Arkansas Wheat Superior to
Any Grown in United States
Editor Newark Journal.—
When the war broke out two
years ago, it looked like the
Arkansas cotton farmer was
facing ruin. To help this situa
tion we appropriated one thou
sand dollars to advertise wheat
growing in Arkansas and we
started out to sell at cost five
thousand bushels of seed
wheat.
The idea of raising our meat
and bread in Arkansas took
like wild-fire. Your good pub
lication, together with several
others, aided us materially in
this movement, which was
started several months before
the other campaigns. When
the wheat season was over we
found that we had sold thirty
thousand bushels of seed
wheat. We had put out more
than ten thousand letters on
how to prepare the seed bed
and the kind of wheat to sow,
also found that we had more
than double the wheat acre
age in Arkansas as a whole and
had succeeded in getting prac
tically one hundred thousand
acres sowed in wheat that had
formerly been in cotton.
The quality of the first crop
was exceedingly good, but un
fortunately just at harvest it
began to rain. Last year Ark
ansas raised more than twice
as much wheat as the state had
ever raised before, but the wet
harvest affected the grade just
as it affected it in practically
every other state. This year we
had almost perfect conditions
for harvesting, but the yield
was not up to expectation. The
yield in every soft wheat state
this year was very disappoint
ing, still the yield in Arkansas
is better per acre than in Mis
souri, Illinois, Indiana, Tennes-,
see and Kentucky, and the
price received by the Arkansas
farmer is higher than the price
received by the farmer in any
other state.
(Considering that the value of
the wheat land above mention
eu in irom two uu ruur times
higher than the land sown in
wheat in Arkansas, this makes
a very fine showing for Arkan- i
sas wheat.
Our laboratory investigation
developed the fact that Arkan
sas soft wheat makes a whiter,
fluffier biscuit than any soft
wheat we have been able to1
buy.
Recently wre received a con
tract for five thousand barrels
of our Dolly Dimple flour, af
ter the Hinrich’s Laboratories
of St. Louis had made a test
on Dolly Dimple, which was
made from Arkansas wheat,
compared with one of the best
flour made from Missouri
wheat.
Hinrich’s Laboratories goes
further and states that the Ar
kansas wheat flour was of bet
ter value than the Missouri for
biscuits. The fact that mills in
Indianna, Missouri, Illinois,1
Tennessee and Kentucky sent
their representatives to Arkan
sas this year to buy wheat is
evidence that the mills in other
states are beginning to realize
that Arkansas wheat makes
better flour than any soft
wheat in the country.
We had an opportunity to
write an Indianna mill that
bought twenty-five thousand
bushels of Arkansas wheat,and
we asked them how they could
i afford to buy Arkansas wheat,
pay the freight both ways and
ship their flour back to Arkan
sas. They advised that they
were buying Arkansas wheat,
paying an extra fancy price for
it to help the quality of wheat
bought elsewhere.
We have paid out since June
15 practically one-half million
dollars for Arkansas wheat
and we expect to buy a great
deal more. We are bidding the
farmer today $1.40 to $1.50
loaded in cars in 400-bushel
lots, difference in price depend
ing on location.The wheat crop
will bring our farmers thisyear
between two and three million
dollars and will bring the mon
ey to them at the time most
needed.
The present high price of
cotton and cottonseed is going
to be a great temptation forthe
farmers to go back to raising
cotton, but every farmer ought
to raise some wheat, as it will
help the land. Wheat on the
land in the winter will protect
land, furnish winter pasturage,
and the straw stack will help
to winter the cattle the follow
ing year.
The world’s wheat crop this
year is 25 to 25 per cent short,
and the prospects are for very
much higher prices on wheat
in the next two or three years.
We honestly believe it would
pay every Arkansas farmer to
raise some wheat.
We take this opportunity to
thank your good publication
for helping Arkansas in this di
versified movement.
, We are not opposed to rais
ing cotton; in fact, we think it
would be unwise to decrease
the yield in Arkansas, but, like
you, we think it wise to de
crease the acreage and increase
the yield per acre, and use the
acreage thus gained for raising
foodstuff and feedstuff.
Remember that we will buy
every bushel of good milling
vcfapto offered us next year by i
Arkansas farmers, uJUn a.-vW
ing the Arkansas farmers the
highest market price.

TOT II! SUBSTITUTE
FOR RASH CALOMEL
Starts your liver without making
you sick and can not
salivate.
Every druggist in town—your drug
gist and everybody's druggist has noticed
a great falling-off in t!ie sale of calomel.
1 hey all give the same reason. Dodson’s
Liver Tone is taking its place.
“Calomel is dangerous and people know
it, while Dodson’s Liver Tone is perfectly
safe and gives better results,” said a
prominent local druggist. Dodson’s
Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by
every druggist who sells it. A large
bottle costs 50 cents, and if it fails to 1
give easy relief in every ease of liver
sluggishness and constipation, you have
only to ask for your money back.
Dodson’s Liver Tone Is a pleasant-tast- j
ing, purely vegetable remedy, harmless
to both children and adults. Take a
spoonful at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid
stomach or constipated bowels. It
doesn't gripe or cause inconvenience all
the next lav like violent calomel. Take
a dose of calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak, sick Rnd nauseated.
Don’t lose a day’s work! Take Dodson’s
Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full of
vigor and ambition.

