OUR WEEKLY LETTER
 FROM JOHN H. PAGE
Interesting Letters for
 the Farmers
ALL PARTS OF THE FARM WILL BE DISCUSSED IN THESE
 INSTRUCTIVE LETTERS

Therei is no get-rich-quick crop. The farmer should grasp this idea and hold to it. Any one crop system is a speculation, and few men thrive permanently by speculation. It is the conser- vative business man that avoids speculation who succeeds in the end. The same is true in farm ing. The farmer who raises enough corn and hay for his own stock, keeps COWS for milk and butter, a good garden, raises his own meat and work stock, raises peanuts, potatoes, a few watermelons and truck crops, makes his own molasses and helps his wife and children with the chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys, keeps a few stands of bees and a small orchard, plants peas and pumpkins in the corn and raises turnips, fall cabbages and peas, before he turns his labors to a money crop will live and be able to buy school books, school shoes, clothing and Christ mas toys, and pay his taxes, no matter what his money crop may be. If the price of cotton will justify it, cotton is a good money crop, but by all means it should be made a secondary matter.
 My theory is that cattle and hogs will make the best money crop. A good fat steer will bring from forty to sixty dollars Hogs will grow into dollars now quicker than any agricul- tural product, if you will vac- cinate them against the cholera. The hogs and cattle are not perishable like some of the farm products. You can market them any time of the year. If the price is low when they are ready to market, you can keep them for a better price. You can't do that with all farm products.
 Stock on the farm furnish manure and save fertilizer bills. Plenty of stock and COW peas on the farm, with corn, grain, hay and forage to fatten it, and the manure saved and used, will keep up up the soil on the farm, and perhaps lessen your labor. If you abandon or neglect these you will have to work harder and cultivate more land, year by year or do on less. Dr. R. M. Cow, State Veterinarian, Fay etteville, Ark, will vaccinate your hogs for you if you pay his expenses and buy the serum.

COMMUNICATION
Editor Courier Democrat:

Editor Courier.D Democrat:
In your last weeks issue VT were
pleased to find a communication from
the pen of H. G. Otteson, discussing the
proposition of forcing the levying of a
tax by the county commissioners for
maintaining so,called better farming
experts in this county and we, the un-
| dersigned representative farmers, wish
to not only commend and endorse all
that Mr.. Otteson has said on the subject
but we wish to respectfully present for
public consideration the following state
ments and just propositions:
l. In a recent personal canvass of
approximately 100 leading farmers only
two were found to be in favor of making
the levy referred to. and we firmly be-
lieve hat no matter how many may have
signed the petitions pussyfooted around,
not over five per cent of the farmers of
the county would vote for the levy if it
was put to a vote of the farmers only,
and that it would not receive more than
thirty per cent of the full vote of the
county.
.. The only men in the county, and
they are not over fifty in number, who
have any license to expect to be benefit
ed by our continuing to employ these
"experts," are the land spectators and
,n,) oefofo NAV hrl fhor oro fho or1e
who are endeavoringt to force this burden
upon US, whether we like it or not.
g.. The town business man is not a
producer of wealth, while the farmer is.
And therefore said business man could
not pay q dollar in taxes if the farmer,
through patronage, did not share with
him the wealth which the farmer pro-
duces out of the soil, and it naturally
follows in this particular case that the
farmers opinions and wishes should
have most weight.
4. AS the business men of the town
have unthinkingly or unwittingly signed
these petitions and assisted in getting
them signed, it has become a case of the
towns of the county, and especially
Lapgdon, arraying themselves against
the farmers, and creating the possibility
and probability of the farmers retaliat-
ing.
Now therefore, we hereby propose that
the Langdon commercial club call a
convention for an amicable discussion
and decision of the subject at some
date in the last half of June next, at
which the chairman of each town board
be requested to attend as a public duty.
And that each county commissioner
from each township in his district, the
town to name a proportionate number of
delegates. Such convention of repre-
sentative citizens to settle the question
for or against the levy.
If some such just and fair treatment
and consideration is not accorded us,
and If those petitions are to be presented
regardless of our just protests, we will
resort to the courts for relief and justice
and the fight between town and country
will her be on and we won't be the
losers.
