uclivcring Rice to the Mill, a Typical Fall Scene.
A spr-tion of country in Arkansas has been almost wholly neglected and undeveloped—that was often referred to as the “Cattlemen’s Paradise”— with a very limited and scattered population. .has been transformed, since (he discovery that the soil was especially and peculiarly adapted to the raising of a particularly fine quality of rice. It is now producing a yield far above the average and has grown and developed and prospered until the population in the towns, as well as the rural communities, has doubled and, in some places, even trebled Within a brief score of years. These people have gotten together about 80 per cent of all the rice growers of that state and have organized the Arkansas Rice Growers’ Co-operative association. The section is fairly buzzing with prosperity. Everybody has money and lots of it. Store after store has sprung up in the towns. Towns themselves have become regular beehives of activity. Almost as if by magic, this country was, in the course of a few years, transformed from a sparsely settled and almost entirely undeveloped section into a rich, productive, prosperous country, with an investment and equipment running upwards into the thirty millions of dollars. Rice mills have sprung up throughout the section, representing another two and onehalf million investment. Crop Was Overlooked. The rice farmers of Arkansas had never given much thought to what happened to their product after they had threshed it and sold it ‘‘in the rough” (the natural state) to the mills, which proceeded to mill it and get it in shape for the ultimate consumer. As had been previously stated, a big investment was put into mills in Arkansas, following the establishment of the industry in that state; and, while prices were good, the rice farmers did not bother themselves about the fortunes that others made from the handling of their product. The result was a very elaborate system of handling the product, after it had left the farmers’ hands; which necessarily took a heavy toll from the profits in the product. There was a long, expensive list of rice buyers, rice graders, millers, and
so on; and these all had to be taken care of in handsome style, whether the farmer made money, or lost money, or whatever happened to him. Almost without exception, the rice growers had the habit of making their crops each year on borrowed money; and when the rice industry faced the financial situation of the latter part of 1920 there was a panic in all circles in the rice sections. At this point the farm bureau came into Arkansas and abruptly told the rice farmers of Arkansas, surrounded as they were by the wreck and ruins of their industry, that with a proper system the rice industry of Arkansas, and of the whole country, could be revived, rebuilt and put on a real foundation—a structure that would abide through the years. That system, said the farm bureau, was “Co-operative Commodity Marketing.” It was thus that the Arkansas Rice Growers’ Cooperative association of Stuttgart, Ark., was born, under the most depressed, the most unfavorable, the most difficult conditions that ever faced any men anywhere. Membership Doubled. The membership of the Arkansas Rice Growers’ Co-operative association has doubled itself In the course of the first season, and they are a wellpleased set of men who make up the association. These rice farmers are finding use for their organized strength and they are demonstrating the fact that they have the ability to be their own business managers—that the reason they have gotten so very little of the consumer’s dollar is because the handling of the “business end” of their business lias been in the hands of others than their own. The Arkansas rice industry has been restored by this co-operative association, which has re-established it on a solid, substantial basis, and blazed the trail for the salvation of the American rice industry. The first year of organization for the co-operative marketing of the rice has resulted in better prices to growers. Prospects for the second year are better still, and the future holds promise of fulfillment through the organization of every hope and dream of the rice growers. '
LONG STAPLE COTTON !N SHORT SHIPMENTS
Experts Unearth 142 Bales, Representing Additional $4,890 to Growers. Through expert grading the Alabama Farm P.ureau Cotton association lias found 142 bales of long staple cotton in the shipments of short cotton handled to date by the organization this season. Based on quotations of October 5, this represents an additional $4,890 to the cotton growers. Out of 19,402 bales graded this fall only 1,835 are below middling in grade, Heretofore, before the advent
Experts Grading Cotton.
of the association, cotton was generally bought as “middling” and the grower informed by the buyer if the grade did not show that good. Other information as to grade was not always given. The grading showed 2,579 bales of good middling, 6,413 of strict middling and 6,638 of middling. Other grades showed insignificant figures in the total. This does not represent total bale receipts. Steadied and influenced by the presence of the Farm Bureau Cotton associations throughout the Soujh there has been no “fall slump” ingfche;
market this season. Cotton has been picked and baled more rapidly this season than at any time in the last 14 years. Also there has been the constant threat of war in Europe this fall. Despite these influences, the price has held and appears to have an upward tendency. The Alabama Farm Bureau has bought an additional 3,000 tons of nitrate, bringing the total to 10,000 tons, representing an investment of more than $500,000. This saves the farmer several dollars a ton on fertilizers.
LEGHORN HENS ftS ‘DODGERS’
Mayor King of Carson, Iowa, Doesn't Favor Heavy Breeds Where Traffic Is Heavy. W. W. King, mayor of Carson, Iowa, and well-known farmer and chicken fancier, believes that the Leghorn chicken is the best “dodger” in the chicken family. He says that if farmers living along the main traveled highways will keep the small active egg-producing breeds of poultry instead of the large types that are so common, the losses due to the rush of (he automobile traffic will be practically eliminated. Mr. King’s homestead is along the Iowa shortline where many autos run. Never but once in his knowledge did he lose one of his chickens beneath the wheels of an automobile, but all along lie has seen dead poultry before other farm houses. The heaviest losses occur where the clumsy, rather inactive hen Is kept.
POPCORN RECORD IS UNIQUE Mrs. Lincoln Warner of Cedar Township, Iowa, Obtains 245 Pounds
From One Ear.
Two hundred and forty-five pounds of popcorn from one ear of seed is the record made this season by Mrs. Lincoln Warner of Cedar township, Iowa. Writing of her experience she says: “I wonder who can beat this for a record? This spring I planted seed from one ear of popcorn. The ear measured ten and one-half inches long. I have just gathered the corn and found the yield to be 245 pounds. ^There are 922 ears. Some of them ^pleasure eleven inches In length, ,,

The total production was 675.000,000 bushels more than last year and 400,000,000 more than the average production during the live-year period, 1909-1913.
