FARMERS WIDE AWAKE
Going to Have Fairs. Bring ing in New Blood Breed
 Better Stock

Little Rock, Dec. 6.-G. A. Cole, president of the Arkansas Farmers Union was in Little Rock a short time yesterday and said 1t had not been definitely decided that he will become the president of the Arkansas State Fair. He says he told the direc- tors at their last meeting under what conditions he would take the office, and another meeting is to be held in Hot Springs on December 14, at which his pro- position will be discussed "I have just returned from Bradley and Union Counties where coun- ty institutes are held,' said Pres. Cole, and 1 can say the farm CTS of that section are wide awake to the benefits of the un- ion. They are awake on the live stock question too, and in- tend to bring in some new blood which they will try to take all the state fair prizes with next year. These farmers are going to have fairs of their own this year, and that is what lam work ing for. l want to see every county in Arkansas with a coun- ty fair. There is no better eleva. tor of a community than good stock. The county fairs will start the people to breeding bet ter stock, and once they start this their farms begin to pick up and the country get prosperous. You can look out for Arkansas along this line in the future"
