Dear Sir
 Kindly permit US to call at. tention through your columns to the fact that the Prescott and
 Northwestern Railroad has es-

 velopement Dept. for the benefit of the territory served by it's line
 Mir. l.. A. Markham, formerly with the '. s. Department of Agriculture, The Missouri Pacific Railway Company and late,y the Arkansas State Department of Agriculture. has been employ ed to have charge and direction of this work.
 There are three principal ob- jects to which we intend to bend our energies, viz:
 First: The development of the fruit. vegetable and produce industry. Already a large meas ure of success has been achieved by growers and shippers at some points along cur line, and by the practice of the same methods ! p01al sIIccpsss can be achieved | at the other points.
 To this end 1t is our purpose to assist the farmers in strengthen ing their lccal organizations and in maintaining compact business like bodies throughout the entire length of our line. Especial at- tention will be given to the mar ! keting feature, for safe economi- ! cal and business-like marketing is QnquestionabIy the greatest . economic problems confronting the farmers of America at this . time. We wlIl take full adyant- age of fhe market service of tde E-S Department of Agriculture and of tfe connecting railroad l. lines =eitha aFie# 10 etEeeuna q # more equitable distribution aad bv assisting in the introduction of uperi -rvariettes, and the ad- form and rigid enforcement 7f [
 tandard grading and packing
 rules we hope 10 help in placing the products from our line on the same high market standard I which our cantaIoupes are al- ready beginning to attain in the principal markets of the count ry. This will solve the market problem. and solve it for all years to come.
 Second: The developement of general agriculture, If you de sire suggestions or advice on such subjects as soil preparation, best varieties and quantities of seed to plant. use of fertilizers, ! ditchng or terracing, fighting insects or plant diseases, com ! batting hog cholera and other animal diseases, planting past ! ures, forage and clover crops, . soil improvement and other pract- ! jcal subjects of the farm, We shall be glad to have you write to our Extension Agent, MT. L. <. X. Markham, Prescott, Arkan- sas. He cannot be an expert cn all these things, of course, but ! our work will Q carried on in the closest connection with the Government and the State Agri- culture authorities and any in formation which we cannot sup | ply will be quickly obtained for you from these other sources. Through systematic lecture work . and the distribution of standard . literature it is planned to wage vigorous campaign of general agricultural educational work.
 Third: To get the farmers, the business men and the rail- way interests to working har- moniously together for those things which concern us all alike. Surely we can all join hands in

TO RETAIN MINIMUMS
President Noble of Stock Elk.
change Explains Why.

Owing TO the numerous inquiries
that have been received at the Stock
Exchange regarding the necessity for
the maintenance of minimum prices on
the most active issues, II. G.. S. Noble.
president of the exchange and chair
man of the committee which estab-
lishes these minimums, Yesterday
issued the following statement:
Owing to the uncertain position in
cident TO the war, and the abnormal
condition of the foreign markets, it has
been deemed wise to guard a sudden
generalization of prices that might
come with some unlocked for news.
Minimum prices furnish this safeguard
by arresting a panicky decline auto
matically. 1t is not the intention, how
ever, that minimum prices should be
used to valorize or sustain the market
al any arbitrary levels, and such a pro-
oedure would lead to the establishment
Of an unregulated outside market if
the natural trend were ignored.
ut is, therefore, the object of the
committee to keep minimum prices as
far as possible in conformity with sup
ply and demand, while at the same time
using them as check against unfore-
seen panic"
