ARKANSAS LAW MAKERS
ON BIG TRIP
(Continued from front page)
and Prof. P. H. Ross spoke at
the luncheon.
Many comments were made
by the visitors on the various
buildings and laboratories of
the school. Such expressions
as “this is fine/’ this is a treat j
for me,” I was not aware that'
a College of agriculture has to
much to it,” were common
among the visitors.
One state Senator said:
“Where are those fine
horses and cattle? I am a
stockman when it comes toi
them. I make my living prac-j
ticing law but I can’t see a
yood horse, a cow, a pig om
even a good dog without wish-;
ing I was a farmer.”
“Hurry up Bill you are miss
ing something,” said one mem
ber to another, “y°ii can dis
cuss the weather after you
get home.” “Better take
notes fellows,” admonished
one of the leaders of the dele
gation, “we can’t remember all
we see and hear.”
The feelings of the solons
were well expressed by t*ov
ernor-elect T. C. McRae when
in an intense talk late this
afternoon he pledged his word
rs governor he will do every
thing in his power to secure
f^r Arkansas farmers benefits
similar to those enjoyed by
Missouri. He called on the
members of the legislature to
do their part of the work
necessary to secure these ad
vantages for their state as
soon as possible.
The Arkansans were told that
the Missouri Agricultural Col
lie has 1,550 students and
that annually it sends 500
trained men back to the farms
°f the state. Fifty thousand
farmers share in the benefits
°f the college’s co-ooerative
work everv year. College au

card or letter and we will mail a copy free.
This book is not what the Ford Motor Company .has to say
about the Fordson Tractor, but what the tens of thousands of users
have to say. Get the book! It is yours for the asking. Keep in
mind the fact that behind every Fordson Tractor are all the re
sources of the great Ford Motor Company, likewise that reliable
“Ford After-Service” which assures the keeping of the Tractor in
working order every day in the year. Remember also that the
Fordson Tractor, like the Ford car, is simplicity itself in design and
construction; easy to understand and easy to operate. Come in
and let us tell you more about it. It is more important to the farmer
today than anything else.
The Age of Machine Power on the Farm is no longer a mat
ter of speculation; it is here—an established fact. It is the latest
advanced step cicvilization has taken. It comes to the farmer with
the full promise to lift the great burden of drudgery and wearisome,
wearing-out toil from the muscles of man and carrying them with
much more profit by power of machinery, with the result that larger
production, more comfort and greater wealth will come to the farm
homes wTierever the Fordson is employed. Come in and talk it over.

lege have been followed
throughout the state they have
averaged seven dollars’ in
crease in profits to the acre.
* See Students at Work.
The legislators were shown
the students at work curing
meats, packing fruit and op
erating farm and dairy ma
chinery. They inspected the
college’s choice herds of the
leading breeds of horses, beei'
and dairy cattle, hogs and
sheep. They were told that
these herds were started with
from one to three animals.
They were shown the results of
the field tests that have been
carried on for 30 years. They
saw a cow that had produced
13 tons of milk in one year and
they saw several cows that
have produced a half-ton of
butter in a year. They saw
large flocks of poultry with
many hens that have laid more
than 200 eggs a year. The
college has been the leading
force in the movement that
has brought the poultry indus
try to a point where the sales
average $300,000.00 a year.
No Large Appropriations.
It was said that the Missouri
college never has enjoyed
large appropriations but it has
been fortunate in securing the
services of a strong faculty
and it has been through the
efforts of these educators that
the college has become a great
institution.
F. B. Mumford, dean of the
Missouri College personally
conducted the Arkansans over
the college buildings and
farms and carried out in every
detail the program that had
been announced. The legis
lators Tuesday were a tired lot
but they were highly enthusias
tic over the day’s activities.
