Farm Hands Taken from Cities.

In the current issue of the Farm and
Preside appears an editorial showing
hat many of the unemployed in the
reat cities, who are induced to go to
FOrk o. The farms, become unhappy
bnd give up their jobs. On the sub
/ ect Of city laborers as farm hands the
kdtor comments in part as follows:
"Farm hands in large numbers can
pot be made by transferring the sub
merged tenth Of the cities to the
Farms. The attempt to do this is
quite foolish as to transplant unem-
|pOyed farm hands to the cabs of
locomotive engines and the street
oars Of the cities.
The road back to the land is one of
|esy stages in which city people must
|get themselves gradually habituated to
|'ne hardShips of the farm, its slow
financial returns, and its demand for
|skll. Those who at the same times
can realize its opportunities and its
lnal rewards will stay on the land
Nose who cannot will return.
In refusing to work on farms,
many of these unemployed people are
wiser than those who seek suddenly
% make farmers of them"

Total ..... $10693.54 $1O693 "a
() This represents accounts lost
during the year, besides something
like 100000 more old accounts still
carried on our boolls.)
From the above you can see that
the net receipts for the year was
$322616.
AS before stated some claim we paid
too much for the plant, so we will
again disregard our investment and
figure the percent of gain or loss on
our tax assessment, which as you
doubtless know is made by the Arkan-
sas Tax Commission. The taxes for
the year 1913 was $12,000.00 or so
per cent on $24,O0O.OO.
No one should or would deny any
business per cent on its money, and
as it is agreed that the depreciation or
sinking fund of telephone plant
should be 10 per cent, this makes a
total of 18 per cent that should be
earned. Still figuring on the $4,000.
this would give $4,300,00 or a total
loss for the year of $1093S4. This
too when the plant is new and the
maintenance is at its minimum you
can readily see that the maintenance
cost will increase as the plant grows
older.
We also wish to say that for the
protection of our friends and to get
an amiable settlement of the distur-
bance, we have and do now again
make to the Business Mems League
the following proposition:
You select one man, we select one.
Those two select a third man, then
the three audit the books and affairs
of the Telephone company and render
their decision. Both sides agreeing
to abide by the decision.

GREATEST COKE PRODUCTION

All records in coke production were
broken in 1913, according to state
ment by Edward w. Parker, of the
United States Geological Survey, the
output being 46,311 1863 short tons,
valued at $12S,951 ,430. This is an in
crease over the 1912 output of 2, 327,-
no tons in quantity and SIT, 146,317
in value. OF the 1913 production 49,
500, 500 tons was made in beehive
ovens and y, TATTOO tons, or pa per
cent, in retort or distillation ovens
where all the -products-tar, gas,
ammonia, etc.-are saved. The in
crease in production of by-product
coke was over twice as large as the
increase in beehive coke.
The principal increase in by-product
coke production in 1913 was in Alaba-
ma, where the gain was nearly so per
cent, from 1,349,797 tons in 1912 to
2022,9 59 in 1913. The increase in
Pennsylvania was nearly one-third,
from 1,974,619 tons in 1912 to 2,62S,-
$50 tons in 1918. Indiana showed an
increase of 110,6S6 tons, and Illinois
of 81, 500 tons
A large part of the coal used in
by-product ovens in States that do not
produce coking coal was obtained from
West Virginia mines. Mr. Parker es-
Inmates that the quantity of West
Virginia mines. Mr.. Parker estimates
that, the quantity of West Virginia
coal made into coke outside of the
State was 100000 tons. The quanti-
ty of coal made into coke in West
Virginia was 4,034,251 tons and the
quantity of coke produced therefrom
was 2,472,752 tons. If all the coke
made from West Virginia coal were
credited to that State it would amount
to about 7,750,000 tons.

LETTER FROM w. b. GARRETT

Editor News
Crop conditions are much better out
here than when we wrote last.
AT the time Of our last writing
we had just had one rain to do any
appreciable good in over four months
That rain came on the 9th of April,
and failed to give thorough season.
During the month just closed May
We have had about 3 inches of rain
which has furnished a bountiful of
stock water and put a good season in
the ground and as a consequence vege
tation is growing off now amazingly.
Crop planting is nearly completed.
There is small per cent of cotton
and sorghum implanted and some will
plant June corn which is not planted
earlier that the first or second week
in June.
Cultivation of the earliest planted
crops has begun and cotton chopping
will be under Roadway soon.
Where from 50 to so acres of cotton
is planted to the hand as it is done
here, choping it out is quite a propo-
sition although 3 and acres day for
a good chopper is common. This
work is not near so bad here as in
Arkansas and the east where crab
grass and cockle-burs grow so luxu-
riantly.
There is no crab grass here at all
and only now and then we find few
cookie burrs, and they are altogether
different from the eastern variety.
Those found here are very large burr
and less prolific and more easily kept
down than the small variety, and are
seldom found except on low lands on
creeks or branches.
There are quite variety of weeds
here that give the farmers trouble
enough. They are sure doing some
growing now since the rains. Unlike
crab-grass all the weeds and foulness
that the farmer here has battle with
can be killed by cutting or blowing up
even in wet weather.
With sufficient rainfall from now
on bumper crop of everything is an
ticipated and will surely be realized
barring hot winds in August or the
ravages of the boil worm The boil
weevil has never struck this country
yet.
Grass in pastures and ranches is
getting fine and all stock will soon be
sleek and fat The pastures and
ranches here taking the whole country
over comprise about so or 80 per cent
of the area,
The stock business is of considerable
Importance though | am told by the
Oldest settlers that the business is
small now as compared with what it
was 20 or % years ago. BY the way
the Oldest settler have met has only
been here about 80 years.
The Hereford and Red Durham
breeds of cattle are the most popular
and highest priced OF any other here.
A well developed one year old Here
ford or Red Durham steer will sell
readily for from $50 to $35
will give a few figures to enlight-
en- the News readers little more on
the rabbit question in West Texas.
Howard county that only paid a boun-
ty for two months for scalps of Jack
rabbits alone received by May LIST.
10000 and Mitchell county which has
been paying a bounty for a year
had received for the year up to May
LIST about $4,000 including both Jack
and cotton tails How is this for rab-
bits? After killing all of these
thousands there are plenty left to
damage crops very materially. We
hardly miss those killed.
