A DEMAND FOR ORGANIZATION
We'll Known Farmer and Business Man of Brinkley Territory Writes Splendid Article and Makes
 Business Offer

The next year 10000 and lately they have sold 4O,OO0 with no conjestion and yet at good pro- fits.
 Why this advantage? One man sells all the oranges of California. Most of them or all are sold before they are loaded, Never on any occasion are enough shipped to any place to glut the market.
 Suppose one man located at Brinkley had the selling of all onions, sweet potatoes, beans. peas, pumpkins and in fact all the produce the farmer had to sell, how easy it would be for the man that wanted to buy, to phone his wants to this central agent. This marketing secretary could be hired upon stated salary by an advisory board composed of 8 farmers and 2 business men to be elected by the farmers who sign the roll agreeing to partici- pate as a starter.
 Say that the citizens of the 1st. and 14th., Judicial Districts be the first or beginner? ? Brinkley's location is fine and her shipping facilities can't be beat in the state. I will say that as a farmer will participate. As a business man l will support, as a booster I will put up my part of the Hong green" to put the wheels a rolling.
 Yours for the better,

Then her coat will shine like silk, We'll get butter, beef and milk, We'll have money in the bank, And the dipping vat to thank.::lI Just a little arsenic. That will make that tick plumb
 sick.
 She'll be sick enough to die. And no one will have to cry. Farmer, Farmer build that vat. Can't you see where you are at l Loosing money every day. While you let the cattle tick stay.

Right along the line that the ARGUS has been hammering on during this entire year that of an organized effort on the part of the farmers and merchants of this territory, to market the farm products, this splendid letter comes from Col. A. F. Maberry, of Ft. Maberry. as a reminder of our failures along this line.
 Everything in this day and time depends on organization the merchants and business men owe it to the farmers to take hold of and push this marketing proposition across the line. Ii can be done.
 Maberry, Ark, Oct. II, 1915. Dear ARGUS:
 You and your paper are such boosters for everything that helps the people and the farmer, in particular I write to drop a thought. We all have preached and some practiced raise your living at home. and some to sell, and more people have adopted that theory this year in this community than ever known before. Many are we'll pleased, some are not. Those who are not were caused to be so because they could not sell that part that was raised to sell. The why's are many but the greatest cause, was that those who wanted this surplus and were willing to buy didn't know when and where they could buy. Those who had it to sell didn't know who wanted lit. There is always a market for everything the farmer grows if he only knew the man and the place.
 Now that is dead easy to over come. lis no new experiment no trial-but just take the plar tried and proved by the "Citrit Association of California. :" Th' days before this association il California shipped 5000 boxes O oranges. Then the orangt market was glutted in many places to such an extent tha they did not pay charges. The first year the association solo 10, GOO boxes with no conjestion
