A Wise Example.
Nashville, Ark., April 22, ’20
At a meeti Fair
Price Committee for Howard
County held in this city to-day,
it was resolved that the one sure
way to reduce the present High
Cost of Living is to increase our
production.
It was further resolved that in
view of the present supply and
price of sugar this committee
should advocate and assist in ev
ery possible way in the produc
tion of a bumper crop of sorghum
in Howard County this year.
The 1919 Ameriean sugar crop
is now exhausted and whole
salers are having to compete
with buyers from all parts of
the world in securing what su
gar we get and the price will
likely reach unheard of levels in
the near future as the United
States Government did not buy
foreign sugar last year for do
mestic needs as it did during the
war, and therefore is not now in
position to govern the prices
^ this foreign grown sugar.
Sugar is now retailing at
25cts per pound, and upward
which practically assures a very
satisfactory price to the pro
ducer of any kind of syrup.
If every farmer in this Coun
ty will plant an acre or more
really good land of sorghum this
year it will not only provide him
self and family with a good sub
stitute for high-priced sugar, but
the sale of the surplus syrup
will pay him well for the
time spent in producing the
crop. The non-saccharine va
rieties should be grown for for
eign crops.
Refinery syrups are now sell
ing on the local markets at $1.85
per gallon and home-made sor
ghum cannot be bought at any
price and if the farmers of this
county will produce sufficient
quantities of syrup to supply
more than the local demands the
members of the Fair Price Com
mittee will bring buyers here
and establish a market for all
Riirnlns snrcrVmm
The Committee is also work
ing on plans to offer prizes for
the largest production of sypup
per acre, and for the best quality
produced in the county.
BERT JOHNSON,
Chairman Fair Price Committee
For Howard County.
SHE FEELS FINE NOW
Your kindneys need help if

took Foley Kidney Pills and
they helped me right away.
There is such a change in me

CULTIVATION.
Sweet Potatoes • Need Constant
Attention.
[National Crop Improvement Service.]
Begin early cultivation as soon as
possible after planting and continue
—until vines interfere. Soil should be
stirred after every rain to break the
crust and conserve moisture. Cultivate
once a week when it does not rain. It
is not necessary to loosen the vines
from the soil where the runpers take
hold. Handling the vines is likely to
be of more injury than benefit. Prun
ing of vines is not desirable. Hand
hoeing will be necessary to keep down
weeds in the row and to keep the soil
loose between plants. During the last
cultivation, It will be necessary to pro
tect the vines from injury by laying
them into alternate rows, replacing
them after the cultivation.
In case weeds should spring up after
this cultivation, it is profitable to pull
them by hand.

good. I used a lot of it when
my own children were small.’1

THE UN IVER S At-CAR
SIXTEEN YEARS’ EXPERIENCE
For sixteen years, a corps of metal
lurgists have been studying and constantly
perfecting the steel that goes into every
part of the Ford car and the Ford One Ton
Truck. Each separate part has been
studied to learn the type of steel best fitted
for it. Parts receiving constant surface
wear are made of hard, flint-like metal;
parts subjected to great vibration or re
silence are made of softer, springy steel.
Every part is made acording to its use—
that is, every Genuine Ford part is.
But there are also counterfeit “Ford”
parts. They are sold as side-lines by mail
order houses, down-town stores, and many
garages. The unsuspecting customer ac
cents them because they are called “Ford”
parts.
To make sure of getting the genuine
Ford-made parts, come to authorized
Ford headquarters.
RIGGS BROTHERS, McCrory, Ark.
