Among the Farmers

Hope. en route to Little Rock where tke young lady will study to be a nurse. Friend Taylor was a citizen of Brinkley back in the sos, in fact he and his good wife were married in Brinkley by the late ' H.. Howard, Brinkley's first preach CT. Friend Taylor is one of those progressive farmers who has made good. He is said to have one of the prettiest and finest farms in Woodruff county. He wants roads real roads the kind that cost money but ] the kind that last and I'm guess ing that ere long there will be a bond issue and some real roads near him.
 MT. and Mrs. A. N. Ward of The Big Cedar Farm near Zent. were trading with ARGUS adver- tisers last Saturday. I'm guess ing that if these clever farmers had an opportunity they would vote a tax of 10 or 15 cts. per acre on the Big Cedar Farm in order to have a road to Brinkley that they could come in on, in 35 or 40 minutes and bring wagon load at the same time.
 J. Coleman Palmer of the Palmer Farms, was en route home Sunday from the Stock | & Swine Show in Little Rock. He says it was a great success. He was 9 purchaser,
 J. R. Craig, a farmer living east of Brinkley. is another one of the many new subscribers to the ARGUS.
 w. M. Dunn, successful col ored farmer living north of town on the Stimson Farm, who has the distinction of having com piled with the Government re- quest to do Fall blowing is a new subscriber to the ARGUS. l have noticed Dunn's farm work and watched with interest the thorough way he plowed u) his farm before Christmas. He will get good pay for his work. As you ride by his place, watch it.
 J. H. Miley of Allendale. W ho bought the Rich place on the northern suburbs of Brinkley, is moving up this week prepara- tory to making the farm famous for the Miley yams.
 T. l.. Pledger. one of those clever and successful Cypress Ridge farmers and merchants, was in Brinkley Tuesday hauling out provisions for his store. He said he came and would go back by the bottom road '' Said he: Tn fact the bottom road is the only one to be used now and sometimes you can hardly find IT." I called Friend Pledger's attention to the urgent appeal now being made to the farmers by the Government to build per- manent roads. The Government will appropriate 998 million dol lars to be used in building per- manent roads this year alone and the farmers of Monroe county are asked to organize taxing dis tricts to build roads, they asked our people to allow the Govern ment to send U. s. Engineers here to make the surveys. figure the costs and supervise road con- struction, and in addition to this will pledge the gift of so many thousand dollars per mile for every nile of permanent post road that will be constructed in Monroe county. I wish that Friend Pledger and the commit nity leaders thro' out the county could but realize the wonderful opportunity now open to the

Fur manufacturers and merchants
alike seem to be sure OF the prosperity
of the country II the lavish manner In
which furs have beeen used Is a cri-
terion of their belief. Orders for furs
have been so large that manufacturers
have had difficulty filling orders
From all over the country comes a
similar story. and that Is that furriers
and merchants are trying to interest
women in the better quality of furs and
evidently are getting a better return

Allies Have Advantage in SILK.

The worlds supply Of raw silk and silk
waste is drawn mainly from the coun-
tries OF the Allies-Japan. Italy. France
and China. This Is a noteworthy fact
pointed out by the British Board of
Trades Commission In its report to Par
lament in regard to the. textile trade in
the British Empire.
certain amount OF raw silk and silk
waste ~ produced in enemy countries.
notably in the Ottoman domnions. Hun
gary and Bulgaria, but the total quantity
does not in normal times exceed about
per cent. OF the worlds production and
Is not nearly sufficient to meet the needs
OF the German silk industry alone.
While the supply Of raw silk and silk
waste keeps pace with the continually
increasing worlds consumption, the COM
mission recommends the development
under efficient direction OF sericulture in
India and its stimulation and encourage
ment in those parts OF the empire where
climatic and labor conditions are favor
able.
