MT. Miller Appointed Organizer.

Du ing the visit of The Diversified Farming Special Thursday morning. Prof II. 5. Mobley, of the Agricultural College. of Fayetteville. appointed Mr. Pc. Miller, principal of Crowley Ridge Institute, as organizer of the Boys Corn Clubs for this county.
 It is Mr. Miller's intention to visit all of the larger schools of the coudty at an early date, and attempt to in terest the boys of the county in this work
 Early in February meet ing will be held in this city, at which it is hoped to have all the boys of the various schools of the county present, when a permanent organization will be effect ed. Any boy in the county, under the age of eighteen, is eligible for mem. bership.
 Valuable prizes have been offered by the State for the best showing made In corn raising, and it is hoped by MT. Miller to have these prizes supple. mented by having the county and the various merchants of the city offer ad. ditional prizes
 It is to be hoped that he will meet withmuch success and announcement in his efforts, and that St Francis county will, with her Boys Corn Club show what can be done in corn raising in this section of our grand old State.

We noted an item in the Chronicle last week which stated that MT. c. W. Matthews, of Colt, had been to Memphis to buy machinery, and that he and his brother, MT. A x. Mat thews would shortly erect a broom and mop factory at Colt. This item has set us to thinking whether or not the farmers of St. Francis county have ever tried to raise broom corn here. In the county (Moultrie) i'll Illinois, where the writer was born. nothing but wheat and corn were raised when he wes boy, but fer twenty years or whereabouts that whole county has been given over to raising broom corn, and very little, if any other crop is raised for market. Broom corn has to be harvested care fully just at the proper time, and re- quIres careful attention but when properly cared for and cultivated. pro duces enormous profits as it sells at from cl00 to S250 per ton. and we be- eve produces from half ton to two and one-half tons per acre We are not sure about this, but think that is what We were told when we last visit ed our old home in Illinois. Think of 1t. If it will grow here successfully it would be great thing for our farmers to raise it. and a good thing 10 establish large factory here in Forrest City. We are also wondering II the Matthews Bros. have made any arrangements to raise or have broom corn raised around Colt, or will they have to buy their raw material ill Illinois. We would like to hear from them on this subject, and will be glad to publish any information they will give US. We wish them success in their new venture.

A SAFE INVESTMENT

When a man buys real estate now, he not only wants to know that the title is good, but he wants the evi- dence of the title reduced to the shape of an abstract of such char acter that he can show the abstract to purchaser as an evidence of his title. Good titles make real estate as ne- gotiable as stock or bonds. Avoid rouble and save expense by getting the St. Francis County Abstract Con- pany to make your abstract.
