AT BALD KNOB

The big good road meeting
held in the Gem Theatre, Tues
day, showed that the people of
both Woodruff and White coun-
ties are determined to have di-
rect communication with each
other.
A delegation of sixty promi-
nent citizens of Woodruff coun-
ty, accompanied by the Augusta
Silver Band of twenty-three
pieces came over to meet with
the large number Of White coun
ty citizens present in order to
formulate scheme for building
the proposed road without a
bond issue.
Judge F. o. White of White
County presided. He was assist
ed by Judge E. M. Carl-Lee of
Woodruff county.
Discussion of the project was
entered into by representatives
citizens of both counties. Hen
ny Patterson of Searcy, who as
commissioner, had a large hand
in building the great Arkansas
Missouri Pike through White
county, frankly advocated a
bond issue to raise the needed
funds. Bolivar Conner of Angus

Judge Pearce, of Bald Knob, w.
H. Dawson Of Worden, Ex-May
OF Walter Rainey of McCrory,
c. E. Bailey of Augusta and
others spoke for the road with
out bonds.
1t was decided by rising
vote of the assembled citizens
that the two county judges be
empowered to appoint three
standing committees to work in
conjunction with themselves,
one each on location, labor and
finance. w. H. Dawson of Wor-
den; J. E. O'Brien of Rio Vista

gusta were picked by Judge
Carl-Lee as members of the To-
cation committee, the other
committees to be appointed lat
er.
Judge Carl-Lee stated that
Woodruff county planters would
furnish mules and men to ham
die all the White county road
machinery under direction of
Judge F. o. White and that the
road could be made passable
without a bond issue. This line
of road will fill the last gap in
the surfaced way between Lit
tie Rock and Memphis, as well
as give the people of White and
Woodruff counties a chance to
become acquainted.

The Donaldsonville chief., 1922-11-04

With the national election only
few days off there is said to be no
Improvement in the general apathy
that has marked a campaign more
puzzling to the political managers
than most of them are willing to ad-
nit. There are a few storm centers
on the political map-in Ohio, MIS-
souri,, New Jersey and New YORK
but taken as whole there is an in
difference on the part Of the voters as
to the fate of the parties and persons
which sets at doubt all the usual
methods of prognosticatlon. Inc
Indifference Of the voters to the TWO
old parties and their willingness to
stav at home in a spirit of "a plague
on both your houses" has led many
observers to the conclusion that this
would have been an ideal time to
start a real third party movement.
The Democrats naturally clam that
the stay-at-home vote is ito be a
protest against what the Republicans
have done and failed to do in the
national administration and in con-
gress. It is said that Senator Borah
of Idaho and others mentioned as
possible leaders in a third party move
ment have not failed to grasp the
mood of the voters in the present
campaign and the possibilities of a
third party loom brighter and bright
er every day. Such a party 1t IS sad
would draw mostly from the ranks of
the Republicans who are said to be
disgusted with the poor showing
made by their party under the Hard
ing regime.

THE SUGAR INDUSTRY.
Three Factors Contributing to its
Prosperity in Louisiana.

Three factors, which, it is predict
ed, will bring general prosperity to
the sugar belt of Louisiana, are in
operation today.
The first and most important is
the newly enacted tariff, which pro-
tects the home grower against foreign
competition. The increase in the tar
if on sugar from 1.6O to It's cents
a pound means approximately three
quarters of million dollars more to
the Louisiana planters, estimated on
the basis of a total production for
1922 of 233,333 short tons of sugar,
as announced by the Board Of Crop
Estimates.
Next is the unprccedent demand
from Europe for sugar. Europe has
bought thirty times as much refined
sugar this year as she did in 1913,
the year before the war. This year
she Is buying at the rate of $780,
100000 pounds.
And, thirdly, there is the future
market, which, it is claimed, will
stabilize prices by making the law of
supply and demand the governing fac
tor. This is done by spreading sales
over the year, instead of concentrate
ing them at harvest time when the
market is flooded with sugar.
The New Orleans sugar future mar
ket, which was organized in July, is
the second such market in the United
States. The other, in New York, re-
celves practically no trade from the
Louisiana producers.
One great obstacle that must be
overcome before the Louisiana sugar
future market is generally used by
the producers is the widespread pub
lie belief that future marketing is
gambling.
Exactly the opposite is true. Flu
,uer marketing is nothing more nor
less than insurance against loss.
For lnstancc-thc producer in June
or July looks over his growing crop
. ana estimates he will have a certain
amount OF cane or sugar to sell. The
pfice at that time is up and the pro-
tncer realizes that if he sells his crop
at that figure he will make profit,
1air gain on his investment.
he Sells sugar on Chc 1uLufe
market, agreeing to deliver GER
IAN number Of tons or pounds. He
k sale, then, in the knowledge that
happen what may to the market he
Will receive a good price for his crop.
PROBABLY he needs money. He
goes to his banker, shows him where
ue u mas sold the crop at profit, and
Inc Inc banker, realizing the price risk
nas been eliminated, advances the
needed funds.
!, 1t the price drops at harvest time
Ire ire producer is not affected. He de-
svers his sugar at the price he sold it
a aor months before, and cancels his
eohtract. If the price goes up, the
proaucer sells his crop at the in
creased quotation, and buys back his
~ tLuntract. He has had the benefit of
we insurance against loss.
:. bankers particularly are predict
ths and advocating general use by
ba t"e producers Of the future market,
"seause the bankers, financing many

rum for producers.

LAWS IN INTEREST OF FARMERS
Loan Limit to Be increased to $685..
900 and Credit Term Made Longer.

Two bills Of vital interest to the
farmers of Louisiana will be intro
duced in the next session of con-
gress, which convenes in December,
it is announced. One provides for an
increase in the maximum loan under
the federal farm system from $10,-
600 to $4,000, and the other pro-
vides for the establishment of a
longer term of credit for the farmer
to replace the six months loan under
the federal reserve banking system.
In discussing these bills, S. l..
Strivings, president Of the New York
State Farm Bureau, said:
"At present, the limit of $4,000
which a man may borrow from a fed
eral farm loan bank in order to buy
firm or for the uses of production,
is too small. Land and equipment
prices have gone up and more capital
is needed, naturally, to start in farm
ing with too small capital it is more
of a handicap than help. The bill
increasing the loan limit to $4,000
should prove a distinct advantage to
agriculture.
"The other bill, providing for a
system of intermediate credits, has
been needed for many years, at least
since farmers begin the practice of
collective marketing. agriculture
has long been handicapped by lack
of proper credit facilities. Several
bills have been introduced. The one
favored will probably provide for the
establishment of an intermediate
credit department in federal farm
loan banks.
"The six months credit of the fed
eral reserve system works excellently
for Industrial purposes, but is not
suited to farming. The farmers cy-
Gle of operations extend over great
cr period than six months. Accord
ing to the type of farming consider
ed, his needs call for from six months
to three years credit. Longer credit
is supplied by the federal farm loan
system, but there is no provision for
the intermediate stage.
"The bill we are supporting would
provide this intermediate credit. 1t
would be available for Individual
farmers to finance a years crop or to
associations of farmers to market
produce. Better credit facilities for
from six months tc three years will
aid agricultural cooperative market
ing associations to develop selling op-
erations, insuring a more equitable
distribution and better prices to both
farmers and consumers"
The two bills have been reported,
and should have consideration at the
December session. Officials of the
state and national Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton will cooperate in pushing the
legislation.
