Coming Back to Arkansas.

Coming Back to Arkansas.
 A. V. Scroggins, former resident of Benton county, writes the Fayette- vile Democrat letter that voices the sentiment of hundreds of former citi- zens of Northwest Arkansas, who have gone forth in frutless search for a better country. Among other good things the writer says:
 ''Just noticed a copy of Saturday Evening Post, date January 22, and is it an article entitled "An Arkansan Farm. It certainly brought back to me, in memory, many familiar scenes, as my home formerly was in that state and section, and if nothing happens will again be soon. It is a grand country, than which there is no better. Oh! if you people realize what you there!
 After travelling here, there and yon- der for some years, and having seen all the country worth seeing, according to those who pretend to be experts in those matters, I have found no place with so many advantages. l am hap py in the thought that have not for gotten the way back and when I get back it is me for Arkansas all the time.
 I meet people almost every day from Northwest Arkansas and l have not seen one yet who is not planning and longing for the time to come when he can again go back, satisfied that Ar kansas is good enough for him. It is good enough for me. am on my way. "

That is just what William R. Lighton of Fayetteville did for Arkans- as with his "story of An Arkansas Farm, which appeared in January P issue of the Saturday Evening Post,
 Since the article appeared, MT. Lighton has received 1,500 inquiries from home-hungry people in every part of the continent, all asking if the wonderful tale of Arkansas possibili- ties is all true. And in yesterday < mail, which was forwarded to MT Lighton in this city, more than this

An Experiment
 Raising Sorghum
It is Believed That This h. dustrY Can be Followed
 Here With Big Profit

There has been some very satisfac- tory experiments here in the way of the production of sorghum.
 A gentleman who has been giving the matter some thoughtful consider ation tells us that the area for success ful sorghum production is very narrow ly circumscribed. That it does not extend farther south than the top of the Bostain mountains, scarcely fur ther north than the Southern Missouri border, not as far east as Tennessee, nor farther west than eastern Okla homa.
 Sorghum molasses may be pronounc- ed distinctively a North Arkansas pro- duct" said he. While an attempt is made at the production of sorghum in many places in the south, and even as far north as Kansas, the finished arti- cle is not to be compared with the plainest sort of "home-spun" molasses produced in this section.
 DelOIc l OtCiieu CO SO lllCO Cilc business I made an investigation to see what was being done in the way of marketing sorghum. l went to Spring field, Mo-, taking load of barrels fill ed with my own make a year ago and found ready demand at good price. After selling out visited the whole sale houses to see what they were handling in that line and found but one house that was catering to the sor- ghum trade. Others said they found none on the markets. This fellow showed me pail of sorghum manu- factured by Farmer Jones" of Kan sas, and, upon my word, the stuff was but little lighter in color than ta r and would pronounce the taste not pal atable. This dealer told me the effort he had made to get anything to offer his customers and it was good long story. He had tried about every imaginable source with the one result.
 Right here is where I started to thinking on the possibilities of the sor- ghum industry, and have reached the conclusion that there is a great field here for the business.
 The whole world is an open market for sorghum, there is no question about that. Good sorghum will command a better price than any other class of syrup on earth, not only because of its excellence as an article of food, but because of it's scarcity. Recently the editor noted an item in a Colorado Springs trade journal stating that cane syrups common in the south are unknown to dealers of the west.

the federal quarintine on southern cat tie was located on the north boundary of the state, but through the efforts of the Bureau of Animal Industry, the line has been moved so to as release Carroll, Washington and Benton coun- ties.
 Concerning the advantages gained by the change Dr. William A. Fry, Veterinary Inspector of Rogers, Ark. has written The Tribune as follows:
 ''It has been only a few years ago that, when at the great market cen ters, it became known among the buy CTS that certain cattle originated in Arkansas, it was foregone conclusion that they were of inferior quality and had to be bought at sowewhere near the bottom of the market price; and some of the people likely thought that Arkansas would always be the place to buy cheap cattle.
 'tBut short while ago as late as 1907 all the cattle that were marketed from February 1st to October 31st of each year, had to be slaughtered with in two weeks after their arrival at the markets, and when taken into consider ation that 80 per cent of them were not fat, they consequently had to be used as canned beef, and bought at a very low price from 1-2 to 2 cents per pound, netting the owner at home at least 50 cents per hundred less than that, for the transportation companies always get their part before the ship per gets his.
 From November 1st to January 31st these cattle could be sold to go to northern feed lots and pastures. But the Northwest Arkansas owner had to keep them so late in the fall that they had shrunk from 50 to 100. lbs each, consequently he lost that much by hold ing for this local market. But great change has been wrought, no more does the farmer and cattle grower of the counties of Carroll, Benton and Washington in the Northwest District of Arkansas have to entirely depend on the slaughter markets. He can sell and deliver his cattle to nearly all the states without meeting any serious obstacles and get prices that were un-

average of 50 letters came.
 MT. Lighton arrived in Little Rock yesterday with party of Cotton Belt officials, after making trip over the Grand Prairie rice belt, and in an in- terview told of how eagerly the people of other states are beseeching him to tell more of the Utopia of his magazine story.
 The story itself was the result of chance F. s. Bigelow of the editorial department of the Saturday Evening Post last December visited the farm of MT. Lighton, near Fayetteville. It was MT. Bigelow's first visit to the Southwest and he was so thoroughly delighted with the spot that he asked MT. Lighton to write story about it. Mr. Lgthon did so and the story ap- peared month later

by MT. Lighton from MT. BigeloW speaks volumes.
 He says in part;
 "You have my heartiest sympathy, and yet cannot help laughing at the thought of you out in Fayetteville with those 800 letters unanswered. When people write to us for your address l tell them the vast dimensions of your correspondence and warn them that they need not expect an answer to their inquiries for two or three years.
 q wish you would think up one or two more articles that would make as big a splash as "The Story of an Ar kansas Farm
 The breadth of territory from which the inquiries are coming is fairly illus trated in the letters MT. Lighton re- yesterday. Among tho places from which these came are Los Angeles, Cal; Buffalo, New York; Fisher, Ore. Indianapolis, Ind, Chicago, H.. Haver, hill, Mass; Tuscon, Ariz. and points in Wisconsin, Minnesota and northwest | Canada.
 "They all come from people who are already hunting homes and haven't found what they want. " said MT Lighton. ''The Post hadn't and cer tainly I hadn't any notion that there was any such 8 live interest in home hunting as has developed.
 "There was nothing novel abou ''The Story of An Arkansas Farm. It is an old story. It just appealed t' the home hunger that is surging in tht breasts of thousands. The man whc wants land now must take poor land al high price in places already exploited and must live under conditions that ht wouldn't choose if he could help it The Northwest is an instance.
 That there is land like Arkansas where prices are cheap and condition are ideal, is a surprise to the homo hunter. It is like aa undiscovered country. He can not understand how such a good thing has gone so long without somebody grabbing it.
 "It's funny thing" the autho, continued, branching off on the feeling l against Arkansas, 'that misapprehen sion and sheer rank unreasoning pre- judice should stand between countr, like this and the people that are look ing for it.
 "it has beauty, it has opportunit, for fortune, it has perfectly ideal con ditions. Ordinarily the home has to be satisfied with one of these. If he gets two of these he is lucky. If he get all three in bunch, don't see how he is going to resist.
 "Some people have written to the Post to know if the story is really true One woman in Texas registered he letters to me saying that she was go ing to find out for sure whether thert was such farm.
