PROFIT AND NUMBER OF ACRES

The size of business often has much to do toward making the farm profitable. Farm management rec ords show that farms are often ether too small or too large for the most successful farming. There may be too few as well as too many acres. 4 man may not have enough land or he may be land poor" thereby ren- terng all his acres unprofitable.
 About 30 years ago a Wisconsin farmer with large family was deep y in debt His farm consisted of 120 sues, half of which was under the blow. The remainder was woodland and expensive to clear For 12 years the farmer had not been quite able to meet his interest. To him the whole farm consisted of unprofitable acres. He finally decided that the farm was loo small for the most efficient use Of the labor available Having an opportunity. he bought an adjoining SO acres of cleared land, going in debt the full amount of the purchase price. From that time on the farm vas prosperous, and in 10 years the entire farm was paid for and enough additional money saved to build a good house and barn. During this period there had been no great change D prices of farm products. \he mailer farm had been unprofitahle kcause the overhead expenses were 100 high for so small business. In 'Als ease acres were made profitable W increasing their number.
 In the early nineties a North Da- Aola farmer owned quarter sections U land. His farm was quite heavily mOrigaged and for a number of years ne had not been able to pay interest iull His family was small and lOf most of the work he had to depend VI hlred help. He concluded that unGer the circumstances he was working, or trying to work, too many acres. Finally he sold a quar- yer section and paid his debts. Seven years later he had $5,000 in the bank. increased prices of farm products dur as 'nls period only account in part '0' this farmers increased prosper !" In this case all the acres had Yeen unproftable largely because ~ aere Were too many of them.-J. C.. NVDowell, in 1915 Yearbook.

Little Rock, June 14.-The Little Rock Press Club, after a dormant year, is branching out and will within a few months entertain its guests in a club house of it's own.
 Negotiations are now pending by which the Club. if the newspaper mems offer is accepted, will lease a large brick dwelling in the down town district which will be con- verted into club house. The upper floors will be converted into bedrooms, with the reception rooms on the lower floor.
 There are only about 40 members of the Little Rock Press Club, but this club makes up in energy what it lacks in numbers, and the members are not afraid to tackle such an ex- pensive proposition without outside assistance.

VIOLENCE OF
 ATTACKS LESSENED
According to Reports From All Theatres Troops Apparently Taking Breathing Spell Now French Take Trenches.

London, Aug. 2.-The armies in the three great centers of recent ac- tivity-the Somme of France, Russia and Galicia-evidently have let up considerably in the violent fighting in which they have engaged and are in dulging in a breathing spell prepara- tory to further attacks. The official statements dealing with the opera tions in these three theatres, Wednes- day tell of no single important en- gagement nor any notable changes in position.
 Attacking in echelon on a three mile line from the Mouse river to Fleury, north of Verdun, the French have captured several German trenches and organized points of support. In the engagement six hundred Germans were made prisoner and ten machine guns captured.
 On the Russian front, Petrograd re- ports merely artillery duels and in- fantry attacks on the Stokhod and Turia river fronts and of local Aus trian offensive on the Stripa river in Galicia, all of which were repulsed. Attacks by the Austrians against the italians at various points including Monte Cimone, Monte Feluggio and Castellatto, have been repulsed with heavy losses, according to Rome. The Russians are keeping up their advance against the Turks in the Cau- casus region. The Germans have car ried out another air raid on the east ern counties of England, the third during the week

BORLAND AGAIN
 ON PACKERS
Missouri Representative Vig0r- Ously Demanding That ResO- lutiOn Long Pending be Acted On-Wants Investigation.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Representa- tive Borland of Missouri, renewed his charges of a beef trust in the house today and demanded action on his resolution proposing an investigation of meat prices by the federal trade commission. He declared the packers were dividing enormous dividends while they charged consumers war prices and had tried to stihe the pro- posal for an inquiry because they feared publicity.
 The Borland resolution he pointed out now has been before the judiciary committee for six months during which livestock prices have been going steadily upward. "The same power which could put down the cattle mar ket in 1915 and put it up while this resolution was pending could put it down again if the resolution were de- feated," he said The packers now own or control nearly everything that is valuable in connection with the livestock business. Not only are they the sole buyers of the farmers cattle but they also control facilities for getting these cattle on the market.
 The packers began country wide propaganda among the cattle raisers to secure letters and telegrams to members of congress opposing the in vestigation resolution. They feel that the white light of publicity is the principal weapon for the correction of economic wrongs. They expect to gain public conferences by stifing a public investigation. They may find the result is exactly the opposite.

COMMITTEE FOR
 PEACE IN SESSION
National Body to Procure Hon. orable Peace For Germany Met in Forty Cities-Citing Essentials.

Rorlin Aug. 2.-The announced meetings of the national committee for securing an honorable peace were hold in about forty of the largest cities of Germany last night but at none of the meetings did the moder- ates give any precise statement con corning the conditions of peace as the moderates would like to see.
 The speakers usually dwelt on gen praHties rarely going beyond the cbancellor's declaration with regard to peace.
 Professor Harnack was a speaker at the Berlin meeting in the great philharmonic hall. He made no sur nrising statements regarding the aims of the war which he specified as the trusting back of Russia from eastern Europe where she was an intruder to the east where she had her mission, and termination of the situation on the west where England was the con- trolling ruler of the sea and Belgium her vassal,
 Professor Harnack warned his au- ditors against expecting or demand ing too much from the results of the war as Germany must remember the lot of her confederates as well as her own success. He appealed to his hear CTS to have confidence in the admins raton which he said had done its utmost to prevent the war and the l attitude which towards certain neu-
 trals history would some day justify

 Total From All Points.
1853

The above figures were furnished by Agricultural Agent Watson, of the Prescott X Northwestern road. Mir. Watson states that with the exception of a few more cars during the re- mainder of this week that the move ment practically closed last night. It is stated that the cantaloupes from Blevins may reach a total of 100 cars.
 The following concerning the Bert Johnson orchard at Highland is clipped from the Commercial Appeal of last Sunday:
 At Highland is located the largest peach orchard in the world, covering more than 4,0O0 acres, and the 1916 crop was in excess of 700 carloads. To handle this enormous yield of FL berta peaches it was first necessary to order and have built 150,000 bushel baskets. This order was placed in Jonesboro, this state, and to deliver this trainload of baskets the services of the Memphis, Dallas X Gulf Rail way. the Iron Mountain Railway and the Frisco Lines were necessary be- fore they were delivered to the Pres colt & Northwestern line for carrying to Highland, one of the live towns at it's western terminus.
 And these same roads, with the Rock Island and Illinois Central add ed. hauled the hundreds of carloads of peaches for delivery to the wholesale buyers in the east, west and north, Memphis being one of the chief dis tributing points.
 The Highland crop was in excess Of 2S0 OOO bushels, with an estimated value of half million dollars.
 Orchard Like City.
 It is worth a visit to the Highland orchard. which is in Pike county, the only county in the United States where diamonds have been found, when the picking season begins. The orchard is laid out like a city, with numbered streets, through which the pickers travel and work with a regu- llarity that surpasses the work of a crew of canvassers for a city direc- tory. Each force of pickers must con- fine their picking to designated streets and expert packers carefully watch them.
 During the picking season Highland is appropriately known as "The White City," with hundreds of small tents dotting the acres and providing sleep ing places for the 5000 pickers. De partment heads maintain perfect or
