A subscriber writes the Journal that he is discouraged and out of sorts and imagines that he can do better some where else. He hasn't decided whether he will go to Texas or New Mexico or the far West where such stories of wonder ful climate and bumper crops have come. From the tone of his letter he seems to be dis gusted with old Arkansas and has decided she is too slow for him.
 Not being overrun with a mess of trouble crediting up a lot of cash subscriptions the editor of this paper unlimbered his typewriter and wrote the fellow as follows:

For Members of the Cotton
Association

It has been asked by some of the members of the Cotton Growers Association, What about freight rates and stor- age?" As director of the Association 1 take this method of giving such information as l can.
 All members when ready to ship cotton will be advised as to what compress to send it for storage. When it is delivered to station and bill of lading obtained, consigned to the As soeiation you are then entitled to a loan on your cotton.
 The freight will be taken care of by the Association and you will not have to bother about that, and you will be eX- pected to ship 1t as fast as practicable and 1t matters not whether you ship a bale or car load at d time as the freight will be the same, that is, so much a bale regardless of the number shipped. As soon IS the cotton is delivered at the station and bill of lading re- ceived, showing that the cot ton has been properly con- signed to the Association 1t automatically becomes insur- ed against loss and the Asso- citation takes charge of and inn nediately becomes responsible for it's value to the owner.
 The question is asked by some, Why select some com. presses to store cotton and leave out others?' The com mittee who was appointed to pass upon this matter investi- gated thoroughly the advis- ability and feasibility of cer- tain congresses throughout the state and after making care ful investigation as to freight

 Once there he uses his Ark ansas money to buy farm, which today is and tomorrow is not, because the wind has blown it away.
 Or perchance, he tried Colorado and slushes in the mud irrigating a strip of land so narrow that COW can't jump into the field without jumping over it.

 When his money is gone he feels like he did the first night he stayed away from home.
 He yearns for good old Arkansas and that yearn sticks in his throat and chokes him until the tears come into his eyes.
 He would give a year's $ wages to see the cows standing at the bars of his old Arkan- sas farm and hear the old fla miliar call to supper and the bark of the hound dog round the kitchen door.
 Memory is a marvellous painter and paints best the things we love best.
 Tt pictures to this man far from home corn silken fields he once owned, the cotton stretching away in a sea of white as pure as snow.
 He sees the green meadows the fields of ripening wheat, and as in a dream the orchards of ripening fruit appear.
 It shows him the trees Whis- pered to his children at play, points to the roses in the cor her of the fence and with inf mite detail paints a thousand things that touch the heart and reveal he old home place.
 Happy is the man who wakes from his sleep to find that he has wandered away from dear old Arkansas only in his dreams.

Freight Rates and Storage Discussed by District Director

lrates and amount of cotton which should be placed in the different congresses found that it would be much less ex- penSe to assemble the cotton as the congresses which they selected because the freight rates are less, congresses bond ed and generally we'll located, considering the volume of cot ton to be placed there, and the more cotton stored at any one point the better it will be on account of the cotton having to be placed in pools accord ing to sample and grade. To illustrate: Suppose that 2,000 tales were placed in storage al a given point at one time and consisted of twenty grades divided into that many pools and the Association had an or der for ,000 bales of certain grade and type and in that compress we had only 400 bales of that particular grade and type, we would then have to be at an additional expense, assembling the other 600 bale l, from some other point where the cotton was placed in other congresses. thereby making the expense much greater and labor more burdensome on the owner of the cotton.
 The expense must be held down as much as possible and the plan worked out and adopted is to the best interest of the members of the Asse- citation, and this is the only reason that we have selected the congresses at the ditterent points throughout the State.
