Trom Che St. I.ouis Sundav Olobc-Dcmccnat of I chru.trv 4, IflOw
Know anything about Arkansas;
Possibly you may recall hearing
mention of Italy and the Congo
region and Jersey flats and a few
other lands you will never see in
the flesh or the spirit; hut the!
question now awaiting reply is:
“What do you know about Arkan
was?" Hold on! ^ ou are expos
ing your ignorance the first dash
out of the box. The last sellable
of the name is neither “sassM nor
“suss,1' but must be pronounced
to rhyme with the sixth note in the
musical scale l lte state legisla
ture says its “Ah-kan-sah.’’ and if
you pronounced it differently its a
breach of statute. Hut why should
Arkansas be in closer touch with
the rest of the world;
Arkansas h a trifle more easy of
access to average mortals than
some of the other countries enum
erated or hinted at in the proceed
ing'paragraph The Iron Moun
tain system reaches the state and
runs through it and criss-erosses
in every which wa.\. (Meat state
for railroad building, anywa.t.
(iot started to string out cross ties
and laying rails long before the
civil war, and somehow she can’t
stop. Built 147 miles in 1U01, oil
in l'.K)2, 192 in 19o3 and 201 in
1904. Too early to give the fig
ures for last year, but twelve
months ago there were 1.047 miles
in operation. Only two states in
the south have more miles of rail
road, and there is not one that
gives its roads better local support
in the way of steady traffic.
You presume that every eitizi n
is an “Arkansas Traveler C Well
youv’e got another guess coming
Recent statistics show that Arkan
sas has within her borders 2f»7> 23,'s
families, and of these 120,4S l own
their homes. Again, for these
207).2-'Its families there are 2V0,O0O
dwellings not flats, but whole
houses. Consequently, Arkansas
has only in the neighborhood of J
0,000 men living with their wives’
people or in some other man's
back kitchen.
There neve!- was hut one Arkan
sas Traveler. He died long years
ago, but to this day his stay-at
home. hard-working neighbors
have not ceased to discuss and cu>s
his peculiarities.'
Iii 1900, when accurate data wan
last secured, Arkansas was credit
ed with 17n.<‘>94 farms, aggregat
i«»tr 1*»,t>3*»,711* acres, or a trifle
over 93 acres to the farm if you
eare to strike an average. The
estimated value of these farms,
with imrovements and buildings,
was $135,1*2,170. If land ma.v be
valued by what it is capable of
producing, the figures just given
are likely to mislead. Let us sec
what these Arkansas farms yielded
last year: Cotton (1904 05), $37,
>40,531; corn, $21,o7S,056; wheat,
$1,40\327; oats, $1,639,217; rye,
$23,157: hay, $1,25 t,374; tobacco,
$102,>02. Over sixty-three and
one-third millions for the farmers
todevide -but wait a minute! We
are forgetting $1,040,70S worth of
' potatoes.and the little sorghum
patches with their yield of $3<'»s,
>10, and the vegetables, represent
a value of $3,0:15,343. We are
forgetting how the good wife hus
tled around in the spring rains to
feed and coop the young chickens,
and how we figured up receipts
for poultry and eggs that fall and
[found a total of $4,50S.143 in
spite af all losses by hawks and
egg-sucking hounds. Maybe chick
ens and eggs can’t be classed as
products of the soil, but how about
the fruit crop' Losing sight of
that, too, it amounted to a snug
| Tittle sum $1,931.<>25. Oh, yes,
I Arkansas raises a '‘sight” of dif
ferent crops, and “right smart”
of every one of them. That’s the
j reason they needed railroads down
there —and have got ’em.
