Arkansas and the Live Stock Industry.—Why
it Pays to Raise Live Stork.
The number of people in the
United States in the year 1907
was 87.178,958. In 1913 there
are 96,765,573. The number of
cattle in the United States in 1907
was 72.534.000. The number in
1913 is 56,527,000. The popu
lation is constantly increasing while
the number of cattle to supply thai
population is constantly decreasing.
The South only can change these
figures.
Arkansas has a land area of 33,
616,000 acres. Only 8.076,254
acres of which are improved farm
land. In other words, there are a
least 20.000.000 acres of land in
Arkansas that can be in part or en
tirely devoted to live stock raising.
Turned out fields, the decrease in
the number of cattle and hogs, the
steady increase in population, and
the wonderful adaptability of Ark
ansas to the industry, calls to our
minds very forcibly the importance
olive stock on a well regulated
soutnern farm. Arkansas steers
and Arkansas hogs have topped the
market in St. Louis and Omaha a
great many times during the season,
and yet so few have specialized on
cattle and hogs. They will pay.
In 1910 the average price of hogs
for the United States was $6.86,
and in 1900 it was $3 69. The
price of the steer has been advanc
ing each year. With all these ad- •
vantages added to the stock raising
industry, yet the opportunities have ;
not decreased in Arkansas. We
have plenty of surplus land, plenty
of water, plenty of grass and range,
and land that will grow any kind of
a feed crop that is desired. Mar
ketable cattle can be produced in
any section of Arkansas for from
three to three and a half cents per
pound. About 45 per cent of the
land in Arkansas is under fence
but not near that amount is under
cultivation. All of the idle land
should be given to live stock farm
ing. The cost is little.
The opportunities for all kinds
of live stock farming that we have
in Arkansas now cannot be found
in another State in the Union. It
is not necessary to slaughter the
calves to make money out of live
stock now. The number of calves
decreased from 1,418,961 in 1900
to 822.170 in 1910. The Sonth
in the future is the center of the
live stock industry, and Arkansas
is a part of the South that is ideally
adapted to its new position.
And another thing 1 would have
you remember is. that the number
of people is increasing every year
but that the number of acres of
land is not increasing. So my ad
vice is to be slow to part with your
land if it is good. If it is part good
and part poor, raise live stock and
live stock crops and build the poor
land up. Live stock farming must
be mastered in the South for the
future. Why not Arkansas? Live
stock will pay.

Diamond Mines in Arkansas.
No great advances are report
ed in diamond mining in Arkansas
during 1912.
Several dozen diamonds were
found and several diamond-washing
plants were constructed for opera
tion in 1913.
It has been practically impossible
to determine the quantity and value
of the diamonds found in the Ark
ansas field since the first discovery
in August, 1906. Most of the
stones are still held by the mining
companies and few have been sold
It is estimated from the figures
furnished the Survey and from re
ports in the press and those fur
nished by private persons that
about 1.400 diamonds weighing
nearly 550 carats have been found
from August. 1906. through 1912.
.The total estimated value placed
on this output in these reports
amounts to $ 1 2.108.
Mr. Sterrett’s report is a very
interesting account of the kind of

the United States.

Iron Mountain is Aiding the farmers.
Much interest is being manifest
ed by the farmers and genera! pub
lic in the demonstration farms be
ing installed at the suggestion of
President B. F. Bush, over the
lines of the Missouri Pacific-Iron
Mountain to aid the farmers iq get
ting the best possible results from
the land. The demonstration farm
at Conway. Ark., which was in very
poor condition when the agricultu
ral department of the railroad took
it in charge, is making a most im
pressive showing. Spring oats
grown there have been exception
ally fine. The demonstration farm
of the railroad company at Dermott.
Ark., contains the best crop of corn
in that section, and although corn
on neighboring farms suffered from
drought, the crop on the demon
stration farm shows no damage,
owing to proper preparation of the
j seed bed. Oats at the demonstra
tion farm at Hope, Ark., thrashed
out an average of 70 bushels to the
acre. Corn that was properly cul
tivated during the dry period did
not suffer any from drought, but
some of the other did. Ail other
I crops are in excellent condition
| and he reports that a vast improve
| ment is visible among farmers in
| cnltivating so as to conserve soil
moisture.

The electric car is? th last word
in comfortable living, ft is a per
ambulating parlor in which women
can travel from reception to recep
tion in the lap cf luxury bounding
blithely from curb to street car
through the crowded and swerving
traffic of a great city.
An elect- ic car is simply a ruh’oe -
tired coach which carries sev-.-ral
bushels of electricity in a large
bustle. It can be driven by a
woman or a mere child and usu >!|y
does not travel over t- n miles an
hour. It does riot explode or have
magneto trouble, and it has no spar k
plugs, carburetors or water tubes.
Because of this th- consumption
of profanity required in driving ui
electric car is very small indeed.
However, one electric car driyen
down the middle of a narrow stre^ t
by a beautiful but thoughtless lad",
can keep forty gasoline ca>s on
the low gear behind it and bring
the general level of conversation
in the neighborhood down 75 per
cent.
tiieciric cars are no'.v tna stand
ard advertisement of prosperity
There was a time when a man could
buy a gasoline car and insert bun
s' If permanently into the best fan'
ilies thereby. But now everyone
whose credit is good owns an auto
mobile with at least four cylinders,
and the only way to shine in the
eyes of the walking puvKc is to
amble haughtily down the street
in a neat little two-room cottage
on vrheels with a conservatory in
glass vases and $400, worth of
glass in plain view.
Electric cars are now very ex
pensive. The makers claim th t
this is because of the extraordinary
| costliness. But it will be noticed
i that-in order to keep the price up.
electric cars are madel more e labo
rate each year. The new models
room enough for a small party in
arm chairs, and are so handsomely
finished that a speck of mud creates
as much havoc to their complexion
as it does on the nose of an heiress.
Some day the supply of electric
cars will exceed the demand.
Then the price will come down on
the run, and lighting com.nnirs
will begin giving the n away a th >\
do electric irons, to in . ■ , i th
the demand for current. this
prospect should be an in lac ment
for every American to prelongh is
life as much as possible.
The electric car is the most suc
cessful method up to date of mak
ing the rich man glad he is airv .
But even this joy has its drawbacks.

the steering lever with a haughty
glare and tries to discount an com
