wealthy and accomplished daughter of

OLD ESTABLISHED
HOUSE OF DEWOODY
EXTENDS TRADE
Popularity Of P o d u C t S
Brings Demand from Near
ly Every State.

W. l.. Dewoody, proprietor of the
well known house Of W. l.. Dewoody
G. company, established the business
in 1870, and by excellent Judgment
and continuous attention to details of
the business has succeeded in gaining
the confidence of the merchants of
Southern and Eastern Arkansas, many
of whom bought their first bill Of
drugs from him and are still valued
customers Of the house.
Mr.. Dewoody bought his opening
stock from New York, Philadelphia
and other Eastern points, shipping the
goods to Pine Bluff by water, there
being no railroads running into Pine
Bluff at that time. 1t has always
been Mr.. Dewoody's policy to buy
from first hands and from the most
reliable manufacturers in their respec-
tive lines. His association with them
through his membership in the Ma
tional Wholesale Drug association and
the American Pharmaceutical associa-
ton has enabled him to keep posted
thoroughly and in a position to give
to the patrons Of the house the best
to be had-always in original pack
ges.
Mr.. Dewoody, while not now in act
i've charge of the business, is still in
close touch with the affairs Of the
firm, and by his good council lends
great help and encouragement to those

LANDS ARE CHEAP:
NOT APPRECIATED

Lands in Jefferson county are cheap,
because of their productivity is not
known generally.
When the wise men of this county
realize that our $50 lands will produce
as much as the 5000 lands OF the Cen
tral West, there will be no more cheap
lands in this country. They are
Cheap" only because they can be pur-
chased now for q low figure-a figure
below their actual worth. This is
proved by the fact that one crop will
bring enough to pay for the land.
Suppose a certain company would
pay annually dividend on it's shares
equal to the par value of the stock,
how long could this stock be obtain
ed at par? Not longer than it was
first "noised about" that the first big
"melon" was to be cut. Jefferson land
will pay 100 per cent dividends every
year, properly managed.
It is still possible to secure hill lands
in this county at So an acre, purchasing
in large tracts. In small parcels they
will bring more. But whether one
pays Sc or $50 for share of Gods
grenn earth in jefferson county he
is assured Of 100 per cent dividends,
if he will but give it half the attention,
he would pay to company in which
he held stock.

One Crop Brings Enough to
Pay for Farm i'm Jefferson

The peanut is coming into it's own
in this section, because it is beginning
to be realized that the peanut is to
the "cut-over" and hill lands what al
falfa is to the "buck- shot" soils of
the bottom lands.
An instance that proves these lands
will grow in one year crops more than
the price of the land is shown by the
experience of S. c. Alexander, presi-
dent of the Merchants & Planters
bank of Pine Bluff Mr.. Alexander re-
Gently bought a small tract Of "cut-
over" pine land, paying at the rate Of
$3.50 an acre for the parcel. He
planted the tract to peanuts in May;
recently he harvested an average of
80 bushels of nuts and half ton Of
hay to the acre, sold the nuts for 70
cents per bushel, and the hay for SIS
ton. This brought the gross revenue
up to $3.50 an acre. Mr.. Alexander
estimated the cost of planting, cult
walton and harvesting, including the
price of the peas for seed, at $15 per
acre, leaving a net balance of $3.50,
or 81 an acre more than he paid for
the tract in the spring. He will SOW
a winter crop, to be cut in the spring
before the time for planting Spanish
white peanuts in May.
Besides producing a profitable
money crop, peanuts build up the soil,
and thus return the farmer addition
al revenue through enhancement in
the value of the land.

Lands in Jefferson county which will
grow in one year crops bringing as
much as the price of the land are
common. Among these are the lands
denudcd of pine timber-"cut over"
pine lands, they are commonly called
in this section. Large tracts of this
land can be purchased at the rate of
Sc and 81 an acre. Cut up in small
tracts they bring from $40 to $3.50
an acre.
The "cut-over" lands are gently
rolling, and the natural drainage is
good. Planted to peanuts they will
produce from 20 to 100 bushels an
acre, the average production being be-
ing between 30 and 40 bushels of Span
ish peanuts to the acre. Because of
the large oil content, the Spanish
white peanut is generally preferred,
and there is market here in Pine
Bluff for these, the price paid being
70 cents and up per bushel. In ad-
dition to the yield of peanuts, about
half ton of hay, worth $3.50, will
be gathered from each arce, and there
will be enough peanuts left in the
ground when the vines are pulled to
fatten couple Of big porkers.
But that isn't all the farmer will
obtain from an acre of these lands in
one year. After harvesting his peanut
crop, the wide-awake man will plant
the land to rye, oats or some other
winter crop, which will net about SIS
an acre more.

200 ACRE PLANT
BRINGS $40, 600

Texarkana, October I'D. c. Welty
agricultural commissioner of the Iron
Mountain railroad, has purchased the
Carmichael dairy farm Of 200 acres
just south of the city, for $4,000.
There is a $4,000 barn on the palce.
and it is otherwise equipped with
everything that is needed on a dairy
farm.
Mr.. Welty has engaged a man who
is thoroughly familiar with all de-
tails of the dairying business, who will
manage the place. Mr.. Welty will
own the farm, but it will in no way
interfere with his duties as agricultur-
al commissioner.

Valuable Lands of Jefferson
Not Sufficiently Utilized

laid last forever, and the soil over
tGem becomes the most productive in
the field, without the disadvantages
Of the ugly open ditch banks.
Thrift on the Farm.
We feed the richest feed COTTON
seed meaD to our cattle that thu
market affords. But because ii is
cheap we feed it without hay or sill
age. Cotton seed meal is a concen-
trate protein feed and both bulk and
carbohydrates need to be added to en-
able US to get the full value of the
meal. But we feed our COWS "meat
without bread instead of growing the
hay and silage to balance the ration.
The manure produced is worth $40
per ton of meal fed, but we allow this
part of the profit to be washed away
or trampled into the mud of a feed
lot. One man told me it was TOO
much trouble to spread it on the land
But it makes the finest fertilizer in
he world for our crops. Manure
shells will have to come if we want
real thrift.
Two years ago | filled The first cat
tie dipping vat with arsenical solu-
ton, marking the beginning of tick
eradication for Jefferson county. To-
day we have about 20 watts, and need
10 more to clear the county of the
tick next year. 1t is costing us about
100000 to keep the ticks this year.
Are they worth it? 1t will cost US
about two per cent of the loss to rid
us of the pest forever, and we can
do it in one year.
All Crops May BE Grown.
There is no land that will produce
more or better truck and small fruits
than ours. | have said that the pro-
duction is limited only the demand.
We can grow anything in his line We
wan to grow, though we will have to
cooperate to secure profitable mar
kets before the truck business will
ever be the source Of profit that it
should be. This is service We will
have to perform for ourselves for
nobody else can do this for us and it
is a waste OF breath to talk of any
one else organizing the truck
growers. When we realize that it
means the difference between making
money and losing it perhaps we will
get together.
The foregoing is offered in the nope
that it will be of benefit in calling at
tention to a few conditions that are
causing enormous losses and to re-
mind each man that it is in forging
ahead of the average that real sue
cess comes. Just so long as we are
content to farm as we'll as the aver
age, just so long will we be just an
average poor farmer.
Trusting that these remarks will
result in farmers taking stock and
strengthening the lines against the
common enemy, failure, and assuring
all that 7, as a. representative of the
