Why Is This?
In a grocery store in Little ;
Rock a few days ago the writer ,
saw goods on the shelves and in
receptacles as follows:
Can of corn labeled “Packed in <
Maine.” 1
Honey in jars labeled “Packed
in California ”
Syrup cans plainly marked
“Put up in Iowa.”
Green apples in boxes labeled
“Packed in Oregon.”
Lettuce marked “Grown in Cal
ifornia.” 1
Canned tomatoes labeled
“Packed in New York.”
Meal in sacks marked “Milled
in Missouri.” ;
Lard in cans labeled “Packed
in Chicago.”
Bacon branded “Packed in O
maha”
Beet sugar marked “Manufac
tured in Nebraska.” <
Strawberry preserves labeled
“Packed in New Jersey.”
Canned peas labeled “Packed ,
in Michigan.” ;
Canned beans labeled “Pack- 1
id in Massachusetts.”
Sausage branded “Manufac
tured in Milwaukee ” <
Jams labeled “Packed in Eng
land.” '
Should the people of Arkansas ;
ouy food from the other states (
when Arkansas can grow and
pack and manufacture her own '
food products? Cost of food is
high enough as it is without go- ]
ing to Nebraska, Maine, Califor
nia, Oregon or England for our
supply. The merchants are
compelled to keep these goods in
stock because Arkansas cioes noi
furnish them in sufficient quan
tity to feed the population of
this state.
A1 of the articles enumerated
above can be grown and packed
or manufactured in Arkansas.
The fertile lands of this state
are capable of feeding all of Ar
kansas and a large portion of
the other part of the country.—
Arkansas Democrat
To Extend Federal Aid.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Dec. 18.—Press
ure is to be brought in a system
atic way for the passage of the
Smith-Leven bill now pending
in both houses of congress. The
bill is known as Hoke Smith’s
Hobby, and its purpose is to pro
vide funds for the extension of
Agricultural interests of the va
rious states.
By its terms the Agricultural
College in each state is to re
ceive $10,000, and in addition
thereto, an amount based upon
population for agricultural ex
tension. Under the census of
1910, Arkansas would receive
$93,391, provided the legislature
appropriated an equal amount
for the same purpose. Arkansas
— - . ■ r
vould have for the extension oi j
igriculture the sum of $176,782
innually
W- R. Wheelock, director of
Agricultural Extension at I‘a>
•tteville writing to the boosters
>f the state, says:
“It is the plain duty of every
Arkansas citizen to let his rep
resentative and both senators
Tom his state know that he is
ooking to them to support the
neasure, which, if passed, will
n time make Arkansas the gar
len sopt of the nation. For
Arkansas the Smith-Leven bill
is the most important legislation
;hat has been proposed for many
fears.”
