WHY ARKANSAS SHOULD GROW
 MORE FEED

The feed and fertilizer division of the State Department of Mines, Man ufactures and Agriculture made re- port last month of the total amount of feed recorded, that had been sold in Arkansas during the year ending January 1, 1920
 The total in tons was 283, ,000 or 556,000,000 pounds This represents 5,660,000 one hundred pound sacks, which average price of s per sack amounts to $16,980,000.
 This IS an enormous amount for Arkansas farmers to be paying farm CTS in other states for product1 that can be grown at home. This amount of nearly seventeen million dollars should be conserved, and could be, if the farmers will get away from the one-crop system and grow their own feed. Such an outpouring of Arkan- sas money into the coffers of other states surely illustrates a reason why Arkansas farmers should grow more feed. Enter the campaign in your community with the determination to contribute your portion toward pro- ducing your own stock feed.

the situation unless the whole coun- try. all business and labor, recognize this as a common problem, declares Mir. Meredith; for unless the farmer has fair compensation, more of the older men will become discouraged with farming and more and more will the young men leave the farm or avoid it.
 In conclusion the Secretary urges the necessity of cheaper distribution and transportation; upholds the Fed eral Loan Banks and condemns the selfish interests which attack them. Summed up, Secretary Meredith promises the nation square deal" in the cost of living if all other in- terests will coordinate their services with that of the farmer, giving the latter square deal" and making farnifng sufficiently profitable and a atfactive to increase the number of f timers and farm production.

AGRICULTURE BACK OF
 EVERYTHING

Speaking of the particular crop that the farmer grows for his great est profits it is usually referred to as his money crop" 1t is wise farm CT who grows, along with his diver sified crops money crop" Like wise, all agriculture together is the money crop" of the state. And it is a wise citizen who recognizes the fact, whether he be a farmer or a business man.
 Never before have the banks and trust companies of Arkansas held such volume of deposits. Where did it come from? Agriculture. Never before did the state have more fine buildings, skyscrapers, public buildings, fine residences, churches and schools What built them !? Agriculture. What purchased the thousands of automobiles, trucks, trae- tors, other vehicles and a thousand kinds of machinery being used in the state? Agriculture. What built the railroads and street ear lines? Agri- culture In fact what is the founda- tion of Arkansas progress? Agri- culture.
 Making all due allowance to other productive resources, agriculture will be conceded to be the money crop of the state; therefore, it is to the in- terest of every citizen to "cultivate' this crop-Agriculture-in the most intensified manner.

ARKANSAS APPLES BEST

Chas. S. Bouton, of the Arkansas Cooperative Crop Reporting Service, reports to Jim c. Ferguson, Commis- sioner of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture, that he received letter from Memphis dealers in which they state that apples from northwest Ark ansas were the best, best packed, came in the best condition, held up the best and gave their customers the best satisfaction of any apples com ing to that city. This is certainly high compliment for Arkansas ap- pies, for many other states fruits go to Memphis markets.

PLANT MORE IRISH POTATOES

Arkansas should produce more Irish potatoes. This comes home to the people very foreibly every winter and spring when they have to pay exor- bitant prices for this product import ed from other states. At this time, mingled with other features of the high cost of living, the potatoes from other states are almost out of reach of the average consumer owing to ex- tremely high prices. And, the pros- poets are that seed potatoes are going to be hard to get at any price within reason at planting time. This can be avoided in future years if fermers and gardeners will grow the vegetable more extensively. Under proper fer tilization Arkansas produces excellent potatoes in prolific quantities. There is no better all around potato than the Irish Cobbler. If possible farm CTS and gardeners should contract now their seed potatoes by earrot, ana grow an abundance to supply home markets and produce more seed next year. Let Arkansas feed herself Irish potatoes.

George Eliot the Law Preacher.

A novelist who bases his art OF,
clean-cut ethical formulas Is bound
to wane ia popularity. For special
reasons, he may make strong appeal
to his own generation and yet be neg.
lected by the generation succeeding.
George Eliot was the eloquent lay
preacher of her age. Literary sermons
like hers are now out of date Readers
do not care to be told what will hap
pen If they do not do this or If they
do that. Similarly Thomas Hardy is
certain to. suffer in fame. The kind of
philosophlc determination embodied in
his novels Is disappearing. If Hardy
and George Eliot long survive, it will
be in spite of their moral formulas;
1t will be because readers will be will
ing to overlook moral formulas on &C.
count of the permanently interesting
phases of life presented by master
hand in their novels. Herein lies the
final test of literary immortality. There
is no question about novels like "Tom
Jones" and "Va1ity Fair" which are
not framed on any precise technical
theory. They are life itself and its
diffused neutrality-suspicious. Cross. in

In the twentieth century, according
to the report of forward movement
survey, there are approximately 100
million people in Africa held in abject
fear through TIE hundreds of thou
sands of witch doctors who alone are
believed to have the power of spell
ing out" the evil spirits. The theory Of
the African native regarding disease
Is that an enemy casts a spell which
enters the body and 1t must either be
spelled out or cast out and this is
accomplished by the use Of charms
which often kill before they have the
opportunity of proving their curative
powers. The natives of South Africa,
the survey finds, depend entirely on
witch doctors and herb doctors. For
8h million native people there are
only twenty-thpee missionary doctors
and nineteen nurses. Scattered among
the millions, this little band of work.
ers accomplishes wonders. But the
sway of the witch doctors is practically
unaffected.
