FOR OUR FARMERS
A great Agricultural Campaign
has been organized by the far
mers, bankers and business men
in 83 counties in western Tennes
see, northern Mississippi, and
eastern Arkansas.
These eighty-three counties lie
within a radius of 150 miles of
Memphis, Tenn. It is not a
Memphis Campaign. It will be
conducted on a co-operative basis
under the auspices of the Bureau
of Farm Demonstration of Mem
phis. It will be inaugurated
about the 10th of November, and
continued for forty or fifty days.
There will be thirty to sixty
meetings in each county, making
a total of about 2,500 meetings.
Organized into the work are the
most prominent interests of the
three states where the campaign
will be carried on, State Depart
ments of Agriculture and Educa
tion, Bankers, Railroads, Far
mers’ Unions, Women’s Clubs,
Newspapers and Commercial Or
ganizations, assisted by the Inter
national Harvester Company.
A prominent feature of this
great extension work is the plan
of holding the meetings at the
farm homes and in the country
schools, as well as in the towns
anu viuages. me iarmers win
not have to come to town to hear
the speakers, but the speakers
will go out to the homes of the
people and discuss their individ
ual problems. Sixty speakers will
be divided into crews-two
speakers in each crew—and
routed in each county according
to schedule. Advance men will
assist the local people in each
county in making up their sched
ules of meetings. The speakers
will be in a county from one to
two days. Each crew will hold
three or four meetings a day.
Each speaker will have large
charts six feet square to illustrate
his lecture. These charts will be
prepared to suit the conditions of
the South.
The farmers and business men
of Tennessee,^ Arkansas and Miss
issippi are spending £25,000 in
money, and as much in service
to carry on this work.
Booklets have been prepared to
meet the needs of those who live
and do business in the trade ter
ritory of Memphis. There, are
books on live stock farming, boll
weevil, cattle ticks, on various
crops, such as corn, soy beans,
cow peas, alfalfa and lespedeza,
gardening, canning and poultry.
The Memphis Bureau of farm
Development is directing the
work. Sixty speakers will be se
lected from well known agricul
turists throughout the South—
men with national reputations.
Everyone prominent in his line.
These speakers will talk on cat
tle, hogs, poultry, soil, legume
crops, hog cholera, cattle ticks,
boll weevil and the things partic
ularly adapted to each locality.
Here is another valuable feat
ure of the campaign; from twelve
to fifteen of the speakers will
have special lecturers’ charts to
use in the city and country
schools. These speakers will talk
home conveniences and sanita
tion, cooking, canning, home
economics and the things that go
to make better home life.

The Democrats are completely
ruining the country. Cotton
from eleven to thirteen cents and
seed selling for only forty dollars
a ton looks pretty tough to a fel
low now-a-days. Get us right,
we are talking about the times
as a Republican sees them. Last
year when these prices were so
low, President Wilson and the
Democratic administration were
to blame, but the howler of last
year has taken a back seat and
the Democrat will have full sway
in the coming elections, is the
universal expression.
H. B. Gray sold a bale of cot
ton in McCrory Wednesday for
15 cents a pound. The seed was
received by him from the govern
ment and the product is known
as the “Durango” variety. The
bale weighed 499 pounds and
brought $71.85. The seed weight
was 1004 pounds and would have
brought $20.08 on the market.
Mr. Gray kept the seed for next
year’s planting. He also sold a
bale today for 13^ cents a pound.
This cotton is known as the
“Sturdivant” variety.
