Farm, Church and School
Problems To Be Discussed
New Features This
Week Invite Views
OF Every Reader

We wish TO call attention to three
new departments in the news columns
of the Star Herald this week. One is
the church department, another the
school department and the other the
farm department. Each contains an
invitation to any reader of the Star
Herald and we sincerely hope that
If you have a thought which might
be of benefit to anyone, you will put it
In writing and let us communicate it
to the public. You may not like to
write you might think your ideas are
not worthy of publication-but every
question has two or more sides and il
is more orSess a duty that you let
your thoughts be known.
In the church department we hope
to hear from every preacher. of every
denomination, in the county. We do
not invite an argument on the merits
Of any denomination, neither do we
invite a denominational sermon. What
we want is to call the social and
economical life of Randolph county in
to closer touch with the church and
religious institutions. Nor is this de-
partment limited to preachers. Many
! laymen can tell the preachers a few
things and we invite their contribu-
| tiOns
The school department should be of
interest to every citizen of the coun-
ty and this should prove a good means
Of communication between the teachers
and the patrons. We need better
schools and there are many subjects
that might be discussed which will
look toward obtaining better schools.
We need consolidated schools, better
paid teachers, closer cooperation be-
tween patrons and teachers, more
money for schools. a better general
understanding of our educational
requirements-if you look at our edu-
cational standing you will have to ad-
nit that we need many things. We es-
pecially urge the teachers to cooperate
with us in this department and heart
fly invite the participation of the pub
lie.
This county is practically wholly
agricultural. Without the agricultural
interests there would be practically
nothing to Randolph county. But a
great majority of the farmers are
poor. Only a few of our farmers be-
gin the harvest with money In the
bank. There is reason for this
There is no better farming land any
where than in Randolph county. We
have bottom land as good as any in
the Mississippi valley. Our hill land
is better than the White county land
where strawberry farmers made $500
an acre clear this year. Our hill land
is better than the western Arkansas
hills where farmers reap great har-
vests of fruit. berries and vegetables.
Ideal for live stock and poultry, dairy
ing and truck farming. What is the
matter? Most of us have pretty
good idea as to what the matter is and
this department is originated for the
purpose of threshing It out. Would
you like to see every good acre in Ran
dOlphr county earning over hundred
dollars a year? So would we. How
can we improve our farming condi-
tions? YOU tell us.
Don't let false modesty hold you
back If you have anything to say. Turn
1t loose, you owe it to your neighbOrs.
