We Need More Chickens

Arkansas needs more chickens. The
census of 1920 proved this. II showed
that no eggs We're produced on 40,0I9
Arkansas farms and not a chicken
was raised ON $3.50 farms. Ar
kansas closes its eyes on too many
Of its opportunities.
Poultry and eggs and dairy prod
uets, and frequently poultry and eggs
alone pay the family store bills in
the most prosperous farm districts
in the United States, and they could
be made to pay the store bills in Ar
kansas If only we would give atten-
tion to them.
Many a man with Imagination,
pencil and piece of paper has made
himself rich in the poultry business
within an hour. The business is
not so easy as that, but it Is an easy
business and a profitable one il one
studies it and builds from small be-
ginning. Hens will produce more
profit from women and girls ON Ar
kansas cotton farms than these wo-
men and girls can make in the cotton
fields.
Arkansas bankers have for years
taken o practical and sensible in
terest in the welfare of the farmers
of this state. In every county there
are bankers, or at least one banker,
who will give not only advice but ma
terial help to the beginner in the
poultry Observation-Disclosures Gazette.

GullibIe Wall Street

Wall Street is the "scariest" place
the United States and Wall Street is
the most gullible place in the United
states. An international crook, who
sold gold bricks and ~jewels stolen
from the palace of a Rajah" all over
the world said IT was easier to bunco
New Workers than to defraud any
other people.

pied piper is going to bagpipe through
Wall Street and all hands will follow
him to the Battery.
I During the last few days there has
been some wild speculation in cotton
The future market was hammered
down on varied, vagrant rumors. Yes
terday there was a reaction.
Now conditions were not better yes.
terday than they were the day before
Fundamentally, the cotton situation
was the same. There was no excuse
for cotton going down Monday, as
there was no excuse for it gazing up
Tuesday, that is, no business reasons.
No man can tell today how much
cotton there will be picked this fall.
As we see it the prospects are not ripe
for a much larger picking than last
year. So far the planting season has
not been good. The acreage is larger
than last year, but in spite of the
government forecast we do not know
how much larger. One thing is dead
sure, labor for tilling the crop is going
to be scarce all over the south. Labor
for picking the crop is going to be
scarce. The boil weevil is going to be
a factor, how great just now no one
can tell. The dry, hot or wet weather
in later months are the boil weevil
controllers.
If world conditions remain anything
like normal there should be an active
demand for 20 per cent more cotton
in bales than we grew last year We
don't see how 20 per cent more bales
of cotton can be grown.
So, based upon prospective supply
and demand, cotton this fall ought to
fetch as much per pound as it did last

tion today that warrants this up and
down future market.
SO, cotton futures went down and
down and a lot of people lost money
and every time somebody lost some
body made. Then cotton went up and
some lost money and some made
money. During all this time not a
single bale of cotton was delivered
ON any Of the sales or any of the pur-
chases. All of which caused an old
question TO become more recurrent
and that is, what benefit is a future
market anyhow? Or If the futures
help stabalize the price of cotton do
they advance the price more than they
influence a decline? The old question
might be resolved into another and
then analyzed lis speculation in any
commodity, where delivery is not con-
templatcd, good or bad, as an In

checks to be worthless. The checks
did not aggregate more than half a
million dollars, but Immediately there
was a wild scramble to sell stock.
Stocks dropped several million dollars
in paper prices before the stampede
was over.
If any stranger should go into a
ST. Louis, or. Nashville bank, or any

transaction like this he would not get
far.

by the supreme court of the District
of Columbia from attempting to Sc
cure cost prices or other information
from the Maynard Coal Company.
Under the law creating the commits
sion it is empowered to demand this
information from corporations engag-

The court rules that the company is
not engaged in commerce, but that it
is engaged in production. Numerous
decisions by the United States su-

view.
The supreme court of the District of
