ARK KANSAS FARMERS
HAVE OPPORTUNITY
Good Judgment Now Counts
AS Much On The Farm AS
.a Hard Labor.

The farmers of Arkansas have a
good opportunity before them, and
also have greater responsibilities
than heretofore. Cotton, our staple
crop, is higher than it has been
since the sixties, just after the Civil
War All other crops are proper
ttonately high, Live stock is high
er than ever before, end the same is
true of milk, butter, eggs and chick
ems. This provides the opportunl-
ty for the farmer. The fact that all
food stuff and live stock Is high, in
creasos the responsibility Of the far
mer to himself and to his family,
He must raise his food and live
stock. 1t would be ruinous for him
to buy his food and feed stuff, and
he can have no assurance OF being
able to buy what he wants In the
way n live stock even with money
alta high price. I, a,....
The farmer has come into his own
so far as the'vdlue OF farm products
Is concerned, but he'must be a good
husbondman to make money during
these times, Goodjudement counts
as much on the farm as labor
Labor Is scarce dltiMsh'priced d'and
the farmg must not rely to any
treat extent on hired labor next
year. Much,ol the farm labor has
been drafted into the army Some
of the boys left on the farm w!ll be
called to town to I'll the places OF
the young men In town who have
been drafted, The former must
ponder over these things, All OF
this argues that the farmer should
stay close to the shore next year

TALKING ABOUT SHARP COUNTY
Lawrence Cou nty Paper Watching Ex-
aminations For Army Here.

The following article is taken
from the News, published at Hoxie:
The News editor has been watch.
Ing the examinations in Sharp coun-
ty ever since the selective draft
has been in operation. The reason
we have been so keenly concerned
about this good county is because
we are a Sharp county boy ourself
and proud of the distinction. When
Company 6. of Walnut Ridge, was
being formed seventeen boys from
Sharp county offered themselves
to the service. Sixteen of these
boys passed the local examiners
and subsequently the federal in
spection the seventeenth young
man being released because Of some
minor defect which, in a pinch,
would have been overlooked. No
other county of those represented
in this company comes near this
record Other boys from Sharp
county joined this company and not
another failed to pass the examin-
alton.
There is nor a heellhier county
in the State than Sharp. There is
not a county in the State with a
hushier manhood [ nan Sharp.
Then to think that less than 10 per
cent Of the young men who are call
ed through the OeIective draft should
pass in the examination is ridicu.
lous Other counties, Lawrence
among them, which do not have the
healthful surrou ,diDg' possessed
by SharJ sry passing more than SO

is not with the manhood of Sharp
county, nor do we believe the med
icsl examiner is excusiDg any ex-
cept for honest reasons; but some
thing is radically wrong with his
instructions or his Interpretation Of
them.
"rhe boys from Sharp ere ready
to fight, if you don't believe 1t 90 up
there and start something, Some
thing is dead wrong in Sharp or
else it should have a big roof built
