ARKANSAS FARMERS
TO THE FRONT
It should be a matterofpride
to the people of Arkansas that
this state ranks third among
the Southern states in the in
crease of corn, wheat and oats,
for this year.
It is estimated that Arkan
sa will produce, this year, 23,
591.000 bushels of wheat, oats
and corn more than was pro
<lu ed in this state last year.
The yield of these crops in
Arkansas last year was 49,
805.000 bushels, while this
year the yield will be 73,456,
000 bushels, or nearly one
third more than last year.
Wheat, oats and corn are
not the only crops that will
show a big increase in Arkan
sas this year. Hay, rice, po
tatoes. sorghum and other
crops of a similar nature, will
show a marked increase.
Arkansas has stuck to the!
on -crop system of farming
* nlirelv too long, but the crop
finures for this year afford a
practical demonstration of
what can be done by the farm
ers of Arkansas under a system
of diversified farming.
i lie raising ot good nve
s »ek in connection with real
diversified and intensified tann
ing will bring permanent pros
perity to tho farmers or ArIo
annas.
The farmers of this state
h ve made a remarkably sue- j
ev sful start in the right direc
tion, and it is sincerely hoped
that the good work will be con
t ued on a broader scale each
succeeding year until the state
reaches the point in its agri
cultural development that will
mark it as one of the most re
s iurceful and prosperous states
in the South.
Some idea of how the Eu
ropean war is affecting agri
cultural conditions in the coun
tries now at war. may be gain
ed from a report .just issued
by the Department of Com
merce at Washington,. For a
number of years this country
h s been sellingabout $30,000,
000 worth of farm machinery
a year in Europe, but during
the fiscal year just ended less
than $10,000,000 worth of
American farm machinery was
sold to Europe. Instead of
buying farm implements and
other productive machinery
1 u: us. Europe is now buying
g ns. amunition, food and elo
t; eg from America. The eli
te forces of Europe have re-i
*d themselves into vast
machines of destruction, and
J’reduction has given way to
Destruction. Europe is suc
ceeding admirably in wiping
out her producers and her pro
du live resources, and it will
be a number of years before
the warring nations will be
able to produce enough of tin*
m ccessaries of life to supply
their needs.
A St. Louis shoe company
lies just refused to accept an
order from an European coun
try for a million pairs of shoes
for army purposes. If we were
making shoes, the only reason
we would turn down an order
like that would be because we
couldn’t make the shoes.
\\ here you find one man
who wants to work his way to
the top, you find dozens who
apparently seem to think they
will be able to talk their way
up.
The warring nations of Eu
rope continue to borrow mon
ey to buy trouble.

LIKE THEIR NEW HOME
Editor Journal.—I take this
method of letting my old
friends at Newark hear
from me, as there are so many
I can’t write perxonaly to all.
But I will be glad to receive
letters from all that care to
wrie me. We have a good
crop, but corn is now in
roastingear and needing rain.
So far we have had good heal
th here. We have been here
six months.
On Monday, July 5, a crowd
of girls, chaperoned by Mrs.
Noel and myself went picnie
ing on Cache river, and with
a good dinner, cream and lem
onade, we had a very enjoy
able time.
The place we went was on the
Cache,
C ouldn’t walk round much for
brush and trash;
When the noon hour arrived,
we hadn’t forgot,
For we had with us a time
keeping clock.
And you can guess we were as
hungry as a bear.
Each one wandering what the
others had rare.
And our spot was selected
close on the bank.
Where the trees grew both
large and rank.
There our dinner was spread,
the light bread sliced
We eat and eat ’till we declar
ed we were hurting.
From the nice cakes made by
Miss Burton.
We took negroes Lottie and
Emma to fish,
But instead, of this, they oat
ice cream by the dish.
1’hick as the brush was two
girls made it through,
And came running back in
overalls of blue,
With caps on their heads, they
were all in whirls,
Better looking boys, than they
were girls.
So this ended our picnic day,
We loaded in our wagons and
drove away.

ARMY WORMS COMING
The army worm, which ap
peared recently in Southern
and Central Texas, has begun
its march northward, and has
advanced as far as Louisianna.
The agricultural department in
an announcement this week said
there was little doubt that the
pests would continue to wok
further north, doing more and
more damage as it advanced.
Farmers who act in time, the
experts say, may do much to
protect their crops.
MANGLED IN RUNAWAY

afternoon when he was run ov
er by a wagon. The bones in

broken, skull fractured over

THE GENTLEMAN
AND THE GROUCH
Stand a gentleman and a
grouch side by side, and which
will command the greater re
pect?
Webster says that a gentle
man is aman o f“refined man
ners and good behavior while
the grouch is “gruff and mo
rose.”
It is easy for any man to be
a gentleman, and he has much
to gain and nothing to lose.
It is equally easy to be a
grouch, with everything to lose
and nothing to gain.
The gentleman has many
fiends and but few enemies,
while the grouch has many
: friends and but few enemies,
God smiles upon the gentle
man. while the devil smiles
at the gouch.
} Life is bright to the gen
tlemen. while to the grouch it
is full of gall.
I Be a gentleman if you can.
but don’t be a grouch.

Good Printing
Styles m Job frinting have undergone many
changes in the past few years. The old style ef
fect., with the big, gaudy type and fancy borders
have been replaced with more simple designs.
Present day business men who know the val
ue of good stationary, realize that the old, out
of date designs have no connections with modern
business methods. Consequently they use more dig
nified type faces and simplified designs in their
stationery, which not only makes a more favorable
impression upon those with whom they have busi
ness correspondence, but reflects the prosperity
of their business as well.
The equipment of The Journal’s Job Depart
ment is up-to-date in every respect. A splendid
new Linotype, good power presses, and a fine
assortment of the latest type faces, enable us to
handle any kind of printing promtly. Nothing but
the best material used, and our printing never
fads to please the most particular users of high
grade printing..
Our services are at your command six days in
the week.
