Sharp County record., 1878-10-17
CENTER, ARK, Oct. 18th, 1878.

Now that the gathering season is
most over and the farmers are stor-
ing away or sending to market the
products and enjoying the profits
of their farms, we reasonably look
for some report of the present years
yield, but, so far, have failed to see
any. Why is it, now that we have
a RECORD, that the farmers and all
other classes don't profit by it and
advertise their lands and products
The reason is certainly the result of
a want of organization. Then sup
pose that each township organize
into club, and at some suitable
time in the spring, have meeting
and each one report the number Of
acres planted Of the various kinds of
crops, let the secretary condonse
the same and report to the county
paper. In the same way in the fall,
make report Of the average yield
per acre Of the several crops. But
as | am not farmer, l will leave
that matter for some enterprising
farmer to set in order.
Health in this vicinity is quite
good, the weather very dry and
business rather dull. The crops are
very short-corn, about a half crop.
In consequence Of the yellow fever
being reported at Newport, the tide
of pedestrian cotton pickers has be-
gun to flow northMard, having ae--
quired but a small sum of the much
