A Good Motto Fop Farmers.
“Fertilize" with no manure
Makes both farm and farmer poor,
But "fertilize,'' manure and peas
Will build up run-down farms with
ease.”
If every farmer in Arkansas
would memorize this little motto
and recite it every day 'till its truth
had time to soak in, and then live
up to its truth, Arkansas , would
soon be much better prepared to
feed herself. Diversified farming
won't rbn itself without a “diversi
fied man” to conduct it.
The old Arkansas cotton fields
now lie brown and bare in a mute
appeal to their owners to wake up
and begin to feed them. If Arkan
sas is to feed herself, she must be
gin to feed her fields that for years
have been yielding up their original
store.
Diversified crops do not insure a
permanent farming system unless
marketed chiefly through live
stock. This is the experience of
every old farming community in
the world. The stock work for
the farmer every day in the year.
They are always in demand on the
market with at least a fair price.
They leave on the farm at least
four-fifths of the ferterlizing va'ue
of the feeds they consume.
A 1000 pound animal produces
about one ton of manure per
month. With our average feeding
this is worth at least $2 for the
plant food it contains. Its further
effect on the soil when a light coat
fs turned under every two or three
years is to make a healthy, vigor
ous crop growth and resist drouth.
The most prosperous small farm j
ers found during the profitable j
farming campaign were those who
h^d a feeding shed for stock and
were hauling the stored up manure |
to their fields and gardens. They
.
had money coming in eyery few |
weeks and their fields were as pro
ductive as ever.
Right now is the time to save up
all the manure and get a start in i
the right system. It won’t be long ;
until we can say in Arkansas as;
they do in many other states, 1
“Everybody's doing it.”

Largest Cotton Crop on Record.
The Department of Agriculture
estimates the 1914 cotton crop at
15.969,000 bales. This is the
largest production in the history of
the cotton industry. The 1911
crop held the record to the present
year, with a production of 15,690,
701 bales. It is estimated that
there are two million bales in the
field, much of it deserted by dis
couraged farmers and which will
probably never be gathered.
The 1914 crop also ranks among
the largest in production per area,
averaging 208 pounds per acre and
reaches the low water mark in
price. The price officially esti
mated for the 1914 crop is 6 cents
per pound against an average price
of 12 cents per pound in 1913 and
a production of 182 pounds per
acre.
