FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1907
Reports from various parts of
the state indicate that the early
strawberry crop and peaches have
been damaged to a considerable
extent by the recent cold snap.
Mammoth Spring is in the throes
of an anti-tiger fight, in which
some uncomplimentary tilings are
being said of some prominent of
ficials, including Circuit Judge
Meeks. So it will be seen that
Newark is not alone in this res
pect. A general wave of reform
seems to be sweeping over the en
tire country.
A more opportune time for
^folding a good roads convention
could not have been chosen. The
bottom has dropped out of the
roads and they are a veritable sea
of mud. We hope the delegates
to the convention which has been
in session at Little Rock for the
past three days have been doing
some practical thinking.
The lower house of congress has
passed a bill requiring all wagons
carrying a load of as much as
4,000 pounds to use four-inch tires,
the new law to take effect January
1, 1008. It is claimed by those
who have given the subject careful
— ‘•'attention that it will be necessary
to adopt the use of broad tires for
wagons before it will ever be pos
sible to build premanent good
roads. ___
The Journal believes it can truth
fully say that at present there is
but little, if any, liquor being sold
in Newark. There is perhaps less
liquor being sold here now than j
at any time during the history of:
the town. There was an inclina- j
tion on the part of many to make
light of those who started the anti
tiger movement, but we have
heard some of these same parties |
admit that booze does not flow so
freely as it formerly did.
Both houses of Congress have
passed a bill increasing the pay of;
members of the Presidents cabinet,
United States senators and con
gressmen, to take effect March 4. j
Senators and congressmen will be
advanced from $5,000 to $7,500,
while the vice president, speaker
■of the house and cabinet members
will get $12,000 a year. Now a
bill should be passed compelling a
tnore strict attention to duty, and
providing for the forfeiture of
their office for non-attendance.
Many members of congress devote
too much time and attention to
Got a Cold?
The average person ^
can safely count on
having a cold thistime
of year, sooner or lat
er. Everyone has his
choice of cough syrup,
but more people are
using White P i n e
Cough Syrup with Tar
than anything else,
because it stops the
cough, cures the cold
and heals the lungs.

WHAT ARKANSAS GROWS.
Arkansas is looked upon by
many as a state whose only agri
cultural product of any conse
quence is cotton, but figures re
cently published by the national
department of agriculture show
that, as a corn producing state,
Arkansas is surpassed by only
three states of the entire South,
namely: Texas, Kentucky and
Tennessee. The corn crop of
Arkansas for the .year 1900 is esti
mated at 52,802,569 bushels. At
the prevailing market price, the
crop is worth something over
twenty million dollars.
The value of many other agri
cultural products of Arkansas will
surprise one who has not taken
the time to do a little thinking
along this line. For example, the
state produced last year nearly
two million bushels of wheat, the
market value of which was nearly
one and a half million dollars.
Then the state is credited with $1,- j
123,561 worth of hay and $1,589,
157 worth of oats. Few states in
the South produce more Irish
potatoes than Arkansas, her crop
of this democratic vegetable last
year being 1,666,960 bushels, the
total value of which is something
over a million dollars.
Then, too, as little as you have
thought about it, there are only
three states in the entire union
that surpass Arkansas in the pro
duction of rice, and it has only
been about three years since rice
growing was introduced into
Arkansas. -Nevertheless, our rice
crop for last year amounted 131,
440 bushels, the value of which is
more than a hundred thousand
dollars.
The Journal is aware of the fact
that Arkansas is often the subject
if a lot of cheap ridicule. But she
is steadily advancing, and with her
broad expanse of undeveloped ter
ritory and her rich mineral depos
its, she isjdestined to become one
of the greatest and most wealthy
states in the Union. Just keep
your eye on Arkansas.
LAWS THE UNION WANTS.
The Farmers Union has a legis
lative committee at Little Rock to
look after proposed laws ailecting
the interests of the farmers and
the committee seems to be doing
good work. At a recent meeting
of the committee, which was at
tended by several members of the
legislature, the committee adopted
a resolution asking the legislature
to pass the following laws.
That the state should be divided
into four districts and that an
agricultural and horticultural
school be established in each dis
trict. An appropriation of $200,
000 is asked.
A uniform text book measure,
stipulating that the books be
printed by the state.
A law to constitute the place of
delivery of intoxicating liquors the
place of sale.
A law to protect fruit growers
from nursery agents from other
states.
The passage of a good roads bill
is urged and the passage of a two
cent passenger rate law is endors
ed.
These are all good measures, so
for as The Journal can see, and
all classes would be benetitted by
their enactment.
