$3,000,000 WORTH OF PEACHES!

That is The Estimated Value of
The Peach Crop of Arkansas
For This Season
It is said that there will be more
peaches shipped from Arkansas
this season than in any year in the
history of the state. This, accord
ing to advices from the fruit belt,
is due to two causes, one of which
is the splendid yield, the other to
the increased orchard acreage. It
is estimated that there are 20,000
acres of fruit bearing peach trees
in Arkansas, the largest being in
tirf/M'rl I nl i nonn n 1/ 11 n
Pope, Howard, Pike, Nevada,
Sevier, Polk, Ouachita and Union
counties. The average yield per
acre of these peach trees is esti
mated at 100 bushels, making a
total of 2,000,000 pushels. The
price will range from $2 to 75
cents per bushel. The average
price is expected to be $1.50 per
bushel which makes the crop worth
$3,000,000. There are only two
other Arkansas crops, the cotton
and corn crops, which exceed in
value the peach crop.
From no portion of the peach
producing section comes any com
plaint as to the size or the quality
of the crop. There is only one
fear that is uppermost in the mind
of the orchardist at present, and
that is the possibility of not being
able to secure labor sufficient to |
gather the crop. :
SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS
Mr. Editor: I am now in the
western part of Little River coun
ty, in a few miles of the Choctaw
nation. Crops aae very backward
and labor is scarce. I am told they
are paying $1.50 a day for cotton
hoeing.
The land here is a mulatto land,
and the average yield is about
twenty bushels of corn and half
bale of cotton per acre. Not
far from here they have the black
land, which is very productive and
will equal our Big Bottom land.
Land sells from $3 to $20 per acre
owing to the location and improve
ment.
The timber is oak and pine.
There is a large part of the coun
try in timber and farms show they
have not been in cultivation long,
consequently not much machinery
is used.
Foreman is a town of about a
thousand inhabitants. It has some
nice residences and seems to have
a good trade.
They have more negroes here'
than we have. The people are j
very sociame ana nave receiveu
the writer kindly.
A man with little means could
easily set a home here, as there
is lots of lumber manufactured
f here and aftpr that is taken off,
the land could be bought very
reasonable. But I have no idea of
locating here.
I expect to go to Sevier county
next week. Will say moA* of the
country l'1 ter, but will say Inde
pendence county suits me bettor
than here for many reasons.

TEXAS WILL BE DRY 20 DAYS I
Austin, Tex., June 23.—From
July 12 until August 1, Texas is
very likely going to be a very
“dry” prohibition state. This
will result from the setting in
motion of a new liquor law passed
by the recent legislature, the
principal features of which re
quires the tiling of a 20 days’ no
tice before a saloon can secure a j
license. This law becomes efl'ec-1
tive July 12.
It has now been finally decided
that no saloon can get a new ’
license until August 1, and during j
this interval all saloons must close.

THREW DYNAMITE ON MAN’S PORCH
Unsuccessful Attempt Made to
Blow up Home of Ashley Cock
rill in Little Rock
Little Rock, June 23.—An at
tempt was made early Saturday j
morning to dynamite the home of j
Ashley Cockrill, attorney and poli
tician. Two sticks of giant powder
were placed on the porch of his |
residence, 1907 Broadway, in such
a position that their explosion
would have blown in two adjacent
walls and almost certainly destroy
ed the entire family. Dampness
in the air extinguished the fuse
and prevented a catastrophe.
The would-be assassin or assas
sins made the attempt between;
midnight and 7 o’clock in the
morning. There are no known
witnesses to the attempt and no.
clews to the identity of the perpe
rtators. Mr. Cockrill’s activity in
local politics has made him some j
enemies, but he says that there is
no one on the list of his acquain
tances he would suspect of at
tempting such a crime. |
Had the dynamite exploded the !
three small chidren of Mr. Cock- j
rill would have been blown to
atoms. The sticks were found
pressed against the outer wall of
the room in which they were sleep-1
ing.
A local authority on dynamite
says that if they had exploded the
force would have been such as to
shake down neighboring dwellings, j
The fuse of the sticks was burned I
for an inch or more. The charred
match which had been used to
ignite them lay near.
