Industries of Arkansas are de-
voted almost entirely to extracting
or processing products which orig
mate within the states boundaries.
There are % oil and gas producing
fields in six southern Arkansas
counties and 16 gas fields in FIVE
western counties. Petroleum re-
serves are estimated at more than
300 million barrels and reserves of
natural gas at over 1000 billion
cubic feet.
Climate, scenic attractions,
recreatiOnal facilities and cura-
tive waters combine to bring
great numbers of tourists and
health seekers to Arkansas
each year. The states most
widely known attraction is Hot
Springs National park, contain
ing Al hot springs with temper
atures up to 145 degrees.
Adjacent to Hot Springs are Lakes
Catherine and Hamilton with more
than $50 miles of shoreline. Annual
spring racing meets are held at Oak
Lawn jockey club. Golf is played
the year around.
The states scenic highlands in
clude two mountain groups, the
Ozarks and Ouachitas, both cas-
lily accessible. State parks provide
exceptional recreational facilities.
SpOrtsman's Paradise.
Arkansas duck shooting is ma
tionally famous. Rice fields in the
prairie section attract mallards dur
ing the winter migration. Deer,
quail and turkey provide plenty of
hunting, and fishing may be en-
joyed in the numerous lakes and
streams. "Float fishing" on the
White river and some of it's tribu-
taries is unique Arkansas pastime,
which is becoming increasingly pop
ular with visitors.
81 am fully convinced that Arkan-
sas is destined to become one OF
the great Fairgrounds of America"
said Franklin D. Roosevelt at
Bonneville, Ark, when he visited
there in 1888.
And many of the rest of us who
have visited that state can heartily
endorse the late Presidents wordsl

De Soto's Futile Quest for Gold
Brought Exploration of Arkansas

turned south, passed over the Bos-
ton mountains, crossed the Arkan-
sas river near Dardanelle Rock, and
came into the land of the Cayas.
Here, De Soto fell seriously i'll, and
a friendly Indian chief brought him
to lake of very hot water" where
he was healed. This lake was
doubtless the now famous Hot
Springs.
On Ouachita river near the
springs, De Soto and his party found
salt which the Indians gathered and
sold to their neighbors. The ex-
plorers spent the winter of 1541,
severe one, in an Indian village on
the Ouachita. De Soto's faithful in
terpreter, Juan Ortiz, died. Dis
heartened by not finding gold and
losing so many of his men, De Soto
resumed his journey south in the
spring of 1912. He followed the Qua
chita to the Red river and then
went downstream to the MISSISSIPPI
pi. Exposure brought on a fever
and De Soto died, his survivors
burying him in the great river he
had discovered.
Spain profted little by the ex-
plorations of De Soto. Through her
negligence, the Mississippi valley
had remained unsettled for nearly
a century and half. But while
Spain slept, the French were active.
After securing the lands bordering
on the St. Lawrence river, France
had pushed southwark along the
Mississippi.

Arkansas was one of the earliest
of the Mississippi states to be ex-
plored. The first white man to
touch Arkansas soil was Her
nando de Soto, the Spanish ex-
plorer who discovered the Missis-
sippi river. In May, 1541, he came
to a river SO broad that he called
it, in Spanish, the Rio Grande, or
great river. The Indian name for
the stream, Meschacebe, father
of waters" has come down to us,
however, as Mississippi. De Soto
crossed the river to the Arkansas
side.
For nearly a year, the last year
of his life, De Soto Travelled over
what is now Arkansas, through
vast wilderness inhabited by wild
animals and equally wild savages.
Beginning near the mouth of the
White river, De Soto went up the
western shore of the Mississippi
beyond the mouth of the St. Francis
river, then journeyed southwest
until he came to the Arkansas rlv-
er. There is tradition that he was
defeated in battle with the In
dams near where Jacksonport now
stands, and that he was compelled
to turn north again.
Learning that there were noun
tains to the northwest, he continued
toward northeast Arkansas where
he hoped to find gold, travelling
through swamps and dense for
ests and crossing mountain streams.
Disappointed in not finding gold. he

sas was a part of Louisiana from
1904 to 1872, and from 1872 to 1919
a part of Missouri. In 1886, Arkan-
sas became a state.
Arkansas is a great agricultural
state, with soil new and fertile.
Levees, bitches and canals have
redeemed aIuvial lands along the
st. Francis, the Arkansas and Mis-
sissippi rivers. The state has an
almost inexhaustible timber supply,
with forests of pine and hard
woods covering nearly two-thirds of
the state. At Eureka, Heber and
Hot Springs, health-giving waters
have long been used.

