The Men Who are Today Lifting the World Upward and Onward are Those Who Encourage More Than Criticise
BIG REWARD FOR
PAROQUET FIREBUG
Governor Donaghey Offers $50€
For the Conviction of Party
Guilty of Arson
Governer Donaghey has offered
a reward of five hundred dollars
for the arrest and conviction of
the party or parties who are sup
posed to have burned a number of
buildings near Paroquet in this
county about a year ago.
Four buildings were burned in
that vicinity by supposed incen
diaries, three of them being resi
dences on C. P. Vaughan’s place
and the other a sawmill shed at
Paroquet, and in each instance
only a short interval of time elaps
ed between the fires.
The last building burned on Mr.
Vaughan’s place was about a year
ago, and no clue has ever been dis
covered as to who started any of
these fires. Circumstances sur
rounding the destruction of all the
buildings show that it was the
work of an incendiary, and there
having been no developments to
indicate who the firebugs were, the
governor issued a proclamation
Tuesday offering the reward above
stated for the apprehension and
conviction of the guilty party.

RECORD COTTON
CROP NEXT YEAR
Markham Says Conditions Indi
cate Big Crop, and Points
Out the Folly of it
Are we to have a record break
ing cotton acreage in Arkansas
next year? Let us hope not; still,
many replies to inquiries which
the writer has recently made point
to this conclusion. Even the most
casual observer must have noticed
that there is far less talk in the
papers this fall than last about the
organization of fruit and vege
table growers’ associations. There
is the same indifference towards
other lines of diversification and
everybody seems satisfied with
cotton.
It seems now fairly certain that
we shall have a very big crop of
cotton next spring, with a very
low price for cotton next fall. For
goodness sake let us cut the cot
ton crop short. Every farmer
knows that a 13,000,000 bale crop
of cotton will actually sell for a
larger sum of money than a 16,
000,000 bale crop. Besides, it costs
much less to produce the 13,000,
000 bale crop and there is much
more time left for other things.
When we are making a 16,000,
000 bale crop of cotton we have
no time to the corn crop, the hay
crop, the meat crop, or even the
family garden. Thousands of
farmers every year buy Illinois
and Iowa raised corn at 75 cents
and $1 a bushel that they could
prodoce at 25-cents a bushel, and
meat at 15 cents to 18 cents a
pound that they could raise at 3
to 5 cents a pound. Hundreds of
farmers even buy canned vege
tables at 15 cents a quart that they
could produce for 25-cents a bush
el. With such economy as this it
is no wonder that many farmers
have to fight tooth and nail to
keep the wolf from the door.
Let us have a big crop of corn,
a big crop of oats, a big crop of
sweet and Irish potatoes and a fine
vegetable garden, instead of so
much cotton, on the average farm
next year. Then let each
farmer procure hogs enough to
make his home supply of meat,
and produce his milk and butter
poultry and eggs at home.
All this will insure the living at
home. Then by way of further re
ducing the cotton crop let each
community plant for a few cars of
potatoes and put in several hun
dreds acres of peanuts for the
market. They are a better money
crop than cotton and just as ready
a sale. This is the way to regulate
the cotton crop and cotton prices
—make the living at home, then
divide the balance of our attention
between cotton and other money
crops. L. A. Markham
