SURPLUS OF FARM LABOR
Federal Report Shows Demand is EX
 ceeded in Arkansas.

Washington, D. C., April. 13.-The supply of farm labor in Arkansas seems to exceed the demand over the entire state, according to an analysis of the farm labor situation all over the United States made public today by the bureau of crop estimates, de- partment of agriculture.
 In some, localities in Arkansas, the report says, white farm labor is still bringing $1.50 per day at many points. Negro labor can be had at from 75 cents to $1 per day. As it affects the entire country, the farm labor situa- tion is really easier than it has been in the past three years, the report says.

Writes Prize=Winning
 Paper for Contest

Will Matt Locke of Richmond, won the first prize on a composition, Safe Farming and What it will Mean to Lit tie River County" in the school con- test and rally last week. The article follows:
 Little Ricer County is situated in the Southwestern part of Arkansas, between Red and Little River. It lies between the thirty-third and thirty fourth parallels of latitude.
 Her soil is, for the most part, very fertile and her climate is such that most crops grown in the United States can be grown in her borders.
 Our farmers have not lived up to their possibilities agriculturally; but am glad to state, our farmers are working up to tLe;r opportunities. In the past Little River county has been welded too close to cotton. A ''one crop system" is not Safe Farming" We have neglected our hay, our corn, our potatoes, our live stock and our poultry and have depended on buying them with the proceeds from our cot ton or doing without them.
 "It is the purpose of this article to
 point out a way for Safe Farming" and to show what such plan would mean to Little River county.
 First, what is safe or successful farming for any section or territory of our country? I understand success full farmer to be one who makes a good living On the farm, has means en- ough to properly educate his child ren, and has his resources always in
 such condition that poor crop year or practical crop failure as we some times have, would not bring disaster or cripple his prospects for the future. We must first quit the one crop system of raising cotton and depend ing on it to buy everything else. We must rotate our crops, for cOnserva- tion of soil is a great and vital nec- essity if we are to keep our acres fertile. Not only does crop rotation tend to preserve the fertility of the
 soil, but it provides for a better drs- tribution of labor throughout the year,
 exterminates insects and diseases, and tends to free the land from the growth
 of weeds which often take as much food from the soil as the crop itself.
 More of our land must be seeded to hay crops. X This thing of the farmers
 buying hay, corn and other feed must stop. By planting peas, soy beans, peanuts and velvet beans we can fat ten our hogs, furnish excellent feed
 for our horses and COWS and by so do- l ing have corn to sell.
 ''The farmers of this county must | pay more attention to catch and cover crops. A field that is bare or fallOw loses more by wash 'ng or teaching
 than when occupied by crops. It is often possible to grow quick maturing l crops after the principal crops have 1 been harvested. After we gather our corn or cotton, we should plant our land to oats, rye, vetch or some kind of winter clover so as to prevent the washing away of the soil and the
 teaching away of plant food. In addi- i tion, these things make good winter pasture.
 'We must have orchards to fur
 nish fresh fruit for the farm and a surplus to sell and can for winter use. i (COntinued on page 4)
