WHAT ONE THIRTY ACRE
 FARM HAS DONE THIS YEAR

U. L. Moore has thirty acre farm. This year he has made 600 bushels of potatoes on acres of land and that with very bad stand and the drest season we have had for many years.
 He planted 7 acres in corn, rows 6 feet wide, and peanuts between the corn rows and made 100 bushels of corn and 100 bushels of peanuts MT. Moore of course saved good crop of oats and barn full of hay.
 We are wondering what he would have done if this had been a good crop year. But scientific farming has about solved the problem of dealing with drouths in Nevada county

FARMERS ARE REORGAN-
 HING IN NEBRASKA A

w. s. Delano, writing in the Inde- pendent Farmers published at Lincoln Nebraska, tells of young man who bought a farm in recent years for which he agreed to pay $50 per acre and interest at per cent. This year he made on an average Is bushels of wheat per acre and was obliged to sell it for GA cents per bushel. Sixteen bushels at GA cents equals $10.24 per acre as the revenue for that year. Interest at per cent on $150 equals $9.00 per acre, the seed what cost acre or 26 cents per acre more than the entire revenue for the year from one acre of this farm.
 Further on in his article MT. Delano mentions several proposed remedies for this state of affairs but concludes that the only remedy lies in reorgan- ization of the cooperative shipping associations.
 The editor of this page attended the National Meeting of the Farmers Union in St. Louis in 1910 and heard the wheat growers of the several states tell this same story of how they sold their wheat for 65 cents per bush el and in less than two months after

he carries it out, he must have some finances that do not as a rule come to the farm or he must have the educat- ing forces brought to his door.
 The farmer of today is in an age of educational advancement. Not a craze after higher learning, but an honest effort to bring practical edu- eating forces to the door of the peo- pie. The Extension Department of the University and the agricultural schools, consolidation and community cooperation are doing their part in this advancement. In our own county such communities as Sutton, Gale, Holly Springs, Bluff Springs and oth- CTS built up by consolidation and CO., operative effort are doing an inesti- mable work, in training boys and girls who otherwise possibly would not have had an opportunity of attending school. These communities have pos abilities and resources which they may not fully realize yet but, which will be developed in time and persis- tent effort.
 The farmers throughout the county should be looking for other factors that will hasten this work.
 The man from whom l quoted in the beginning needs higher educational facilities now and if means that he must let his boys lose interest or send them away at great expense.
 have hesitated in writing this with the plea that the farming class might accept it as advice, and I felt sure that they had had enough of that this fall, but it is written only in the hope that these Improvements will soon come to all of us for the sake of the boys and girls without a chance. More later.

PRICES OF FUTURES
 GO SLIGHTLY HIGHER
New York Cotton Market Appears to Have Reached Bottom
 Quot atiOns.

New York, Nov. 19.-The action of today's cotton market served to strengthen the impression created in local circles yesterday that the scat tering long interest in December con tracts had been pretty well lquidated and that the decline in prices had been sufficient to shut out hedge selling for the time being. At any rate, offerings were comparatively limited and the market ruled generally steady, with the close steady, net unchanged to 9 points higher.
 Liverpool reported small steady market, with prices to points high CT at the hour of the local opening and the start here was steady, 1 point lower to 8 points higher. It very quickly developed that there was very little cotton for sale and prices i'm proved on a scattering investment demand for covering. December con tracts sold at rose. or about IS points above the low level of yesterday and 9 points net higher, while new style contracts sold about to 12 points above yesterdays closing figures. It was a very narrow market, however, and subsequent fluctuations were more or less irregular, although the close was within a point or two of the best on most positions.
The Prescott daily news., 1914-11-20

the wheat was out of the farmers hands it went to $1.25 per bushel. They agreed then that cooperation was their only hope and pledged them selves to plan of cooperation that to me seemed sufficient. Now Mr. Delano lis pleading for reorganization.
 This article is interesting for several reasons. lst. The price of and in Nebraska and the average yield per acre ought to encourage the Arkansas farmer. Perhaps the wheat crop men toned in this article is below the aver age but if it is the writer does not say so. Granting that it was only half a crop it seems that we are still better off in Arkansas than the Nebraska farmer. Think of an acre of land that cost $50 making l6 bushels of wheat. At that rate how much would an acre of the average Arkansas land have to make to be as valuable as Nebraska land? It is true perhaps that every acre of this mans land was tillable but even then the Arkan- sas farm with as high as 50 per cent in cultivation and valued at $2500 per acre and making bushels of wheat per acre would still be more profitable than the Nebraska land. Then we must consider that the Arkansas land will make, after the wheat crop is har- vested, good crop of peas or corn.
 End. MT. Delano's article shows that our northern brethern have the same difficulties of shipping and controlling the price of their products that we have in the south. We have been complaining about the low price of cot ton and at the same time congratulat- ing the wheat growers on the high price of his wheat but after all it is not the wheat grower that gets the benefit of the high price.
 When will we people, North and South, ever learn to do business?
