Where Our Money Goes
Old Man People: As a result
of the one-crop system, here is
what we are in the south. The
average rural wealth percapita
in Tennessee is $380 ;Arkansas,
$325; Mississippi, $302; Ala
bama, $230; Georgia, $325;
Kentucky, $500; North Caro
lina, $322;South Carolina,$449
and Louisianna, $286. The av
erage wealth per capita in Iowa
is $3,386, in Illinois, $2,655.The
average wealth per capita in
the United States is $994.
Where does our money go?
Illinois and Iowa are food pro
ducing states. We produce cot
ton. We sell cotton, get the
money and spend it in Illinois
and Iowa for food and feed for
man and beast. So you see
where the money goes.
The farms in the south pro
duce more money per acre than
the farms of Iowa. But we don’t j
bank that money at home. We;
are not economical, self-suffi
cient.
The southern states have
many advantages over the
inorthern states. First the land
is cheaper; climate is mild*7
•and the growing season longer,
two and sometimes three crops
lean be grown in the same sea
son on the same soil; a greater
variety of crops can be grown.
The south is naturally adapt
ed to the growing of live stock,
grain, legume crops; expensive
farm buildings are unnecessary
pasture season is long; there is
plenty of rain; work can be car
ried on throughout the entire
year.—Comm* -cial Appeal.
17c FOR COTTON FROM
GOVERNMENT SEED
Newport, Get.25.—Tom Fine,
a farmer living on the Sam Har
din farm, north of Newport, to
day sold a bale of cotton here
for 17 cents a pound.
The cotton was of the Du
rango variety and was raised
from seed secured from a quart
given Mr. Fine by the United
States Department of Agricul
ture in the spring of 1914.With
this seed as a nucleus he has
grown two acres of the cotton
this year, from whi 'h two bales
have been gathered. Mr. Fine
had a bale of this cotton on ex
hibition at the county fair last
week and won second prize.He
says the two bales were grown
on poor land.

NEED MORE COWS
The United States census for
1910 showed that Missouri on
her 277,000 farms had 856,000
dairy cows, w hile Arkansas on
her 214,000 farms had but426,
000 dairy cows. The Missouri
cows were worth $35.00 each,
while the Arkansas cows were
worth only $22.00 each. Mis
souri also had 316,000 yearling
heifers as against 137,000 in
Arkansas. The butter made in
Missouri was worth $3,000,000
more than the butter made in
. ; n. as. One of Arkansas’
greatest needs is more and bet
ter cows.

GROW MORE COTTON
FROM FEWER ACRES
Let tins be the Arkansas slo
gan now for five years. The Ar
1 Kansas farmers are happy this
year over the big supply of feed
bind food stuffs grown on the
farms and they are not going to
■fail to grow plenty of feed here
after. Everybody knows how
foolish it would be for all to go
to excess on planting cotton
next spring and get six cents
for it. Arkansas reduced her
cotton acreage, 16 per cent this
year and now let us keep it
down to the present acreage,or
reduce it 4 per cent lower and
then add to our corn and clover
and feed acreage and use more
brains in our farming, and use
better seed, plow better, culti
vate more and better, and thus
keep up th. supply and get
more feed and more live stock.
SAVE COTTON SEED
No farmer should be so fool
ish as to sell all his cotton seed
even if it is worth sixty to sev
enty cents a bushel. It is all the
more important that good seed
be saved. Good seed for ten ac
res will be worth morethan poor
seed for fifteen acres. Seed may
ibe worth $1.00 a bushel, or
more, next spring and it will be
poor seed at that. Save your
own seed now is the advice of
Prof. W. C. Lassetter, cotton
specialist of the state and gov
ernment extension forces. Seed
from later pickings is not good
seed because frost-bitten and
damaged by insects. The best
(seed, Mr. Lasetter says, always
come from the lower two-thirds
of the plant.

The Value of Grass
The farmers waste lots of
energy throughout the summer
fighting grass, and buying hay
through the winter. For 20
years I have watched the agri
cultural conditions in this state,
and during that period have
never seen a surplus of hay, or
a sufficiency of pastures. It
takes hard money to buy hay.It
would be a good idea to com
promise with the grass to some
extent. Turn some of your poor
land into pasture for your work
stock, cattle and hogs.Set apart
a field and plant it to pasture.
Plant it to rye, and in the early
spring sow clover, and thus get
a winter and summer pasture.
For every thousand pounds of
live stock pastured you will get
an average of 1200 pounds of
manure on the land every thir
ty days. Then turn under the
manure and the green pasture
next fall, before frost, and sow
down in burr clover for a win
ter pasture, and follow byplow
that under in the spring. Then
you will have good land made
out of poor land. Use enough of
your farm that way every year
enough hay crops to make two
to pasture your stock.As a com
panion to this system, grow
tons of hay per head for all
cattle and horses. Take good
care of it, and bale it.In thefall
plow under all the green stuff, j
and follow with burr clover,
clover, rye or vetch for winter
pasture, and turn under again
in the spring while green. This
system will give you much bet
ter land on which to grow corn
and cotton.
I I want to see the farmers
with more pastures and bigger
| hay crops. It will enrich the
lland, and then it will take few
[er acres to make a living. And
do not forget our mutual fri nd
the cow pea. Give it space in
the corn middles, alongthe^urn
rows, and in every waste place.
Fight the weeds, but compro
mise with the grass. Your work
stock will thrive and do better
if they have a pasture to run on
during the night in the work
season. The grass they eat will
take the place of corn and oats,
to some extent, and remember
that stock, when pastured, are
gathering that much of the crop
as it grows, as they need it,
leaving the “change” on the
soil to pay for it.
Try out this system. You will
find that those who do are gen
erally prosperous.

Commissioner of Agriculture.

Heber Springs,Oct. 25.—Ad
vertisements are being publish
ed for the sale of $90,000
worth of bonds to be issued for
the benefit of ImprovementDis
trict No. 1, which means that
Heber Springs is to have water
works and sewerage. This is
the latest movement made by

that waterworks and sewerage
are certain for the town. At a
recent meeting of the town
council resolutions were passed
which extends the time of mak
ing the first assessment from
the first of December ,1915, to
the first of May, 1916, as it is
though that it will be unneces
sary to make any assessments
until the latter date. For the
past two years this movement
has been on foot.

Good Printing
styles in Job Printing have undergone many
changes in the past few years. .The old style ef
fects with the big, gaudy type and fancy borders
have been replaced with more simple designs.
Present day business men who know the val
ue of good stationary, realize that the old, out
o date designs have no connections with modern
busmess methods. Consequently they use more dig
m e type faces and simplified designs in their
stationery, which not only makes a more favorable
impression upon those with whom they have busi
ness correspondence, but reflects the prosperity
of their business as well.
The equipment of The Journal’s Job Depart
ment is up-to-date in every respect. .A splendid
.inotype, good power presses, and a fine
assortment of the latest type faces, enable us to
lanule any kind of printing promtly. Nothing but
the best material used, and our printing never
fails to please the most particular users of high
grade printing.
