here but that such firm was locat cd in Pine Bluff Well" the stran. ger eXcitedly remarked isn't this Pine Bluff" "No," said the other this is Stuttgart" well, I'll be durned,' said the traveller-"and Arkansas is bone dry, too.'
 The fact that Arkansas is operat ing under a "bone dry" statute does not prevent some very vile whskey from entering the state, and the con clusion is natural tha. when one mis takes Stuttgart for Pine Bluff he must have had the night before something besides sleep. However, Stuttgart is progressive little place, and there is possibility that in the course of time it really will be as big and as great as Pine Bluff is today.

GROW MORE FOOD.

Predictions that there will be yet three years of war would indicate that the problem of production of food stuffs, the solution of which America is largely expected to supply, will be even more important next year than it is this year.
 One step toward increased food pro duction is to plant larger acreage.
 Bigger acreage, larger herds. farm ing on more extensive scale--ths represents one phase of more pro- duction.
 There is, however, another phase. That phase involves not merely plant ing, but cultivation-:n other words, the handling of all varieties of crop between seed-time and harvest.
 Here. improved methods of farming will make each acre sown more pro ductive. In this direction, great increase in production is possible.
 In countries more directly af- fected, countries which have the war right on their own soil or menacing their borders, emergency has stimu- lated to a marked degree inventive genius. New capacity for organiza- tion has been developed by the pres sure of extreme necessities.
 Inventive genius and capacity for organization are distinctly Ameri- can qualities.
 Applied to the problem of more food production they should do more than merely solve the immediate problem They should leave their mark in the shape of permanently improved meth ods, upon American agriculture.

TRAVELLER FEATHERS
 STCTTG ART.

Stuttgart is all "luffed up" as a result of being mistaken for Pine Bluff by sleep travelling salesman, judging from the following, printed in the Stuttgart Free Press:
 A travelling salesman on souta- cOund Cotton Belt train Sunday night. not hearing the porter's call, gathered up his baggage and unload edsye at Stuttgart, although his des- tipation was Pine Bluff. He did not discover his mistake until after breakfast Monday morning when he started out for the days work and inquired for a certain firm. He was told that no such firm did business

WHY NOT MORE GOATS?

Thousands of acres of hill land in Arkansas are yielding practically nothing. although they could be turn ed, with comparative ease, into some of the greatest pastures in the South says Better Farming Hints," issued by the College of Agriculture of the University of Arkansas. If you wish to develop your pasture land, you might find goat raising, at least, a profitable sideline.
 Goats will eat the Scraps" or waste plant food found as crop remnants on any farm as we'll as weeds and foli- age of brush. Goats are higher pric- ed than ever before and it seems that there will be little chance of their |depreciating in value. People are fast coming to recognize their worth on the average Arkansas upland farm. There is money in this class of livestock. Why not get in on the ground floor?

THE NEW KINGDOM OF GASOLINE.

In other days the South has pro- claimed the royalty of King Cotton, and the West has vaunted the claims of King Corn; but the oil industry, as result of war developments, presents another claimant for indus trial ngship-gasoline
 Industrially, gasoline today has a use in every factory and workshop. It drives the wheels; it operates the trucks which transport the finished products. On the farm it blows cul- tivatcs and reaps. It carries farm pro- ducts to the markets. It cooks them for the table
 In the field of pleasure, gasoline propels the automobile, the yacht, the motor boat
 On the battle front it provides mo- tor fuel for the airplane, the eyes of the army. It facilitates the trans. port of munitions and supplies for myrads of fighting men. It makes possible the submarine; it drives the speedy destroyer which fights the submarine menace.
 In the life of today, gasoline is a sngularly vital factor. It has fa- cilitated the mastery of the air. A host of modern American inventions own if ac foctor fothnr
 Yet the American oil industry, the father of all oil industries the wide world over. is barely sixty years old; and during it's early twenty years gasoline was much neglected and rather despised child The world cer- tainly does move in these days.

