SALARIED MAN THE GOAT.

It is now matter of daily occur renee to read the announcement of the advance of some necessary of life. One grows weary of hearing the ex
 plantations made for this condition. Tire gist of all of them is the same, namely: the man with the product to sell needs the money, of thinks he does. The effect on the rest of us is the same, whether he does or not.
 The particular victim of these con ditions is the wage earner or salar- jed man. Money is valuable for what it will buy. If ones salary now will buy only half of what it did two or three years ago it is clear that tine effect has been to cut his salary in half. The man who is running business of his own can protect him. self by advancing the price of his commodity to meet the general rice in prices. The wage earner is held helpless between the upper and the neither millstones. If he secures an advance in salary it is usually of lit?- tie avail, for rarely is the increase in salary commensurate with the soar ing prices of the necessarics of life.
 Here is a problem which our gov ernment may before long have to deal
 with in some such manner as the Eu- ropean governments have already dealt with it-by recognizing it as a matter of national safety. It is deep and pressing problem, and it's solu- tiOn requires the wisest and sanest statesmanship.

I think that the farmer who does not is going to lose.
 "The communities that grow no wheat are going to be the lean coun- ties. The Arkansas farmer does not require near so much encouragement to try something new as he did few years back. He has tried the things that were recommended to him, and done well, so he is willing now to fol- low any plan that seems plausible, and the planting of more wheat is not
 only plausible, but common sense.
 Let's plant all the wheat we can."

AN OBJECT LESSON
 FOR FARMERS, FRIDAY
Demonstration of How to Prepare the Soil for Wheat and Implements
 to Be Used, Will Be Made.

Friday, Oct. 5, is the day upon which the demonstration of the agricultural implements to be used in preparing the soil for wheat, and the method to be employed in the work, will be made. The demonstration will be made at point conveni,n to the city, so that farmers from all parts of the county can reach the place with very little difficulty. The object is to have the demonstration at a point most accessible to the greatest number.
 This demonstration is in pursuance of the call to the farmer to assist ill providing ample foodstuffs for man and beast. The greatest emphasis has been placed upon the necessity of increasing the wheat acreage in Ark ansas. It has been demonstrated that wheat in Arkansas is profitable crop.
 Wheat bedding demonstrations have now been held in not less than 20 communities of the state. At the be- ginning the Arkansas Retail Hard ware Dealers association planned to have about 25, in as many counties, and scattered over as much of the state as possible. Arrangements were made with the machinery manufactur- CTS to assist, with machine as we'll as with experts, and the agricultural forces also agreed to attend and lec- ture on the different steps in wheat bedding. Then the retail hardware dealers in other sections of the state began to demand the same thing for their people, and instead of only 25 demonstrations near 100 will be made. Practically every county in Arkansas will have it's demonstration, and some counties two.
 The process of wheat bedding is de- cidedly interesting. First, the ground

FARMERS SCORE FIRST VICTORY

According to government experts the farmers of the United States will this year harvest the biggest crops in *he country's history. Hence the American farmer is congratulated on scoring the first real victory in the world war, and on laying the founda- tion for the final triumph of the al lies. We have no intention to throw cold water on this ardent forecast, nor Go we questionable correctness of the viewpoint. There is, however, a ques- tion which will not down: Why, with all this abundance, should prices be so exorbitantly high? Tine unavoid- able conclusion is that somebody is getting more than his fair share of the general prosperity. The following impressive figures and statements lend peculiar emphasis to this ques- ton:
 .There is enough food in sight to win the war-enough food in the Unit ed States to feed the world" says Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary of agri- culture. 'All of this is the result of emergency war work of the Ameri- can farmers in response to inc appeal of the president and the department of agriculture"
 According to official figures there will be harvested 3.240. 100000 bushels of corn, half a million in excess ot the average crop. There will be har- vested 462,O0O,O00 bushels of white pc tatoes, which is 10O,O00,oO0 bushels in excess of the average. To practically all other food crops except wheat the same proportion of increase will ap- ply..
 &uated by the same quality Of patriotism that moves men to the pat tie front, 6,o0O,Oo0 farmers were mob ilized at the time. America entered the war;" continued MT. Vrooman in hisyannouncement. "A million Amer ican farmers risked bankruptcy. The financial casualties have been com paratively few. It has been a re markably successful campaign, and the great majority of the army of food nroducers at the moment of victory a1e lusty and strong.
