est hogs ever slaughtered in Inde

The hog was 18 months old, and
had been fed with corn for six
months. This shows what profit
there may be in hog raising in

ARKANSAS SCHOOLS
ATTRACT SETTLERS
Former University President Com
mends Progressive Spirit of
Our Country Schools
I -
The greatest advertising feature
Arkansas has today, and the chief
attraction to people moving out
of the older states, according to
Dr. Henry S. Hartzog former pres
ident of the University at Fayette
ville, is the improvements made
in the secondary schools of the
state. Dr. Hartzog now lives in
St. Louis, and in a recent state
ment given the press he says:
“Missouri lost many people in
the past decade, and many of
these went to Arkansas because
! the country schools are progress
ive and well equipped. The farm
j ers are moving away from the old
jer states, selling their land for
jhigh prices and going to states
where the land is cheap. They se
! lect the states which are making
the most progress in educational
matters, and Arkansas stands
without a peer in advancement of
this natue, and the whole world is
begining to recognize it.’*
