A1i eooi on Cne 1arm when it comes to tne 1lrst two or three cultivations of the young crops like corn and cotton Most people have the idea that # damages the plants but with pron- CT seed bed there is no damage.
 The following data was given bv Dr. W. B. Taylor one of the foremost soil experts of the day:
 In 1880 95 per cent of the popula- tion of the United States was on the farm. At that time the per capita production of wheat was 51-2 bush els and 2 per cent of the crop was ex- ported. Today not more than 50 per cent of our population are on the farm and the per capita production of wheat is 9.4 bushels and AZ Der cent of the crop is exported. The cause of this is the use of better improved machinery on the farm such as tractors gang blows, which blow instead of scratch the surface, also
 binders and thrashers.
 The farm is a great factory, in fact the most intricate factory known. It
 must be run scientifically to be a paying proposition.
 l might call attention to sacred duty of the farmer which he does
 always fully appreciate, and that is to maintain the fertility of the land Falloted to him for use during life and to hand it down to posterity in an even greater degree of fertility than when he came into possession of it. To do this several things are neces- sary and must be done.
 First and foremost live stock must
 be handled. They must be fed bal
 anced rations to produce the maxi mum growth in the shortest time and
 as cheaply as possible. When field crops alone are produced and market ed in the raw state then the farmer lis a miner and robber Thru live stock the by products and rougher crops may be marketed for several times what they would bring in the raw state, and at the same time keep the fertility on the farm. Live stock distribute the work over a longer per- iod of time. Give another source of income should crops fail and builds |up fertility.
 It has been very truthfully said that a chain is no stronger than it's weakest link, therefore to get the greatest yields four things must nec- essarily be had, viz, SEED BED, SEED, FERTILITY, and PROPER CULTIVATION. The crop will be no better than the poorest of these four As an illustration of this Dr. Fay Tor gave the two following actual happenings.
 While visiting in Mass, he came across run down and deserted farm. He made inquiry of the owner and learned that the farm was worn out and would not produce a crop at all.
The Prescott daily news., 1920-02-11

Asking the owner what it was worth brought the reply that is was a shame to take his money for it. Dr. Taylor offered five dollars an acre which was accepted The first thing done was to blow up the place and make good seed ben then SOW in rye. When the rye was knee high it was turned under and worked down to a seed bed and sown in COW peas which Tn turn were turned under as soon as the yellow leaves began to appear. Two carloads of manure. was then ap- piled. The next Spring the place was planted in oats and corn, the former yielding 50 bushels and the latter 30 per acre.
 The other example was the grow ing of wheat where it had never grown in Louisiana. Dr. Taylor took a trac- tor and gang blow, broke the land to depth of seven inches and worked down to seed bed then sowed tine wheat with drill. A man just across the fence did the same thing except he broke his land with pair of mules Gnd walking blow and not over three inches deep at that. Both used seed frodm the same man in Tennessee. Dr. Taylor shipped carload the next spring. His yield was 25 bushels per acre and the man across the fence made dismal failure. The man across the fence did not have suffi- icient loose soil to hol denough mois- ture make crop of wheat.
 To know all this and how to put l it into practice an education along practical lines is essential. As the country schools and high schools do not give this, and very few farmers attend the Agricultural Colleges, the next best thing to do is take the best farm journals and study them careful ly, also to have farm demonstration work by capable man and use it to the fullest extent.
 i The seed situation is very critical and not half the cotton seed vii ger minate. Be sure and test your seed to see how well they gerlninate. If they do not give good strong test sell them to the oil mills and get good seed that will give a good stand of strong vigorous plants.
 Arkansas is state with naturally rich land. Thirty years ago the aver age production of lint cotton per acre was 250 pounds and today it is around 125. Thirty years ago, North Carolina with her poor soil was pro- ducing about 275 lbs. of lint cotton per acre. This past year she stood 4th in the entire United States on the value of farm crops produced. What is the cause? Live stock, bet ter implements and farming methods assisted by county agents and good farm papers.
 Respectfully submitted, FAREWELL GREESON.

aanncr by Miss Frances Clark.

INGRAM INVITES
HOMESEEKERS
BOunties of Nature and HOSpi-
tally of People Await the
Immigrant

If you are in search of home where
the fertility of the soil is the best,
where the clover yields in abundance
where fruits of every description have
the richest flavor, where the waters
are the pureSt, where nature has as
sembled the best of her resources, In
gram, Rusk county, Wisconsin, invites
you.
The soil, KEENAN, silt loan, has six
ty-seven per cent pure silt loan and
the balance fine clay and sand. This
makes a rich, mellow soil It never
packs in wet weather nor bakes in dry
weather; it responds to the warmth of
the sun. 1t is an ideal soil for farming
purposes and demonstrations have
proven it to be as good as any soil in
the world. One of the three sources on
which the wealth of the world depends
is the farm land The safest invest
ment is in land.
The climate here is ideal, cool, pleas
ant summers and mild winters.
Here you will find an abundance of
fine fruits, vegetables, pure water,
grass. and a comparative freedom from
insect pests We have good roads,
good fishing and hunting.
Ingram and vicinity offers the best
of opportunities for hOmeseekers.
Good tracts of lands of virgin soil as
well as some partly improved farm
lands are for sale at reasonable prices
and easy terms.
A pen-picture setting forth the beau
ties of nature, with it's verdant mead
Ows. it's shaded woodlands, its bah
bling brooks, it's fine farmsteads, and
last, but not least, its happy and pros
porous people, is not enough. Here can
best be seen the panorama in all its
original splendOr.
The people of Ingram and vicinity
are always pleased to welcome the
homeseeker. And, as a local poet has
said:
n good old Ingram we will stay
And never more will wander,
Until we hear the trumpet play
That calls us over YOnder.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING

One of the features of the Ameri-
 can Cotton Association, which was given special attention at the Mont gomery convention, is that of coop erative marketing. It was empha- sized in addresses by Dr. Bradford Knapp, Dean of the College of Agri- culture, J. R. Alexander, President of the Arkansas Division, Col. Thomp- son, President of the Louisiana Di- vision, and many other speakers. As result of the discussion, the Asso- ciation created a permanent commit tee on cooperative marketing of which D. s. Murph of the Federal Bu- reau of Markets, Washington, D. G., was made chairman and s. G. Rubi- now of Raleigh, N. C., secretary. Dr. Knapp was made one of the commit tee at large and Adolph Felsenthal of Camden was elected a member of the committee to represent Arkansas.
 It is proposed that a meeting be held at an early date to formulate plans to be put into effect by the American Cotton Association and the various state divisions, which will bring definite results and advantages to the individual members of the As sociation. It is probable that recom- mendations will be made for the orga- nization of cooperative associations throughout the cotton region under the auspices of the Cotton Associa- tion, which will enable the farmers through the assistance of proper warehousing, to so market their crops that they will secure the best possible
 returns for their labor and invest ment. The committee consists of
