Farmer Gets Too Much Advice.
There has been such a flood
of gratuitous advice to the far
mers from so many sources late
ly that the farmers are doubt
less thoroughly disgusted. rl he
great number of letters, circu
lars, posters, dodgers, interviews
and public speeches from and by
men who know less about farm
ing than anything else, that (
have deluged the columns of the i
press for the past six weeks, j
has been enough to disgust the j
farmers with what they term j
“arm chair” city farmers for all j
time to come. Following hard

ence called by the governor and
held in Little Rock, there has
been a regular flood of advice to J
the farmers to diversify their
crops.
1 hope the real farmers who
farm with their hands instead
of their mouths, so to speak, will
have pity on the city fellows who j
have been giving so much ad- j
vice on diversification. Doubt- j
less a good many of them who j
knew nothing about diversifica- j
lion thought the farmers were
more ignorant than they were,
which to my own certain knowl
edge is by no means the case.
As a matter of fact, I would like
to see a lot of these bankers and

business men stood up in a row
and taught a lot of things by
the farmers. The farmers of
Arkansas are just about as well
up on farming as the bankers j
and business men are on busi- i
ness, and can come a little nearer j
to teaching them, than being j
taught by them. In addition to j
this, it can be said to the credit
of the farmers, that they as a j
class, are a reading and think
ing people, and better informed
about the functions of govern-!
ment, Federal and State, than
the bankers and business men,
and this is said with no disre- ^
spect to the latter.
All this campaigning to teach
the farmers how to feed them
selves is gi’atuitous, uninvited
and uncalled for advice. The far
mers are not such simpletons as
to not know how to raise their
own meat and bread, and corn,
oats and hay, to feed themselves
and their stock. They know
how and they know the nec<?ssi
tv. What they want from the j
bankers and business men is,
help to hold their present cotton ;
lerop, and keep it out of the
hands of the speculators. After
the cotton crop gets out of the
hands of the farmers it will do
them no good for the price to go
up. What the farmers need is j
substantial help now in time of j
need, and not a sluice of advice.
It will be an everlasting ^ dis
grace if the banks of the South
let the cotton get out of the
hands of the farmers for want
of financial help, and then 1 rn -
nish the money to the specula!
or with which to hold and hand
le the crop and get the advan
tage of the higher prices that
may come later. The high
sounding letters of advice to the
farmers instead of substantial
help, while well meant and con
scientiously given, is not going
to meet the full expectations of
the agricultural classes. They
have asked for bread and been
given a stone.
A campaign is being organized
to teach the farmers how to di
versify and feed themselves. No
campaign has ben organized to
furnish the money or means to
the farmers to enable them to di
versify. It is money and credit
the farmers need now, much
worse than advice.

malaria, doctor,” remarked a sallow
faced, sickly looking man, entering a
' prominent physician’s office the other
day.
The doctor stepped to his medicine
case, took down a couple of bottles, mixed
a preparation which he handed to the
patient with the customary advice to
| ‘shake well and follow directions,’ and
| resumed his seat.
I ‘‘Such cases are frequent,” replied the
! doctor in answer to a question. ‘‘The
| warm days and damp, chilly nights are
! certain malaria breeders and are most
1 serious in those who have neglected to
1 keep their stomach, liver and bowels in
; good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malarial
g rm tin i\ s, and it is from this class
that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright’s
1): sense, small pox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis
eases are prevalent.
The proper way to guard against the
malarial germ and the serious diseases
| which follow it is to got into good condi
tion by taking a reliable remedy that
will keep the bowels clear and the liver
healthy, and to continue with it at fre
j quent intervals during the sickly season,
j A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or
four times a week will do all of this, be
sides stimulating the digestion, improv
ing the appetite and keeping the bodily
energy at the highest pitch. c
Prickly Ash Bitters is known every
where as a system tonic and bowel regu
lator. It not only removes all traces of
malarial poison from the system, but
tones up the vital organs, gives new
strength and vigor, makes the body
strong and the brain active.
“1‘rlckly Adi Bitters is the best all-around
mediciue for the family I ever used. During the
past teu years I have always kept it in my bouse.
Whenever any of my famify show signs of tnala
lia, kidney trouble, iudigestiou or constipation
a few doses is all that is needed to make then
well and hearty again.—W. H. McWui.iam*

Payne Relief Fund Grows
The fund for the relief of Mrs.i
James Payne and children, left
destitute by the murder of the
fearless officer who was the head
of this family, continues to
grow and is meeting with the
ready and willing response of a
sympathetic and appreciative
public.
Jewel Best had first taken up
the relief movement, raising
about $70 which was included in
-the list first published, except
$5.00, donated by him, mention
of which was accidentally omit
ted. Mrs. Best has also inter
ested herself in the children and
■has secured much help for them
in the way of clothing, to which
the public is appealed to assist.
Letters and statements re
ceived show that the movement
meets with the enthusiastic sup
part of our citizens, one of
which is published:
