down the name and address of the

him that he had seer his exhibit of

for a quotation on 50 to 100 bushels,

diversified farmer replied that the
bushel exhibited at the Fair was all

was considerable dei1ation and the
purchasing power of gold, for which
the cotton was exchanged, was much
greater than it is today.
The extremely high prices of cot
ton prevailing during, and for some
years after the Civil War, caused Eng
land to make great efforts to increase
production in her own colonies and in
other tropical countries, SO that she
might in some measure be independent
of the crop of the Southern States.
These efforts have largely met with
failure and she is about as much de-
pendent today upon the American crop
as she was sixty years ago.

ahead for this city and for the terri

l have tried to point out what seems
to me to be your city's and your Sec
tons greatest asset and opportunity
and to impress the idea upon you,
because with the first serious invasion
of the weevil there always arises those
who advise the abandonment of cotton.
For this section l believe they are
false prophets.
Cotton is the great necessity and
long staple cotton, the product of your
wonderfully fertile lands, the great
luxury which will continue to bring
wealth and greater prosperity to your
city and section.

lower Delta and after close observa'
ton of agricultural conditions, my
opinion is that no crop can be grow
with a. great profit as cotton, where
it is possible to obtain a fair YIELD
to the acre.
Before the weevil reached the East
ern States they could sometimes grow
cotton proftably at a price that was
Improbable to the sections to the west
with weevil infectation, but now that
the weevil extends from Texas to the
Atlantic, all have the Same handicap,
and, therefore, equal opportunity.
! have referred to the adaptability
Of the negro to cotton culture, and to
the fact that he seems happiest when
engaged in this form Of labor. 1t is
a truism of human experience that
the more happy and contented any
laborer is, the more efficient he is.
In this connection, l want to say that
this section should keep all the labor
it can, and the happier and more con-
tented the laborers are, the easier it
will be to keep them.
The shortage Of labor in the United
States is already serious, and it will
become more acute the longer the
European wal lasts. Due to the slim
illus of the war to American business
and industries, the demand for labor
has greatly increased, while there has
been nc increase in the supply through
the usual migration from Europe, but,
on the contrary, some loss of labor
through emigration.
This has caused the employers of
in the North and Middle States
to reach out to the South for labor,
with the result that already some ne
gro labor has left. In view of this,
the wisdom and profit Of keeping our
negro labor employed in work congen-
to him and in which he is eff
cient, are evident. A sufficieney of
such labor is the greatest asset to a
cotton country. Let us all realize this
and encourage and safeguard our la
bar and give it a square deal. This
o moral duty as we'll as an economic
sxpediency. .
After the devastation and disor-
caused by the Civil War,
The South could not have SO rapidly
'egained her wealth and reestablished
her industries and economic influence

support this statement, I call attention
10 the fact that during the ten years /

a similar scale. He knew that the farmers were not using them then, and, of course, they were not buying them if they were not using them, but no telling what the farmers would do if shown the benefits they could derive by a small investment in ma- chinery. In this conjecture Joe Lyons was right He has sold many times his first order on all kinds of machin- cry, and today he is technically an expert on machinery of all kinds. Every machine sold by the Southwest ern Supply Company is first seen by MT. Lyons while it is being manufac- tured, and he follows it step by step until he sees it in the field, and when he is satisfied that it will do the work, he hires an expert to go forth and demonstrate it to the planter The result is just what MT. Lyons figured it would be when he started into bus other machinery dealers to push bit, too, and all Arkansas is deriving the benefit.
 Like many another jobber of Little Rock, Joe Lyons is 8 native Arkansan. Except few years spent away at school, he has resided in Arkansas all his life, and he is as patriotic an Ar kansan as one could find in a ten days journey. He believes steadfastly in the Arkansas Profitable Farming Cam paign, and that the future greatness of the state depends upon the methods employed by Arkansas farmers.
 Born at Augusta, just prior to the war between the States, Joe Lyons went with his mother to Louisville with his mother and older brothers, to remain until hostilities had ceased. The trip was made to the Mississippi river in an OK wagon. Mr. Lyons fath-

