 Hurrah for Hatfeldl
 The next meeting was held in Mena January 28 at which 12 farmers signed the contract and many others expressed their intention to do so. The last one was at Acorn Saturday night for the purpose of getting in line on the seed and fertilizer needed. Acorn had the honor of securing first right to have a local director in the association. A school district with her signers is entitled to a director. Peter McWilliam was elected director. Members will be requested to decide on acreage soon as we must provide for good seed and all use one va- riety for each crop planted. Now as we have assigned our grading, pack ing and selling troubles let us coop crate in planting and producing, the farmers real business.

FRUIT GROWING PAYS.

The movement to plant cherry or chards, grape vineyards and berries around the foothills and on the noun tain sides at Mena should be encour- aged, and every owner of town lot can add to the family income by planting a few trees. The following items on growing cherries in Mena, were obtained by w. c. B. Allen, who is urging the planting of grapes, cherries, and berries.
 Fruit lands at Anderson, flanagan, Sarcoxie and Noel, Mo, are worth $150 to $200 an acre, and bearing or ehards in Oregon, Washington, Colo rado and Idaho, sell for 5000 an acre, states J. H. McMillan, who formerly lived in the Northwest.
 Mir. T. A. Still, on Grandview Heights, Mena, bought the old or chard of MT. c. K. Davis, and three years ago Mir. Davis raised and sold the crop of cherries from one tree for $58 Gin 1919,) and in 1920, the year following the fruit crop failed. owing to a late frost, but MT. Still sold 33 gallons at about $1 gallon. This was an Early Richmond cherry.
 Mrs. Profit in West Mena, and her daughter, Mrs. Sunderman, sold over 800 worth of cherries from 5 or 6 trees in 1919.

PROGRESS MADE WITH
 FARMERS TRUCK CONTRACT

Many farmers of Polk county had determined months ago to affiliate with the Sevier County Marketing Association. The first real meeting with that end in view was held at the Commercial Club rooms January IA. Every farmer present seemed to think it was the right thing to do, and became so much interested as to how to proceed that no one seemed to realize that the noon hour had come and gone until about 3:30 o'clock When the decision was reached. They adjourned to meet again January 27.
 Acorn farmers alert as usual hur- ried home from the meeting held in Mena January IA, and held a meet ing that night in their sehoelhouse. Five of their progressive farmers signed the contract binding them eslves to market all their truck for five years thru the Sevier County Association.
 On the night of the 26th County Agent c. N. Alspaugh answered a call for a meeting at Hatfield. In his plain and easy manner Mir. Alspaugh explained the conditions which led to the Sevier County Marketing As- sociation, their success in marketing and aims for the future and explained many points of the contract to the satisfaction of those present.
 There were only ten farmers pres ent. Prof. J. W. Middleton was there also with his Smith-Hughes class of boys. Only a small crowd in num- bers but it was a 100 per cent crowd. Every farmer there and of course the professor signed the contract. There seemed to be one doubting Thomas there He took the floor with haze on his mind likely caused by some marketing operations he was connect ed with last season, but while he talked the haze gradually disap- peared and he saw the dawn of a brighter day into which no local farmers associations could ever cast their gloom And we imagined from the far away look in his eyes that he had vision. 1t was a vision of the last association of it's kind ever to be formed in Western Arkansas; van- ish in the far distance bearing the banner "The Hatfield Products and Cooperative Association" He had ceased speaking There was a mom- ent of silence. Then he called for the contract and learned that his neigh

 In regard to grape culture in the Ozark hills,. Mir. J. L. Sommers of Texas, who is a subscriber to The Mena Star in referring to the letter of E. B. Harrington, president of the Ozark Vineyard Association, says: q am glad to see the fuss it has started among fruit growers. It has been my intention to reach Polk coun- ty to engage in general fruit growing. with an accent on grapes.

