MANY DOLLARS SAVED
BY BUYING PURE SEED
Care in Selecting Parent For 1873
Crop Will Mean Better Yield at Har.
Vest-2o Per Cent More.

In buying seed farmers should Ca:N-
Iully consider the following points II
they expect to get the worth Of their
money: First, where the seed was
grown; second quality of the seed
thlrd, percentage OF termination;
fourth, percentage Of trash; nlth,
purity OF seed; sixth, presence ana
kind Of weed seed.
Seed must become accimated TO
any particular section before they will
produce the best crops. This often
takes two or three years. II Is always
best to buy seed from neighbor II hs
has them with the proper quality and
purity. However it will often be nee.
essary to resort to the seed houses In
that case a statement should he SO.

REAL VALUE OF HARD ROADS
Illinois Man Gives interesting Facts
and Figures Comparing Worth
OF Brick and Earth.

w. T. Blackburn OF Paris, Edgar
county, Illinois has studied the ques.
tion of hard roads as to their value
IN dollars and cents to the farmer,
and here is what he says about it:
i recently observed the revenue
from two separate farms Of 320 acres
each located in the corn belt OF Iii
hols, one at the end Of a four.mie
Drlck paved road; the other at the end
OF f0ur-mile mud road, These farms
should produce under the ordinary TO-
tatlon OF crops annually 26S tons OF
corn, so tons OF oats and 120 tons OF
nay, or 4SO tons in the aggregate to
be delivered over four miles OF road,
way. On the brick road there has
been delivered II tons Of grain in one
trip by one team, using five wagons,
while on the earth road two tons were
all that could be delivered by a simi.
lar team
The haul being four miles in both
cases, and as they could make three
trips a day, "A miles team travel, the
team on the earth road could deliver
siN tons per day at a cost for team and
wagon OF $3.50, thus making a cost OF
20 cents per ton for the fOUrmile
haul, On the brick road the delivery
was ~ tons per day ut a cost OF 1874
cents per ton on fOur.mile haul A
difference OF 50 cents per ton in the
cost OF delivery IN favor OF the brick
road, or n difference OF S264 on the iSo
tons delivered
This Is only small percentage OF
the actual loss to the farmer living on
the earth road az he has had to sell
his grain at time when the roads
were in condition that II could be de-
llyered without regard to the price OF
his product,
From actual experience It has been
demonstrated that this would repre-.
sent loss OF $3.50 per ton on corn,
$3.50 per ton on oats. aud 81 per ton
on his hay, making loss in the aggre'
gate OF 1920 ON account OF not being
able to deliver at the best market
price,

proved, would only represent tax on

The railroads Of Arkansas are today fac
ing the most serious financial problem they
have ever been called upon to solve. Briefly,
il is more revenue or receiverShipS. The
price of practically everything has advanced
very materially during the recent past The
railroads are now paying more for neces-
sary material and labor, and for practically
everything that goes into the operation OF
a railroad, aud yet are receiving less reve-
rue. The railroads are not asking for an
increase in this instance. They are merely
asking for the restoration OF a rate which
'the Interstate Commerce Commission re-
Gently decided is reasonable, and which is
generally conceded by those cOnyersant
with business and railroad conditions to bs
just,
Because the railroads believe that the
citizens of this state desire to be fair be-
cause the railroads believe their cause is
just and because Arkansas prosperity has
a close relationship to railroad prosperity,
the railroads have decided to appeal to the
leople in a series Of articles. They request
the people to read these articles, keeping in
mind that the closest scrutiny OF every
statement is invited. They wish to present
their case clearly and openly.
The railroads have transportation to SELL
but cannot sell it at present prices and
meet theis Obligations. They want TO give
Arkansas rs good service as is given in
any other State by any railroad, but this is
impossible under tNo-cent rate The rail
roads will be able to show that the con-
slant and unnecessary haraSsing Of rail
