PROFITABLE FIELD
FOR THE FARMER
Advantages of the Farm Dairy
Pointed Out by I. H. Agricul
tural Commissioner
Ten thousand farm dairymen
are needed in Arkansas. Not ex
j elusive dairymen, but average
farmers who would keep eight
I to ten cows more than enough to
I furnish the family supply of milk
i and butter.
With five extra cows the aver
age farmer should be able to add
at least $200 a year clear profit to
his farm income from the sale of
cream and the pork raised on the
skim milk. In addition to this he
! would be continually adding ferti
1 lizer to his soil, instead of selling
! it off at such a rapid rate with the
! crop he sells.
The Northern dairyman has ar
| rived at a point where he can no
longer supply the demand made
upon him by the domestic and ex
port trades. This is shown by
our rapidly dwindling exports of
creamery butter. This has fallen
from 12,544,000 pounds in 1907 to
4,877,000 pounds in 1911.
Let Arkansas farmers awaken to
an understanding of their opportu
nities. He can distance the Illinois,
Wisconsin or Michigan dairyman
miles in putting his dairy products
into the markets. He has a big
advantage over the Northerner
in climate conditions and a still
bigger advantage in cheap produc
tion of feed for cows. The mar
ket does not have to be created.
It is already here—right at the
shipping station. The creameries
will buy every gallon of the cream
at the shipping station and pay
the highest market price in spot
cash for it.
We need a small dairy associa
tion of farmers in every communi
ty in Arkansas. The members of
such an association could pool
their small offerings at the ship
ping station and make quite re
spectable shipments. These as
sociations could buy cows at re
duced prices; and by purchasing
pure -bred males for use by theii
members could soon build up
fine dairy herds.

DESTROY STUMPS
BY USE OF ACID
Farmer Claims to Have Discover
ed Cheap and Effective Way
to Get Rid of ftumps
The following article telling of
a new way of to get rid ofstumps is
clipped from Farm and Ranch, and
is published in The Journal with
our personal request that some
farmer give it a thorough trial
and report results through The
Journal. If it is a success it is
worth a considerable sum to those
farmers who own stumppy land.
The article follows:
“A farmer has discovered that a
mixture of equal parts of sulphuric
and nitric acid will destroy a
stump of the hardest wood in a
few weeks.
“The stump of a mahogany tree
three feet six inches in diameter
was destroyed so completely in
five weeks by the use of 12 cents’
worth of acid, that it could be
knocked to pieces with a garden
hoe. On the subject of applying
the acid he says: “The acids are
used in equal parts and nothing is
added to them. A hole is bored in
the stump with a two-inch auger,
deep enough to hold the quantity
of acid to be used, and then one
poured in and the other added.
The hole is then plugged air tight
with a wooden plug.”
“A stump three feet in diameter
should be treated with about one
half pint of each acid. The nitric
acid is poured into the stump first,
and the sulphuric acid is added in
all cases and not the reverse. In
mixing these acids much heat is
generated and care must be taken
not over a half pint of each to be
mixed at one time, which must be
allowed to cool before and more
is added. Both of these acids are
extremely corrosive and should
not be allowed to come in contact
with the person or the clothing.
BOND AMENDMENT
LOST FIRST TEST
Incidentally Peoples Power lor
Law-Making- is Restricted
by Court’s Decision
The friends of Amendment No.
15, for the issuance of municipal
bonds, which carried in the recent
election by 22,000 majority, have
lost the first round in the contest
t) determine its validity, and At
torney-General Norwood has scor
ed a complete victory in the lower
court.
Judge Fulk, of the Pulaski cir
cuit court, on a petition for man
damus brought by Mayor Taylor
of Little Rock, against the State
Board of Election Commissioners,
decided that:
1. Only three amendments can
be submitted at one time.
2. That an amendment must
have a majority of all the votes
cast at the election, not merely a
majority of those cast on the sub
ject!
3. That the State Election
Board has no authority to declare
the vote on an amendment.
These are the contentions made
by the attorney-general, and if
sustained by the Supreme Court
will further restrict the legislative
power of the people under the
Intiative and Referendum. It will
be very easy for the legislature to
submit three amendments at every
session, and if this be done the
people might never initiate an
amendment. It can well be imag
ined, too, that exciting legal
struggles might arise to determine
priority of an amendment which
the people might be permitted to
initiate.
Fifty-seven per cent of the peo
ple who voted on the question
voted for bonds, and great muni
cipal improvements depend upon
the attitude of the court toward
it. It is interesting to note, in
passing, that the recall amendment
is in the same condition.
