Ozark Region Favored.

The Ozark fruit region in Missouri
and Arkansas gets splendid advertise
ment in the late horticultural reports
from Washington and elsewhere With
shortage in the apple crop in very
large part of the United States, and a
considerable portion of Missouri and
Kansas in particular, the new orchards
of the Ozark country are bending under
their loads of the best fruit that has
yet been produced there.
Not only will there be good crop of
apples in this highly favored section,
but of peaches there will be an album
danee-a bountiful yield of the most
luscious to be found anywhere, not ex-
cepting the famed staple of Delaware.
great deal has been written of the
peculiar adaptability of both soil and
climate in the Ozark region for fruit
raising. 1t may have been taken by
many to be merely for the purpose of
booming investments in real estate, but
there was more than that in it. No
where else in the whole country can be
found conditions more favorable to the
production of fruit than in the broad
stretch of highlands reaching from
southeastern Missouri to the borders of
Indian Territory in Arkansas. 1t is a
fact that apples and peaches in particu-
lar are produced there which have a
superior flavor to that of the same va
rieties grown almost anywhere else
that can be named. And it is also a
fact that the conditions of soil and eli
mate there are such as to warrant less
danger from pests and disease than can
be found in other localities.
The future will see vast fruit gar
den in this region which will bring
many millions of wealth annually, and
the wise who are looking for place in
which to enter upon such business
Will make no delay in getting foot
hold there.-Kansas City (Mo) Journal,
July 81.

Experiments with Cotton.

The agricultural experiment station
at Fayetteville is an institution of
great value to the farmers and fruit
growers, as there tests and experiments
are made by practical and skilled ope-
rators, who are under government pay
and have every advantage and oppor-
UNITY to go to the very bottom of ex-
perments they enter into. Last season
further Investigations were made with
cotton, and it is deemed proper to pre-
sent herewith the result, which is re-
printed from the Eighth Annual Re-
port, which says:
Egyptian varieties were planted
again this year, both new seed and seed
mat grew upon the station last year
and the plants that grew from home

revival in land transactions, which
was predicted in these columns a few
weeks ago, is being felt in the territory
,rayersed by the Kansas City, Pittsburg
and Gulf railroad. OF course the revival
is limited TO that section of the state.
Thousands of homeseekers and specu-
lators have flocked into the country
through which the line of new railroad
runs. The Kansas City newspapers
have done much in the line of advertis-
ing the advantages and resources of
Western Arkansas and are potent
agents in directing public attention to
that section of country. But while spe-
cial prominence has been given to that
particular section, the state in general
is beneficiary of the gratuitious ad-
yertising designed to call special atten-
ton to the attractive features and COM
handing advantages of that part of
western Arkansas threaded by the new
railroad Many persons who drift
down the Kansas City, Pittsburg and
Gulf road seeking homes and opportun-
tiles for investment will eventually find
a location in central or eastern Arlan-
sas. Besides every line appearing in
Kansas City papers relative to the beau
ties of western Arkansas, will cause
the readers to study the map of the
state, and when they have the map be-
fore them they cannot fail to see an at
tractive picture. The geographical po-
sition, the splendid water courses, the
proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, the
railroads traversing the state, the
mountain ranges-all these features
will exert an influence on every person
who opens the map of Arkansas and
studies it critically, and also stimulate
thirst for more knowledge regarding
the land Of rich soil, cheap homes, sun
shine, fruit and flowers. Judicious ad-
vertising will bring the state into IA
vora BILE notice Premiums on fruit,
prizes on minerals and vegetables, arti-
cles on railroad building, ETC., all help
in placing the states attractions before
homeseekers and spectators. But the
weekly newspaper which SO times a
year goes into the northern home is the
most powerful medium for diseminat-
ing facts and advertising the features
of Arkansas.

Cold Storage Buildings.

The Importance of cold storage build
ings for the reception of fruit and veg
etables is appreciated by farmers and
fruit-growers, and the question of es-
tablishing depots at shipping points is
being discussed by the press of Arkan-
sas. Cold storage depots are modern
institution. They have become vaiu-
able aid and an indispensable adjunct
in preserving fruit, vegetables and
meats for market, and of great value to
the producer as we'll as the consumer
To give an illustration, it is only nee
essary to cite the experience of DIR.
Isaac Love, of Mountain Grove, this
state, who placed 800 barrels of
apples in cold storage at Kansas
City last fall. At the time of the stor-
ing, apples were worth 40 cents bush
ell The apples were sold in May for 50
barrel at the cold storage depot, and
the cost of storing was only so cents a
barrel. 1t is necessary to add that the
barrels contained az bushels, and
would have brought in the fall market
81 barrel. After deducting cost of
storage there was net profit of $3.50
per barrel. This one instance shows
the value of cold storage. 1t is not nee
essary to send fruit out of the state for
preservation. Cold storage buildings
should be established in the state within
easy access to the fruitgrowers, so that
the cost of storage would be kept
within state bounds. The subject
should be agitated to successful issue.

Radishes can be produced in the state
almost continuously from March up to
the last week in December. The quail
ity of the plant in summer months can
be greatly improved by planting on the
north side of corn rows to protect from
the hot RAYS of the sun.
