TO DEVELOP
 ARKANSAS LANDS Rock Island and Cotton Belt Commissioners to Go
 Operate in Work.
TO ARRANGE MARK r. c.G' i
w. q. Beattie. Successor to Guy l.. SteWart Begins Active
 Work.

Little Rock, July 9.-Plans for CO., operative work ia the development of Arkansas have heen agreed upon by the agricultural commissioners of the l! roads, H. M. Cottrell, commissioner for the Rock Island, and w. C. Beat tie, new commissioner for the Cotton Belt, met in Little Rock Monday af ternoon and formulated a campaign of education in all lines of agricultural development.
 Commissioner Beauties, who has re- gently been appointed to take the place of the late Guy l.. Stewart, be- lieves that Arkansas can become the center of hog raising in the United States. In his opinion there is no better section for the production of hogs that will make the finest hams in the world. He was formerly a government expert in this line of work and has only recently left the SeFVlCo to take up lHe ueNcloPiiioh' work for the railroad
 He believes in cooperation and after his conference with MT. Cottrell it was decided by both that they should conduct their campaigns fol hog culture throughout the ,entire mileage of their respective roads in Arkansas. Both these companies have made policy of agricultural de- velopment and both believe in great future for the state, provided the cor rect methods of scientific farming are adopted by the people.
 Mir. Cottrell called at the Cham Der of Commerce Tuesday morning and discussed with Secretary c. C. Kirkpatrick the prospects for bump CT crops in this state. The peach crop was mentioned especially as this product is just now being marketed in large quantities by the fruit grow CTS of Arkansas:
 In speaking of the marketing of this crop, MT. Cottrell called attention to the fact that this very commodity illustrated the loss of money and en- ergy that came from the use of old methods and lack of information on the part of the growers. While he stated that he knew Arkansas to De great fruit state, it was his opln- ion that very few of the planters knew how to market the crop.
 He related one incident of a com mission house in Kansas City which handled Arkansas peaches, saying that this firm calculated on losing two-fifths of every shipment received from this state on account of pad packing. ignorance of the proper me- thods of picking and perhaps tend ency to flood the market with spoiled fruit This he said, should not exist and would cease when the growers were taught the proper method or handling this crop. He declared the peach growing industry to be still in it's infancy in Arkansas and capable of great development.
 Mr. Cottrell believes in Arkansas resources, but also believes that there is much to be. done in educat- ing the people to proper methods and scientific farming.
 He stated that he would cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce at all times in its efforts to upbuild Little Rock and Arkansas.
