THE LAST CALL

August 27th a wheat meeting was f held at the court house and the inn portance of wheat growing empha- sized. Before the adjournment of the. meeting an opportunity was given to put in orders for seed wheat, oats and rye. As result 528 bushels of wheat, i 325 bushels of oats and 27 bushels of rye were subscribed. The Banks were represented and proposed to pay for the wheat when it came draft attached to bill of lading, if proper security was given. The farmers selected J. U. Brown, w. D. Mitchell, w. Y. Ed wards, J. N Spoonamore and P. Felts as a purchasing committee. The or der was placed with Philadelphia Mill ing Go. and filled by them, the com nittee giving a note for S2,000 as security to the First State Bank. The wheat has been here several weeks and at the present time little over 200 bushels is still on hand. If there are those who did not subscribe but want wheat we would be glad for them to send in at once and get what they need, as the committee wishes to take up the note.
 Every man who subscribed ought to feel honor-bound to take what he or dered as it will possibly mean consid- erable loss to this committee if they do not. As farming class we need to have more cooperative "stick-to-it- edness" if we hope to hold our place with other progressive activities.
 Arkansas has been asked to increase her wheat acreage 37 per cent this year in the face of the possibility of our not being able to secure flour from the northern and western markets next year because of the great amount that will be needed to feed the Ameri- can army and that of the allies be- sides the great amount that will be sent to the bottom of the ocean by Germany's submarines. We are going to furnish wheat either by growing it or possibly doing without it. Which will you risk?
 Let us remember that we are at war and need to play safe. Come and get your wheat.
 1 Yours very truly, 1 M. C. FERGUSON,
 County Agent.
