Money Grows But We
Have to Gather it
The Journal may have harp
ed on strawberries until our
readers are setting tired of it,
but when we see what straw
berries are doing for the farm
ers of other communities we
cannot keep off I hi' subject,
because we know that straw
berry growing would mean
more to the farmers of this
community than anything they
could take up.
Here is a remarkable story
of success that we get from
Bald Knob upon good authori
ty.
It is a story of how eight men
took 40 acres of non-produc
tive brush land, cleared it for
cultivation and made it produce
seventeen thousand dollars
worth of strawberries the past
season
And it might be mentioned
in passing that this little story
of success, coming from a
neighboring community, where
conditions are much the same
as they are in our own com
munity adds adittional proof
of the little recognized and
oft-forgotten fact that there
are opoprtunities lying at our
very doors and all around us,
if we only have the judgment
and common sense to recog
nize opportunity when we see
it, and have enough sand in
our gizard to roll up our sleeves
and DO it.
The people who DO are the
people who achieve. There
are hundreds of people in eve
ery community who see oppor
tunities for making money, but
they lack sand. No man ever
gets anywhere on the road to
success if he hasn’t got sand in
his gizzard.
Here’s the story of the eight
Bald Knobbers who had sand
in their gizzards:
In the fall of 1919 Tom
Humphrey and Ernest Willi
ams leased 40 acres of unelear-i
td brush land, cleared it up
and prepared it for strawberry j
plants- Being men of small
means, the proposition became
too big for them to finance the
entire deal and they divided
the land into eight five-acre
tracts and induced six other
men to take five acre tracts.
The berry plants were set in
1920 so as to yield their first
crop in 1921 and the following
was the result.
Tom Humphrey and € Dur
ham worked ten acres together
on a partnerchip baisis, and
trom their ten acres they pick
ed and sold $4,528 worth 0*
berries.
Ewen Hambry realized $2
471 from his five acres.
P- II. Humphrev had a low
! tract and the heavy rains dam
aged his crop, but he sold $1,
.‘>21 worth of berries from his
five acres.
T. R. Frizell had better suc
cess and realized $2,663 from
bis five acre tract.
Orvil Manees produced $1,
667 worth of berries from his
five acre tract
Ernest Williams had five
acres and sold $2,533 worth of
i berries.
Caldwell & Whitman had a
five acre partnership tract and
sold $2,012 worth of berries.
The toal value of the berries
produced on the forty acres
was a little more than $17,000.
It is estimated that $6,000 will
; cover the cost of plants, set
ting, cultivation, picking and
I cases, leaving $1 1,000 for the
first crop produced on 40 acres
of ordinary land.
We don’t have to go to Ok
lahoma, Texas, California, or
some other distant place to
find success. Sucess is lying
all around us all the time
There are lots of 40 acre tracts
of land around Newark that
are full of money. Rut it will
take men with sand in their
gizard to get it out.

The announcement of lion. *
W. A. Hodges of Newport as|‘
a candidate for congress from ^
the Second Congressional Dis- _>
trict appears in today’s paper, i
His home paper, the New- j
port Citizen, has the following
to say of Mr. Hodges' candi-j
dacv.
“Mr. Hodges is well and
favorably known all through
this section, having been born
and raised in Jackson county
where he has spent all his life
and who is now a citizen of
Newport. Having lived and
worked on a farm until 21
years of age, when he took up
school teaching for a number
of years, and then entred the
mercantile business at Bald
Knob, making quite a success
■of this venture. He is well
posted on the needs of this
district. In fact he has not
fallen down on any (line of
business that he has undertak
en, and we predict that he will
have the same success in poli
tics, that he has had in other
lines, as he is a hard, earnest,
conscientious worker in any
thing he undertakes, which
can have but one result, suc
cess.

He has been a life-long
Democrat, is a good citizen
and a capable man for office.
“As far as we can ascertain
Jackson county has never had
a representative in Congress,
but we predict that at the next
Democratic primaries we will
have one, and one well-fitted
for office.
“We can sincerely recom
mend Mr. Hodges to the voters
of this district as a true, earn
est worker for the best inter
ests of the section he repre
sents.
