 Association in County

all other avocasions1of Little River
 County:
 I want to call your especial atten- tion to the call meeting of the Pure Bred Poland China Hog Breeders and Growers, for the purpose of organiz- ing Poland China Breeders Associa@ tion of Little River County, Ark. Which will meet at the court house at 10 o'clock sharp on Tuesday Au- gust 25, 1921.
 Now remember this call is to all parties who are breeders of the Pure Bred Big Type Big Bone Poland China Hogs or are friendly to such a move. I think we as farmers as well as the banker merchant and the professional men, have learned by sad experience, the great force of the old adage, Do | not put all the eggs in one basket" For we live in a country of great | diversity of crops, we also have a
 country where many kinds of pure bred live stock do we'll
 We have long growing seasons for all kinds of forage crops, can produce 1 hay in abundance.
 | The soy an velvet beans, cowpeas, | the sorghums, sacharine and non sach- arine are great hay crops and will grow well if the ground is properly prepared and cultivated, but we must not expect them to grow wild Corn, oats, rye, barley and wheat all grow well here and furnish abun- dance of grain for food and feed, be- sides all but corn are splendid for grazing stock through the fall and i winter if sown early in the fall. And in many parts of the country we can have fall grazing by sowing alfalfa burr, sweet and many others of the clover, and the hog is very fond of the grazing on them as well as on Bermuda.
 We also have the sweet, Irish pota- toes, the chufees, the artichoke, the Dasheen and the peanut which grow well and furnish the hogs splendid | fattening feed, as we'll as to furnish many palatable dishes for our tables.
 For long years we were contented
 with the common Arkansas cattle,
 horses and hogs, which condition held it's full sway until only very few years back; and again today we have made but little progress in this county in the way of getting rid of the ''cold bloods" by the bringing in of the bet ter breeds of either cattle. horses or the hogs.
 My friends, do you realize that this country is at the threshold of unpre- cedented opportunity?
 We have just passed through period of intense speculative prosperity. we dIe dDOuI LO euIeT lllIO pcTlOu of intense constructive prosperity.
 The same natural, immutable laws that brought about the first condition are working with equal force to bring in the near future the second phase. Hundreds of millions of dollars have already been appropriated to catch up with the wars inactivities and hund- reds of millions more are on the way. Building million homes, reconstruct ing a nations railways, interlacing the country's highways with thous- ands of miles of hard roads These and many more are only part of Ameri- ca's program for the next few years. The curtain is about to go up. From every dollar expended for labor and material in this immense constructive expansion, a good percent will find it's way back into the pocket of the wise hustling hog farmer who furnishes the basis of all industrial activity-three square meals day
