The Climate.

The winter season is of short dura-
ton We have cold weather beginning
in December and continuing until Feb
ruary. The lowest temperature reached
is about Is degrees Fahrenheit above
zero The rainfall is usually greater
during the months of February and
March. Spring is the most delightful
season. Planting time is from March
until June The summers are warm. a
maximum temperature being reached
of about 100 degrees There s
always an abundance of rainfall. a
drouth is a very rare thing. The fall
season is usually dry and just cool
enough for one to feel good all the time
The Dermott news., 1916-05-18
Crops Grown.

The chief crop. as is we'll known. Is
cotton. We have gotten into a rut
with reference to cotton and seem
doomed to stay there unless more
Northern farmers locate here The
Census report shows that Chicot coun-
ty produced more cotton per acre for
TEN YEARS than any other county in
the United States This is slight in
dlcation Of the richness of the soil. An
average crop of cotton Is three fourths
bale to the acree. A bale weighs 500
pounds and brings on average He per
pound.
CORN Is close second to cotton IN
this section Land that will average
TO and 70 bushels to the acre is plenti-
ful here
WHEAT Is practically an unknown
quantity here, Several small fields
have been sown and in all cases it pro
duced we'll. Wheat men say that
wheat can be grown very successfully
here
OATS il raised extensively Nearly
every farmer has his oat patch
HAYS All the different hays that
can be grown in the north and east can
be grown here successfully, such as
red clover, timothy millet bermuda
grass in fact this land will grow any
crop that can be grown in any country,
except tropical plants
LESPEDEZA is a natural plant, The
ing plant Ii is successfully grown for
hay. producing from two TO four tons
per acre.

Simple Truths.

Realizing that It is the unfortunate
clstom.of some real estate concerns to
draw upon their imaginations greatly
in advertising community. and ap-
preciating the fact that the homeseek
er is more Interested in the plain truth
concerning country than he il in
beautiful rhetoric descriptions and
tlowery words. we have endeavored to
state plainly and simply the plain facts
in this article descriptive of Southeast
Arknnsas.
The Dermott news., 1916-05-18
Facts You should Know
About Southeast Arkansas

ALFALFA The Agricultural De
partment at Washington, d. G. says
that all dark loans are especially
adapted to the growing Of alfalfa.
While it has not been grown extensive
" here. enough IL raised each year to
demonstrate that it can be successfully
grown.
PEAS for a forage crop are most
successful An average of from four
to five tons of pea hay has been har
vested from an acre, Two crops are
grown from one sowing. provided the
first crop Is sown early.
IRISH Potatoes. Sweet Potatoes and
Melons produce abundantly. Straw
berries are very easily raised and pro.
duce excellently All kinds Of vegeta
bles grow rank here; IN fact this coun
try strikes happy medium between
the north and south and produces veEe-
tables that can be grown in both sec
tons The demand for vegetables IN
Dermott j. greater than the supply
and there IL good opportunity here
for more wide awake gardeners.
DAIRYING Is a sadly neglected IN
dustry The acres upon acres of the
most excellent ranges. the mild winters
on mich cattle. and the great demand
for milk and butter combine TO create
wonderful opportunity for live dairy
men here.
POULTRY and its products are al
ways in demand Chickens, geese and
turkeys do we'll here. Chickens bring
big price, fryers averaging 30c each.
Eggs sell at an average price of 2oc
per dozen In the winter months the
price often goes to 45e per dozen.
LIVE STOCK. Perhaps no country
affords as natural advantages for cattle
raising as this. There are many hun
dreds of acres of the finest free range.
/ In the winter cane grows in abundance,
which with little feed easily tide the
cattle over until the next spring. The
winter is of short duration and mild.
which is Of great assistance TO this IN
dustry. Hogs do exceedingly we'll here
also Most Of the farmers have dip
ping watts and consequently their stock
do not suffer from ticks.
The Dermott news., 1916-05-18
A Word in Conclusion.

We have endeavored 10 give you a
clear impression of this country and Its
advantages in the foregoing You Will
find that every statement Is based on
facts. and now we want TO extend TO
YOU an invitation to come and see fer
Yourself As host inviting a guest,
We ask that you come to this land of
sunshine and plenty, where crop failure
is unknown. and cast your lot among
as God fearing liberty-lovlng people

The Dermott news., 1916-05-18
The Health.

A mistaken idea is prevalent among
the less informed that Arkansas, and
particularly this section. is sickly.
There is no more sickness here than
there is anywhere else. Your health
is in your own hands. you can keep
we'll or be sick just as you choose to
live. If proper sanitary rules are OBJ
served around the home. and care ia
taken in exposure. one will rarely if
ever be sick. There are are some mos
quitos, and they are responsible for
malaria, according to the health de
partment of the government. Every
home is screened and as a result there
is very little malaria here.

Troublesome Flies.

Don't allow them to hatch. Spray
garbage cans, stables etc. with Ross
Dead Quick" Spray. 1t kills the
larvae. To prevent mosquitoes, spray
lightly on pools of water, rain barrels,
,and in cellars To disinfect the home.
spray lightly two or three times a

bought at a sacrifice while others can
not be bought at all cut over land
