TO AROUSE INTEREST
 IN WHEAT GROWING Looking Toward the Estab- fishing of a Flour Mill
 At This Place.
TG HOLD 4 SERIES OF MEETINGS

We are publishing below let ter, 8 copy of which has been mailed to all the farmers in this territory and it is urged that the farmers attend these meetings, as we are assured that if enough interest is shown the four mill will be erected. The letter ex- plains the situation.
 Judsonia, October 5, 1915. Dear Sir:
 In order to stimulate the growing of Wheatin this conamun- ity there will be 3 series of meet ings held at the followiag school houses on dates given:
 McCauley, Thursday, Oct. r.
 Clark, Friday, Oct. 8.
 Clear Water, Saturday Oct. 8.
 Providence. Monday, Oct. II.
 Bonham, Tuesday, Oct. 12.
 Oak Dale, Wed. Oct. 13.
 Lewis, Thursday, Oct. "A.
 No. 45, Friday, October 15.
 Meetings willstart at 7::30 D. n.
 The growing of wheat is one of the most vital questions that cone front this community at this time. It i3 a long established fact tlaat no community can permanently prosper without the growing of the<winter cerials. Wheat can be soWn in the fall when the wealth CT is generally fine for this kind of work and when the work stock is otherwise idle. This work be- ing done at this time does not in tefere with the planting or gath ering of other crops now grown. " heat IS 8 crop that needs no clltiva tiGn and is harvested after the spring rush is over. The wheat crop is harvested iq time to be followed by corn, potatoes, peanuts, soy-bears, peas, and oth- CT hay crops; which furnishes 8 rotation of crops so badly needed by oursoils. The object of these meetings is to arouse interest ip the growing of wheat to such an extent as to make it possible to establish a mill in this community for the grinding of wheat into flour, bran and shorts, thereby giving the grower the benefit of these valued products at home, which he has heretofore had to ship from other localities at an e. normous cost. This is move in right direction as 1t affords the farmer an opportunity to grow his wheat and have 1t milled at home. On account of lack of mill- ing facilities, it has been imprac- ticable to grow wheat in the past, but by removing this obstacle there is no reason why this com munity should not provide at home all the flour, and wheat products that are consumedby oui people. If there is sufficient in- terest shown good seed wheat, a. dapted to this locality, will be ob- tainable through the Judsonia Fruit and Vegetable Growers As sociation. Be sure to come to one of these meetings and bring your neighbors with you, so that this important question can be thor ougly discussed and better under stood.

I have not spoken of the dweller in the Bronx, the Harlemite the resident of Queens, etc, each of whom has different idea of life in Greater New York city.

 Down in a city in Sunland, I count among my best friends a splendid fellow whose virtues so far outhumber his faults that the latter are not visible to the naked eye But he has spent all of his life thus far in one city, in one establishment, and is victim of an environment, which, while not unhealthy in any sense. yet on account of its very limitations has had a narrowing influence upon him. Had he lived a bit more in other places believe he would now be known to far wider cir cle-a national one, perhaps.

 But here in the park are many, many squirrels, running around at will and ap- parently unafraid of good and bad alike Pretty little beggars that they are, they display a perfect confidence in all human- ity, going close up to anyone who seems to want them and eating out of his or her hand in perfect fearlessness. I have fed them, I have watched others feed them, yet never have I seen one of these squirrels molested or i'll treated by park visitor. Their motives are known to be free from guile, and their perfect confi- dence in mankind begets confidence In return and a gentle treatment that is no less than a transient affection that man would not dare give to his brother, of whose motives he is far less certain.

Some Remarks
 On Business

In this way, and uthers bizness has been moor or less stung by our grate statesmen Congress has been full of grate statesmen who materially failed to make good in uther lines of trade, but who sought to make d big hit by regulating bizness. The time has been in this country amung polyticians that when man had ovver a thousand bones in vizzibull assets he was an object of suspicion; and when he got ovver ten thousand he must be secund story climber and is at onse, therefore, a polytical issue. At times when we have sat under the spell of the matchless orratory of sum of our grate statesmen as they delivured burning and bisturing rebuke to the pred ditory rich class, we have felt that indeed it was crime to have mummy. How guilty a man must feel who has to pay tax on q big incum. How much moor happy wo ought to be with our consiences cleer and bright, polished up, so to speek, with Book beer and floating debt, than the poor. misserabull bizness man who has devoted his life to the accumulation of large and corpulent incum, only to be an object of suspission; condemned to live the remaind- UT of his life without evver knowing what it is to be without doller Compelled to associate with uther men who alsos have munny-it certainly is turf.
 Immagine yourself, gentul reedur, if you can, fat and pompus railrode magnet. Of corse, we reelize that it may be difficult to imagine yourself fat and pompus railrode magnet, but try it enny way. If we was fat and pompus railrote magnet, nuthing in the world would evver induse us to admit it. We have herd them spoken of so harsh ly and in such turns of bitter sarcasm, that we have lost all desire to becum one.
 Bizness, in way, has been misunder stood by those patryots of ours who have been making the laws, and 1t has not been altogethur the fawlt of the sed patlvots Bizness itself is partly to blame becawse it has been most to greedy aftur dividends and too anxious to corral the elusive samoion to pay verry close attension to the ethical details supposed to be used in our best sirces If bizness would entur into sollem agreemnt to Biz along legitimate lines. and organized labor would likewise entur into sollem agreemdnt to wurk moor and lobby and talk less, for livvlnS, and our patryottic statesmen would agree to let both of them alone while so doing, then, indeed. would our broad and undulatng landskape becum veritabull paradise of prosperity and one thing and anuther.

