PLANS TO HARNESS
THE BLACK RIVER

Poplar Bluff, Mo, Mar AT a
public meeting of 300 farmers and
land owners at the county courthouse
here this afternoon, a committee OF
25 was appointed to incorporate
district to construct large reservoir
near Leeper TO control the flood wa
ters from BLACK river and end the
disastrous floods from that river that
have been very costly to farmers
from Poplar Bluff south to Newport
Ark for many years.
Plans were drawn up for dam
l,l00 feet long between two large
hills at Leeper. Ii will / ecessitaIe
thee 1ndemmne of 5000 acres and
tbe reservoir when full, will be ~
miles long. The approximate cost
has been Fixed at 81 500, 900
The meeting also decided that the
federal government should be asked
TO furnish half the amount for the
construction of the reservoir, be
cause 1t would assist IN making
Black River a navlgaDle stream TO
Newport 1t also was decided to
ascertain if the state Of Arkansas
would not enter into the payment
OF part of the amount because such
move would be of great benefit 10
the northern part Of he state and
would protect that section 50 that
further work of the Western CLAW
Drainage District would not be ne
cessary along Black river
Officers of the Mo. Pac. Railroad
believe that the reservoir would pre-
vent future overhows, winch have
been very costlylo that line south Of
Piedmont, Mo. Flood gates would
be constructed so that the water can
be handled without trouble during
heavy rainy SEASONS.

BANK GIVES OPINION
ON POWER FARMING
March 6, lp22.

March 6, 1922
Messrs Riggs & Jones,
Distributors OF Ford Motors,
Pocahoutas, Ark.
Gentlemen;
Replying TO your request recent
IL for my OPINION on an experience
in power farming:
Farming by power 49, ana mas
been for several years, one OF my
hobbies, and has beyond a doubt
proved most successful IN mora ways
than one.
First OF all by the use of tractor,
/ eliminated six head OF mul's and
t1e services Of two men. The money
invested IN those six mules would
today buy two FoTdson tractors,
and With the services of two compe-
tent men will do more work, do 1t
better and quicker, than twelve
mules aud six men.
The tractor will pull the plow,
DISC, Dlhntlg lhOHti1 Il iN'h N'
hay press, dltcher, road grader,
ssuups, iu fact 1t Is adapted to do
most anything that a man with any
practical knowledge of farming can
do with teams.
Daring very hot weather and the
rusL season at harvest time The trae
tor is he farmers salvation
ltls the most valuable piece OF
maohLery, and the greatest money
saver that a farmer can possess.
From personal observations, J
am convinced that 10 this territory,
where few farms are large, that the
sm .ler type of tractor, OF which
the Fordson Is easily first, Ia the
most practical, and tic best Tor the
farmer to buv.
Yours very truly,

The day has come to us In the his
tory of Randolph county, when no
other county office carries with H.
more important responsibilities and
duties, so vitality connected with the
general welfare, progress and hap
pluess of our people, than does TINS
office, which is now at your dispos-
al. Under the jurisdiction OF the
county and probate Judge, come al
most all of those civil affairs otYour
county, which are most vitaliy con-
nected with some of The most ma
terlally important interests OF the
people, and which tend toward The
promotIon of The general welfare,
progress, happiness and develop
ment of our entire county. Your
roads and road money; your schools
and school money; your poor and
unfortunate paupeis and the funds
TO sustain them; Administrations
aud estates; guardians and curators
OF minors aud their estates; the al
lowance of court expenses and many
other expenses OF the county, and
many oIneI important and RESPONSE
bic duties are directly IN the hands
Of the county aud probate judge.
This trust Is an important one aud

myself tor your consideration as 20
my qualifications and fitness for the
