CRIPPLED EDITOR FOR

Little Rock, June 2.---"Washing-

have plenty at home TO feed our
grain to in our crop diyersihoation
movement" said j.. X. Putnam,
Fayetteville lumberman, while in

bank of Fayetteville, with the as
sistance Of the Arkansas National
bank, sent to Missouri and pur-
chased a car Of Hereford cattle.
These we're sold to farmers of the
county at actual cost, and without
a bl. OF financial assistance from a
bank, 1000 was paid out for
stock within few weeks. The sue.
oess Of this sale Of registered cattle
brought another car load from MIS-
sour which was sold at auction. In
all l3O head was sold IN thus man.
ner. Most Of this stock remained
in our county, but few specimens
wandered of into Madison aud Ben.
ton counties to build up the stock
there. We have now had notice
that several additional cars of Here.
fords will be brought to Fayette.
VILE during our county fair this fall
and sold at auction.

and they are still building them
We believe in getting the best Of
stock and then feeding it we'll. The
Bank Of Prairie Grove, the First
National, bought prize specimen
OF male Hereford Of the first lot re
eelved, and it has been turned over
TO the farmers Of that section OF
the county without charge. This
shows what the bankers of our ooun-
ty are dong to elevate the farmer,
for they believe that the farm now
needs more and better stock than
anything else"
