ROY M. CRAIG, Business Manager
For More Profitable Farming.
H. M. Cottrell, the new head of the Agri
cultural Bureau of the Little Rock Board of
Commerce, is making a splendid start in his
work for better and more profitable farming
in Arkansas.
Mr. iCottrell has started a campaign
throughout the state to increase the value of
the farm products of Arkansas three million
dollars this year.
I his can easily be done, and it the tarm
ers of Arkansas will heed the things Mr. Cot
trell is preaching to them, they will find them
selves on the highway to permanent prosperity.
The progress made in farming in Arkansas
during recent years is sufficient to justify the
hope that greater progress will be made during
the next few years.
We have not even begun to approach the
limit of agricultural improvement in Arkansas.
But the future of farming in Arkansas
will depend very largely upon the young men.
Most of the problems of increased production
will have to be solved by the young men.
The average yield of all crops produced
in Arkansas is far below what it should be.
This is a matter that lies directly with the in
dividual farmer, but it affects the state as a
w'hole. As a result, the state suffers in com
parison with some other states, where product
ive conditions are not near so favorable to the
farmer as they are in Arkansas.
The Journal has watched Mr. Cottrell’s
work writh considerable interest since he came
to Arkansas recently from Tennessee where he
was engaged in similar work. He has shown
himself to be a practical man, of sound ideas
and good common hoss sense—and that’s the
kind of man the farmers like to tie to.
-y
Every farmer should teach his boys and
girls that a good education is a valuable assest
the worth of which can be reckoned in dollars
and cents in everyday life on the farm. He
should teach them that farming is a business,
and should be conducted on a business basis as
the merchant conducts his itore and the banker
runs the bank, and that every acre is a prospect
for more and better business every year. They
should be taught that farming is an occupation
that commands a high respect and yields a
goodly income if properly managed. And
among other things they should be taught the
community spirit—that nothing is out of reach
of a well organized community of live boosters
then, farming will become a broader incen
tive to the boys and girls of today and will re
sult in better farming and more satisfied homes.
-v.
Better breeding stock must be kept if we
are to improve the quality of our farm animals.
There is much difference in the price of a fine
draft horse as compared to a scrub pony. The
value of a 5-gallon cow when compared to an
animal that produces but one gallon is striking,
and yet the difference in the cost of keeping
the scrubs and the good producers is not great.
Why not raise pure-bred animals?—Farm and
Ranch.
-$*—
If we are not doing as well as we think
we ought to we may not have far to go for the
trouble. Most of usl have more time than we
actually need, more talents than we make use
of, and more friends than we keep in friendly
touch with. If we would make the most of ev
erything we would do better than we thought
possible.
Push Your Home Town
Push your town along, but don’t shove it
off the map.
Work for it, and not against it.
You may think that your lack of interest
in the town will have no injurous effect, but
you are wrong.
If you are anything but a numbskull there
are others who are always ready to follow your
lead, even though it result in the wrecking of
your home town.
You can’t keep your questionable acts un
der cover. They are bound to creep cut, and
once in the open they breed like mosquitos in
a swamp.
And you can’t kick your home town with
out breaking >rour own toe.
You can push your home town along by
encouarging home industries.
You can push it along by producing to the
limit and keeping the profits at home.
You can push it along by being of it as
well as in it, and remembering that every dollar
you keep in the town, is just that much addi
tional prosperity for the town and for you.
The home merchant knows you, is your
friend, and wants to see you succeed.
The mail order man doesn’t know you,
don’t care a rap about you, and never wants to
see anything but your money.
-^
It is said that rats destroy two hundred
million dollars worth of property annually in
the United States. It is very probable that rats
waste enough in Independence county every
year to pay all the taxes that are paid in this
county.
-Q
The United States is the first great nation
to adopt prohibition. The banishment of booze
clears the way to a higher civilization and the
action of this country will give an immense im
pulse to the cause of world wide prohibition.

Any fool can criticise. But mere criticism
does not point a better way. So unless you
can advance s^me suggested improvement
along with your criticism, better hold your
tongue and saw wood.

The Little Old Home Paper
AUTHOR UNKNOWN
When the evenin’ shade is failin’ at the endin’
o’ the day,
An' a teller rests from labor smokin’ his pipe o’
clay.
There’s nothin’ does him so much good, be for
tune up or down,
As the little country paper from his ol’ heme
town.
It ain’t a thing o’ beauty an’ its print ain’t al
ways clean,
But it straightenens out his temper when a fel
ler’s feelin’ mean;
It takes the wrinkles off his face, an’ brushes
off the frown,
That little country paper from his ol’ home
town.
It tells of all the parties an’ balls of Pupkin
row,
Bout who spent Sunday with his girl an’ how
the crops’ll grow;
How it keeps a feller posted ’bout who is up
an’ who is down,
That little country paper from his ’ol home
town.
Now I like to read the dailies and the story
papers, too.
And at times the yallow’ in vels an’ some other
trash—don’t you?
But when I want some readin’ that will brush
away a frown,
I want that little paper from my ol’ home town.

milk in winter
Why do your cows give less
milk in winter than they do in
summer? Just because nature
does not supply them with
grasses and green food. But
we have come to the assistance
of nature with B. A. 1 hornas
Stock remedy which contains
the very ingredients that the
green feed supplies in season,
only, of course, in a more high
ly concentrated form. W e
guarantee that this remedy
will make your cows give more
milk, and better milk, with the
same feed. F. C. Hoyt & Co.;
Jiinerson Bros.; Herrington &
Son.

Suppose your house should
burn tonight? What about

If you haven’t already done
so, better see E. G. Magness
and take out some insurance.
