditions as they exist
in Arkansas today."
