EEHEY LETTER GE JOHN H.
 PAGE

Cotton is the main staple crop for Arkansas, and always will be. It is grown successfully and prof itably in all counties, save seven in the northwest, and extensively grown in all but eleven. Fruit makes good staple crop in twelve to fourteen counties in the northwest. Sweet potatoes and peanuts can be made the leading staple crops in eight to ten counties in Southern Arkan- sas, if properly handled and prop erly manufactured; and cotton relied upon as a secondary staple crop. The staple crop of any community is the one to rely up- on to produce the money for the farm, and from the money crop may be expected the net profits on the farm. Necessarily all farm opera tions should bear rela- tive to the staple or money crop.
 The prime object in farm life is to make living, and provide the occupants with the necessa- ries and comforts of life, and sec ondarily to supply the means of education and social advantages for the children. and such luxu- ries as can be afforded.
 By custom and habit, the many farmers subordinate all farm op- erations to the staple or money crop. That is wrong. First pro vide, as far as possible, a good and comfortable home. Next, provide from one to three good cows to furnish milk and butter the year round; then provide a good chicken house, and with about ten dollars worth of poul- try wire make pens and runs for the chickens, so they can be kept out of the garden and crops. Set apart a good garden spot. and

sAFETY,BuT NOT MlLlTARssM

A wave of patriotic fervor IS spreading over this country as a result of the exposures made in the public press as regards OUT national weakness in matter of defense.
 No sane American citizen will want to see his country exposed to attack from some powerful foreign country. Today such an attack could only result in dis aster to lis, because of our utter lack of the means of self de- fense.
 Congress should take prompt measures to insure our immunity from attack from abroad, but 1t should be done in such manner as not to impose the burdens of militarism upon the country. The details should be carefully work ed out by experts in this line, instead of some politician who has one eye upon the national defense and the other upon the votes in his home dis trict.
 From a purely economic stand point, it is cheaper by far to trade measures to prevent war than it is to fight one after it comes.

Some times you walk into a store and a clerk jumps to be the first to wait upon you. He is there to sell goods and work never bothers him. He is willing to take down half the goods in the store in his effort to please you. He makes sales and will rise in life. But there is another class of clerks. They let you hunt them up when the boss is not around, show you as few goods as possible, and are not at all bothered if you walk away without finding what you want. They get their salaries just the same-it is only the boss who loses. They will always be clerks just clerks.

In this issue of the Tribune the announcement of Joe T. Mckinney appears as Q candi- date for Representative of Carroll county, subject to the coming Democratic primary. Mr, Me Kinney is a young attorney of Eureka Springs. He was born and reared in Carroll county. He is a staunch Democrat and is well qualified to repre- sent Carroll county in the next General Assembly. MT. Me Kinney was admitted to the bar in 1912, and has been pract- icing law in Eureka Springs since that time. The voters of Carroll county will make TO mistake if they elect him to the office to which he aspires.

 town people say we buy our hay at White Oak, Okla, by the car load. That is the way they treat us. Wonder what they will say about us ordering seed from a mail order house? If we have to order seed why not order other articles, too? 1 am satisfi- ed if the people had been able to get the seed here there would have been 200 acres put in grass in this community this fall.
 Hoping this will find a place in your valuable paper, 1 remain a friend of the Tribune?

THE WORK SEASON

The summer season is over. Picnics on the grass are a thing of the past for 1915. Baseball has been pushed out by football, with the exception of the annual classic, which will be concluded this week. It will soon be too cold to fish. Ducks are honking their way southward. The heavy frost of yesterday mornln n g blighted the lawn flowers not protected by the thoughtful housewives. The world is about to change from emerald to brown once more. The year is aging.
 To the thoughtful this might be considered a good time for recapitulation. Has the summer been worth while? Did you learn anything helpful? Did you make any new friends worth making? Did you accomplish anything along the line of your life work? Is the world any better because of the summer that has just passed and because you were one to help enjoy 1t?
 The value of such a personal inquisition would be in the prob ability that it would leave you dissatisfied. Few people do much in summer. The evenings are too short, and there is too much pleasure in the air. The softness of the atmosphere gets into the blood and brings on laziness. The very sunshine is bland, not sparkling. There is no snap to the air one breathes. It is too much invitation for grooming and incoming and spoon ing.
 But October is here and things are different. The very sum- rises are vigorous. The frosty atmosphere is surcharged with energy and intense vitality. The season for real accomplishments has arrived.
 If you are dissatisfied after looking back over the summer, a resolve to reform is natural. Map out program of work for the next six months that will be bound to bring out what there is( in you, and then, having the program, start in on it. Nothing is accomplished in this world ex- cept by work well ordered, systematic, carefully pl lam q work. Plan to do your share this winter. Joplin Globe.

make it rich. Study your ai- manac, and learn about the best vegetables, and how and when to plant, and at the proper time plant the garden. Be careful and do not plant a bigger garden than your wife can cultivate. Set aside an acre or two for a good calf pasture; and an acre for truck patches, in which plant early sweet corn, potatoes canta- loupes, turnips, spinach, water melons, peanuts and pop corn. In the spring buy a home can ming outfit, and use it during the season. Put out a few peach and apple trees, a small number of grape vines, and about one eighth of an acre of strawberries. Provide yourself with two to four good brood sows, and get good pure-bred male. Breed your soWs in November or December, and take good care of the pigs when they come, and feed and pasture them for meat next fall. Plant enough hay and forage crops to feed your stock. Pro- vide a pasture for your stock at night, and on Sundays and rainy days. It will save feed. Let the woman and children attend to the milk and butter and chick ems and perhaps the garden. Do the field work yourself, or hire a hand to help. When all this is done, put in all of the staple crop that you will be able to cultivate well, and do not neglect one part for another. Add all the live stock you can carry along with this system, and make your land as rich as you can with manure, and by planting and blowing under COW peas, and other green crops.
 Do these things, and you will succeed, raise a happy family, educate your children and make them good and useful citizens.
