MORE hUGS SULD FxUM
 SOUTHWESTERN PART
Arkansas Has Shipped More Hogs Than any Other Section Of
 the State, Is Report.

Special to the News.
 Little hock, Jun 13.-Nearly one- third of the total number of co-opera- tive cars of hogs shipped out of Ark ansas this year have gone from the southwest district. To be exact. 26 cars have been shipped from 13 of the 15 counties in this district says H. F. Kapp, district agent of the agricultural extension division, University of Ark ansas. Of the 26 cars, w. Homer Pigg agent in Hampstead county leads with six cars to his credit. The counties in the southwest district are::- Polk. Montgomery, Garland, Sevier Howard, Pike, Clark, Hot Springs, Little River, Hempstead, Nevada, Ouachita, Miller, Lafayette and Columbia. Nevada, Ho- ward and Ouachita counties have no agents.
 Cooperative marketing has proved so profitable that the farmers are read lily adopting this method of selling their stock says MT. Kapp In every case the sales have been successful and the result has been that the local
 markets for hogs have been raised from five to eight cents per pound over the whole territory. In every county in the district, hogs will be bred and
 crops planted with the view of fat
 tening and marketing next fall and
 winter "One cooperative car of hogs
 from each school district in each coun- ity in Southwest Arkansas is the slo- fgan for this fall and winter says MT. 1, Kapp.
 l Since cooperative shipping has l been started, the farmers have learned [ that a fat hog is worth good deal
 more than range or razorback hog 1 it is stated. As result many of the i farmers have been fattening their hogs before putting them on the market, and some of the last cars shipped sold for lnear top market prices"
 |
 The cooperative shipments of cattle from the southwestern part of the state are just beginning says MT. Kapp l Next week one car will be shipped from Columbia county and two from l Hempstead county, and several car 1 loads will follow from other counties yet this month. The prices obtained for the cattle have not been as satis- factory as those obtained for the hogs owing to the fact that the cattle have had to go into the quarantine pens. The farmers are losing materially because they have not dipped enough to get out of quarantine points says MT. Kapp.
 County Agents Glen F. Wallace of Sevier county. and O. L. Henderson of Polk county have each assembled d carload of lambs which will be market ed comparatively within the next ten days. w H. Laney, agent in Miller. county is marketing cooperative car of Irish potatoes for his farmers.

PRIZE BABIES IN AFTER LIFE From the New York World.

 From the New York World.
 To the mass of social statistics now collected by painstaking government bureaus is to be added the record of an inquiry to determine what becomes of the babies exhibited at baby shows. It will be undertaken by the children's bureau of the department of labor. and in due course the data obtained will no doubt be tabulated and analysed and then consigned to the dusty limbo of official archives.
 Government bureaus must justify their existence, and doubtless it will advantageously supplement other re- suits of sociological investigation to have it shown just how much better a prize baby turns out, if at all. than a plain. ordinary baby. Does a larger per- centage of them become senators and judges and captains of industry and college athletes? And what proportion merely live a life of commonplace achievement?
 Would Lincoln have won a prize at a baby show? or Alexander Pope? or Nell son? or the sickly child that became Gen. Sir Charles Napier? Nature has a mysterious way of bestowing her fa- vors and it is doubtful if even a gov- ernment investigation can fathom it.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK

From the Manufacturers Record.
 From all quarters of the country the most optimistic reports regarding business conditions are continually coming in. The outlook is most en- coura ging in practically every line. The spirit of optimism is in the ar. and it is the confident belief of lead- CTS in industry and finance that an era of unprecedented prosperity is ahead.
 Even now many public and private undertakings are being crowded tc completion. There is no difficulty in financing proper improvements, and an ever-broadening market for bond issues reveals the temper of the timss. Enormous good road construction is in hand and Is being planned. work with which the entire country appears to be deeply concerned. There is dearth of dwelling houses all over the land. and vast building activities cannot be long delayed Everywhere there is Q lessening in complaints of unemploy- ment, and the prediction is freely made that before the year is out there may be an actual shortage of labor.
 Tn all this present activity and op- timism for the future the south has taken leading part. The construction department of the Manufacturers Rec ord bears testimony to this fact, for the construction news we publish each week. giving projects and undertak- ings planned and under way. has more
