FARM NEWS.

NlSlH1ey sdIS StIdIly lHGSISoVCu III lue State highway. It is going to be a great improvement and our farmers will find it of great value to them, in many ways. A number of the farmers have automobiles and trucks and take the greater part of their farm products to Little Rock. During the winter the roads were so bad in places that many of the people could not get into town and take advant- age of the high prices of cotton. Many of the farmers are still holding cotton to get a better price.
 With the advance in prices on the things the farmers need, they think it only fair that they should have better prices for cotton.
 It really cost the farmer the pres ent price of cotton to raise it, if he bought fertilizer. By the time he buys $150 worth of fertilizer, puts in his time and labor and produces two bales of cotton he has about as the farmer said, let up whare he's gwine.'
 The wheat in this community proves that we have fine wheat land and the farmer is waking up to the fact that there is more money, less labor and greater profit in raising wheat than cotton.
 J. J. Miller has his yard sown down in clover. He planted it last August, and good good stand came up, with standing the winters cold in good shape and is at the present time very near knee high, and is in blossom. Every farmer should SOW a patch of clover for fall and winter grazing.