be judged by hearsay. If you
have been reading stale joke
books, or listening to radio
comics, you may have some
preconceived and erroneous ideas
about one of the greatest of the 48
states. It is time for you to reap
praise Arkansas.
A few weeks ago I made an auto
mobile trip through Arkansas, fol-
lowing the general course of u. S.
Highway No. 81 from Poplar Bluffs,
Mo-, to Texarkana. We visited Corn
ing, Walnut Ridge, Newport,
Searcy, Little Rock, Arkadelphia
and other towns.
We saw fields of rice, corn, cot
ton and other staple crops on
land that was black and rich. We
heard the sharp ring of saws biting
into both soft and hard woods. We
heard factory whistles, too, and saw
hundreds of men carrying dinner
pals. Horses, mules and tractors
furnished power for farming,
while huge trucks hauled loads
of giant watermelons, fat cattle,
milk, oil, lumber, logs, poles, crates
of fruits and berries and other
products. Fruit trees were heavily
laden, the boughs bending low.
Progress is Evident.
We Travelled over splendid paved
roads, across rich coastal plains
and through mountain scenery as
majestic as any traveller could ever
want. There were fine homes, big
barns and well-kept acres on either
side of the road. There was con-
struction everywhere, for Arkan-
sas is building new homes, stores,
garages and other structures. Steel,
cement, brick and bright new
lumber were going into those build
ings. New homes, in every stage
of construction, were to be seen.
Some were near-mansions, while
others were simple structures.
Barns, sheds and fences were going
up too.
When we talked to the people of
we found them friendly,
courteous, intelligent. They smiled
easily, were proud of their state,
and sure of its future. Tourists who
had visited every part of the Ozark
and Ouachita forest and mountain
areas in the northwestern part Of |
the state as well as the lower coast |
al plains in the southeast had seen
Just what we saw construction,
progress and resolute faith.
First settlers of Arkansas were
he Indians, the Quapaws who |
lived south of the Arkansas river |
and the Osages who lived north |
If it. They called the land Akansa,
out somewhere along the way an
r" was inserted and a final "s''
added. 1t is pronounced Ar-kan-
Jaw.
After discovery by De Soto in 1541,
Arkansas was tossed like ball
,etween Spain and France. The few
,eople who came to the area were
oldiers and traders. There were
70 farmers and few merchants. No
permanent settlements were made
Except around military posts.
After the United States came into
ossession of Louisiana territory,
Arkansas, the country
Jas settled rapidly by Anglo-Saxon
ioneerS.
Territory Formed.
In 1919, Arkansas was organized
S a separate territory, and the cap
al was moved from Arkansas
'ost to Little Rock. incidentally,
little Rock was so named because
f a ledge of rocks projecting into
ne river and to distinguish it from
Zig Rock, about three miles up
he river.) Population was about

A most interesting feature of this
grazing program is the fact that
Johnson grass seed are purchased
from Texas and sown at the rate of
25 pounds per acre following the oat
crop. These grasses are used for
grazing and for hay. 1t is cut from
two to three times per year and
produces from 2 to 2h tons of hay
per acre. Some time this crop is left
uncut for winter grazing in its dry,
dead stage.
They say that lime is needed by
all of our soils in the South and
especially in Mississippi. This is no
doubt true, but it is not necessary
to pay $1,000 to $500 a ton for

the AAA for approximately $1.00 a
ton. Besides, when farmer puts out
400 pounds of a 5-10-5 mixture fer

County Agent
BY I. w. Carson. County Agent

A visit was made on May first
to Alabama Black Belt Experimen,
Station at Marion junction where
pasture work via livestock is being
carried on. This station consists OF
1116 acres, which is blocked off in
different size pastures for expert
mental work in connection with beef
and dairy cattle.
K. G. Baker, the efficient super
intendent of this station, told us that
work was started there in 1891 and
experiments were outlined that
would take care of the kind of farm
ing done at that time. Work was
done the first 10 years on various
field crops, but at the end of that
period, it was found that the pro-
duction of cotton, corn and some
other field crops were Improbable
on their soil types. 1t was at that
time when the station changed over
to experiments on pastures and live
stock.
The first unit shown us by Mr..
Baker was herd of Is grade milk
cows which were maintained on 80
acres of land; Is percent in oats, Is
percent in wild winter peas and so
percent in permanent pasture. These

cows cost when purchased $500 to
$4,000 each and are producing B
grade milk. These cows are bred so
they viii come fresh April first.
They are MIXED for nine months
and then they rest three months,
January, February and March. These
cows produce an average of 1000
pounds of milk per year. At the
present time % are producing rs
gallons per day. They are wintered
with the use of $3.50 worth of cot
tonseed meal and a pasture of oats
and wild winter peas. In the last
IL months they have produced $3,-
016.00 worth of milk.
Mr.. Baker, the superintendent,
puts it this way. He furnishes $3.50
worth of feed and $3.50 worth of
fertilizer per cow per year with this
setup. He is liberal user of phos-
phate and potash. Since the soil the
station is located on contains plenty
lime, none is applied. He plants his
oats in September and fertilizes
them at that time with 200 pounds
of nitrate fertilizer and 400 pounds
of 16 percent phosphate. Wild win
ter peas came from voluntary
growth, which means the seed fall
