HAS FINE ORCHARD
w. J. McNairy Has Proven
 Value of Fruit

w. J. McNairy, one of this community's most successful farmers, has one of the finest young orchards on his place, just north of town, that can be found in this part of the county.
 He has eight acres in young apple trees that are fine and that will begin yielding him a good income in the near fu- ture. The trees came from the famous Stark nursery of Louisiana, Mo-, and are the finest and healthiest trees in this community.
 MT. McNairy is agent for this nursery and is interested in getting the farmers to plant more orchards. He has demonstrated the value of fruit on his own farm and can give the farmers valuable in- formation on growing fruit. He has tried trees from many nurseries and says there are none as good for this section as the Stark trees. MT. Me Marry is not canvassing the community for orders but says he will be glad to take his sample books and give infor- nation to anyone who desires to buy fruit trees of any kind.

FARMERS SIGNING
 COTTON CONTRACTS
Continued from front page)

Continued from front page) Sept. 20 and at Floral We'd nesday Sept. 21 to talk about the Cotton Association. T. E. Hickman will arrange the time and place of the meeting at Pleasant Plains and B. l.. Brown will be in charge of the arrangements at Floral.
 Blank contracts are in the hands of each secretary of the local organizations and also at the Chamber of Commerce at Batesville.
 The Arkansas Cotton Grow CTS Association is at the pres ent time the chief business of the Arkansas Farm Bureau Federation. Recently the Farm Bureau has completed cooperative marketing associ- ations in the state for the sell ing of rice, sweet potatoes and lespedeza hay, and now cotton remains the big job to be completed this year.
 At the recent meeting in Little Rock, the State Farm Bureau Federation was per- manently organized with set of officers and an execu- tive committee elected and a constitution adopted. Five things were decided upon as being the present most impor- tant projects needing the Bu- reau's attention in Arkansas:
 1. Increasing membership in the County Farm Bureaus.
 2. Completion of the com- modity marketing associations of cotton, rice and sweet po- tatoes.
 8. Urging the consumption of Arkansas products by Arkan- sas people, especially corn which may be marketed this fall and shipped out of the state only to be back in the state in the spring.
 1. Looking after the soil fertility as being the basic proposition in intelligent and economic production of crops.
 5. The uniform annual dues set by the state organization for the counties was ten dol lars per year per member. The division of the funds as follows: 50 cents to the Am erican Farm Bureau Fedora tion; 50 cents for subscrip- tion to the Arkansas Agricul- turist, the official paper of the State Farm Bureau; $2 for the maintenance of the State Farm Bureau office; $2 during the first year to go to the marketing organizations if the member should join any or Ill of them; and $5 to remain in the county to be used at the
The Newark journal., 1921-09-15

discretion of the County Farm Bureau.
 Believing the Farm Bureau to be the best type of farm organization ever organized 1; that it's principles are broad and fundamentally sound, and u 4 it can be of untold bene- fit to it's members when com pletely organized for a period of years, the State Farm Bu- reau decided to proceed on a five year basis. All members are therefore asked to sign a five year pledge to the Farm Bureau. The pledge simply eliminating the necessity for a membership campaign each year, leaving only the collee- ton of the yearly dues to be carried on by the county otfi- cials.
 The State Farm Bureau has made an agreement whereby it is to carry on the organiza- tion work of the various com modity marketing associations and further that any member of the Farm Bureau may be- come a member of one or more of these associations without additional cost simply by sign ing the commodity contracts.
 The Farm Bureau is a broad visioned, thinking or ganization which has a con- science and expresses senti- ments, looks after agriculture in the state and counties gen. erally. The cooperative mar keting organizations are or ganized on strictly cold blood ed business lines for the sole and only purpose of selling the commodities.
 While there is a wide diff ference in the various con- modities such as cotton, rice, sweet potatoes, hay and other crops; yet there are certain things that are common to all, namely, need of proper finan- ces, transportation, legal ad- vice, statutory laws, statistics, research and mutual and sym pathetic understanding among all growers. Each coopera- tive selling organization might maintain an office for all of these needs but in order to save an enormous expense to the growers of the state and to make for efficiency, the State Farm Bureau proposes to maintain a department that will adequately care for prob lems which are common to all commodities.
