RICHES AND HOGS
Arkansas Climate Especially Favorable
to This Industry Small Capital
Needed.

BY j. II. Flint. College of Agriculture.
According to the Year Book of the
United States Department of Aericul-
ture for 1909. there were 6, ASS, 900
hogs grown in the state of Iowa during
that year, while in Arkansas there
were 9S7 900 hogs grown. The rich
est agricultural states in the Union
are those which produce the greatest
number of hogs. There is no section
in the United States where this class
of farm animals can be produced with
greater profit than in our own state.
We are farming on lower priced land
than in the North, which results in
our receiving a greater interest on our
investment; we have an excellent
climate, long growing seasons and a
great diversity OF crops.
On account of the fact that the first
cost of hogs is so small, there is no
reason why every farmer should not
raise them. They increase so rapidly
that it does not take a very long time
to build up comparatively large herd
from small beginning. The returns
are quick.
In year from the time bred quilts
are purchased it is possible to place
their produce upon the market in fat
tened condition. After the herd is
once started it is possible to place
hogs upon the market twice year.
Why not give more attention to the
raising of this class of farm animalsg
Why should we be Obliged to buy pork
from the North when our money could
as well be kept in our own farmers
pocketsg 1t seems to me that if the
state of Arkansas is to become a rich
state agriculturally our farmers must
raise greater diversity Of crops, more
hogs, more dairy cattle and poultry.
We must rotate crops, grow legumes,
and apply barn yard manure to our
soils. We must work twelve months
in the year and apply modern methods
to our farming operations.

TWO LANDED FOR

Ion of whisky. Mrs. Brannon did not
deny selling the whisky, but did claim
that she was handling it for a man to
whom she gave all the money she col
lected, but whose name she positively
refused to give. Sheriff Thornton told
her that she would have to suffer for
failure to disclose the name. but still
she refused to do it.
Her son denied that he had sold any
whisky, but the officers say they have
strong evidence that he has done so

RIGHT OF WAY
Senate aud House Have Both Passed
the Bill to Require the Kansas City
Southern to Fence Its Tracks
Through Polk County.

Little Rock, Feb. 22.-The Senate
Tuesday afternoon passed House Bill
No. 1872 which forces the Kansas City
Southern to fence its right of way in
Polk county.
j. B. McDonough. general attorney
for the Kansas City Southern, took
the matter up with the committee
which considered the bill and stated
it would cost the company $4,000 to
do this fencing. He stated that the
company maintained a fencing gang
and intended to do this fencing at a
later time, but claimed it would be
an imposition to force it to do the work
now.
The committee reported favorably
upon the bill and there was no oppc-
sition when it came to its final pass
