BIG MAP TELLS ALL ABOUT
 STATE
Commissioner Ferguson Will Distri- bute Fifty Thousand Copies To
 Citizens and Homeseekers

By far the most elaborate and com plete map of Arkansas that has yet been published has been prepared un- der the direction of Jim c. Ferguson, Commissioner of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture, and is being distri- buted to prospective homeseekers, in- vestors and citizens of the state. This map is printed in three colors on a sheet 32x44 inches. The county out lines are shown in red and the govern ment forest reserve in green, The scale is such that permits the showing of township lines, streams, railroads and practically every postoffice in the state. Thirty-four marginal maps show the location of minerals, the types of soil, the different topograph- ical features, the distribution of tim Der, the boundaries of congressional districts and average rainfall and tenn perature charts. Among the impor- tant features is geological map, the first complete one of it's kind publish ed by the state. There also are maps showing the areas in cultivation in the different counties, the distribution of field crops and fruit and the number of head of live stock, these maps hav- ing been compiled from reports gath cred by the cooperative state and Federal bureau of crop estimates.
 On the reverse side of the map sheet are terse descriptions of each county in the state with representative pho tographs, seventy-five in all, intended to give the stranger an idea how each particular section of the state appears to the eye. Washington county IS represented by a picture of an apple orchard, Arkansas county by view of two big rice mills, Mississippi coun- ty a scene from one of the large river plantations, Crawford county by a view of one of her gas wells and the more remote counties by attractive landscape and agricultural pictures, all of which show Arkansas attrac- tions to splendid advantage.
 Fifty thousand copies of this map will be distributed to citizens ot the state, homeseekers and investors to acquaint them with Arkansas geogra- phy, natural resources and climate, and the map will be extensively used by the immigration division of the State Bureau of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture, in connection with other literature intended to answer the many inquiries received by Com missioner Ferguson from prospective homeseekers and investors.

If it were not so pathetic it would be amusing to see the number of can didates aspiring for the office of Gov ernor of Arkansas. It Is true that the people of Arkansas are the best people in the world, but they can elect only one man for Governor. It Is also true that the various commissions formed under recent administrations can get a number of politicians on the State pay roll, but the people of Ar

These permits will only be issued upon receipt of affadavits which show that the products origina- ted outside of the states of Louisi- ana and Texas, Mir. Becker says. Farmers should cooperate with the State Plant Board in every way as the Pink Boil Worm, once establish ed, would be particularly ruinous to the cotton industry in Arkansas.
