THE CURE-ALL OF LEGISLATION

The Nations Business says, if prices do not please, the remedy is obvious Pass law! The Pennsyl- vania folks have found hotel bills too high and a bill is proposed to empower the Public Service Com mission to fix the rates. In Oklaho- ma the price of crude oil is too low and the legislature has named a com mittee to investigate and report.
 Hogs have sold as high as S22.10 a hundred in Chicago and pork chops have sold at three pounds for a quar- ter in the markets of Washington. All we lack is legislation to make the two things happen on the same day and everyone will be happy.
 Senator Kenneth McKellar-the very name sounds Scotch and practi- cal-gave his colleagues suggestion the other day:
 .'If the Senator can frame law that will increase the price to the producer and at the same time de- crease the price to the consumer, he will frame law the like of which has never been enacted heretofore in the history of the world. The only proposition that I know that com pares with it at all is a statement of member of the other House from my State a number of years ago. who said that he invariably vot- ed for every appropriation bill but voted against every taxation bill. The two situations are somewhat similar"
Cleveland County herald., 1921-04-07
WHAT FARMERS MAY DO
(From Beacon-Herald.) )

We are glad to note that the farm CTS around Waldo are getting in shape to stand a large reduction in the acreage of cotton and when the smoke of battle has cleared away, so to speak, we believe they will find themselves in a great deal better shape financially than in their palm jest days of planting all cotton.
 On recent Saturday the mer- chants of Waldo purchased from the farmers of the surrounding country 1900 dozen eggs. That was high water mark but every Saturday many hundreds of dozens of eggs are bought in this town. But eggs are not the only articles that are sold, and Saturday is not the only day on which these sales are made.
 Hundreds of pounds of chickens are marketed at Waldo each week and bring in goodly sums to the far mers and to the merchants who buy and ship them and in turn sell the farmers their supplies.
 Some of the farmers around this town have been having good success in shipping radishes to the northern market. One man shipped 27 barrels for which he received $10 per barrel and they were raised on about one acre of land, and with very little work in the way of cultivation.
 The farmers around Waldo have agreed to raise enough cucumbers this year to induce a brining plant to locate there. And they are going to raise watermelons for shipment.
 What the farmers around Waldo are doing can be done by the farmers in this section.
 There are wonderful possibilities in this entire section in the way of truck farming. Over around Hope and Prescott it has proved marvel ous success.
 We have tried through the columns of this paper to stir our farmers up to a similar movement, but so far our efforts have proved fruitless.
 This is an excellent strawberry country and is in a section where there should be little or no compe- tition, because our berries here would go on the market just behind l the strawberries raised to the south | of us and just ahead of the belt in | North Arkansas.
 Profits of $50 to $200 per acre in strawberries are not uncommon | and there is very little expense at tached to them after the first year. l
 The farmers of this section should l not sit back and try to get by this year in the hope that cotton will come into it's own next season. But 1 they should plan now to forever make cotton surplus crop and avoid get ing caught in the predicament in which they now find themselves.
 A SOW, COW and some chickens s a good slogan to tie to. It is also yell to figure on what can be done n the way of truck farming.
Cleveland County herald., 1921-04-07

This paper is heartily in favor of Gov. McRae's move to prohibit local legislation by the Legislature. We opposed such actions since the day the Legislature met. It is not only a great expense and great waste of time, but it delays counties and cities from doing a great many necessary Improvements by having to wait two years for the assembly to meet and then a few boneheads who have no interest in the matter whatever could defeat it. We believe in greater measure of home rule.
