COUN1YAGEN1 INCREASES BANK ACCOUNTS 100 PCT. This is Only One of Many Benefits of Farm Demonstration, Hope
 Banker Declares.

Hope, Oct. 21.-Since Hampstead county has had an agricultural agent the savings accounts of the local banks have increased more than 100 per cent; however, this is only one of the reasons why l believe in the county agricultural agent and what he means to our people, said Chas. 5. Foster, cashier of the Hampstead County Bank, in recent interview. Through the county demonstration work by which the farmer is being shown the value of rotation, diversi- fled farming is gaining a more per manent foothold in the state daily. To realize what diversified farming mean sto Arkansas our people have but to remember that the bank de- posits of the state increased thirty millions of dollars between April, 1915, and April, 1916, when the last report was made. Merchants and bankers must urge the farmers to continue to follow a safe and sane farm practice regardless of the price of cotton. Business men everywhere should consider the county agent s salary an investment, giving returns which cannot be estimated.
 By good fellowship and assistance these county agents have developed that spirit of community cooperation which has done more for the state than anything else in recent years. The effects have been seen in every campaign put on by the extension di- vision of the University of Arkansas and U. s. Department of Agriculture and fostered by the bankers and busi- ness men. It means a great deal in the fight against hog cholera, the cat tie tick and in the effort to improve our livestock. Through it better marketing facilities are being worked out and the life of the people in many of our rural communities has been revolutionized.

BUYS RIVER LAND
 AT SlO0 AN ACRE

Oscar Dickens, who recently re- turned to Conway after having spent about eight years in the United States navy, this week invested a part of his savings in 40-acre farm on the Arkansas river in this county. He purchased the place of William Qualls, the consideration being S4,000. This is said to be the highest rate per acre that that number of acres of farm land in Faulkner county has ever sold. The land is very fertile, however, and it IS stated, will pro- duce good return on that amount.
