Disposing of Surplus Fruits and Vegetables
Arkansas will have a big crop ol
fruit to dispose of this year. Na
turally some of this fruit will be
defective and a certain percentage
of it will become over ripe and ir
either case it will be unsuitable for
shipment. There will . also be a
surplus of garden vegetables pro
duced on many farms, but in mosl
instances this surplus will not be
large enough for a profitable ship
ping business.
Buy you a home earning ouim
at once and get to work. Begir
with the strawberries and latei
turn your attention to blackberries
and various garden vegetables
such as bpan, peas, tomatoes anc
green corn. During the summei
and fall you will find plenty of wort
on the peaches, pears, sweet pota
toes and pumpking.
Anyone of average intelligence
' ought to be able to make frorr
$10 to $25 every day that he putt:
in at this work during the spring
summer and fall.
A good outfit will not cost you
much. A machine with a capaci
ty, say. of 200 to 1000 cans per
day should not cost more than $8
to $15 and machines large enough
to take care of large crops of fruits
and vegetables can be purchased
for from $25 to $75. Write the
Agricultural College. Fayetteville,
for the names of reliable dealers in
home canning machinery.

Gentleman's Agreement.
A well known Kansas bankei
told a story the other day about the
statute of limitations. There is e
smile in it. plus good philosophy.
One day an old Southernei
walked into this banker's office
The Southerner was a typical gen
tleman of the old school; suave
courteous to the point of punctili
ousness. and honorable to a degre<
of martyrdom.
“What can can I do for you?'
asked the banker.
“Well,” replied the Southerner
“about thirty-five years ago
loaned a man down South som<
money not a very big sum.
told him that whenever 1 shouh
need it 1 would let him know an<
he could pay me the money. I nee<
some money now. so 1 will let hin
know and would like to have yoi
transact the business for me.”
"My good friend.” replied th
banker, “you have no claim on tha
money. You can’t hold that ma
to that loan. You say it has beei
thirty-five years since you loane^
it to him. The statute of limitia
tions has run against that loa
years and years ago.”
“Sir,” replied the Southernei
“the man to whom I loaned tha
money is a gentleman. The stat
ute of limitations never runs ou
against a gentleman."
So the banker sent for th
money. And within a reasonable
time thereafter the money came.
There was a courtly gentleman at
the other end of the transaction
also.- Kansas City Journal.
A Cash Offer.
The News has made a specia:
clubbing rate with The Memphis
Commercial Appeal by which we
will furnish both papers for one
year for the sum $1.15. The reg
ular subscription price of both pa
pers is $1.50. The Commercial
Appeal is one of the largest and
best papers in the South, and we
hope to receive many new sub
scriptions on this offer: $1.15 cash
or both papers.
Gel Good Stock.
It is because we wish to see the
South take its rightful place as an
agricultural section, and Southern
farmers receive a just reward for
the work of their hands that we
protest against this idea that good
livestock and good farming meth
ods are not for the average farmer.
They most emphatically are. and if
he is ever to become a good farmer
to make his land good, to have a
good home and a good bank ac- !
count, he must get rid of the fool
ish notion that he has to wait until i
he has lots of money before he
goes to farming in the right way.
To place one’s dependence in scrub
farm animals, or to imagine that
any farm animal can give the most
profit when allowed to shift for
I itself, is not good farming. Such
theories for these are theories as
; wild and baseless as any "scient
I ist' ever promulgated have done
much to keep the South in its pres
ent backward condition and we can
not get rid of them one moment
too soon.-- Progressive Farmer.
