Good Times Are Near.
United Press Dispatch.
Niew York, June BO. —Good
times are near for America, ac
cording to Sir George Paish, an
eminent London economist,
who in a cabled interview today
to the World, said there was no
fundamental reason for any de
pression. The American people
are enjoying a great income
which no one doubts will show
an enormous expansion as time
goes on. The main cause of the
depression is that investors of
both Europe and America have
lost their nerve.

£ Phone 2 58 “The Very Best of Every Thing
TIME TO CAN
YOUR SURPLUS
Crops Of Fruits And Vegetables
—4How To Save Hogs From
Cholera.
, Now is the time to begin to
. 7 think about utilizing the waste
fruits and garden crops that
cannot be sold or consumed at
home. Peaches, apples, toma
toes and other perishable crops
that get ripe and cannot be sold
are fine for canning. A home
canner can be bought for $10, 01
you can get bulletins that will
tell you how to can vegetables
at hon^e without even buying a
canner. If you decide to buy £
canner, get prices from your lo
cal merchant or write me and 1
• will give you the names of sev
eral manufacturers.
j have 1,000 bulletins on Can
ning fruits, vegetables and pre
serves, and 1000 on canning
home vegetables, and I will be
glad to send both to you. They
are valuable bulletins on how tc
take care of something that
otherwise we would lose.
Every county in Arkansas
ships canned goods in by the car
load, and we buy those things
that we could have canned at
home. We pay for the products,
i the freight and commissions,
and if canned at home, the only
thing we would have to buy is
the cans. One little girl last
year, canned more than 800 cans
of tomatoes and sold them be
fore all the work was done. If
we put up more than can be used
at home, there is always a mar
ket for good clean fruits and
vegetables- Write for the bul
letins or any information you
desire about taking care of the
products that are too plentiful
now but will be very scarce a
little later on.
Many sections of Arkansas
have had rain recently, to break
the dry spell, and some have not.
In either case the importance of
shallow cultivation should n$>t
be overlooked. Many crops have
been made, simply by proper
I cultivation. A farmer in North
■ Arkansas writes, “I have made
ja better crop this year than I
have since 1879. I prepared a
I seed bed and I have worked my
1 crop like it ought to be worked
! A dry shirt causes more
■droughts than anything else in
• Arkansas.” The season has
been unusual but crops should
not suffer so much if cultivated
properly- Continued shallow
cultivation is the only way to
hold what moisture there is now
in the soil. ■* I *
I have a great many letters
from farmers asking for help in
saving their hogs. Hog Cholera
is our worst hog disease. Write
for our bulletin on Hog Cholera
so you will recognize the dis
ease when it first appears. The

JOHN H. PAGE,
Commissioner of Agriculture
Rural Life Conference of the
Southwest.
To the Independent:
The Rural Life Conference of
the Southwest which convened
at Fayetteville, Ark,, was a suc
cess in every way. It was the
largest of its kind ever held
south of the “Mason and Dixon
line,” and second only to the con
ference in California last De
cember.
There were specialists repre
senting the United States De
partment of Agriculture, the
! Federal Bureau of Education,
,the State Board of Health, the
[Farm Demonstration authori
ties, the national and state or
ganizations of the Farmers’ Un
ion, and exhibits from the Rock
efeller Hookworm Commission
In fact, almost every organiza
tion within the Southland was
represented.
There was a course of daily
lectures on Rural Institutions by
Dr. Warren H. Wilson of New
York, on applied Christianity by
Dr. J. O. Smith of Little Rock,
on Rural Economics, by Dr.
C- H. Brough of the Arkansas
1 fniverxitv. nn thp Psvi'hnlntrv rtf
Religion by Dean J. R. Jewell,
two on Rural Schools by Hon. J.
L. McBrien of Washington, the
United States Specialist in Ru
ral Education, Hon. Jno. L.
Haines of Indiana. Hon. George
B. Cook and others, on Home
Economics by Miss Sarah Pet
tit, and on Woman’s Place In
The Rural Community My Miss
Eva Reichardt and Mi's. Ruth
erford of Meridian. Those who
delivered occasional lectures are
too numerous to mention.
This program, so we were in
formed, by the United States
Department of Education, was
the strongest ever offered in the
history of our country. The in
terest manifested by the teach
ers and ministers of our state
was evident that they appreci
ated the opportunity which the
state offered them in this con
ference. And in my opinion, it
is through these conferences
that the rural life of the South
will be greatly improved, and
we hope that the boys and girls
of our country may have an op
portunity for education and so
ciety second to none.
A word to the boys and girls
of Jackson county: If you have
