COUNTY CAMPAIGN
FOR DIVERSIFICATION
Of Crops Makes Good Showing
In First Two Townships To
Send In Reports.
To make our living on the
farm and reduce cotton to a
surplus crop is meeting with the
active support and co-operation
of the farmers of Jackson coun
ty, who,are manifesting their
progressiveness and realization
of the demoralization and ruin
that follows a one-crop country
in many ways.
The recent quorum court not
only voted $1,000 appropriation
for demonstration work, but ad
ded another $500 for a canning j
club demonstrator and while
many other counties were tak-1
ing a backward step and ‘cur
tailing this expense, the Jack-j
son county quorum court recog
nized the greater need of agri-1
cultural agents to assist our
people in new and diversified
crops.
Quorum court also authorized j
and requested each member to
send in a report to this paper of
the progress of this diversifica- j
tion work, which the Independ
ent is not only glad to publish,
but to summarize and total for :
the county, so that other coun
ties may see the progress Jack
son, the sixth cotton countv in
Arkansas is making in diversi-1
fication of crops.
500 ACRES OF WHEAT, RYE
AND OATS.
Eight Mile, Ark., Nov. 3, 1914. j
To the editor of the Independ-!
ent:
-T'hem was a resolution adopt
ed by the Jackson county quor
um court on the 29th day of Oc
tober, as follows: That each
justice of the peace from every
township in the county was to
report to your paper the number
of acres of wheat, rye and win- j
ter oats that was planted and
being planted in their respective
townships, so I will report for
Cow Lake township.
Number of acres planted 'and
being planted in wheat, about
300.
Rye and winter oats, about
200.
Total number of acres in
grain., 500.
* have also made an estimate
jof the number of acres of land
in cultivation in Cow Lake town
ship. My estimate is 3,000 a
cres, about half of this 3,000
t being planted in cotton last
spring. Now the reduction of
500 acres from the 1,500 plant
ed in 1914, would bring the num
ber of acres down to 1,000 to be
planted in 1915, in cotton. This
means not over one-third of the
dand in cultivation in the town
ship, will be planted in cotton
! in 1915.
Now, if every township in
Jackson county will line up with
Cow Lake, we will make our
county one of the banner coun
ties of the state. Other town
ships come on with your reports
and use all your influence In
the diversification of our next
crop, and we can live at home
and board at the same place.
Respectfully,
W. N. NANCE.
250 ACRES IN CACHE.
To The Independent.
The farmers of this neighbor
hood met Saturday night to dis-1
cuss crop planting for another
year.
It was reported at that meet-1
ing by various farmers that !
there has already been planted i
250 acres of rye, oats and wheat,
including a few acres of crim-,
son clover.
They also agreed to reduce
their cotton crop one-third from
what they planted this year. It
was unanimously voted that we
would appreciate those agricul-1
ture experts visiting our neigh-'
borhood and lecturing for us. .!
