A RAIN BRINGING TRIP.

Ii was very dry at Wye and at some other places also. It looked like it never was going to rain again. The peaches were shriveling up on the trees. At least on man had cut his corn for fodder, and even water was get ting so scarce that the old cows were trying to get into my spring, so it was up to me to find and bring rain to Wye Tuesday evening, July 29, it looked like it was going to come with out my going after it. Just east of us it thundered, and I could see the rain cloud and hear the falling rain roar like fast express train, but not drop fell at Wye Thursday morning 1 got an early breakfast and walked to Bige- low On top of the mountain, beyond Jno. Tippitt's, I could see it had sprinn- led just a little After I passed Led widge on the train on or near the Hugh Moss farm, water was standing in the middle of the cotton rows. When I got to the Tenth street station in Little Rock, it was raining so hard that I had to wait at the depot awhile. Before I got to the capitol building l saw that not a drop of rain had fallen. I stopped a few minutes on Fifth street for dinner. When I got through eating it was raining so hard l took a street car for Main and Mark ham. When I got off the car it was pouring down so fast I had to stand under the awning a half hour before l could cross the street to my hotel. Sure. I had found the rains, all that was left for me to do was to carry one to Wye Friday morning l went to South Highland and took the Little Rock, Maumelle and Western Railway train for Ferndale. Speak about pas senger accommodations, some roads may have better, but none have d more accommodating General Mana ger than manager Barnett of this com pany Little Rockians are missing the opportunities of lifetime by not pat ronizing this road enough to keep a regular daily passenger train running on it. The scenery along this line is superior to anything the Rockies can offer.
 got on this train too early for din ner and got off too late for dinner. In correct society language, should have said l got on too early for lunch and got off too early for dinner, so I ate cheese and crackers. I started to ramble to the Ferndale Ranch, but just as I got to the Howell Pike it com menced to rain, so 1 ran as fast as I could to the home of J. W. Roller, where I spent a half-hour or so await ing the ending of the shower. Mir. Rol- Ter said the evening before it poured down for solid half hour, and that morning the ground in his cotton was too wet to plough.
 He was also mourning the loss oI a two hundred dollar mule. Seemingly, the mule just wanted to prove the cor rectness of the old saying, that mule never dies just by being the exception and dying. You know the exceptions are what proves the mule Moral: Elk anime your mule carefully and see that 1t is not an exception I have heard people Dragging on owning an excep- tional team of mules. If you oun such a team, you had better trade it off at once, for they are the ones which die.

on at Prothro Camp ground, which was to close Saturday. So j. A. Row land, youngest brother of my host took advantage of the opportunity and see ing that Rev. King was a good talker, got him to assist in making Miss Fife, the daughter of J W. Hufstutlar, his wife, and they were visiting with his brother. Now the Hufstutlars were the very first people to discover that the Pod man was the original rain maker. Always when he called in wet time, they would run him off, but if it were dry they brought ou their coldest and best watermelons and promised him fried chicken if he would only stay for dinner or over night. So now knew it was going to rain.
 Friday l called on a young lady whom I knew quite we'll, Miss Mamie was promptly corrected and informed that her name was Mrs Holmes and that she had been married whole week, having married Nose Holmes the Friday before. She was Miss MImie Thomas, the prettiest unmarried girl on the Big Maumelle. Both young couples have the congratulations of the Pulaskian and it's numerous read CTS, especially the latter, because the Fulaskian's readers will give them full credit for their share in breaking the drouth.
 I then proceeded on my way to the ranch. There were no new married couples there, but Jake Miller was doing double duty and r.,ore than twice his share of the work in rushing the cattle through the dipping vat If you don't believe this, ask Joe and Fred, whom Jake reused out of bed at a. m. to help with the work The boys are not hired hands either, but what difference does that make with Jake ? Ain't he going to San Saba County 1 over and doesn't his best girl live out there on Ricke, and if Jake don't bring her back with him then there will be a chance for some Arkansas girl.
 When I got there the men had just finished dinner and rushed back to the dipping Mrs. Ferguson was rushing l through her work in order to get to peeling peaches. I won her respect by assisting in the peeling Mrs. Clark, her cousin, who has been visiting there since last winter, was packing up her trunk, getting ready to return to Mis- souri, Mrs Ferguson said everybody was going to leave but her and MT. Ferguson and the cattle; later 1 learn. ed that few of the big fat steers were going on a visit to Kansas City, where they are now worth one hun dred and twenty-five dollars each. MT. Shidler. who arrived at the ranch last Wednesday, will return to his home at Pawhuska, Okla, taking with hi'l his sons, Joe and and Fred. Mrs. Fer guson's nephew will return home. Fred has been down from New York for a month and had the time of his life Both were to have visited my crystal mine with me. but failed to make con neetions Jno Moss and Adelbert Hol- brook, who went with me, have talked so much about the trip since their return, that all the boys and girls on the mountain have been mad at me for not taking them. MT. Shidler says the cattle are just as fat here as on their Oklahoma ranch, and he is more than pleased with their investment. l I left the ranch headquarters and

