only one more bale of hay. will not buy as much corn, will not buy nearly so much lard, will not buy as much salt pork, nor as much bacon, very little more ham, only few more eggs sand little more butter. only a few more sweet and Irish potatoes. On the av- craze. considering all farm products entering into the ordinary expenses of the one crop cotton farm, the pur- chasing power of cotton is no greater today at BOG per pound than in 1911 at 12c.
 If the progressive farmers of the South protited by producing their own food and feed previous to 1914, why could they not prosper under present conditions by observing the same farm system?
 In producing our own food and feed supplies in Arkansas we can reasona- bly say that we are not sacrificing in money. On the contrary, we can say that We are rendering patriotic ser vice.
 Grow Food and Feed or You May Not
 Get 1t.
 Mr McAdoo, Director General of the Railroads, says for us to grow it. that if we do not grow it We may be unable to get it.
 May every cotton grower in Arkan- sas sign the food production pledge and receive his homer card to display, testifying to the fact that as patriot tc citizen he recognizes his duty to his Government, his duty to himself and family and the best principles of good business management as ap- piled to his farm.

KEEP A FEW HENS--ADVANTA
 OF HOME POULTRY.

Everyone should keep a small flock of laying hens whether on town or village lot, or in city back yard" says H. B. Lansden, Poultry Husband man. Extension Division, University of Arkansas. Tt Is true that the value of the product from each fiocK is small, but the aggregate is large and will help considerably in the pres ent crisis. A small flock of hens, even as few as six, should produce eggs enough for family of four or five persons and by the preservation of surplus eggs produced during the spring and early summer the usual De- riod Of scarcity can be provided for
 Remember, such flock will pro. duce eggs and fowls for the table at little cost by utilizing as feed all ta- ble scraps and other waste products, such as beet tops, turnip tops, carrot tops, potato parings. onion tops, etc, which will be relished by the hens Never feed them mouldy cake or bread or throw dish water in their pail.

...OAE PRODUCTION
 IF FQO] |S URGED
CAN THE ARKANSAS FARMER PRODUCE ALL COTTON
 PROFtTA1LYf

By ". c. Lasseter Director Agricul-
 of Arkansas.
 For many years the agricultural agencies of the South have urged the home production of food and feed supplies. The reason given was that such system added to the profits of the farm. We have scattered through out Arkansas and throughout the South inEumerable progressive farm CTS who are living examples of the correctness of this teaching. These men have grown their home supplies of food and feed and have produced cottcn as cash crop. These men have pros pered and today are owners of unmortgaged farms.
 However, the question has been raised as to the effect of the high price of cotton upon the profits under a system of this kind Many farmers today believe that they can better af- ford 10 grow cotton and purchase their supplies Of food and feed that are used while the cotton crop Is being produced.
 All Cot ~on Will Not Pay.
 It is true that with cotton at 39c per pound many farmers Of the state VII be able temporarily to make bet ter profits through adherence to cot ton as one crop. However, these same men will be surprised when they come 10 reckon with the costs of feed Cotton is worth olly that which il will buy. If cotton at BOG per pound will buy TO more in the way of food ard feed than it would at 12c per pound, then in reality if Is worth no more. Careful comparison Of the re- tail equivalent values of cotton In July, 1914, and under present condi- tons show that on the average the purchasing power of cotton today is practically no greater in food and feed supplies than it was before July, 1914. Previous to July. 1914. the av- craze for cotton might well be said to be 12c per pound or $6Q per bale. With recent prevailing prices it is worth BOG per pound or $150 per bale. Yet a bale of cotton today will buy

level of life. generally recognized as
distinctly American.
The evolution to this end was un-
mistakable rapid.
In the midst of the popular cry
however. of democracy for all the
world. we here in America under the
slogan of WAR Necessity" are now
rushing at most dangerous speed to-
ward autocracy.
The ideal balance we were steadily
approaching has suddenly given way
to the popular idea of Bolshevism
born of Russian despotism.
1t is well to bear in mind that au-
tocracy exists the moment any coun-
try is controlled wholly by the 'high-
er ups" or wholly by the lower
downs"
Sudden transition from either one
to the other is revolutionary and an
archistic.
The great question for the Ameri-
can people to decide is whether we
shall continue the sound course which
has given our national success the
American brand, or are we about to
revert to medieval procedure, when
the state will completely obliterate
American initiative and American in
vidualism.-Denver News.

AMONG EXHIBITORS

r. s. Gound, of the Breckenridge
district, is producing some fine water
melons this season on unirrigated
lands, and one of them on display
at this office proves that he is grow
ing choice melons. Mr.. Gound's
ranch il IA miles north and miles
west of Ordway.
j. C. Martin, of the Peak View
district, has grown good milo maize,
cane and kaffir, and he gives fall
plowing the credit for a good deal of
its success. Mr.. Martin stated that
the lack OF rains made it wonder
to him that any plant could grow
and to be able to produce good seed
heads made it a further wonder to
him. The samples or this grain he
has had on display at this office show
well filled heads and plump seeds
Fall plowing will save the day in
Mr. Martins estimation and his fall
plowing has proved it. He urges
that deep fall plowing should be done
wherever it is possible.
A pink Nmeated melon from the
Thomas Fountain field is on display
at this office which has the record for
bigness. 1t is 23 inches in diameter
the round way, anc 2S1a inches in
diameter the long way. The melon
would serve a half dozen people for
breakfast or whole sewing bee at
an afternoon gathering
]. G. Weimer estimates that he will
raise ton and a nalf of potatoes
from a fourth of an acre patch which
he has at his ranch about three miles
west of town. Some of the potatoes
are on display at this office. He
irrigated them but twice, the first
time not until the vines were full
grown and potatoes setting on. Too
much water will not grow potatoes.
1t is almost a case 'of the less the
better.
