While we are striving for busi
ness success, wealth and power,
and are cutting out the non-essen
tials, we should not forget that
courtesy is still an asset in all
business life.
Every young farmer should
strive to own a home. The home
owner has more opportunity for
efficient service to his community,
county and state and the comfort
and pleasant of living on ones own
farm is not to be compared to
renting. Rent if you are not able
to buy, but make your plans for
owning your home.
According to a report just issued
by the U. S. Department of Agri
culture, 164,000 square miles of
territory in Southern States have
been cleared of the Texas fever
tick. This is nearly one-fourth of
total area infested at the time the
eradication work was begun. It is
evident that the days of the ticks
are numbered, and that the south
is going to enjoy a large and profit
able part in meeting the demands
for a greater meat supply.
Press reports from Chicago say
that fewer cattle, by 281,298, were
received at the Chicago stock
yards during 1912 than in 1911.
Despite this falling off in the re
ceipts, $3,282,735 more was paid
out in that market for cattle than
was paid during 1911. There is a
point in this that is worthy of con
sideration by the farmer. There
is an increasing demand for beef
cattle. Not only for beef cattle,
but there is a good demand for
stock of all kinds at good prices.
The farmer who devotes his farm
to raising stock and feed pro
ducts, has a market all the year
round for his products at good
prices, and in addition he is adding
to the fertility and productiveness
of his farm. Give us more farm
ers who raise stock, and soon the
average yield of corn in this coun
try will be fifty per cent greater
than it now is.

FARMERS SHOULD
GET GOOD SEED
Good Yield of Crops of This Year
Depends Largely on Kind
of Seed You Plant
It is now time to begin consider
ing the subject of planting seed.
A farmer can no more afford to
have scrub plants on his place
than he can afford to have it
stocked with scrub animals.
Scrubs, whether plants or animals,
require just as much attention and
consume just as much food as do
their fellows of quality and breed
ing, but they do not produce half
the results in return. The man
who raises scrubs of any kind ab
solutely wastes a large amount of
time and valuable food materials.
To have good plants a man
must have good seed. Even to
have a stand of plants of any kind
he must plant better seed than
many are in the habit of planting,
for much of the seed planted every
year contains a large amount of
faulty or decayed matter which
never germinates. Asa result w c •.
have a familiar cry all over the i
country that there is no stand of
corn and no stand of cotton. This
causes a big loss of time and mon
ey. It is probably safe to say that
five bushels of corn and 100
pounds of seed cotton to the acre
could be added to the crops j
each year by replacing the present
crib or gin-run mongrel seed sup
ply with well bred, high quality
seed. This would repay our farm
ers many times over for the
trouble and expense of producing
good seed.
_ „ J
W here can a rarmer secure seea
of good quality? If he took a lit
tle time and selected some of the
best products from his fields dur
ing the fall, as some of our pro
gressive farmers did, he can get
the best seed from his own seed
house or crib. If he failed to do
that he can purchase it from those
I who are growing -or selling good
I seed, provided he knows who
! those people are and will take the
precaution of buying early. Let
those who intend to buy seed, buy
now’ or just as soon as possible. Un
less you know where good seed
can be obtained it would be well
to write to one or more of the fol
lowing persons: C. W. Watson,
State Agent U. S. Dept. Agricul
ture, Little Rock; Prof. M. Nelson,
Secretary Arkansas Corn Improv
ment Association, Fayetteville; J.
H. Page, Commissioner of Agri
culture, Little Rock; L. A. Mark
ham, I. M. Agricultural Commis
sioner, Little Rock. These men
are in touch with the best seed
breeders and will give you reliable
information free of charge.
If you are a farmer, let one of
your first acts of the year be the
purchase of good seed.