COFFEE MEN

BRAZILIAN COFFEE KINGS HAVE GOTTEN TOGETHER AND THEY GO CALIFORNIA FRUIT MEN
 ONE BETTER IN PRICES.

Price fixing by associations of fruit growers hase become a common thing in the United States, but price fixing for coffee is something new, as the growers never attempted :o control the market heretofore. The formation of associations in Brazil, where the greater portion of coffee is produced. is responsible for the pres ent high prices of the popular family drink.
 "The government required regular reports of the coffee we had on hand before the armistice was signed 2 states L. c. Dome, manager of the coffee department of the Plunkett. farrell Grocer Company, "and we were never allowed more than a nine ty day supply. This prevented us from buying a stock such as we would like to have had when the war closed. The armistice immediately released ships and opened a market in a god portion of Europe, which had absolutely no coffee. We found at the same time combination in as mad as she could be. She said the deer were taking her peas row by row and eating them all up and if they do not stay out she is going to take her ax and kill them.

 I walked over rocks until I wore my shoes out, also in that long step bursted one of the uppers lose from the sole, so I came into Little Rock with enough money to buy me pair of shoes.

RELATIVE VALUE OF

Recent Investigation Made by
Bureau Of Crop Estimates.
There Has Been Much Disparity, First
on One Side and Then on Other,
Between Two Movements
Farm Labor q Factor.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculturc.)
Farm land value has not advanced IN
the same degree as the composite price
OF crops and live stock has from the
beginning Of the war in 1918. Results of
recent investigation by the bureau
or crop estimates. United States
department Of agriculture, revealed
that. although farm land value alone
gained In 1918 and led In the relative
advance In 1915. II lost Its lead In 1917
and. moreover. fell far behind the
relative gain In the price Of crops
and live stock In that year and In 1918.
From 1914 to 1915 farm land value,
not including that Of buildings, in.
creased IL per cent. while the price of
crops and live stock lost 8 per cent.
In the following year land value went
up % per cent above 1914 and price
OF crops and live stock also advanced,
hut only by II per cent. A reversal
Of the RELATIVELY Of these movements
appeared In 1917. when land value
gained only 80 per cent on 1914 and
crops and live stock gained "A per cent.
The divergence increased In 1918,
since the gain above 1914 was 80 per
cent for land value and 81 per cent
for crops and live stock.
Farm land value Is supposed to be
related, at any rate largely related, to
the net profit Of farming. and In fact
It 10 often somewhat affected even by
single years Of high or scant profit. yet
the value of farm land advanced In
1915. although the price Of crops and
live stock declined, In comparison with
1914, and gained relatively much more
than price did In 1915: but. on the
other hand, its relative gain In 1911
and 1918 was far from eQualing that
of price. There has been much dis.
parity. first on one side and then on
the other. between the two movements
Of land value and produce price.
Perhaps scarcity Of farm labor
weakened the demand for farms In the
last two years. and perhaps, also. the
net profit Of farming, because Of ex.
traordinary high cost Of production,
was not as great as the high price Of
products would indicate specifically.

APPLE TIME.

The crisp, frosty days Of autumn are sure
indication that the apple season is in full swing
Those who can pick the fruit are fortunate. for
the apple fresh from the tree, at this time Of
the wear, is unrivaled in flavor and temptingly
tart and Juicy. But the privilege of gathering
apples is no longer limited to those who live in
the country, for nowadays many families who
own ears avail themselves Of the opportunity of
motoring to the suburbs, where they may either
gather generous supply from unclaimed trees.
or purchase the privilege Of picking better w.
rieties from the orchard Of some thrifty farmer.
After few Of these trips the housewife will find
that she has obtained enough apples to supply
her family with variety Of preparations for the
winters use. So many things may be done with
apples that one becomes enthusiastic at the
thought; they may be canned, dried or made into
fruit buffers and jellies. fruit strip and fruit
leather. Even the pulp which remains may be
fed to the cattle. hogs or sheep, so there is no
waste whatever in the whole process Christian
