AMONG THE FARMERS

Our old friend, Jim Wiley, the yam man, was up from AL lendale yesterday with the first offerings of the season in choice Nancy Hall" yams. He sold them very readily at a fancy price. He reports that the rain came this week at just the right time.
 The Argus would like to pub fish from Walter Dickson, the efficient superintendent of the Hunter Rice Ranch, his ideas on the possibilities and practi- cability of the tractors and it's use on the farms of this section. MT. Dickson has been in St. Louis attending the big Tractor Demonstration near that city and every farmer in this section would enjoy having him tell about the what he saw and be- lieves about tractor engines and blows on our farms. Come on with it, friend, Dickson.
 The first rain for eight weeks to visit the bottom farms west and southwest of Brinkley fell this week and the Argus man in company with Jas. s. Mitch ell and l.. K. Brown drove down in Elmo Chaney's car yesterday and took a look at MT. Chaney's and Grishams crops. MT. Cha ney has in nearly $50 acres of cotton and notwithstanding the exceptional drouth has a mag nificent cotton prospect. Many acres of MT. Chaney's crop will produce a bale of cotton to the acre while there is scarcely any of it that is not good for half a bale. A particular 55 acre crop by Mat Clay, a share crop per, which has been worked flat bed style, is good for 40 to 45 bales. The stand is perfect, the stalk is perfectly fruited reaching to the shoulders and has done no shedding but is putting on heavy new fruitage. MT. Chaney has in 100 acres of the Express cotton and expects to save the seed for planting purposes and much of it is in the "bale to an acre crop" The Greenlee plantation just to the north, is farmed by G. w. Gris- ham, who has been recognized as one of the finest cotton far mers in Monroe county, has suf- fered from the drought more decidedly than the Clancy crops. This weeks rains will help the crops of this section more than anything that has happened.
 I Eugene Skillern, the Dark ICorner farmer who owns the only herd of white face" cat tie in this territory was over from Lynchville Monday and was accompanied by Editor Griffin Smith of the Paragould Soliphone who with his family is visiting MT. Skillern at his cozy plantation home. MT. Skillern was over to have his gasoline engine repaired pre- paratory to cutting his silage. He reports crop prospect fine and has in about 300 acres of cotton.
 James Engle, the Hunter rice grower and formerly Clerk of this county was through Brink ley this week looking after po- litical fences so it is reported. It is said he is to be a candidate for railroad commissioner from this district to succeed the pres ent incumbent, T. B. Wood of Marianna.
