PAY WITH POULTRY
Pay for the things you have
to buy at the stores in 1921
with poultry and eggs. This
year, go on a cash basis.
Thousands of mothers and
daughters worked hard all
last summer and fall in the
cotton fields, and the cotton
will not pay what the famil
ies owe at the stores. If each
of the women and girls who
vvrorked so hard in the cotton
fields had two dozen young
hens last spring, had taken
good care of them and of the
chicks they hatched, the work
would not have been half so
hard as the field labor. Gro
ceries, shoes, and clothing
would have been paid for in
cash; and New Year’s Day
the families would not have
been ov/ing the store one dol
lar for anything used in the
homes. DO IT THIS YEAR.
The farmers’ wives and
daughters in Missouri get an
average of $300,000.00 every
day in the year, except Sun
day, for poultry and eggs—
more than one hundred mil
lion dollars a year; $500.00 a
year for every farm family in
the state. Think of the com
fort and freedom from worry
and debts the families in
Arkansas would now have if
the larm women ana giris
had done with poultry what
those on Missouri farms did,
instead of working in the cot
ton fields. The sale of poul-'
try and eggs in Arkansas in
1920 averaged less than
$25.00 a farm family.
A cotton grower in South
east Missouri did not pay ex
penses with cotton, but made
$2,008.00 clear profit from
400 carefully selected laying
hens last year.
Every merchant and banker
in Arkansas should be anxious
to give every woman and „ girl
12 years of age or older, in
families who do business with
them, credit to buy 24 laying
young hens and pullets, and to
help new poultry raisers get
the information they need
from experts. The men in
every farm family owe it to
their women folks to build
cheap, good shelter for the
poultry and coops for the hens
with chicks.
Twenty-four laying young
hens and pullets will furnish
all the eggs an ordinary fam
ily will eat and eggs to sell.
Each hen should be set three
times. Set two hens at a time.
When the chicks hatch, put
both broods under one hen
and get the other to laying
quickly. In this way 30
chicks can be raised to mar
keting size from each hen.
Let the family eat all they
want; it will save meat bills;
and there will be 300 to 500
chicks to sell.
Each beginner should learn
how to select hens that will
pay. Learn how to keep lice
and mites away. Learn what
to bu.y to go with home-grown
feed to produce eggs cheaper.
Learn how to take care of sit
ting hens. Learn how to
take care of and feed a hen
and her chicks. Learn how to
market poultry and eggs to
get the highest prices. H. B.
Lansden, poultry man, State
Extension Department, South
ern Trust Building, Little
Rock, can tell you all these
things. He knows. Get up
a big meeting in your county;'
get every family in the county j
to come to it, and get Lansden
to show beginners how to
make money from poultry.
It is the moral obligation of
every storekeeper in Arkan
sas who sells to farmers to
buy their eggs and poultry
at a fair price. Merchants
within 100 miles of- Little
Rock have paid farm women
10 cents a dozen for eggs
when they were worth whole
sale 40 cents at Little Rock,
and it cost less than four cents
a dozen to ship them. Such a j
practice on the part of a mer
chant is as bad as highway
robbery. Merchants, give
the women and girls who have.
poultry and eggs a SQUARE'
DEAL. It will pay you as
well as them. H. M. COT

INCOME TAX
Numerous inquiries have
reached the Bureau of Intern
al Revenue relative to the de
cision of United States Dis
trict Court of Connecticut , in
the Brewer case, in which it
was held that gains and j
profits realized from the sale
of capital assets1 is not tax
able income. The United
States Attorney for Connecti
cut has been authorized to
perfect an appeal to the Su
preme Court of the United
States for a review of the
decision. Since Congress,
under the provisions of the in
come tax Acts of 1913, 1916
and 1918, has directed the
taxation as income of such
gains and profits, the bureau
will continuue to collect the
tax therein, unless and until
the Supreme Court shall hold
that provisions of law to be
unconstitutional.
The same question is in
volved in the Eldorado and
Ryerson cases which were
argued in the Supreme Court
some weeks ago. A decision
in these cases undoubtedly
will settle the general ques
tion. In view of the severe
penalties provided by law for
false and fraudulent income
tax return, taxpayers are
warned not to omit from their
returns for the year 1920 such
gains and profits:

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
THE FORD COUPE
The Ford Coupe is surely the Salesman's car. Thousands of them
are bought every year by firms employing traveling salesmen. Many
firms buy fifty cr one hundred at a time, because they know, from
experience, that the Ford Coupe increases the efficiency of the sales
men at a minimum of expense.
Contractors, builders, collectors, solicitors, physicians all find
the Ford Coupe the most convenient as well as the most economical
among motor cars. Lowest in purchase price, lowest in operating
costs, and backed by the Ford Service organization—coupled with the
durability of the car itself—these furnish the reasons for the Ford pop
ularity.
Let us send you a copy of “Ford—A Business Utility.” It tells
what ther concerns have learned about the Ford in business service.
But, better still, let us have your order today. The demand keeps
growing. Orders are filled in the order as received—and our allot
ment is limited a specified number each monht.
