Arkansas, as second class mail matter
The White county grand jury
has just adjourned, after return
ing 646 indictments. It rather
seems that “a few” White coun
ty folks have been acting ugly.
The Little River News thinks
that the Hon. Joe T. Robinson
made a very serious mistake when
he failed to be born triplets. Had
he been triplets he could have
been congressman, governor .and
senator all at the same time.
The boys and girls of the south
west hold the keys to our future
prosperity. In their hands must
be committed the work that we
have begun. Let us encourage
them help train them and assist
them to make a start.—Farm and
Ranch. __________
Chief Justice Shields of the
Tennessee supreme court was
elected U. S. Senator by the legis
lature of that state, and now there
is a scramble among the politicians
for the vacant seat on the supreme
bench. Verily, in this age of
greed, the thirst for office causes
statesmanship to get many a black '
eye. _
The schools of Arkansas are all
in need of money to give the boys
and girls better training in order
that they may make more efficient
men and women. The legislature
should quit playing politics and do
something for the educational in
terests of Arkansas, which now
stands forty-third among the states
in education.
It was a politician rather than
a moralist who wrote of man’s in
alienable right to “the pursuit of
happiness.” Moralists know that
you cannot overtake happiness by
pursuing it, but that it will come
to you, if it comes at all, when
you have become so absorbed in
some other pursuit that you have
ceased to think about it.—Youths
Companion.
Clay Sloan of Lawrence county,
former agricultural commissioner,
and one of the most successful
farmers in North Arkansas, says
in a recent issue of the Arkansas
Homestead, that cattle north of
the quarantine line are selling for
$3 a head more than they can be
sold for south of this line. The
tax books show that there are 14,
707 head of cattle in Independence
county. It is probably safe to say
that 4,000 head of cattle are ship
ped out of this county every year
to Northern markets. If this is
true, and if these cattle could be
sold for even $2.50 per head more
than they now bring, it would put
$10,000 more money into the
pockets of the farmers of Indepen
dence county every year. The
government offers to raise the
Quarantine restrictions if we com
ply with certain regulations. Will
we be governed by intelligence
and reason, and comply with these
requirements, and thereby add to
our prosperity, or will we be gov
erned by ignorance and prejudice,
to our own financial loss?
Arkansas’ total corn yield for
last year is estimated at 52,163,000
bushels. The average yield per
acre was 20i bushels, as compared
with 18i bushels for Oklahoma,
18£ bushels for Louisiana, 18i
bushels for Mississippi, 21 bushels
for Texas, 23| for Kansas and 32
bushels for Missouri. Arkansas
is as good corn state as Missouri
and we should be producing 35
bushels, instead of 20, and when
our folks get down to real farming
it will be done.
