The County Fair

The interest manifestedinthe various county and districtfairs held at various places in the Southwest reeentlyis commend able. More fairs have been held this year than usual and re- ports indicate that with per haps very few exceptions much has been accomplished by the fairs. The manner in which counties and towns have con tributed to fairs shows the esti- mate of fairs.
 Fairs have an educational value that would be hard to es- innate. Not only do visitors see the farm, livestock, orchard and garden products, but they inspect machines, implements, vehicles and many other things that save labor and promote human efficiency.

merchant. '1 handle this full line and can save you the ex- pense and inconvenience of sending away for them" You do,' she rejoined. Then why don't you let people know it? You will certainly get my future business. '
 The only possible reason for her not having patronized him in the past was lack of know ledge on her part that the shoe was carried locally.
 Yes, there is good local newspaper in this town but the merchant had simply failed to use it to let people know what he had to offer them.
 Progressive emerchantsrealize that to get maximum results they must keep their prospect tive patrons posted as to what they have to offer.
The Newark journal., 1915-10-21

The social feature of the fair has long been recognized. A visit to the fair gives neighbors a chance to meet, exchange ex- ,perences, sell and buy; busi- ness men of cities and towns meet farmers, professional men meet producers and the meet ing is one of good fellowship.
 The shows and other humor- Ous attractions of the fair are worth much to the people who live on the farms. This is the season for amusement when the serious side of farm life may we'll be shifted for a atime. Those who attend the fair enter into the amusements, laugh heartily and return to their work re- freshed and encouraged. For this reason fairs are greatsocial and economic factors for the country.-Farm and Ranch.

These figures prove that Ar kansas. as a live stock State, is retrograding, so far as numbers are concerned. We have no fig ues to show what Arkansas is doing in the way of improving the breed. The values do notin- dieate an improvement yet we believe there has been a distinct improvement There has been an increased value, in cattle of about 20 per cent. The market increase will perhaps equalthis. No matter whether we have im- proved the breeds or not, it is important for the farmer 10 raise live stock. Our stock. ia- cluding horses, mules, cattle hogs and sheep, aggregates g. 469, 1885 for the year 1914. Our total land area in cultivation is about 7,000,000 acres or about 5 acres per head of live stock. If all our live stock should be kept up and the manure saved 1t would suffice for one fourth of our open land. So at this rate We are going to have to buy commercial fertilizer every year, if we maintain the fertili- ty of the soil.
 In Germany the farmers are rated by the number of head of live stock, and not by the num- Der of acres cultivated The ten ant farmers in that country are required to keep a certain num- Der of live stock, and to save the manure for the soil. As a result of the Geman plans. the soil of that country has beenin- efeasing in prouctiveness, while Tn this country the soil has been decreasing in productiveness.
 We must produce more live stock. To do so We must keep our best breeding stock. We must stop selling heifer calves and dry calves in the fall; we must keep our hogs for a year. We need the brood sows for breeding purposes, and we need the feeders to eat surplus corn and peas, and for pork. If we have more feeders than to make our meat, the thing to do IS to fatten them for pork; and if the pork is not salable to our neighbors, make it into bacon and sell it next spring at good price.
 Do not sell and ship your deeY 'GI4unoo eql Jo mo s5ou them at home. Fatten them yourself, or sell to a neighobr who needs them or has feed to fatten them.
 Breed your cows and brood sows to good pure-bred malesi if you can; if you can't, then breed them anyway. We must have more live stock. Live stock pays the best of anything cn the farm. Breed your sows in November and Deremhar and get early spring pigs

MUST Be NEUTRAL
SAYS CARRANZA
FIRST CHIEF INSTRUcTS HIS MEN
TO COOPERATE WITH AMERl-
CANS ALONG THE BORDER.
Denies That His Followers Have
Crossed Border to Fight and Has
Given Orders Not to Fire
on American Troops.

Brownsville, Texas.-General Car
border imbroglio, according to state
ment by General e. P. Nafarrate OF
Matamoros, commanding the Carran
"a troops opposite the Brownsville
section.
General Nafarrate said that General
Carranza wired him to enforce strict
neutrality along the border. Nafarrate
replied that to do this he must have
more troops. Nafarrate, saying that
he wished to cooperate with the
American military authorities, gave
the following outline of border fight
ing as reported from his side of the
line:
I'VE have received orders from
First Chief Carranza to strictly OBJ
serve neutrality and not to help in any
way the Texas revolutionists. I'm
friendly reports have said several
times that our men have crossed to
the Texas side to fight. That is wrong
because our review list, the first of
this month, shows no man is missing.
We have given orders to our officers
not once, but three times, not to fire
on American troops, even If they fire
on US"
Asked why he believed ranger
might cause trouble, Nafarrate said
because they were not careful enoug'
to distinguish at whom they wert
shooting.
General Nafarrate said he now ha,
available for border patrol duty be
tween the mouth of the river an
Guerrero, more than 100 miles abov
Brownsville, 1900 men, including Gus
toms guards.
General Nafarrate said that one OF
his lieutenants who tried to water hi
horse in the Rio Grande at Reynosa
was shot from the American bank. Fl
did not know the identity of the XII
lers but said he did not believe the.
were American troops.

which were vigorously defended.

the armies of all the allies will CO.
operate.
1t is declared the Russians already
are nearly, If not quite, holding their
own against the Austrians and Ger.
mans, whose advance at most points
has been stopped and In places are on
the offensive.
Riga remains the danger point, but
the fact that the Russians continue to
occupy the town after the Germans
have advanced to the Dvina, southeast
Of Riga, leads military writer's to the
conclusion that the Russians feel rea-
sonably sure of their ability to defend
The river and In time to push suffi-
cient far westward to relieve the
pressure on their forces on the shores
of the Gulf of Riga.
The Anstrians and Russians are
facing each other across the Seth
river in Galicia, where the fighting ia
continuous. The stands which the
Russians are making suggest that
their supply of ammunition is ample.
A Petrograd correspondent says the
ammunition shortage Of the Russians
has been corrected, and that while
the production is slow 1t is incessant
and growing In activity and method.
For the thirteenth successive day
the allies have bombarded German po-
sitions in the west, only varying their
artillery activity by occasional air
raids, sapping and mining operations
and bomb throwing. In this fighting
the Germans are also taking part, and
success rests first with one side and
then the other.
Similar activity is noticed ON the
part of the Austro-Hungarian army
along the northern frontier of Serbia,
where the Teutons are Strengthening
their positions on the rivers Save and
Danube, presumably preparatory to
ne~ offensive movement.