 EY anxiety to polytisians theese days as bizness. Bizness has always cawsed quite good deel of anxiety one way or an uther. One minnit our grate statesmen air throwing an average of three fits a sec und becawse bizness is grabbing evvery thing in site and then sum, leeving the plain peepul with nuthing to sheltur them frum the cold wintur blasts-exsept the kind regards of sed bizness, and the next minnit bizness is cawsing just as much wurry becawse it is languishing itself and is wobbling around like totturing dynasty. Not that we evver saw tottur- ing dynasty wobble around, but it seems to fit the case so we used it.
 Enny how, nuthing has been the direct cawse of so much orratorrical display in Congress as bizness, unless it is the farm urs of the country Evvery boddy in Con gress is the undying frend of legitimate bizness and the uncompromissing foe of bad bizness. Evvery boddy believes that big blzness, and unrestricted monopoly ought to be regulated and legitimate biz ness giveen an opportunity to grow and ex- pand, so that it will also get big and be reg gulated. If bizness grows and flourrishes, theere is lot of consurn and wurry be- cawse bizness is eating all the grapes, and if bizness gets on the bumm and becums discouraged then evvery body gets exsited and begins to gnaw the wood work.
 Of corse theer air varius and sundry kinds of bizness in this country Big biz ness little bizness good bizness and bad bizness all scrambulled togethur and all wurking for the same dividends
 Of corse the ambsion of evvery yuth in the land, is eethur to grow up and becum Merchint Prinse, and own an oughtomo- bile, and have appendeseetus or lawnch into polyticks and run for pressidint If he selects bizness as his future occupason, his fond parents straitway prepare him to restle with his competiturs in the bizzy marts of trade, by giving him weeks rorse in bizness college or a correspond ince school. He then gets a diplomer certifying that when 1t cums rite down to aces he is theere on enny little bizness propersison roaming round at large. He is just about ripe, therefour, to go out into the cold and crewel world and lose his union suit and uther luxuries before he gets wise to the fact that what he don't know about bizness couldn't be packed ill furniture car.
 Sum folks have a natural bizness bent; uthers have not, and those who have not seem to be in the large and gloomy major rity. Now and then you can see in your nayborhood a shining exampul. You will obsurve sum callow fased yuth with hand like summer squash, and who cannot rite litterery gem to his crediturs to save his

In other wordss did you ever live in New York? Here we are so accustomed to look upon the biggest things of life--in a way-that nothing seems particularly worth while enthusing over.

SHIPPING SHEEP TO MARKET
pear to Best Advantage on Arrival
at Their Destination.
(By W. COFFEY.)


In shipping sheep or lambs to mar
ket care should be taken to handle
them so they will appear to best adj
vantage at the time of sale. The car
in which they are shipped should be
well bedded with dry straw or some
other material which is it's equivalent
for keeping the animal clean. 1t is
not necessary to give each sheep or
lamb in the car more space than
enough to stand comfortable, but over
crowding should be avoided. In hot
weather especially, overcrowding re-
suits in losses. At this time losses
are likely to result from mixing lambs
in with older sheep, because the lambs
often suffocate from being crowded in
between animals larger than them
selves.
At the time of shipment the fleeces
of sheep or lambs should be dry. If
they are wet it is difficult to keep them
clean in appearance even though the
car be we'll bedded. If they are very
wet when they reach the market buy
ers do not like to bid on them, and If
they do they attempt to allow for the
moisture in the wool by offering less
for them than if they were dry.
If, at the time of shipment, some
of the sheep or lambs are foul behind

where insects are bad. Stalk cutters
have been in use for years in this
country, though their use has been
limited because of the large acreage
put into crop in the short space of
time available. The cylinder on which
the blades are mounted is lowered in
to contact with the ground when the
machine is pulled into a stalk field,
rolling along as the cutter is pulled.
The stalks are Strengthened by guide
rod that drags on both sides of the
row ahead of the cutting cylinder, so
that practically every stalk is cut into

EXPENSE OF BUILDING SIL0
Local Conditions, Such as Prices Of
Materials, Labor, Etc, Has Much
to Do With Total Cost.

(By c. H. STAPLES, Louisiana Expert
ment Station.J
The cost of building a silo varies
with local conditions, such as the
prices of material, labor, etc. The
average cost of building a REINFORCED
concrete silo is from $3.50 to SO per
ton capacity, while the cost of the
stave silo is about $3.50 per ton ca.
pacity-that is, a concrete silo with
a capacity of 100 tons would cost, on
the average, from $3.50 to 5000, while
a stave silo of like size would cost
about $3.50.
The concrete silo will last indefin-
itely when properly constructed, which
is an advantage over the stave, plas'
ter or wooden block. On the other
hand, a stave silo has an advantage
in that it can be moved if that is
found to be necessary. 1t is sometimes
advisable to build a stave silo If the
farm buildings are not permanently
located, as the concrete can never be
moved.
