MARKETING LESSONS FOR OUR
 MANUFACTURERS

The merchant or middleman who will consider the conditions surround ing the selling of farm products can- not fail to be convinced that the col lective marketing of these products is a necessity and as such must surely become general.
 The successful unit of farm produc- tion is small. Probably farms from POO to 400 acres are the sizes which produce most economically. But whatever may be the size of the unit possible the most successful market of most profitable farm production it Icannot have sufficient products to make ling of them individually or lndepend- ently. The products of individual farms can never be large enough in quantity to justify the best marketing ability. to command the best prices or Ito obtain the best and cheapest trans portation facilities, Cooperative mar keting is therefore an economic or business necessity Much is said by city people about the lack of business ability-lack of selling ability of the farmer. The average farmer is pro- babiy naturally just as good a sales man as the average manufacturer, banker or the head of any other city business organization, The manufac- turer and the wholesaler are able to employ expert salesmen and build up efficient sales organizations when they have sufficiently large production or do sufficiently large business to com mand the services of expert salesmen. If the business to command the ser vices of expert salesmen. If the busi ness of manufacturer is not large enough for this, he must pool his pro ducts with other manufacturers or go out of business. The small farmer must also pool his products with those of his neighDors-market them cooperatively-or suffer lessened fnan- clal returns for his labor. He must learn this important lesson from the experience of our manufacturers.
 Cooperative marketing or the col lective selling of farm products is not merely an idea or passing and pop ular fad, it is business and economic necessity and must surely come, no matter if the number of middlemen be reduced or a change in methods must be made.-The Progressive Farmer,

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
EWES PROVE TO BE GOOD
 INVESTMENT.

Returns from 100 high grade Shrop- shire ewes bought by 25 farmers of Little River county last year have al- ready come within $500 of paying for the purchase price,
 Last year county agent George M Johnston convinced several of the farmers in Little River county that they would profit by raising sheep. He went to the Kansas City market and bought 100 Shropshire ewes and distributed them among 25 farmers of the county The ewes cost $500, Their feeding has cost the farmers nothing.
 The farmers now have the ewes and 100 lambs. The lambs weigh from 75 to 90 pounds each and are worth about SIP each. The clip from the ewes ran 10 pounds each. while selling at 30 cents a pound is worth $500. The lambs and the clip from the 100 ewes are worth $1500 which almost covers the original investment.

Ii is now an assured fact that a newspaper editor will be the next president, as the candidates of the two leading parties, Harding, the Re- publican, and Cox, the Democratic, are life long newspaper men. The presl- dency has gone to men of the legal or military profession generally, Wilson was university president, but had practiced law and was student of the law. Both candidates are from the same state. which may be another coincidence This is not the first time that these two have been pitted against each other in a political campa gn. Cox defeated Harding twice for the governorship of Ohio, is still a young man, fast on his feet and veritable dynamo for doing things. This is go- ing to be some race. From printers devil to the presidency may be con- sidered some jump, but this campaign is only another proof that every child born an American IS a possible presi- dent, and that with ability and work the big rewards are beyond the reach of none.

COTTON CROP IS LOOKING MUCH
 BETTER IN THE STATE.

Little Rock, July 9,-(SpeciaD - Local showers occurred in practically all portions of the State, heavy rains in some eastern and southern portions. Brinkley and Portland reporting over four inches rainfall. Day tempera- lures were high. but night temperature rather low, the mean for the week be- ing about two degree above normal. More than the usual amount of cloud iness for the season was recorded,
 With exception or few localities where the heavy rains occurred the weather was very favorable for cotton and very good progress was made The crop is in a fairly good state of culti- yation in nearly all portions, and is in good condition except that it is late. In a few eastern and southern portions the soil remained wet so long that con siderable acreage was abandoned.
 Corn made good progressN in most portions, but it was too dry in some western localities where the corn sui fered. The weather vas favorable for curing wheat, oats and hay, and sweet potatoes and truck made good pro- gress. The heavy rains that occurred in the rice belt were very beneficial, as planters are having trouble in getting some of the fields flooded

FAIRS SHOULD EDUCATE AS WELL
 AS ABUSE.

Every county or community should annually hold fair that will give to those in attendance something more than few fleeting hours of amuse- ment Fairs have too long been look ed upon as closely akin to street car nivals, where one may go to while away a few hours of leisure or work weary people may find diversion from the monotony of everyday life.
 At many of our county fairs it has been customary to give $100 prizes to race horses and $25 prizes to cham pion beef bulls, or in other words, to spend the greater portion of the fair appropriation for amusement features and relegate the truly educational things such as stock and agricultural exhibits and judging to a position of minor importance However, such fairs do not fully measure up to their opportunity for service. as the real purpose of fair is to educate the people to the possibilities Of the sec- tion by bringing together the best pro- ducts of the land, so they may be judg- ed and the reason for their excellence explained.
 Fairs that are truly educational play a prominent part in helping along the cause of better farming, and we hope those in charge of our county and community fairs will exert themselves in making their fairs worth while- Progressive Farmer

The water power act recently en- acted by congress will place water power in the hands of the government to be leased on fifty year terms. Ark ansas has abundant water power, which in time when developed will make this a great industrial state It will conserve coal and oil and give to industrial plants and cities power and light, It is right that this great natural source of power should not pass into the hands of private cap itai. but should remain under control @nf the peoples government, private capital being at the same time pro- stected by leases. This section of Ar kansas is rich in water power. If the time ever comes, which some fear, that the gasoline supply will be exhausted we must look to soh.e other power for our motor cars, tractors, and engines, which have become so indispensable in modern business. To our minds that new power will be the electric motor and the storage battery charged at electric stations as numerous as the filling gas station today. The electric automobile Is today sn common use in the cities, and one charge is good for about 100 miles. which is easily equiv- ahant to a tank of gasoline, We have d source of power going to waste that is as eternal as the hills, and that will be here when the last oil field has been discovered and drained dry and strange 7as it may seem. 1t is the oldest known power-water power. And some of us ere still wondering what science will sievelope to take the place of gasoline and coal.

relief until l started taking Tanlac. /