Opie Read and ti lot of other
writers have spread the impression
that the sole end and purpose of
life in Arkansas is to sit on the
. fence and watch for the passing of i
some stranger with a generous |
heart and a plug of ‘"store ter bar le
er.” As a matter of fact, every-1
body works down there, even to
the hoes, as is evidenced b.v the j
million and a half pounds of honey
produced last year; and it is an !
easy guess that for every colony
of tame bees in the state there#are
a hundred wild ones that statisti
eians never hear about. 'Fuming
j from domestic insects to domestic
animals, Arkansas possessed on
the 1st day of .January, lbbo, 2o.'> -1
41i> horses, 15<S,.>()o mules, 2.s< >,*<;:5;
| milch cows and 47o,i>:»4 head of
j other cattle, to say nothing of up
wauls of 2<>(),000 sheep :ind the
Lord only knows how many goats
S and coon dogs. There was no use j
I trying to count the hogs,* for aj
larger part of them were in the
woods hustling for themselves and
getting fat as butter on acorns and
wild fruits in their proper seasons.
It isn’t fashionable to feed your
hogs in Arkansas, and when one
speaks of his possession of swine
it is only in approximate numbers.
The pigs are ear-marked and “ski
dooed into the thicket, and no one
bothers about them until it comes
time to re-stock the smokehouse
with nice, juicy hams and slabs oi
side meat. This is done in Arkan
sas, mind you. where novelist de
sribe the natives as eking out a
miserable existence by digging
| ginseng and making moonshine
whisky; where we are told tin*
children wear but:i single garment
of homespun and home-woven
cotton, and hide behind the chim
| ney and under the bed upon the
advent of strangers; where a citi
1 zen with a knowledge of the “three
Its” is supposed to have his pick
and choice of the country oftiices,
[land is invariably addressed as
I Colonel. Such is the “Arkansaw”
of romance; how about the real
facts in the case i
In 15)04 Arkansas paid 7,7b4
teachers the neat little sum of
s?l,472,d25, ju>t to look after the
mental training of 33*,542 pupils.
This gives you a line on what the
"kids'’ were doing when the nov
elists suspected them of being un
der the bed. Coming down to a
later date we tine that in the last
three months of 15105 there -were
ninety-seven important industrial
enterprises established in the state,
ranging from cotton compresses,
and gas works down to canning
factories and rice mills. Kvident
l.v the “colonel” has got off the
fence and gone to work, with a.
view of buying his tobacco. Per
haps his experience as a “sang”
digger got him into the notion of
going deeper to see what he could
find, and the result of his mining
| operations in 15)04 footed up $4,
105*, 05*1. The wonderfully rich
, mining region on the upper White*
river, lately traversed by one of
those many branches of the Iron
Mountain system, has been re
nowned for its "sang” since the
days of the earliest settlers. Lum
bering is an older industry than
mining, down there, and so it ie
natural that we should lind several
of the "colonels” operating saw
mills and woodworking plants.
The census man, six years ago,
I found 115)5* such establishments,
representing an investment, of
some $22,<*00.000, and with an
annual product amounting to con
siderably more than that sum.
By doubling the figures all around
the present status of the business
would be pretty accurately reached,
for the world lias awakened to the
fact that Arkansas has the greatest
visible supply of oak, gum and
cypress, to say nothing of her pine*
cedar and other woods that the
aforesaid world cannot very well
; get along without.
Now. you can’t well help being
! edified l>.v learning these facts,
even if you forget them the next
minute as you probably will.
Statistics are not to be rememb
ered in detail, but merely to im
press upon your mind a hazy idea
that certain things or certain re
sults were a whole lot bigger than
you origall.v imagined. People
can't get intimately acquainted
with Arkansas at long range the
only way to properly accomplish
this is to cross the state boundary
at Moark and take a leisurely, op
en-eyed jaunt through the big
woods, wonderful mineral region*
and rich agricultural lands, with it
casual glance at the prosperous
and growing cities along your
route. We’ll try to see you again,
when you come back to wind up
all airs preparatory to going to
Arkansas to stop, and will then i>e
pleased to give details where we
have been content for the present
to deal with generalities.