in the field harvesting the goldsa ears.
while at every beet dump We find
huge piles Of suger beets that are
rapidly being losded into ears to be
shipped to the sugar factory. but 1t
takes q visit to the cellar. the cave,
the granary. the elevator and the
freight office records to see what has
been actually accomplished during the
past season. In the cellar We find tie
potato, where in many instances the
yield has been as high as 200 bashA
per acre and to the freight records to
find how many cars have been shipped
to the markets. In addition the eel
lar shows Us the winter supply Of
vegetables of every variety and de-
scription.
The granary, the elevator and the
freight records show US that our farms
the past season have produced wheat,
both the spring and fall variety, as
hard and as perfect wheat as ever was
grown during the wonderful wheat
days of Minnesota and Dakotas.
Oats, that for weight and feeding
qualities are not to be equaled any
where, rye, spelts and other grains
of the best quality. In a recent trip
to the country in distance of three
miles we counted twenty huge loads
of fall wheat on the way to Julesburg
for the market, nearing other towns
surrounding US we found the same
activity and yet in visiting the indi-
vidual granaries we found apparently
enough wheat to feed the nation and
it is no unusual sight to see the auto
mobile trucks running long hours
loaded with SO and Is bushels of wheat
and other grains.
We are not attempting statistics.
for an accumulation of them are dull
at the best, but we have in mind one
instance where landlord, living in
eastern Nebraska received check for
over $4,000 as his one-third share

tion of land in Sedgwick county.
Such figures at first glance. may not
mean much to some of our eastern
landlords who are holding their rent
ers up for $500 and more per acre
cash rent for their high priced lands,
but it ought to mean much to that
same renter when he finds at the end
of the year he has barely made his
living in addition to paying his rent,
and especially so when he considers
that he can buy this same productive
land at from $4,000 per acre up and
on easy terms. The eastern farmer
who is getting rental of $1,000 per
acre for his $4,000 per acre land is
getting five per cent interest on his
invested caDital. while the man whose
land cost him $500 per acre is get

lieve his own eyes at the change that
had taken place.
Today, one finds wherever he goes,
ample evidence of prosperity on every
hand. The large holdings of the
earlier days have all been divided up.
Few own sections. many half sections,
and still more own quarters where
they are not only making q living, but
are accommodating wealth. The huge
herds Of long horned, poorly bred cat
tie have given place to the smaller
herds of pure-bred poles. h e.
fords and holsteins, beef and milk
producing animals and the same is
true of horses, chickens and hogs and
in fact every thing the farmer raises.
In the place of the sod shanty and
the dug out you find the commodious
and very often the strictly modern
home; in place of the shed barn or no
barn at all you find the same class of
barns and outbuildings that one sees
in trip through eastern Nebraska,
Iowa or Illinois. No more do we find
the windmill located in the sand draws
and water hauled to the house in bar
rels, but every farm has its well drill
ed close to the buildings with an
abundance of soft water for every do
mestic use If all these changes had
been made in single season or sim
ply by few men, one might easily
believe that they had been misguided
in the expenditure of their money. but
when these improvements can be
counted by the score and when there
has been a gradual growth, and when
men have come here with practically
nothing and are today living in their
own homes, riding in their own auto
mobiles and demanding exactly the
same surroundings that their friends
in the east enjoy it simply spells
PROSPERITY.
A drive through our country district
now finds the farmers largely engaged
in husking his corn. corn that is pro-
ducing from 25 to SO bushel per acre

The remark vas made in our hear
ing once this summer that it Was the
real estate agents who were causing
the land in Sedgwick county to ad-
vance SO rapidly in price. but We hap

short time until our lands will be sell
ing at much higher prices than at
the present time and will be selling on
a par with other lands that do not
produce nearly as much. We also
happen to know that one Of the high
est prices paid this last season for
land was paid by one farmer who has
lived here all his life TO another To-
cal resident who realized, in a meas
ure at least, what our lands are real
ly worth.
In concluding this article, We want
to say that We expect that many of
our nonresident readers will say that
this is simply newspaper article
written for booster edition, and
was written accordingly. To those
especially we want to extend a most
hearty invitation to them to come and
see for themselves, We have num-
Der of reliable real estate offices here
and these men will be glad to show
you the country. If you doubt what
they show you, we have many indus
trious farmers who have made every
thing they have in Sedgwick county,
and we believe a short talk with them
will dispell any idea that what we
have writtn has been exaggerated, but
that we might have made the article
much stronger and still kept within
the bounds of the truth.
