Worth Thousands to Farmers, Says Mir
 Nicholson

While the people of Arkansas are shivering and wading through the snow, they should not over look the fact that the winter blanket that covered the state is about the best thing that could have happened for the farmers of the state.
 This snow is worth thousands and thousands of dollars to the farmers of the state," said J. F. Nicholson, agriculturist of the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau, yesterday. "J should say that it is of as much benefit to the land as would be light dressing of barnyard manure.
 This cold weather would kill thousands of acres of small grains and clover were it not for the protecting blanket of snow If, ds is probable, the snow melts gradua ly, the moisture will soak into the ground slowly and be of immense benefit. Such a thor ough soaking of the ground will unlock the elements of the soil, greatly increasing the soils fer, tility.
 Food is the most important thing in the world today There is every reason to believe tLat the present snow will considera bly, increase the yield of all crops in Arkansas next summer. When you consider the situation in that light, you will see that the snow is something to rejoice over, not to grumble about. It may cause discomfort just now, but all of us can afford to bear this cheer fully when we consider the in creased production of food which we need so badly"
