BIG FIRE AT EARLE
Earle, Oct. 12.—About 11
o’clock this morning the lumber
yard of the Tyronza Lumber
Company was discovered on
fire. A high wind was blowing.
Within an hour about a million
and a half feet of lumbcr.most
ly oak, was ablaze. In using dy
namite to prevent the fire from
spreading a coal of fire flew on
the residence of G. W. Donna
hoe, three blocks away, which
was also burned, together with
jlbarn and outbuildings. Mr.Don
jnahoe saved no furniture and
lost a lot of machinery, farming
implements and feed. At one
time it seemed that a large part
of the town of New Earle was
doomed.
The origin of the fire is un
known, but is believed a spark
from a Tyronza log engine wsa
the cause.

NOT GOING BACK
Many thoughtful people are
alarmed just now lest the pre
sent high price of cotton vp\
induce Arkansas farmers to go
back to exclusive cotton grow
ing. Dean Miller of the Univer
sity Extension Division thinks
this not yet a subject to worry
about. Cotton planting will not
begin for almost six monthsand
before that time comes nine
tenths of the cotton farmers will
have-gone through a winter
maintaining their stock ontheir
own feed and their families
largely on stuff grown on their
own farms,the first such winter
known to many of them.Arkan
sas farmers have read more this
year about corn, clovers,forage
crops and gardens than ever be
fore. The Extension Division of
the University will conductser
ious campaigns this winter in
all the cotton counties urging
continuance of the “safety hab
it,” a good living first, and then
the money crop for the bank.

COTTON
Is Selling High
Yes, cotton is selling at a good price this year
— 13 and 14 cents against 6 and 7 cents last year.
England’s contraband order has auctually boosted
the prices from 7 cents to the present high prices.
But the only real reason why cotton is selling at
this remarkable good price is summed up in the
one word —
DIVERSIFICATION
We were for Diversified Farming last year
and headed the work in Arkansas. We used ad
vertising space to tell the farmers of the south of
the advantages to be gained by planting less cot
ton and more of the things the farmer needs him
self, together with a good crop of wheat
Wheat has paid well—more than a dollar a bush
el. The farmer has made more this year and with 50
per cent less labor than in former years. Diversified
crops is the South’s only Salvation. By going back tp
cotton just because it is a good price this year you will
ruin all the good you have brought yourself this year.