CAREFUL HANDLING OF
COTTON PAYS WELL
Staple is Valuable and Care
Should be Taken to Get it to
Market in Good Shape.
Cotton growers now have
one of the best opportunities of
many years to profit by in
creased care in handling their
cotton, according to cotton
growing and marketing spec
ialists of the United Staes De
partment of Agriculture.
Care in picking, assembling
and hauling seed cotton, and in
ginning, as well as in the hand
ling of the bales, may result in
raising the selling value of the
fiber materially. This is true
every year. During the present
season, however, the restricted
crop and limited supplies at
the mills, coupled with the
steady demand, have sent
prices to high levels, making
the increase in returns to the
grower for each higher grade
proportionately greater. The
advantages in receiving the
highest possible grade are so
.obvious under the present fav
orable marketing conditions,
that many farmers no doubt
will adopt the more careful
methods which make the high
er values possible.
Ordinarily the matter of
grades does not receive nearly
enough attention. As a result,
farmers lose several million
dollars annually. This loss
would be proportionately great
er under the prices this year
if there were no improvement
in handling practices. In 15)11
the average price of middling
was 9.56 cents; in 1912, 12.20
cents; in 1913, 13,49 cents; in
1914, 7.94 cents, and in 1915,
11.99 cents. Middling is now
selling around 16 cents.
The following suggestions
for practices which will tend
to raise cotton grades are made
by the cotton marketing spec
ialists of the United States De
partment of Agriculture.
Don’t pick cotton before it
has matured. This will insure
st.ron.orer fiV\t»r
Pick carefully to avoid mix
ing leaves and trash in youi
seed cotton. Don’t store the
seed cotton on the ground.Such
precautions will help keep the
lint clean and white.
Don’t have cotton ginned un
til it is thoroughly dry. Gin
ning while the cotton'is wet
produces a rough, neppy lint
which causes great waste in
spinning. Such cotton therefore
will not bring the best prices.
When practicable have the
ginner run his machinery slow
ly enough to produce an even,
smooth lint, and pay willingly
a slightly increased fee.
Protect your baled cotton
carefully from dust, smoke and
moisture, either hauling it to
market or storing it on the farm
or elsewhere.
It also pays to handle and
store cotton seed carefully.This
product is easily damaged if
stored on the ground, permit
ted to get wet, or otherwise
carelessly handled. Cotton seed
is now selling at high prices
and the farmer, therefore, will
profit by keeping it in such
condition that it will top the
market. It will also pay him to
keep the seed in good condi
tion for planting.
BOY ACCIDENTALLY

Young man, don’t lament be- j
cause you were not born into!
this world with a silver spoon
in your mouth. Don’t worry be
cause you do not have a rich
father. Don’t grieve over the
thought that poverty is your
worst handicap.
The most successful captain
of industry in this country
came into the world as poor as
you are, some of them much
poorer, but they had plenty of
capital of the best kind .If you
haven’t it, it is probably your
own fault.
Better than money and in
j heritance, a settled income or
a bank account, for the young
i man who wishes to succeed in
business, is his health.
This is the foundation of all
I things substantial and real in
life so far as happiness is con
cerned.If,together with health,
you have character, intelli
gence, industry and politness,
you have the things that con
stitute the most valuable capi
tal with which to start upon
your business career.
Every moment you spend re
pining over your condition and
envying the success of others,
or in anxiety because you do
not move as fast as some one
else who had a better start, is a
wasted moment.
Think of the successful men
who started as you are starting.
Judge Gary, head of the most
important steel corporation,
was a farmer boy; A. Barton
Hepburn, the eminent New
York banker, was a school
teacher; John D. Rockefeller
was clerk in a grocery; Andrew
Carnegie, a telegraph opera
tor; Henry C. Frick, master
builder of the steel industry
and possessor of one of the
finest art galleries in the world
worked on a farm during vaca
tion to get his start; John D.
Archbold, president of the
Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey, was a struggling sales
man in the early days of the oil
excitment in Pennsylvania, and
Frank A. Vanderlip, president
or one or me greatest banks in
New York, was a newspaper
reporter in Chicago.
These are not solitary exam
ples. You can find them all
about you in every community.
It is the common history of
nearly every successful busi
ness man in the United States.
Think of these men. Emulate
their example. You have all
they had when they started,
perhaps more, so you start ev
en.
Young men, it is for you to
start fresh, buoyant, hopeful,
healthy and happy on the high
way that leads to success.
Start right.—Leslie’s Weekly.

Why Suffer With Backache,
Kidneys or Rheumatism How?
I.rVnr Trlhs of Long-lookad-for Prrsrriptioru
I>,sir Headers— If I can do any good In
world for others, I wish to do it, and
I feel that it is inv duty to write about
tiie wonderful results I received from the
use of " Anurie.” 1 was suffering from
iculney and bladder troubles, scalding
urine, backache and rheumatism, and feet
and ankles swelled so that at times I
could not walk without assistance
lad taken several different kinds of
kidney remedies but all failed. I sent
lor a box of Dr. Tierce's newest dis
covery, ' Anurie.” which 1 received by
mail in table t form. I soon got bettor
and am convinced that this popular
new medicine is good. I wish to rec
ouimend it to my neighbors and every
body suffering from such troubles.
Mrs. M. J. Sakoeot.
Note: You’ve all undoubtedly heard
of the famous Dr. Tierce and his well
known medicines. Well, this prescrip
tion is one that has been successfully
used for many years by the physicians
and specialists at Dr. Tierce’s Invalids’
Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo,
N. Y., for kidney complaints, and dis
eases arising from disorders of the kid
neys and bladder, such as backache,
weak back, rheumatism, dropsy, conges
tion of the kidneys, inflammation of the
bladder, scalding urine, and urinary
troubles.
Up to this time, "Anurie” has not
been on sale to the public, but by the
persuasion of many patients and the
increased demand for this wonderful
healing Tablet, Doctor Pierce has finally
lec-idis! to put it into the drug stores of
.his country within immediate reach of
all sufferers.
[■Simply ask for Doctor Pierce’s Anurie
Tablets. There can be no Imitation.
