MUCH RANDOLPH COUNTY
WHITE OAK TIMBER CUT

Ingram, Feb. 15.-White oak timber
in this section is rapidly being cut
over. The timber is cut into bolts
here, is hauled to Pocahontas in trucks
and shipped from there to the Henry
Wrape Mills at Paragould and other
points.
The timber tract now being cut Is
a $50 acre plot belonging to Otis Mock
and Mr.. Weatherford. There is thought
to be enough timber in this tract to
keep the cutters and haulers busy until
crop time. About 20 citizens of this
community are employed in cutting
and hauling this timber.
1t is estimated that 500 acres Of
white oak timber has been removed
from this section during the past year.
Even after this large amount has been
cut and removed, there are many hun
dreds of acres yet here and, at the
rate II is now being removed, will last
for many years to come.

MOCK URGES EXTENSION
OF RURAL SCHOOL TERMS

To the People of Randolph County:
| am writing you to urge you to con
tinue your spring terms of school rs
long as you possibly can. For years
and years we have kept the children in
the towns and cities i'm school for
period of from eight to nine months
each year. Not so with the children
who live in the rural districts. Many
of them have been permitted to attend
school during the very hot months in
summer and the very cold months in
winter. As a consequence, many a
bright child has fallen behind with his
work and has lost hope.
The cotton fields of the South have
ever enslaved helpless children. May |
ask. when shall we abandon this sys-
TEN? Would it not be far better 10
plant fewer acres of cotton, and at The
same time keep the children in school?
A great deal has been said about our
unusually large cotton crop, and the
low price received for it, but the fact
that child labor is largely responsible
for this seems to have been sadly over
looked.
The people of the Northern states
send their children to school, Do you
not think we can do the same, provid-
ed we do not under estimate the value
of an education? Do you agree with
me that every child has a right to he
well educated?
The County Board of Education will
make the March apportionment within
the next few days. We do not know
how much this will be, possibly $1.25
for each child enumerated. Why not
spend this money in extending the
present. term of school a month or so?
Let me assure you that this letter
is addressed to you in a spirit of good
fellowship. 1t has been written in de-
/ fense of the children, many of whom
cannot speak for themselves.
Yours respectfully,
Rufus A. Mock,
County Superintendent.

ADVISE HOG RAISERS TO
USE SERUM TREATMENT

Reports from all sources indicate
that So outbreaks of cholera occurred
in Arkansas during the month of Jan
uary against 40 for the month of Dec
ember 1926. To help farmers prevent
n recurrence of the losses from hog
cholera suffered late in 1926 the agri-
cultural department, University Of Ar
kansas, in a statement sent out to the
dependence in serum treatment rather
than in less reliable safeguards. The
statement follows:
"Hog cholera is readily prevented
and controlled by immunizing suscepu-
BILE animals with anti-hog-cho se=-
um, either alone or in combination with
hog cholera virus. The latter method
is usually preferable, since it gives a
solid or lasting immunity. Treatment
is most economical when applied to
hogs while they are young, and should
be performed by competent veterin-
arian or, in sections where such ger
vice is not available. by carefrIly
trained layman.
Being a preventive and not a cure,
the treatment should be applied before
infection threatens the herd, prefer
ably when pigs weigh about 35 or 40
pounds. At that size they require less
serum and are more easily handled
than large hogs. 1t is advisable, with
out fail, to protect garbage-fed hogs and
valuable breeding stock by proper i'm
munization. Though sanitation, quar-
antine, and other safeguards are helm
full in preventing hog cholera lossea
immunization is the most dependable
and positive method Of prevention and
Of checking outbreaks of the disease 70
Attention is called also to the Inn
portance of using pure and potent
serum and virus In proper doses.

full amount of new capital was sub

COUNTY AGENT WRITES
ON COTTON PRODUCTION

There are several important prob
lens which should he considered this
spring before definitely deciding the
acreage Of our cotton crop for the year
of 1927.
The present price of cotton means n
material decrease in acreage of the
cotton crop. Authorities tell us that
there will be a reduction of about 10
per cent in acreage of cotton this year
and about 80 to 40 per cent less ferti-
lizer used This will mean quite a
large decrease in fertilizer per acre
under our cotton crop
Would it not be best to reduce the
cotton acreage more than Is per cent
of last years crop and use fully as
much fertilizer per acre under the cot
ton we do plant? 1t is the increased
Weld per acre that reduces the cost of
production per acre thereby giving us
more profit. The lower the price of
cotton the more we should strive TO
make per acre in order to keep down
the cost of production per acre and get
some profit from our crop That
means we should reduce our cotton
acreage and fertilize heavy.
The State Agricultural Experiment
Station recommends under cotton for
the hill section Of Randolph County
$50 to 400 pounds per acre of 12-4-4
fertilizer and for the bottom land 300
pounds of 1914 fertilizer.
Farmers who would like to order a
car load of fertilizer in cooperative
shipment should see about it within
the next few weeks in order to give
time to get it here by planting time.
Yours for service,
W. b. Proctor, County Agent.
