DO Farmers and SfOcknen
 Want the Fair Continued?

At the meeting of the Faulkner County Livestock Growers Associa- tion here this week, there was shown a strong sentiment gainst the discon- tinuance of the Faulkner county fair, or at least the esential features of the enterprise, such as agricultural, horticultural, livestock and poultry departments.
 There have been many other ex- pressions of regret that the directors have decided to hold no fair this year. County Demonstrator J. l.. Phillips says the boys and girls engaged in corn, cotton, pig, poultry and canning club work are all keenly disappointed that there will be no place in which they can exhibit their work this fall.
 No one planes the directors for not undertaking the enterprise again in the face of the financial difficulties with which they were confronted, but everyone seems to want a fair.
 The committee appointed to inves- tlgate the matter reports that they have received much encouragement, but before proceeding further with their work, they are anxious to know
The log cabin Democrat., 1915-08-19

just what the farmers and stock men of Faulkner county want.
 Do they want the same kind of fair as has been held annually for the past six years? If not, what kind of exposition or fair would they prefer? Should the amusement features be curtailed or abolished? Should the expenditures for racing, free attrac- tions" and premiums be cut out and the admission fee reduced to nomi- nal amount?
 These and other questions, the com mittee would like for the people of Faulkner county to decide. If you have any views on the subject, give them to some member of the commit tee, which is composed of G. w. Ad- kisson, pr. T. c. Watson, J. E. Little, w. R. McHenry, Thurston Fulmer and J. l.. Phillips. Or better still, write a brief communication to the Log Cabin Democrat, giving your views in the matter.
 The time is short, and if a fair or livestock show is to be held, arrange ments must be begun at once Let us hear from you.

GRAIN CROP PAYS

RAILROADS EXPERIMENTS
ON DEMONSTRATION FARM AT E HOPE SHOW PROFIT IN
 WHEAT AND OATS.

 The great possibilities of low-priced Arkansas lands for grain production hsVe been effectively proven by re- suts at the Iron Mountain demon station farm at Hope, Ark, with boh wheat and oats during the past yer. The wheat yields averaged 29 buhels per acre and oats GA bushels pc acre. A test field, put in for com palson, of Fulgrum oats and winter tuf oats showed yield of 77 bushels per acre of Fulgrum oats and 91 buslels per acre of winter turf oats. Otler fields of winter turf oats yield ed respectively S6 bushels per acre, 70s bushels per acre, GA bushels per acr. The lowest yield was 51 bush elsper acre.
 The Iron Mountain demonstration farn at Hope was started on a piece of And that had been in cotton over 50 Tears, and which was practically won out. The yields mentioned were mac under practical farm conditions andmethods, therefore show what can be dne even on exhausted land. Aft Ter carging up rent on land, expense of setl, fertilizer, team and driver at 30 c<1ts per hour, and labor at 15 centsper hour, the grain crop on the Hope farm shows net profit of S14.a per acre, which is more than the land itself was worth three years ago, when farm demonstration work was sarted.
 The Iron Mountain agricultural de- partmnt, under direction of Com missioer of Agriculture D. C. Welty three ears ago began growing winter turf ats on the Iron Mountain dem onstraion farm at Arcadia, Mo-, the experiment being suggested by the poor Sields ow spring oats caused by frequ0t drouths just when the crop was ping made. The need of having a coyr crop to hold the soil during the rinter was realized. Each of the tree years the winter turf oats crop las been considerably more sue cessfi than the spring oats.

ARKANSAS EXCfLS
 SOUTHERN STATES
IN FARMING CAMPAIGN
SUCCESS OF DIVERSIFICATION HERE COMMENDED BY PHIL
 ADELPHIA JOURNAL.
From Fridays Daily

From Fridays Daily
 The profitable farming campaign in Arkansas has proved a success and in this is a notable exception to other southern states, according to the Country Gentleman, widely read agricultural journal of Philadelphia. An editorial in the edition of that paper which appears today says:
 "The south is now checking up on the results of it's many war-wrought diversification campaigns and in sev- eral states it has just cause to be proud of the new discoveries made and the fine harvest obtained. An advance unofficial report estimates the south's 1915 grain crop at ,540,- 100000 bushels-292, 2,000,000 bushels more than the 1914 crop. Though the cotton crop has not been cut down anywhere near last autumn's predic- tions, there has nevertheless been an appreciable shrinkage in the acreage planted-indeed, as great a shrink age as there was any sane reason to expect, in view of all the adverse fac tors to be contended with.
 Better by far for the south has been the knowledge obtained of how to begin to feed herself, and the inn petus given to the general diversifi- cation movement. In some of the southern states the feed-yourself cam paign petered out, but a notable ex- ception should be recorded in the case of Arkansas, where the profit able farming committee, which was organized during the winter, was go- ing ahead in June and July under the same enthusiastic headway that marked the early stages of it's efforts toward a reduction of the cotton crop and an increase in the growing of winter grains and other food pro- ducts.
 This Arkansas organization, made up of bankers, business men and farmers, should establish itself on a permanent basis and never let down in it's work. The state has immense natural advantages and resources for the production of an almost in- finite variety of food crops. There are hosts of progressive farmers who, with the right kind of assistance from the commercial forces, can pro- duce unbound prosperity.
 ''In this issue there is an article on Winter Grains for the South, which points out that diversification can be placed on permanent foot ing only by careful and persistent study of how to select varieties suit dto locality. Undoubtedly many southern farmers have had discourag- ing experiences. Mir. Warburton ex- plains the causes of failure and ad- vises how to transform failures into success.
 There is great danger in letting Encouragement spread, and it is the
