Cy Adams Says:

There isn't much difference between
reliability and dependability
Worry never helped any man cure
insomnia.
If your farm washes and good soil
is going down the creek, write the
extension service, College of Agricul-
ture, University of Arkansas, 80
Donaghey Building for its new bulletin
on terracing.
Enthusiasm is about as much physi-
cal as mental. 1t takes a good body
to carry ont the things the mind wants
to do.
Every man in every profession ought
to figure out what his time is worth,
either to himself or someone else. Then
he ought to try to earn that-and
more.
Hogs need vitamines as well as folks.
Maybe that's why corn alone is an
expensive hog ration and why tank
age, milk or shorts when fed with corn
makes cheaper and faster gains on the
hog.

Must Deliver Cotton

Acting on advice and information of
the many thousand loyal members,
the officers and legal department of
the Arkansas Cotton Growers Cooper
ative Association have entered into a
vigorous fight against Stacking men,
bers. Wherever information indicates
a failure Of the member to do his part
toward delivering his cotton, the full
force Of the law is being used.
This Association has power to en-
force its agreement and enjoys rights
under Bill No. 116 Of the 1921 Legisla-
ture and the Capper-VOlstead Act of
our National Congress. The Depart
ment Of Field Service is busy in every
section of the state, investigating the
status of doubtful members.
Up to date, eighty-six cotton farmers
in various sections of the state have
been carefully investigated. Out of
this number twenty-five were found to
be actual viOlatOrs. Nineteen of these
turned their cotton over to the Asso-
citation but Court injunctions were OBJ
tained against three men.
October 18th, Judge Lyman Reeder
Of Batcsville granted temporary in
functions and restrained b. S. Arnold
and f. W. Arnold, both of Newark.
from disposing of any cotton outside
the Association. The same was grant
ed against Harrison Bennett. of New
port, by Judge ]. f. Parish. of that
place. Pleas for liquidated damages of
$1,000 per bale on all cotton illegally
disposed Of will be heard at n later
date. Several other suits will be filed
soon.
Particular interest is attached TO
these cases, since the law is so plain.
and the loyal members are actively be-
hind Association officials. In the case
of Mr.. Bennett, he was under mort
gage but continued to dispose of his
cotton after his mortgage had been
satisfied.
The Association has no hesitation
in going the limit with these cases.
They are representing the interests of
the honest men in the Association and
out of it, for it is as c. G. Henry, Presi-
dent, says Honest men do not breal,
their contracts, and neither do honest
men advise or assist others to do so"

So there is the utmost simplicity
here But indeed on the Hawaiian
islands generally the conversion of
land and labor into wealth by way Of
the explanation and the sugar fac
tory has rather terrifying simplicity
There is no curve in this conversion;
it is in perfectly straight line.
Practically the whole economic life
is concentrated on the production of
sugar. l suppose such a concentra-
ton amounts to an economic scandal.
On Maui, perhaps the most produc
tive spot on the globe, it is impossi-
BILE to get fresh vegetables; the let
tuces, even, come from the coast but
ter comes from New Zealand: every
thing comes out of a can. One has
to go into the wild recesses of the
land to find Hawaiians, Portuguese or
Chinese working a farm on the small
est and simplest scale. And there are
no markets for the stuff they pro-
due.

Sugar in Hawaii.
Padraic Column, in The Nation.

Padraic Column, in The Nation.
In acres and acres and hundreds OF
acres spreads the green that is rich
est Of all greens-the green Of the
sugar cane In the Hawaiian islands
it IS only when we go away from
where water can be poured out, 1t is
only when we get to places where /,
black lava crust lies upon the earth
that we lose sight of that triumphant
green. Sooner or later, if we would
understand the islands, we will have
to go by one of the roads that lead
through this green growth and come
to someone who can really tell us
about the plantations.
All the islands except Holokai
which is lacking in water, have great
sugar plantations-Oahu, Kauai, Maui,
Hawaii. But it is on the island of
Hawaii that the production Of sugar
is at it's simplest; there the album
dance Of water permits of direct trans
portation from the field to the fac
tory, and furnishes power besides for
the running Of the factory. On the
other islands one sees the brown stalks
Of burned and cut cane being drawn
on railway trucks through the living
green of the plantation. On the is
land of Hawaii the bundles of the cut
cane are transported as lumber Is
transported down the rivers-they
are rushed by fumes to the factory.
The cane crop is continuous and the
fields need never lie fallow; leave the
roots in the ground and the crops will
rise up again, thinning only after four
years. Here is a field that the power
cultivator has broken; bundles of cane
lie near-they are to be planted in
the ridges by the women and children
of the plantation. Here is field that
has not yet come to maturity; it is
due to ripen in from three to six
months, and here is field that mas
been burned to get rid of the growth
of leaves so that the cane can be easily
cut.
Water comes swiftly down in a
fiume that is about Is inches across.
The flow is in concrete trough, and
it rushes along like the water of a
mill-lace. Bundles of cane are being
swept along in it; it is carrying the
cane down to the factory six miles
away. Day and night, in a 24-hour
shift, this fume and the fumes con-
verging on it are carrying the cane
from the field into the factory car
rying it, in this particular place, right
into the machinery that cuts it, crush
