Don't Worry.

When things go contrary, as often they do,
And fortune seems burdened with spite,
Don't give way to grieving all dismal and
blue
That never set anything right,
But chcerfully face what the day may
reveal,
Make the best of whatever befall.
Since the more that you worry the worse
you must feel,
Why waste time in worry at all?
We all have our troubles some more and
some less,
And this is the knowledge we gain
It's work and a brave heart that tighten
the stress
OF life's share of sorrow and pain.
Then face with this knowledge Fate's
cruelest deal,
Too plucky to faint or to fall
Since the more that you worry the worse
you must feel,
Is ii wisdom to worry at all?

ADVOCATES PEANUTS
AS PROFITABLE CROP
ISTATE AGENT WATSON SAYS
EVERY FARM SHOULD
| GROW THEM.

Little Rock, Feb. 25.-Perhaps
there is no better side crop for the
Arkansas farmer than peanuts, and
while this is grown in many sections
of the state it should be more univer-
sally recognized as hay, forage and
grain crop, is the opinion of c. w.
Watson, of the State Federal Exten-
sion Service. The record shows that
the whole plant compares favorably
lwith alfalfa in protein, higher in car
bohydrates than clover and higher
percentage in fat than cotton seed
meal The soil that is best suited to
the peanut is one of sandy, loamy
nature, preferably light or grayish
in color rather than dark, and in fact
any we'll drained soil will produce
the Spanish variety
Mr.. Watson insists that no farmer
should undertake to grow hogs with
out having peanuts as part of his
feed crop. The peanut is especially
good for fattening and where hogs
are finished on corn to harden the
meat, it is considered an economical
food. Many farmers plant peanuts
between the rows of corn in a small
field and then let the hogs gather
both crops, thus balancing their own
ration. AS a commercial crop the
peanut is valuable, but at a general
rule the better plan would be to plant
adjoining the hog pasture or in the
corn and let the hogs do their own
gathering. The vines may be taken
off for hay prior to turning in the
hogs.
The peanut vines after the removal
of all the first class peanuts, says Mr.
Watson, have feeding value practi-
cally equal to the cost of cultivating
the crop. An acre of first class pea
nuts, calculating the yield at ton
of vines worth $40 per acre and 60
bushels of peanuts worth $40 to $50
will give an income of so to $40 an
acre. The cost of growing an acre
of peanuts is estimated at $l2 to
1926, including seed and fertilizer If
it is worth that amount for CONNER
cial purposes, it will pay better for
hog feed. Mr.. Watson would urge
farmers to fill up waste patches with
peanuts this year as well as to plant
in corn or in big fields.

FALLING COTTON PRICE
Will BENEFIT SOUTH
WILL KEEP DOWN 1915 ACRE.
AGE, FARMING COMMITTEE
BELIEVES.

Little Rock, Feb. 25.-Although the
price Of middling cotton was lowered
yesterday in Little Rock to So
c'.,.'s pound, Little Rock prices still
are higher than those of Memphis
New Orleans and other southern cit
IFS. In New Orleans yesterday mid
ding was quoted at 1899 cents a
pound.
| The steady fall in the price of cot
ton, to a point lower than has been
quoted in several months, according
to local cotton men, is due to condi-
tons caused by the European war
There is a decided shortage of ships
danger of loss in shipment by steam
er to foreign countries tends to cause
the price to go lower and the demand
for export cotton is much less than
usual.
E. J. Bodman, chairman of the Ar
kansas Profitable Farming Commit
tee, said yesterday the drop in the
price of cotton should prove bene-
fetal to Arkansas in that it will show
the farmers the improbable condi-
tions that would result from over
planting in cotton this year. The
seasons were especially favorable in
1915, Mr.. Bodman said, and because
of the bumper crops raised there is
danger of farmers this year planting
more cotton than last year, thinking
that they can plant less grain and
crops other than cotton and still have
enough for their own use.
Despite the fact that there was
an unprecedented amount of food and
feed products grown last year, mil
lions Of dollars still are being sent
out Of the state for grain and other
feed and food products Mr.. Bodman
said. after seeing the benefits of
diversification last year it would seem
improbable that any farmer would go
back to the old method of planting
cotton alone, but there is danger of
many farmers planting practically
all cotton with the expectation that
his neighbor will not raise much cot
ton but enough feed and food for the
community

COTTON ECONOMICS
BY
w. w. MORRISON

A new era has arrived in the
South. 1t vastly concerns every phase
of southern life-social, political and
economic. Since our Interpretation of
this new order of things will pro-
foundly affect our judgment of South
e1n affairs, it seems we'll to go into
a somewhat intimate study Of the
features which differentiate and dis
tinguish it.
While the prosperity in the South
is a part Of the prosperity prevailing
throughout the nation, it's basis is es-
sentially different. Elsewhere pros
perity was promoted by the war. In
the South it developed in spite of it.
1t has been the result of an evolution
which, through a series of years,
brought the people steadily increasing
wealth and steadily increasing free
dom in the use of their Judgment. Fol
lit must be remembered that the her
tage Of poverty left by the war
through the necessities it entailed
crippled the judgment of the South
ern people for many years. The mer
who are now originating and direct
ing the business and industrial poll
cies of the South have been vital
izing influence in the evolution. O1
younger generation, they are, fol
the most part, scientifically trained