CT was in the Confederate Army at the time, and served throughout the war
 Returning to Arkansas at the close of the war, the Lyons family again took up it's residence at Augusta, and because there were few schools in that section. Joe Lyons was sent back to Louisville to school. It took ten days University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, so the people of Woodruff county who could afford it, sent their children to schools that were more accessible
 When Joe Lyons was IA years of age reversal of the family fortunes took him from school and he went to work in Little Rock, and has ever since been closely identified with the business irl- terests of this city. All his wealth is invested in Little Rock property and Arkansas farm lands. he owning sev- eral thousand acres of improved and timber lands. He was one of the or ganfzers of the Hotel Marion Com pany, is past president of the Con- cordia Club, director in the Bank of Commerce, and the president of the Southwestern Supply Company. which has done business of over $500, 900 in the first year of it's existence.
 Joe Lyons is pleasant to deal with. and is always ready to enter into project which will advance the inter- ests of his state. He believes in doing big things, ana the manufacturers from whom he buys his wares, state that if there were a few Joe Lyons scattered over the United States, they would be forced to sell to only a few, or to increase their capacity mani fold. Joe Lyons is a developer, and one of the kind that can always be relied upon for assistance when it comes to extending the industrial su- premacy of Arkansas.
The Pulaskian., 1916-12-22

1t is indeed rare that man enters any kind of business, especially with out previous experience in that partic- ular enterprise, and in the short space of twelve months becomes a state leader in that line. It is all the more spectacular when the business referred to is that of farm, mill and road machinery, which is sup posed to require great tecnical knowl- edge, as well as business ability Nev- ertheless, Joe Lyons, president of the Southwestern Supply Company, has done all of this. One year ago he lack ed the technical knowledge, but he had the business ability, and he had the capital and nerve to take the plunge Today he is a recognized power in the trade of Arkansas.
 The desire to upbuild Arkansas through change in it's farming meth ods first attracted Joe Lyons to the machinery business. He was an anna teur farmer in way, being interested financially in a large plantation, and making occasional trips there, where he saw the wonders to be performed by diversified, or up to date farming methods. MT. Lyons decided to de- vote the remainder of his life to en- couraging the farmers of Arkansas to go and do likewise.
 On the first of last year MT Lyons opened the doors of the Southwestern
  Supply Company with a large stock of farm, road and other machinery. He plunged in the purchase of machinery, and the way he invested in such things as cream separators caused a ripple of amusement among competi- tors who had long been in the game. Joe Lyons bought other machinery to Tighten the work on the farm, increase efficiency and better the products, on

 controlled by trusts of some kind and prices set months before they are pro duced, even sold before the seed is planted. With these things existing and the terrible high prices of all food stuffs there is nothing said about boycott on anything special except eggs, poultry and butter the most di- rect from producer to consumer of any product the farmer grows.
 A few words about the present cost of egg producing: Most all feed stuff for poultry has almost doubled in the last four years with the present prices of wheat, corn, oats, charcoal, mussel shells, sunfiower seed and everything connected with the production of eggs, while eggs have advanced in price nothing in comparison to the way the feed has. Four years ago the first of December eggs were selling for 35 cents per dozen wholesale in Little Rock, as the writer shipped some from Russellville at that time to the Little Rock market, so they were bound to be higher retail and the present price for eggs is from 40 cents to 50 cents per dozen this December.
 And as to butter, there is room for some one to throw up their hands in disgust, as feed is about 30 per cent higher than it was one year ago and 50 per cent higher three years ago with butter selling at the same prices it was then and milk selling four cents per gallon higher.
 Taking all these things into consid- eration, the producer is at the little end of the horn instead of the con sumer as the press has led people to believe. As stated. before, why not mention of boycott on some of the articles named that go through all kinds of capitalists hands, and prices governed by people that have nothing whatever to do with the production?
 Now get down to it right here in Little Rock, our home city, and many that are bowling own farms within radius of 20 miles of Little Rock. Get out and investigate the conditions of the average farmer and your tenant and see where his profits are, and ex- anime the cost of his supplies. AL right, some one will yell, "He l ought to produce all these things on the farm" We'll and good that he should, but what would some of his neighbors do that are expecting to buy some of his products at the other end of the line, for if we take it all he will have no sale for his products. This has to be, as there are people for all lines of work. I may be in the wrong in all the above, but don't see it in that light. While have only the one side to look upon I think I have taken the right view of it.
 The farmers have always been op- pressed to some extent, but they are waking up to their rights and it is not going to be a great many years until the other side will be bowling as the farmers have had to do in the past, for it is cinch that the world would not exist very long without the farmer.
