MORE CORN

Corn, which is so easy to raise
i'm Arkansas, and which requires
so little time ana outlay in its
cultivation as compared with
cotton, is now retailing here at
from fifty-fve to sixty cents per
bushel. There maynOt be 'mill-
ions in it" at this price, but a
blind man can see that it is
much more profitable than cot
ton at seven and eight cents per
pound. IF it costs as much as
twenty-five cents per bushel
to raise corn the profit from
an acre Of bottom land which
viii yield sixty bushels under
good cultivation, will nearly or
quite double the meagre profit
from cotton at the pres
ent low rates. Then the adj
vantage in the corn crop is that
the farmer is not under the ne
cessity Of spending twelve
months in the year in making
his crop. He can have at least
seven or eight months to devote
to other crops or other business,
while in the case Of cotton it is
a perpetual tug for the year
round. Wherefore we say to
our farmers for the hundredth
time, raise more corn and less
cotton. The advice may not
lead to wealth, but we are con-
fdent that it will make our
farmers at least nearer self-sus-
tanning, and in these hard times
it is no small thing to come out
even at the end of the year.

SHARP COUNTY.
HER CLIMATE, SOIL, ADVANTAGES
AND RESOURCES.

HEX CLIMATE, SClLf ADF AN J. =ifi3'
AND RESOURCES.
Sharp county was established
bv the General Assembly Of
1863, and is bounded on the
north by the state Of Missouri,
on the east by Randolph and
Lawrence counties, on the sOuth
by Independence county, and
on the west by lizard and Fulton
counties. It's population is
about nine thousand. Since the
establishment Of the county all
Of the necessary public build
ings have been erected and are
paid for. The face Of the cOun-
try is generally undulating
though diversified with rich al
luvial bottoms and fiat upIands
In many places the hills are
lofty enough to be called noun
rains. The arabic lands are sus-
ceptibla Of producing large
Yields Of cotton, corn, wheat
rye, hay, oats, potatoes, tobacco
and field crops generally, while
vegetables of nearly every kind
may be produced to great per-
lection. and all fruits adapted to
the climate attain the highest
degree ofperfection underproper
culture. That portion Of the
and which is thought to be un-
fit for cultivation, on account OF
the stones which lie principally
upon its surface, produces, each
year. a IuXuriant crop Of wild
grass upon which large numbers
Of cattle thrive and fatten dur
inc the summer months, and
which. in many places, could be
DroftabIy saved as hay. On ac-
count Of the splendid range the
barrens afford, and their adapt
ability to the production Of the
tame grasses, stock raising and
sheep husbandry could be pur-
sued very profitabIy, especially
so on the lands last mentioned,
q large portion of which can be
had under the Z. S. homestead
law for almost the asking.
While on this subject we may
add that we are informed by a
gentleman engaged to some eX-
tent i'm the wool business, that
the wool from the common grade
Of sheep brings almost as good
a price in the market as that
produced on lands costing fifty
dollars per acre and upwards,
and where the sheep must be
fed daily. 1t therefore seems
that North Arkansas offers in
ducements to the wool producer,
superior to any other country.
Sharp county swell timbered,
excepting in the barrens. Sur
rounding Evening Shade is a
large scope Of country covered
by yellow pine, which is cut by
the saw mills in the vicinity in
to excellent building lumber
Health in this country is very
good indeed. We will venture
to say that no country in the en-
tire southwest snrpaSses it for
healthfulness-the malarial and
bilious diseases so prevalent in
a large scope of the west being
very rare here, except in a very
mild form in the densely wood
ed bottoms,
