MORE WEALTH FROM FARMS

What agriculture in the Southwest needs to make it more remunerative is larger focks and herds. When every farm has all the animals it will maintain economically and every man ager arranges his rotation of crops to suit the animals, then will more wealth be produced and soil fertility be stored up as the essentials for larger crops and better profits.
 The time may never come when every farm will be we'll supplied with animals. Some farmers do not wish to take the risk of the greater in vestment livestock production will e. quire. Far greater intelligence must be used in animal production than in crop growing. Some will not be pre- pared for mixed farming But our hope is that the number who will see the opportunity in livestock will in crease from year to year till a large per cent of the farmers are animal husbandmen.
 Livestock breeding and feeding re- duceS risk on account of drouth and other unfavorable conditions. Crops often fail, markets may be very poor But if one has animals and depends upon them for income, feeds may be bought when the season is very poor. The animals will some times be more profitable when feeds are scarce and thus the man who has animals and animal products in such seasons will not lose like the .armer dependent upon crops for mar.
 There is more incentive for good farming when animals are raised md feed produced for them. The need of plenty of feed, pasture and shelter will stimulate progressive methods, safe management and diligence in provision for the future Even the n-progressive grower is likely to change his methods when he begins with a few pure-bred animals.-Farm and Ranch.

CAPT. SLOAN ON
 INSPECTION TRIP
U. :. Army Officer, Assigned to Duty Arkansas Guard, De clines to Discuss Visit to Washington.

Little Rock, June i5.-Capt. A. B. Sloan, U. s. A., assigned to duty with the Arkansas National Guard, re- turned from a consultation with Army officials in Washington on Wednesday afternoon and left the same night for Jonesboro on a rather mysterious in- spection trip which will last l5 days, and in which 13 companies will be inspected
 Capt. Sloan declined to discuss any thing about his trip to Washington, and his very reluctance indicated there is much doing in army circles and that the Department wants com plete information about the Arkansas Guard, and if the inspection is satis- factory. it may be expected in the next call for troops for Mexico.
 The Jonseboro company is first to be inspected, then the Harrison, Ben tonville, Fort Smith, Paris, Darda- nelle, RusselIville, Fl Dorado, Der mott, Beebe and one or two others The fact that this Is a special inspec- tion and that several companies of the state which are complimented after all inspections for their excel lence are not included, makes those familiar with the National Guard have visions of a call that will take them to the border
 The only thing l can say about the Guard and my Washington trip" said Capt. Sloan after his return, lis that the Department will not accept any company in which the men have not signed the three year enlistment clause"
 None of the companies have signed the rolls with the provisions recently adopted by the government in them. but they have not been presently as yet to the men. Other states have signed to the man, and the Guard of fcials do not expect anything else from the Arkansas mihtiamen.

The county commissioners acknowl-

dispute with the city when e. A. Camp

amounting to s2,S4O.21 for the city's
share of delinquent tax penalties in
1914. The money is the first penalties
collected from the county by the city
for more than twenty years. Is
The penalties row began a few iaysl
after the House administration
changed the way of doing things in
the city hall and WATSON found there
was something like $4,000 due the
city for penalties on taxes collected by
the county in the last twenty years.
Matt Weightman, former county treas.
urer, and John Wright, assistant coun-.e
ty clerk, were engaged to audit the,
county books and find out the amount s
involved in the dispute. For several {
weeks there was a prospect of peace- :.
able settlement by the commissioners. !.
but when the city was ready to hold
out its hand for the money the county
fatty refused to pay.
The city filed a suit for the moneyss

Judgment The penalties received bye
WATSON were not involved in the suit i
which included only the years prior Il
