COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE WANTS BRIEF STATEMENTS FROM FARMERS AND
 STOCK GROWER.
Will Endeay0r to Attract Citizens From Other States by Facts Re- lating to What is Grown in
 Arkansas.

For the purpose of showing citizens of other states what is beins done in Arkansas along agricultural lines, in stead of merely stating what can be done, Robert Nj. iutchins, deputy commissioner of agriculture of the state has issued a circular letter to the farmers requesting that they make out and send in a brief statement of the amount and value of products that have been and is being raised now The letter follows,
 There have been so many glowing descriptions of sublime sunsets and sparkling rills painted in baa altiful words, and other enthusiastic out bursts on Arkansas; for example The commonwealth that has been con- sidered ldle Ugly Duckling of the States is proving to be the Swan that the hard headed investor has been at loss to know whether Arkansas is full of real estate boosters or good substantial private citivens. To over come in part this doubt in the minds of the prospective citizen. we pro- pose to furnish him through our Bien- ennial report, with the names and addresses of as many of our success ful citizens as is possible, who are willing to say what they nave actual ly done, ill stock raising, in cetton, fruit, truck, corn, oats, potatoes, Fege- tables, grasses, wheat, rye and every other means by which the farmer gains sustenance in Arkansas and how
 We propose to give each county an impartial and full representation in our report. In order to convince an outsider of the superiority of any county along particular iiue we are of the opinion that if he could see what other men have done along most certainly give more credcnce to what we say about that county. when citizen in that county vouches for it's adaptability to a certain crop.
 Your name and address, stating what you have done, is what we want, It will not take but a little Of your time and you will be doing a great service to yourself and your county Write Hon. Clay Sloan, Commissioner of Agriculture, a short statement Of how much, cotton, corn, rico, oats, wheat, etc, etc. you have raised on an acre and on what type Of soil how you have succeeded in the dairy husl- ness or any other agricultural actiV- ity

There has not been for long time
so many who are thus out of work.
The belief is prevalent that the unwise
advertising Of the city as a boom city
in eastern papers has indirectly had
great deal TO do with bringing here
many who have crowded the labor

election and the coming of spring re
lief will be afforded.

the week should have brought out bet
ter demand for both stockers and feed
ers. 1t has failed to register, but Of
ferings Of feeders Of good weight and
condition Of flesh have been meager.
the call Of good killers having been
constant for the young steers with
flesh enough to be of any use for
slaughter.
There are plenty Of indications In
the present situation pointing to. very
high prices for both stockers ana
feeders the coming month when pas
lures are anywhere near ready tor
occupancy by young cattle. Farmers
and feeders have been receiving their
orders for young stuff to later date
than usual owing to high cost of hay
and roughage and with prices for beef
highest than in the entire history OF
the country for the first quarter OF
the year, there will be a grand rush
for young stuff some of these days
that will shoot prices up so cents or
more per cwt in short order. A flood
of orders will be upon the market at
time when young cattle will not be
by their absence as there
is likely to be more incentive to hold
stockers and feeders back in the coun-
try this spring than ever before.
Current prices for good feeders are
about 25@40 cents higher than at this
time last year, but the young stockers
of choice class were little higher
one year ago than now and low class
young stuff selling then within 1905
cents of current values.
Owing to the grabbing off OF every
thing with any show of flesh by kill
ers this week. relatively few sales have
been made higher than Sc. tho an ex-
ira class of 1000 pound feeders sold
Wednesday at $40 Sales of the fair

Usury offen.s in Iowa.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines March s.-The general
that usury is one of the
things forbidden in Iowa but not sub
ject to any punishment was shattered
by Attorney General Robbins who In
answer to an inquiry decided that the
exaction Of usury in Iowa is an indict-
able misGemeanor and therefore might
be punished by imprisonment. The
only penalty directly made for usury
is that of a forfeiture to the school
fund, but it is decided the offense
would come under the general law.
This will give a second chance for
