ARKANSAS SOIL WELL ADAPT
 ED TO TOBACCO GROWING
Commissioner Page Says Farmers Should Go Slow in Raising Tobac co-State Now Raising Crop
 Same as Cotton Growers

Little Rock, Oct. 27.-R. M. Holden. who was sent from Little Rock to North Carolina to investigate tobacco has notified the Arkansas people that the best of the cotton grown there is in soil much similar to that of sec tions of Arkansas, and that he be- lieves tobacco can be successfully grown in this state. Before going to North Carolina Mr. Holden stated that he could secure an acreage of 1000 acres in tobacco very easily if he was positive the plant would thrive in this state. If this amount of tobac- co is raised, Mr. Holden will have buyers from the original countries come to Arkansas to bid upon it an nually.
 Tobacco growing in Arkansas is no new industry, though it has never been an extensive one In the western counties of Arkansas some high class tobacco has been raised, and all varie- ties planted did exceptionally well. In Southeast Arkansas there are already a number of acres devoted to the growing of tobacco.
 Farmers of Arkansas should be a bit slow about taking ahold of tobac- CO.," stated Commissioner of Agricul- ture John H. Page on Monday after noon. "The reason for this is not be- cause it is hard to grow or will not do we'll in Arkansas, but on account of the market for it. There Is but one buyer of tobacco in the United States the American Tobacco Co. This company fixes the price of tobacco as it sees fit, and the states which raise it as principal crop are now in as bad condition as are those which de vote most of their acreage to cotton.
 "Tobacco does well in Arkansas, but it would be senseless for the farm CTS to jump from the frying pan into the five, and when a crisis comes as it has this year, forcing the farmers away from cotton, they are liable to jump to thing like the growing of tobacco, and be in even worse condi- ton than they were"
