OPPORTUNITIES FOR
UYE STOCK RAISING
John H. Page Points Out Ten Good
Reasons Why Stock Raising
Is Profitable in Arkansas
Arkansas is one of the best
adapted States to live stocK raising
in the United States. This state
ment is predicated on several good
and well known facts.
1. Arkansas is a State of cheap
lands, and land is the foundation
upon which the stock-raiser’s busi
ness is built.
2. Arkansas is a well watered
State, and has an abundance of
living springs, of running streams
and innumberable lakes, furnish
ing plenty of pure drinking water,
and in addition an abundant sup
ply of well water is available in
all sections at a nominal cost.
3. Arkansas has an average
rainfall of 51 inches, well distrib
uted throughout the growing sea
son, insuring ample moisture for
hay, forage, grain crops and pas
turaee.
4. Arkansas has a tempature
of from 54 to 58 degrees, evidenc
ing a long pasturage and growing
season, and insuring a mildness in
winter that obviates the necesssity
for expensive housing for stock
that is so often required for stock
in the stock-growing States of the
North, East and West.
5. Arkansas has no blizzards
of severity to do damage in win
ter, no oppressive hot and burn
ing tempature or winds to cause
loss or damage in summer.
6. Arkansas is a cotton raising
state, with 60 cotton oil mills, pro
ducing annually over 300,000 tons
of cotton seed meal, the best and
cheapest basis for a concentrated
feed or balanced ration known to
the United States.
7. Arkansas has an abundance
of cheap and good labor available
for stock raising.
8. Arkansas has two modern
packing plants in driving distance
of much of her territory, and is in
easy reach of Memphis, Kansas
City, St. Louis, Oklahoma City and
Ft. Worth, for marketing pur
poses.
9. Arkansas has sumcent trans
portation facilities to put her in
easy touch with any or all of the
best markets with moderate cost
and little outlay of time.
10. Arkansas is the gateway to
a large part of the south now con
suming large quantities of meat
products, mules and horses, that
must be shipped in from other
states. John H. Page,
Agricultural Commissioner.

FAR-REACHING MEASURE IS

(Continued from page 1)
or would be empowered to em
ploy expert accountanants to au
dit the books of the board.
The three members of the board
would have to be more than 25
years old and only one could be
elected from any one congression
al district.
All contracts for supplies for
the state institutions, educational
charitable and penal, would be let
by the board and all bills for pro
visions or tabor would be allowed
or refused by the board.
The bill provides that the board
shall report to the general assemb
ly before each session of the legis
lature an estimate of the available
revenue of the State, including all
sums received or to be received
during the next two years from
all sources and an estimate of the
amount necessary to operate all
state institutions and the State
government, 10 erect, any neces-1
sary buildings and mabe any nec
essary repairs for the next two
years and file a duplicate with the
auditor of the state.
Should Representative Dowdy’s
bill become a law it will be the
most far-reaching measure ever
enacted by the general assembly,
in so far as state government is
concerned, according to members
of the legislature. When the bill
comes up for final reading and
passage, there no doubt will be an
interesting and vital debate on the
floor of the House. The bill has
I been referred to the committee on
ways and means for consideration.
