More Than 10000 Acres in
Y Grant and jefferson Sold
in Small Tracts to Set
tiers on Easy Terms.

One of the principal colonization
projects in Arkansas, and one tina
has already, attained great success
is that prosecuted by E. T. Tteter {
Company. This firm, V hich is incor
porated under the law, of Arkansas
has acquired 10000 acres of cut-ovel
timber land, and has already disposed
'of more than 10000 acres in small
tracts to settlers, who have beer
given long and easy terms. Most Of
the purchasers are on their holdings
and have cleared many acres, built
homes and are in position to soon
reap in prosperity and contentment
the result of their foresight in taking
up residence in this section.
That captain of industry who causes
homes to be built AMI farms to be
carved out of the forest is benefac-
tor to his state. 1t matters not that
he eventually will profit largely in a
material sense; he is benefactor
nevertheless Such a man is E. T.
sTeter, of Indiana and Little Rock, ac-
tive member of the land investment
firm of E. 7. Teter & Company, Inc,
with offices in Little Rock and Sheri-
'sn' e co1oniJts Buy 10000 Acres.
Mr.. Teter. originally purchased
1900 acres. Later he purchased
$4,000 acres, additional, which now
give him and his company 10000
acres of cut-over land OF the~original
$4,000 acres Mr.. Teter has sold 10000
acres in small holding on long time
to settlers; many of whom are now
busy clearing their land, building
homes, and preparing to enter upon
q career of prosperity and content
ment. This means that Grant, county
is soon to become one of the most
prosperous In the state.
The terms being extended to pur-
chasers by Mr.. Teter are such that it
is an unfortunate: man indeed who can
not own and live in prosperity on one
of these farms.
"The. soil of our holdings in Grant
county," said Mr.. Teter, lis sandy
aoam with clay subsoil, the subsoil
being principally of red color 1T is
ideal soil for farming and yields most
satisfactorily all the products grown
in Arkansas or the South.
"Of the 10000 acres sold to settlers
all are located in the original 10000
acres. The purchasers bought in
tracts Of from ten acres to 240 acres.
The average is less than 100 acres.
We have sold good many 10, 20 and
4O-acre tracts"
TO Launch Advertising Compaign.
The company heretofore has 'adver-
tised this land only in a desultory
way; though now Mr.. Teter is begin

The timber is short leaf pine, OAK,

Crop returns on those farms already

are highly satisfactory. w. G.. Wick

Grant county in 1913. gives the over
age for cotton for 1913 on forty-seve
farms as S95 pounds seed cotton per
acre. which is something over half

than adverse freight rates, whether on

facturer. stocks of goods LOT tne
wholesale or retail merchant, VI ou'

BALE TO THE ACRE
ON OUR HILL LAND

Hill or upland" as it is referred
to locally, :: is not noted
among home folk for g, its
cotton producing qualities. But
that scientific methods will obtain
from this SIS and 500 land yield of
cotton SURPRISING the average yield
on bottom land, is proved by Tom
Stephens, whose farm is located on
r. F. D. route No. /.
Mr.. Stephens, by proper methods
of cultivation and seed selection, OBJ
tanned a bale to the acre. The lint
"a short staple-brought about 16
cents per pound. From the lint and
seed he will get more than 500 an
acre. - =,
There are others who have secured
as good results, among them W." 2.

No. 2. Mr.. Stone picked five bales
from five acres of upland.

was $50 pounds, the highest 1902
pounds. The total yield was 1000
bales in excess of the 1912 crop. This
| was due to enlarged acreage, as the
average yield in 1912, when drouth did
not trouble, was two-thirds of a bale
| to the acre.
Despite the drouth in 1918 the corr
yield was 26R bushels, says the dem
| onstrator's report.
Sweet Potatoes Thrive.
Sweet potatoes find ideal soil on
the company's holdings in Grant
county. In normal years, with proper
cultivation, the yield goes from 100 to
$50 bushels an acre. The Leola
Lance. published at Leola, Grant
county, recently gave the news that
D. #. Phillips, farming near Leola
harvested from one and one-half acres
375 bushels of sweet potatoes of the
Nancy Hall variety One potato OF
this crop weighed four and one-hali
pounds.
One farmer sold 1852 worth of Irish
potatoes from one acre planted in
August.
TO Develop Dairying.
AS to dairying the adaptability Of
Orkansas soil to all the legume fam
lily will in time be the means of de-
veloping important dairying in Gran,
county. Rich clover or alfalfa, ideal
climate, good railroad transportation
and never-satisfied market will
bring in the dairy herds and conse-
quently rich returns to dairymen and
farmers generally who give intelli-
gent attention to this highly remun-
eraive industry. Mr.. Vickery plans to
bring about cooperative dairying in
the county.
Another industry which will thrive
in Grant county is the breeding of
mules and horses. These animals are
in constant demand at high figures
Yet the demand is never satisfied
There are not enough mules and
horses despite the multiplying thous-
ands of automobiles, and the breeding
of draft animals will profit largely.
Poultry, Fruits and Bees.
Poultry and bees find Grant county
their natural home. The market for
poultry and for honey is acute. and
the returns to the poultry raiser and
the apiarist are large where judg-
ment and knowledge are utilized.
berries, thrive to perfection in Grant
county soil. For size and flavor the
fruit and berries of that region are
not supposed. Many orchards will
be put out during the next few years
and the acreage in strawberries viii
ever increase.
To Make Things Hum.
With this year, however, the COM
pany began assystematic plan of ad.
vertising which will eventually land
hundreds of homeseekers on it's Grant
and Jefferson county lands. NJ. Teter
will have the satisfaction of seeing
hundreds of prosperous farm homes
thereby contributing most unusual y
to the prosperity of the state, to his
purchasers and to his. company. He
truly is an industrial benefactor. and
Arkansas needs more men like him.

Freiuht Rates In and Out OF
Pine Bluff are Advantageous

ton in the matter Of freight rates
that he does not possess in many other
sections of the country.
Rates May Be Lowered.
Pine Bluff can give to it's mer-
chants and manufacturers railroad
freight rates that put the local bust
ness men on an equal nasis with their
competitors in other cities, and the
steady and consistent agitation that
is now being made for the mainte
nance of a navigable channel in the
Arkansas river thruout the year, and
which has already won liberal ap-
preparation from the federal con-
gress, promises to bring the advan-
tages of what are known as river and
rail rates." far lower than the ordi-
nary rail rates.
The rates in effect into Pine Bluff
on classes and commodities consumed
here, and the rates in effect out of
this city on the products of the farms
and mills and factories, are most fav-
orable-not that they give this city
any decided advantage over it's com
peting neighbors, as the days of such
favoritism are past-and as a result
the ldIul6I Call Sill SOOdo 70 HAL
ket, the mill man and the manufac-
turer can get his products to his con-
sumner, on a basis that is fair and
equitable, the result being that the
farmer and manufacturer, taking full
benefit of the many other advantages
to be had in this section of the state,
finds himself in excellent and most
desirable position, and without handi-
caps of any kind, to hinder the growth
and progress of business.
Low Rates Bring New Enterprises.
Within the past few months there
have come to Pine Bluff half dozen
establishments of various kinds, and
in each of these instances final decis-
ion to locate in Pine Bluff was reach
ed Immediately after a study of the
freight rates in effect in and out of
Pine Bluff had shown that this city
is possessed of most satisfactory ar
engagements in this respect. The Pine

the most active, the busiest and the
most successful in the entire country.
and it's activities under Commissioner
Taylor have resulted in great good
to the farmers and business men of
this city, as we'll as of all the sur
rounding territory which is tributary
