More HOGS. Less Cotton.

Farmers in the vicinity of Conway
have realized that the cotton crop is
not paying as it should. Nearly all OF
them are disguised with the crop and
the price which they receive. More
hogs and less cotton seems to be their
motto for the ensuing year.
The local papers are full of news
almost every week concerning what
would be best to raise the next year.
The farmers have found that they can
raise soy beans in Pope county; can
raise two potato crops each year;
they can raise sweet potatoes which
will weigh 10 pounds each; they found
that their soil can produce enough
corn to run from one season to the
other; they have found that hogs Will
thrive there as well as in Texas.
Some of the farmers have com
menced the poultry business, others
are interested in creamery, which
they want located in RussellVille.
Cotton crops are thing of the past
in Pope.

Farmers Like Modern Farming.

State Agent J. A Evans of the gov
eminent agricultural demonstration
work, Governor-elect George w
c. Reid will speak at a big gathering
of farmers which will be held in Con-
way November 20. The object of the
meeting is to stimulate interest in the
government demonstration farm work
in Faulkner county, and about 30
farmers who cultivated demonstration
farms under the supervision of Special
Agent A v Swaty will be present al
the meeting. The work of the past
year will be renewed and plans for
continuing the work another year will
be discussed
The demonstration farms in that
county have been highly successful.
Each farmer undertaking the work
agreed to cultivate five acres of cotton
and an equal amount of corn, accord
ing to instructions and personal sug-
gestiOns made by the government
agent the Board of Trade of Conway
paying s. to supply each farm with
seed. Col. Swaty made monthly trips
of inspection to the farms, and his in
structions were, for the most part,
strictly carried out.
The results in some cases were
amazing. Several plats of land which
hitherto had been producing a third
or fourth of bale to the acre, this
year produced more than bale. Cot
ton which thirds itself" ii. e., pro-
duces one-third of it's weight in lint
cotton and two-thirds in cotton seed)
is generally regarded as making a
good turn out" but the average per
centage of lint cotton raised on the
demonstration farms this year is more
than 40 per cent The corn was al
most equally as good, despite an un-
favorable seaOn.
The lesson has been invaluable to
the farmers of that county, each de-
monstration farm being an object OF
interest and study for miles around,
and it is probable that thousands Of
acres of land will be worked next year
according to the scientific principles
of agriculture which the government
department has demonstrated

Marx Twain on Art.

Mark Twain and a party of friends
recently went to visit the studio of
young sculptor who is coming rapidly
into public notice. One of the pieces
which was admired greatly by the ma
jority of the party was the figure of a
young woman coiling up her hair.
Mark listened to the encomiums in
silence, and when urged for an ex-
preston of opinion said slowly:

nature"
All expressed their surprise at this
unexpected verdict and demanded his
reasons.
"She ought to have her mouth full
of hairpins,' replied Tom Sawyer's

BONE REMARKS FROM MINNIE.
sofa EDITORS.
What They Think of Western Canada.

party Of editors from a number of
cities and towns of Minnesota recently
made a tour of Western Canada, and
having returned to their homes they
are now telling in their respective
newspapers of what they saw on their
Canadian trip. The West st. Paul
Times recalls the excursion of the
Minnesota editors from Winnipeg to
the Pacific Coast ten years ago. Re-
ferring to what has happened in the
interval the writer says: Thousands
of miles of new railway lines have
been built, and the development of
the country has made marvellous
strides Millions of acres, then lying
in their wild and untouched state,
have since been transferred into grain
fields Towns have sprung up as if
by the wand of magician, and their
development is now in full progress.
1t is a revelation, record of conquest
by settlement that is remarkable"
The Hutchinson Leader character
ICES Western Canada as "a great coun-
try undeveloped. The summer out
ing it says, was an eye-opener to
every member of the party, even those
who were on the excursion through
Western Canada ten years ago, over
considerable of the territory covered
this year. being amazed at the prog
ress and advancement made in that
short space of time. The time will
come when Western Canada will be
the bread-basket Of the world 1t
was a delightful outing through a
great country of wonderful possibil-
tiles and resources"
Since the visit of these editors the
Government has revised it's land regu-
lations and it is now possible to Sc
cure 100 acres of wheat land at $500
an acre in addition to the 100 acres
that may be homesteaded.
The crops of 1908 have been splen-
did, and reports from the various dis
tricts show good yields, which at pres
ent prices will give excellent profits to
the farmers.
From Milestone, Saskatchewan,
there are reported yields of thirty bush
els of spring wheat to the acre, while
the average is about 20 bushels. The
quality of grain to be shipped from
this point will be about 100000 bush
els. Information regarding free lands
and transportation will be freely given
by the Canadian Government Agents.
