Colored Farmers Organize
 in West End of County

Foreman. Feb. 1.-The colored farmers of the Wiley Nolen Schopl
 Community met Monday afternoon and Wganized a Farmers Community AS
 sociation with the following officers President, o. G. McClellon; vice presi- dent; M. Rolf; recording secretary, Julia Perry; assistant secretary Ernie Rolfe; treasurer, Lot Wolfe; chaplain, RObt Nero. ee1 ssF }ts \ Professor Bennett. the county agent Tor negro work ir1 Little River county, was present and gave some very sane and wholesome advice. He is the right man in the right place. He is putting forth strenous efforts to organize the entire county into community associa- tions, after which he hopes to organize county association, and from the county association we hope to send up good delegation to the state associa- ton at Pine Bluff in August. q < The object of the community, coun- ty and state association is to promote loyalty to the government and strict obedience to the law, and. to foster a friendly relation between all people, white and black, and encourage bet ter farming among negro farmers through cooperation with all public educational sources in the state; to perfect and execute plans for the im- provement of agriculture and rural life among negro people, and to en- courage and promote the holding of county and state fairs as a means of putting before the public exhibits which will show race advancement, in telligence and skill.
 The club work among the girls and boys promises a glowing success Many of the boys are beginning to pfe- pare their acre for corn and many are looking around for their pig. 4
 We are not aiming to go into the truck growing business on large scale this year but take it as side line and thereby acquaint ourselves with diversified farming and take care of our obligations by raising plenty of feed and food stuff, and cotton as a debt payihg product. Our slogan is safety first" l.
 We hold our meetings Thursday af- ternoon on the third Thursday in each month. Come one and all and help us make the meeting success.

HORATIO BEATS WILTON
Hard Fight Game etween HoratiO and
 Wilton Girls.

From Horatio Messenger.
 No Four was looked and waited for with more glee by the people of Hor- atio last Friday than any other train in the history of the younger genera tion. The train was met by the bas- ket ball girls. It was not the train that the girls were so anxious to see, but it was the Wilton basket ball girls and their coach. As soon as the Will ton girls filed off the train they were rushed to cars and were soon at the school building. It was only a short time now until the ball game was to be begun.
 At two o'clock the whistle was blown as each Wilton and Horatio girl ran to her place on the basket ball court. Each girl on both teams played fast and hard game. There were really no stars unless you might say six on the Wilton team and six on the Horatio. The Horatio guards kept the ball from Wilton girls so much that only two field goals were made Ada Hedgecock really deserves to be mem tioned as "the girl who knows where the basket is" on the Wilton team, and Leila Burk showed the same ability on the Horatio team. The final score was S1 to 6 in Horatio's favor.
 After the game both Wilton and Hor- atio tearms were served to two course refreshments by the Home Eco monies class and their teacher. The Wilton girls left on No. 3. The Hor- atio girls are glad to have a ball team like wilton's girls visit them and they welcome the Wilton girls back to their town.

Says the Credit System
 Is Ruining the Farmers

Fayetteville, Feb. 1.-The great tra gedy of the past few years in the cotton territory lies in the fact that our added wealth, coming from the in creased price of cotton, was wasted in unwise investments, and in our failure to clean the slate and get out of debt" says Dean Bradford Knapp in a bulletin, "Safe Farming for Arr kansas in 1921s' just issued by the Extension Service, College of Agricul- ture of the University of Arkansas.
 "No more difficult or disastrous year hes been lived in the South in half century than the year 1920," Dean Knapp says. "The prosperity Of our people during the years from 1916 to 1919, inclusive, and the income they derived from a fair. price for their cot ton crop, most unfortunately did not get the South out of debt nor South ern farmers out of the habit. of doing their farming on a credit basis. In fact it is probably true that the debts of farmers increased rather than de- creased during this wave of prosper ity % r..
 Tt may be safely said that about an average cotton acreage for the. South is 34,OO0,OOO. In 1916, 34,985,000 produced 11,450,OOO bales. In 1912 34,2S3,OOO acres produced 13,09S,OO0 bales. These figures show that good average acreage. Therefore, if we were to plant 34,O0O,OOO in the spring of 1921 there is strong chance that, with a good season, we would produce as much as 13,00O,OOO bales of cot ton. This together with prospec- tive large carry-over: would make low unprofitable prices for cotton for at least two more years.
 "If any big manufacturer in this cbuLtry persisted in producing auto mobiles or machinery, or steel prod uctsy or even cloth, when the price of his product was below the cost of pro- duction, there would be an immediate inquiry into his sanity, and the courts would take charge of his business and appoint receiver to settle up his af- fairs. For the South to continue to produce 11,0OO,00O to 13,0O0,00O bales of cotton under the abnormal condi- tions facing the world cotton market in 1921. there would be an accumu- lation of the disaster which has al- ready overtaken us. Our eggs were all in one basket, and somebody kicked it or dropped a brick in it.

Now that the commercial organiza- tion has, been born and officers and directors chosen it would be proper to begin membership campaign for the largest possible number of members. There is strength in numbers. If the club is to be really useful, active and ~pek ekmanent it should take a pace that can be held Many commercial or ganization has been wrecked by under taking too ambitious plan at the beginning. There are many ways that such an organization can help other than trying to raise big bonuses for new industries. New industries that have chance at success should be welcomed, and all possible should b8 done to make Ashdown the kind of town that would be desirable in which to establish an industry. It seems that the things that should concern us most would be the encouragement in : flegeloping the resources of which we aH possessed Anything that would encourage agricultural development, our chief source of prosperity. The building up and creation of better markets would go far. Those other organizations that are tackling the marketing problem could be encourag- ed and assisted by the right kind of CO., operation. A commercial organiza- tion may not handle these problems as club, but could find ways to bring together the forces that would make it its business to handle them. It is agreed that Neosho with it's plan has done more for it's town and country 3hat Any other commercial organiza- 'tion yet, as an organization it never finances anything other than the main tenance of it's own organization