 The interview by Jeff Lowthers in a recent issue of The Star was quite interesting to me. 1 don't remember Jeff, but his oldest brother and two sisters were my schoolmates during two terms. I remember his father and his uncle Joel Quinton. I think he still lived on the old place when we left there in '69. remember drinking whiskey made by Mir. Quin- ton. I never knew of mill or gin at the Quinton place. The only mill knew of was owned by William Walker on his farm -on Rock creek, and a little water mill also owned by him. am writing of the time of the war. This mill was run by horse power and 1 was there almost every grinding" day to help drive the horses. People from all over the county and out in the Choctaw nation came there to mill. l formed the ac- quaintance of boys there from Six Mile and the Ouachita country.
 The only cotton gin I knew of was owned by an old gentleman named Ward, Henry Ward, think, near Dal- las. Everybody that 1 knew took their little batch of spinning" cotton to that gin. It was not baled. There was no press with which to "bale' it. And nobody ever made enough to make even half bale. Cotton was not grown as a commercial crop in Polk county prior to 1868 or '69.
 Referring again to the Quinton place. The residence was peculiar in the fact that the front was painted white. I do not know whether it was a framed building or not. And there was one white house in Dallas no other painted building in the coun- ty that ever heard of.
 After the first company was formed for the Southern army, they drilled at the Quinton place. I saw them drill once A man named Thompson played the fife. I think the captains name was Williamson.
 Just after the war I attended school in log cabin on the Keener place owned at that time by Judge Howell. School was taught by old Colonel Alexander, who was Polk

county's clerk for some time. Judge Howell also taught school there af- terward The place was also used for church purposes and there used to be some very enthusiastic meetings there.
 If I may take the liberty of refer ring to the subject of grist mills again will say that about the close of the war or soon after there was lit tie water mill built on Mill creek just a short distance west of Rocky It was run by Mir. Landers and suppose he owned it. When I was in that country in the winter of '75 and '76 it was owned by Judge Howell He lived there near the mill. He was quite an old man then and was getting feeble. I visited him while there, which was the last time I ever saw the old man. And now, just one more mill story if you please, and l am thru
 I went to watch the one MT. Low ther told about. It was about 1868 and near Two-Mile creek. It was not on that stream--but on q smaller stream a little way west from Two Mile and half mile or more east of the line road. The power was fur nished by an overshot wheel and the water to run it was taken from the stream some distance above the mill and run thru a small Hume made of troughs burnt out of pine logs and joined together at the ends. The mill ran very slowly but never lost any time Inst aQ z0Ou as if finished grinding one grain it started on an- other. It ran day and night when there was sufficient business, grinding eight bushels in the 24 hours.

In three months the razorback gained

the advantages of the Green mountain

motoring and good trails for hiking.
excellent hotels of the modern type and
first rate tavcrns of the oi4lfashioned

is still as nature made it; it has not
been m%anicured and marcelled to the
point of artiticiality. and for many lovers
of natural beauty this makes almost its
chief appeal. Nowhere in the East are
the opportunities more abundant for a
wholesome vacation of the kind that pays
large dividends of genuine rest and rec
reation than in Vermont. The state will
be discovered anew one of these days.

other will begin its course.
Where in the cycle are we now? 1t
would seem that the course has been
about half run and that we are heading
into a period of comparatively good bust
ness which will continue through the
cycle. with the high tide coming two or
three years hence. 1t is interesting to
note that it was approximately fifty
months from the depression of 1908 to
the depression of 1907-the most seri-
ous. with the exception of the present,
during the present century. Labor trou-
bIes NAV persist. Tariff legislation may
affect the situation. But the economic
cycle will run its course. Just as in
1920 it was the wise man who needed
the business barometer and made ready
for the coming storm, so now he will
be wise who notices the forecast for
good weather and sets out upon the
business sea.
Nor must we forget that we have
headed into a period of constantly fall
ing prices-a phase of another cycle
which usually runs its course in about
fifty years; and economic history shows
that the period of declining prices is
usually longer by about ten years than
that of rising prices. Following the
panic of 1867 the movement of prices
was steadily downward for approx
mately thirty years. The first two de-
cades of the twentieth century were
marked by an increase in the cost of liv-
ing which reached its high point in 1920.
We have pitched over the crest. If the
past can be depended upon to forecast
the future we shall see many periods of
prosperity and depression during the
next thirty years, but the general price
movement will be downward as it was
i'm the last three decades of the nine
teenth century. We are now in a period
of reimbursement. 1t is probable that
with the revival of business, prices will
appreciably advance, but the next de-
preston will leave them lower than the
preceding one until the cycle has been
completed. Even so far as the present
is concerned. the outlook is for lower
g lower freight rates, cheaper
fuel-all of which will tend to lower
retail prices on the very eve of a bust
ness revival.
