Why not a go to Church campaign

Why not a go to Church" campaign
in Arcadia!
Our Methodist and Baptist Sunday
Schools both have on campaigns to in,
crease Sunday School attendance, and
both are obtaining results. Almost
every Sunday adds new members to
the various classes, and the interest IL
the lessons was never stronger.
Why not take up the work where
the Sunday School leaves it, and
through the Sunday School increa'
the church attendance A very effect
i've plan would be for one Of our Sun
day School superintendent to issue a
call for meeting Of representatives
from both churches, to be held Oh a
specified date at one of the churches,
and there formulate plans to get more
people to attend Sunday School and
church each Sunday.
A religious census Of the town for
two miles arount would furnish some
very useful data on which to bast
this work.
Few people can advance any plaus.
ible reason for not attending church
and II such campaign were fOrmulat-
ed and pushed as 1t should be, we BE-
lieye each church would have reason
to be proud Of the results. A good
slogan would be go to Sunday School
next Sunday and stay for Church"

A Short Constitution

There is coming out Of every section
Of the State at this time a cry for a
short constitution. This is timely anC
we hope the trainers Of the new organ
ic law will heed the call in SO far
as it Is possible consistent with a sta.
bic and comprehensive constitution
However, it must be remembered tina
no State Constitution can be made as
brief as the Constitution of the United
States.
There are SO many more subjects
that must be considered in constitu-
ton Tor the State than it is neces.
sary to touch upon in a broad genera
constitution for the Federal Govern
ment. There are many object, how.
ever, that heretofore have been incor.
porated In the Constitution Of this
State which are purely legislative. W,
trust that the constitution about to be
written will only treat Of such matters
as properly belong in the organic law
and not burden the new constitution
and bewilder the minds Of both lawyers
and laymen with much that should be
left for action by the General As
sembly.
The personnel Of the constitution con.
ventiOn to assemble In March is CON-
posed Of the best brains and talent in
the State, and we believe the organic
law which they will submit to the
people will be decided improvement
over the old instrument which has
been handicap to Louisiana already
too long. Richland Beacon-News.

The county agricultural agent i'll
CollinswOrth county, Texas, has just
completed a survey of the amount OF
poultry business done in that county
during the year 1920, and the result
is surprising, and should serve as an
inspiration to those who read this.
The survey showed that poultry and
eggs to the amount Of $50, $3.50 had
been shipped from Collinsworth county
between January 1st, 1920 and Dec
ember 81. 1920. TO this amount add
that which was shipped, of which nc
record was obtained, and that which
was used for home consumption, and
the total is no mean amount Of wealth
contributed to the people of that
county by the Industrious hens.
1t should also be remembered that
this was practically all clear profit, as
Oh the average farm, a surprisingly
large flock Of poultry can be raised
on the waste which would otherwise
be lost.
A farmer in Wheeler county, Texas
sold $4,000 worth of turkeys last
year, while another sold 20 dozen eggs
at 60 cents per dozen in one week
from a flock of 40 purebred hens.
Lets encourage more poultry raising
in Bienville parish. 1t pays better than
cotton. -

There are today ab"at ninteen mil
lion bales of American cotton Oh hanc
with cOnsumptive requirements now IL
dicateA for less than ten million bale:
by August list, 1921. With a prospec
tive corry-over of nine million bales
next year, the planting of a normal
acreage in cotton this year will be Il
simple suicidal business policy, no
alone for farmers but for every bus
ness interest in the South.
There is but one sensible solution OF
the problem, under such conditions, anc
that is to reduce the cotton acreage o.
every farm. 50 that not exceeding hall
crop, or six million bales, will be
harvested in 1921.
The American Cotton Association is
waging an intensive campaign in every
cotton growing county throughout tn,
belt to reduce the cotton acreage "
per cent. by signed pledges from farm
ers, bankers, merchants, cotton fac
tors and fertilizer dealers. yhe bust
ness interest Of tie South are squarell
behind the campaign and thousand
of farmers are daily signing up th'
pledges and are determined to Gu
their cotton acreage half in two.
A Stacker in this campaign is a.
bad as a Stacker during the war. Tht
future of the South is at stake CIR
the cotton acreage in half, increaS,
food and feed crops and advance price

vent continued disaster.

The Southwest is in much better con-
dition agriculturally and financially
than many other portions Of this
country. 1t is true that prices of cot
ton are low; it Is true that livestock
prices have declined considerably; it
10 not to be denied that corn, hay.
wheat and country produce have pre-
coded manufactured articles in down.
ward prices. But let us not forget
that there is an abundance of feed OF
farms In most localities. SmOkehOuses
have been, or are being filled in many
communities. Many farmers are selling
poultry, eggs, butter, cream, hogs, cat
tie, sheep and other things. These
farmers have cash or bank accounts
and good standing in business. Such
communities are the barometers of
sound business and the flags Of pros
perity.
Business is passing through a read.
justment. Prices Of labor, material,
and in fact most all articles are de-
Clining. Even a bale Of cotton at
much lower prices now will buy many
necessities where the living is produc
ed at home.
Most farmers are more prosperous
than they are thought to be. They will
1t Is genearlly believed, be able to f.
nance themselves. upon reasonable
terms and produce as much as the
markets will take at profitable prices
next year.
Let every citizen be fair with his
neighbor, honest with himself and lib
eral with his services to society. The
war Is over; peace is being enjoyed
and prosperity is in reach Of ALL
