1t may seem little strange, but
in addition tc the corn and pota.
toes shipped out don't VIC ship just
about as much cotton nov as we
did five years ago, when it was "all
cotton and buy corn?" This is the
evidence of what little intensive
farming will do. The fact is that
forty acres can usually be made to
produce what is now gen orally
raised on eighty acres. Most
farmers try to put in too many
.crcs. By lessening the number
Of acres, you may increase the pro-
portionate amount Of labor in cul-
tivation, fertilization, etc., and
thus secure the same or even bet
ter results. If we are shipping
about the same amount of cotton
now that we did FIVE years ago,
then our lands are giving us the
large potato crop as bonus.

The following from the Marion

the democrats ofSt. Francis county
just how the democrats of Critcn-

of giving her candidate for state
senator their support:
The Ferguson lieutenants in ST.
county, 40 we hear, say
they arc willing to support Cross
county man when it comes her
turn four years hence. Then wis
do they seek to knife tho good
democrats of CrIttenden this time?
What have we done TO the demo.
Gratis OF ST. Francis county To mer;i
such ingratitude from any port,on
of them? Are We not rs WORTH
az the democrats Of Gross? Dm
we not come up fonr years ago -
the support OF st. Francis county's
candidate as loyalty as did Cross
or any other county? We cannot
believe the Ferguson boomers ~
st. Francis represent anv consid-
cradle number OF her people. We
are sure Cross county does not ap-
preciate a proposition TO honor
them in their time, and dishonor
us at our time, any moro than We
can believe a majority Of the demo-
Gratis of st. Francis county are
willing for US to be loyal to them
in their time and them be disloya
TO US in our time. II is not necc-.
sary for US white people to do each
other wrong. Crittenden. has ma
disposition to discriminate against
her neighbors. We have been and
will be perfectly fair with our s,s-
ter counties. We appeal to them
to be equally honest with us. Mr.
Berry is our candidate. lie is il

offer him without apology.-Mu
