 Arkansas muncipaIly and agricll- turally is something new to the Chi cago Record-Herald and probably to Chicago and other portions of the
 Tore densely settled north, where an intense interest in the country land possibilities in different sections of the country recently has manifested it. self. MT. Stewart, however. was familiar with the missionary work the Chicago Record-Herald has been carrying on during the past few years. and he took steps to induce the reD- 1esentatives of this newspaper to nake a tour of inspection through inc southwest
 As result of the tour with Nr Stewart several news accounts con- corning Arkansas will appear in the columns of the Record-Herald within the coming few weeks Space is eiv- CT for land stories in the Record Herald each day. the news comprising Che and one-half or two columns in the Sunday issue. At the e5ud each story the readers of the paper are invited to address the land de- nartment for specific information con- corning lands open to settlement in any part of the country. This an- nouncement that the paper main- tains a department of land and industrial information brings thousands of inquiries. and the Rec ord-Herald probably has sent more ac iual settlers to farm land openings than any other one agency ill Ameri- ca. Consequently, the news accounts concerning Arkansas will be particu- arly valuable to this state, just at this time
 T was rather surprised at the gen- eral agricultural situation in Arkan sas and it will be a pleasant duty to .nform the readers of the Record Herald of the farm land opportunities in Arkansas" MT. West said q had always been told that the razor back hogs climbed the trees down here and that most of the farmers carried on tl'eir agricultural activities chiefly py ;i delft manipulation of a Winchester. Arkansas had always been seen in my mind as a place of slow railroad trains 7-.th now and then a politicians post office.
 The one thing Arkansas wants to d. LOW is to stop a portion of the tide of humanity that is moving to the west and southwest. Settlers-goo1 desirable settlers-are going through Arkansas. Train loads of settlers are going to the south and southwes' from the northern states. Tsese peo rle are mostly actual tillers of the soil and they are going to the farms they have purchased to take competence from it, not to speculate in the lands These are the settlers Arkansas wants-energetic farmers who have prepared themselves to work the soil scientifically and for all that can bf made to spring from it"
 The first of the bigger news stor- ias concerning Arkansas will appear in tfe Record-Herald next Sundav This story will be telegraphed to Chi t,eo from the scene of the Record- lIera'd's present investigations and r.. .bly will deal with the wonderf',! development of Arkansas rice cul- ture.
