CORN GROWERSMEET
STATE ORGANIZATION FORMED
TO AID GROWERS OF CEREAL.
Cooperation Among Members WIZ
Produce Best Results-Big
Returns Expected.

Fayettevile.-Corn growers of this
section as well as the state at large
have long felt the need of "a corn grow
ers association. Some of the more pro.
gressive corn growers of the state have
formed county organizations, but it re-
manned for the corn growers attending
the farmers short course ut the agricul-
tural college to successfully effect
state organization.
The interest shown IN corn work bv
The farmers attending this short course
was especially keen, and eliminated in
three or four enterprising corn grow
ers calling a meeting to establish a corn
association similar to those of our sis.
ter states. The meeting was very well
attended, although many who had ex
pressed their desire of attending could
not be present The need of such an
organization for the farmer was dis
cussed after which an association
known as the Arkansas State Corn
Improvers' Association was effected.
The object of this association is to
promote the production of better corn
and more of it. The continual fuctua.
ton in the price of cotton, the ravages
of the boil weevil and the many fail
ures of the crop has had its effect upon
the growers. and the tide has started
toward the bringing back of the corn
crib and smokehouse to Arkansas This
not only menas more corn, but better
live stock and more Of it. The thou
sands of dollars that are sent ont of
the state annually for feedstuff will be
kept In circulation within the state
and our farmers will reap the benefit
By cooperating among its members
every farmer will be able to procure
the results of every other member. Seed
corn centers will be established in
every section of the state, and thus
every corn grower will be able to pro-
cure seed corn which is acclimated to
his particular section of the country at
reasonable price by writing to the
secretary, who will be posted on the
best variety for that particular sec
ton and what members have it for
| sale
AT the annual meeting reports of the
season s work will be given, and corn
Investigations discussed, as well as the
corn work carried on by the experiment
station. Thus the attending members
will not reap the experience of a single
individual, but of statewide organic
cation. Another interesting feature in
connection with the annual meeting
Will be corn show, which will stir up
healthy rivalry among the members
The following officers were elected !:
Martin Nelson, Fayetteville, president;
Hon. w. P. Fletcher, Lonoke, first vice
president; W. D. Waldrop, Wilmer, Sec
ond vice president; DR.. J. T. Rocker,
Cabot, third vice president; John voss,
