from a spark that set the dry shingle
roof ablaze. A heroic effort was made
to extinguish the fire but being with
out ladder to reach the burning spot
with water the blaze soon got beyond
control and the work done had but
little effect.
When 1t was seen that all efforts
to save the building were in vain,
every helper was directed to remove

was carefully carried out until every
seat, window, door, black board, and
stove were saved.

Endorse Cotton Reduction

A group of cotton farmers at Sup
ply met Monday and adopted the fol
lowing resolutions:
Whereas, the crop of 1925 was so
large that it was a burden to the cot
ton market and depressed the price
below the cost of production, and
Whereas, this large crop has brought
to its producers fewer dollars than the
crop Of 1924 which was nearly 2,500,-
900 bales less, and
Whereas, there is being started n
South-wide movement to reduce the
cotton acreage for 1926 and thereby
release sufficient acreage to produce
feed and food to support the farm and
its occupants;
Now, therefore, we, group Of cot
ton producers of Randolph county, Ar
kansas, do hereby heartily endorse the
South-wide movement and would sug-
gest the farmers, merchants and bank
ers organize a state branch of this
movement and put ON an energetic
campaign Of safe farming and a mater
ial reduction in cotton acreage.
Adopted at a meeting held at Sup
plv in Randolph county, Arkansas, on
the 10th day of February, 1926.

MANUFACTURE OF TIES
PROVIDES GOOD INCOME

Randolph county farmers are finding
way to beat the effects Of low priced
cotton This is by the making and
selling Of railroad ties. While every
years sees a great quantity of ties
sold from this section, the present year
seems to be bringing unusual activity
along that line.
There may be several causes which
produce this effect. One probably is
that "hard times makes 1t necessary
for many to turn their hands from the
plow to the cross-cut saw and double
bitted axe.
Another reason for increased pro-
duction of ties may be attributed TO
improved roads. few years ago,
during this season of the year, most
country roads were so bad that tie
maker would have been forced to bring
his sticks to town on mule back, pro-
vided he could find mud-shoes for the
mule to prevent its sinking in the
mire.
Tie making is hard work. There is
nothing of play in ii and records fail
to show where any man ever became
rich by it.
Tie making is honest work. A man
engaged in making ties does not have
to slip off to a secluded thicket, dig
out his outfit and keep nervous watch
while the product is being manufac-
tured.
The sale of the ties brings in little
cash-enough to provide for the aver
age family during the duh season. If
farmer raises sufficient food and feed
to last through the winter, he can earn
enough by hacking ties to make another
crop.
One thing Randolph county needs is
more double-bitted axes and fewer
double-seated-er, britches.

LAREDO SOY BEAN
PROVES A SUCCESS

In the spring of 1925 several bush
els of Laredo SOY beans were imported
into Randolph county. and as a result
there has been unusual interest shown
in this crop. according to E. A. Kerr,
county agricultural agent.
Randolph county has made some use
of this bean, but not an extensive
use he said. However, with the
advent of the dairy business in this
county, farmers must turn to some
thing that will furnish some good,
nutritious hay il these cows are to be
properly cared for in winter. Many
farmers cannot grow clovers success
fully and thus they must turn to soy
beans When they do this they are
not making mistake, because there
is much feed value In the soy bean
hay. Many prefer 1t to pea hay.
AS a hay the Laredo soy bean is
more satisfactory than the Mammoth
lelOWs DetduSt VI IT'S rihd4i Sbthi'f
abundance of leaves and the amount
of bean pods produced.
"The Virginia yielded more beans
per acre in Randolph county than did
the Laredo, but the Laredo led the
group with its heavy yield Of foliage
on small stems. One farmer in this
county harvested between three and
four tons of hay per acre last year,
with an unusually dry season. An
other farmer produced four tons per
acre"
Mr.. Kerr recommends the Laredo
for hay, the Mammoth Yellow used In
a row with corn for hogging of, and
also the Virginia for good yields in a
similar manner The Virginia, he
said, makes good yields as hay.

dacy for prosecuting attorney of the

tice in both the supreme and federal
courts. He has had considerable ex-
perience as a prosecuting official, since
he has served as deputy prosecuting
attorney for Sharp county since 1928.
The Hardy Herald says Of him
''rhose in this county who have known
Shelby Ferguson all his life will join
this paper in the declaration that be

he Is man of clean habits and clean
life, and that he would be fearless and
fair in the discharge of his duties as
public servant in the capacity OF
prosecuting attorney, and that he could
be depended upon to give his time and
well known energy to looking after the
business entrusted to him by his oath
of office. His ability is a matter be
yond question, and is recognized by
those who have had occasion to note
his practice in the courts. There will
be no more worthy candidate in the
field than Shelby Ferguson, and the
] Herald takes pleasure in presenting
his candidacy to its readers for theiI
consideration"
