DAD AND THE WEEKLY

Sometimes dad says the paper somehow ain't got up just right, and does lot o'kickin' when he reads it Friday night. He says there ain't a dad burned thing in it worth while to read am that it doesn't print the kind o'stuf the people need. He throws it in a corner and says it's on the bum" but you'd oughter hear him holIer when the weekly fails to come.
 He ereads about the weddings and shorts like all git out, and he reads the social column with a most derisive shout; nell read about the parties and he'll fuss and fret and groan and say they print the papers for the women folks alone. He says of infor- nation. it does not contain a crumb. but lyou'd oughter hear him holler if the weekly fails to come.
 He's always first to grab it and he reads it through and through. he dosen't miss an item nor a want adr, old or new. He says.

and other dairy' product. Thirty five million were paid out for meat and dairy product-or more than half of our enormous cotton crop paid out for two articles of food. The high price of meat and dairy products promises to go still higher and to take each year from our state S larger share of our cotton crop, and yet the average farmer with very little trouble could not only produce his own meat, milk, butter and cheese, but could sell enough to buy groceries and clothing for his family. The farmers of Ark ansas are waking up and will 5000 produce all they consume and will sell surplus, and when that time comes Arkansas will be rich Arkansas Farmer.

WEEKLY. LETTER OF JOHN H. PAGE, COMMISSIONER MINES, MANUFACTURES, AGRICULTURE

1 MANUFACTURES, AGRICULTURE
 There has been such a flood of
 qratutious advice to the farmers
 from so many sources lately that
 the farmers are doubtless thor
 oughtIy disguisnd. The great
 number of letters, circulars, post Q =. dodgers. interviews and pub lie speeches from and by m n who know less about farming than anything else, that have de lugad the columns of she press for the past six weeks, has been enough to disgust the farmers
 with what they term arm chair" city farmers for all time to come. Following hard upon the recent Cotton Conferenbe called by the Governor and held in Little Rock there has been a regular flood of advice to the farmers their crops.
 l hope the real farmers who arm with their hands instead of their mouths, so to speak W l l | have pity on the city fellows who have been giving so much advice 1n diversifcation. Doubtless good many of them who knew nothing a b out diversification thought the farmers were more ignorant than they were, which to my own certain knowledge IS by no means the case. Asa mat ter of fact, 1 would like to see lot of these bankers and business men stood up in a row and taught lot of things by the farmers. The farmers of Arkansas are just about as well up on farming as the bankers and business men are on business, and can come little nearer to teaching them, than being taugh by them. In addition to this, 1t can be said to the credit of the famers, h they as a class, are reading and thinking people, and better in- formed about the functions of government, Federal and State, than the bankers and business men, and this is said with no dis respect to the latter.
 All this campaigning to teach ho to feed themselves is Rratuit- oJe, uuinvlted and unca3ed for a1vice. The farmers are not such simpletons as 10 not know t. raise their own meat and bread and corn, oats and hay, to feed themselves and their stock. They know how and they know t h z necessity. What they want from the bankers and business men is help to hold or handle their pre- sent cotton crop, and keep 1t out of the hands of the spectators. After the cotton crop gets out Of the hands of the farmers it will do them no good for the price to go up. What the farmers need is substantial help now in time of need. and lot a siuice of advice It will be an everlasting disgrace II tae banks of the South let tho cotton get out of the hands of the farmers for want of financial help, and then furnish the money to the speculator with which to hold and handle the crop and get
 the advantage of the higher prl es tlat may come later The
 hip sounding letters of advice to the farmers instead of substant- ial help, while meant and con scientiously given, is not going to meet the full expectations of the agricultural classes. T h ey.

by a crowd Of hacltmen. The three men
started for their hotel. with a porter
