Raise More Stock on
Woodland Pastures
Arkansas has a valuable asset in
its woodland pastures, the thousands
of acres of uncleared lands in the
hills and mountains, where there is an
abundant growth of grass, cane and
other forage plants, pure water and
splendid health conditions for all
kinds of live stock. Grazing land is
becoming scarce and severe drouths
in the west and northwest are caus
ing the cattle men and sheep raisers
to look for pastures in other sections.
Cheap lands and a dependable climate
are more in demand than ever before.
I am reminded of this fact by in
quiries received this fall from western
stockmen. Recently a 7000-acre cut
over tract in the Ouachita mountains
was bought by western cattlemen and
is being converted into a modern
ranch. Montana cattlemen are look
ing for a similar location in North
Arkansas. If these wood pastures are
attractive to westerners, why cannot
they be made profitable to our own
people? Why cannot we enlarge our
herds of cattle, sheep, goats and hags
and make big ranches out of these
idle lands which are so plentiful
about us? If we will put more stock
on our open ranges and look after
them as the western stockman looks
after his herds we will take a big
step forward in the development of
Arkansas. This is an opportunity for
the people of Arkansas.

Commissioner of Agriculture.

Interesting Facts
About the Census
United States marshals acted as
enumerators at the first nine decen
1 nial censuses. Each marshal had as
many assistants as were necessary to
; properly cover his alloted territory.
About 650 people were engaged in
taking the first census of the United
States. The 1920 census will require
the services of 90,000.
The statistics of the first census
of the United States were published
in one small volume consisting of 56
pages. The statistics of the 1910
census required 12 volumes having
an aggregate of more than 40,000
pages.
There were 6,361,502 farms report
ed at the last decinnial census, valued
at more than 40 billions of dollars.
The 1920 census is expected to show
more than 7,000,000 farms.
The Census Bureau prints a sup
plement for each State in the Union
containing all the census figures re
lating to the State tn question.
Congress extended the scope of the
approaching 1920 census by providing
that a census oi forestry and forest
products should be taken. These sub
