Gratiot county, one of the best ag-

during the past twenty-five years seen
the value of acreage and real estate
greatly enhanced in value as a result
of judicious use of tile, and drains.
The county has been favored in the
past by having as drain commissioner
men thoroughly conversant with the
work required. This statement is es-

into La Grange county from Michigan
in 1903 and that since that date de-

that during the period aforesaid
the said Ora l.. Smith was actively as

The Profitable Farming Cam paign throughout Arkansas,
 which started this week will be of as great direct benefit to the bankers and the merchants as to the farming interests. In fact, the campaign is as much for the business men as for the farmers. The progressive banker or mer- chant now realizes that the far mer needs material. practical aid in his efforts in diversifying his crops and raising more poultry, hogs and cattle The thinking banker or merchant also realizes that when he is helping the far mer with these things that means r3a. .t tn ,ne farmer, he ia also helping himeelf that when he as- sists in pu!Iding up the farms he

are those in which there are diversity of crops and plenty of livestock and poultry, In Iowa land has advanced from $5 to $1O per acre to $150 and S200 per acre, because of diversified farm ing and the raising of chickens, hogs, dairy cows and beef cattle. Arkansas can do the same thing that Iowa has done and do it bet ter because the soil in this State is just as good and the climatesis far superior. We can cut five crops of alfalfa a year in Arkan- sas whereas fhe people of Iowa can cut only three. We can raise more cotton to the acre than Iowa can. We can get more from the land, and we can get just as good prices for our production by feeding them to livestock.
 We just haven't got the market that Iowa has, but we will have just as soon as diversified farm ing and livestock raising are gen. erally practiced throughout the State. The Profitable Farming Campaign will do more for this State than any other movement ever star@ed in 1t, and it deserves the active support of every man and woman in the State.

DO NOT ALLOW YOUR
 COTTON TO DECAY

Cotton exposed to weather de- cays very rapidly. Since the price is down we can much less afford to lose any portion of the crop. It is true economy to pro- vide shelter for all cotton that is being held.
 The following rules should be observed:
 No bales in storage should be allowed to touch the ground.
 No bales in storage should be exposed to rainfall.
 Therefore, place the cotton in the dry and place it where moist ure will not have opportunity to enter 1t.
 Da ger of fires at gins is too great. Do not leave the cotton around the gin house.
 Unless we observe the simple rules stated above the co t on crop will be more nearly a total loss and under present conditions we can hardly afford that. By all means protect what we have.
