FRIENDS HARD TO HANDLE — DON’T WELCOME SIN
LEARNING THE WAYS OF WOMEN
There used to be a man'who told
me I should marry again, and had'a
wcman picked out for me. Somehow
I could never squelch him, I had
known him so long, although I had
^ never intiipated to him that I needed
such advice. His assumption that I
needed his assistance was extremely
distasteful to me; no doubt he spcke
to women unknown to me, and niade
me ridiculous, but I couli not help my
self. Fortunately I am rid of this man,
as he died some time ago, but others
remain to keep me sufficiently humili
ated. One of the heaviest burdens of
my liff has always been numerous
persons among my acquaintances who
make a fool of me, and' I have never
been able to get rid of them. Atcord-
ing to my standards they are grossly
' impolite, but they seem to have
friends and prosper. I get along well
with active enemies; they at least only
scowl at me, and finally they quit talk
ing about me behind my back—but I
cannot handle some friends so success
fully.
I a little jirogress. Am I a fool for not
making more, or have I inherent
i weakness of body and mind that tie
I me hopelessly to sin ? Some say they
lean pray for strength, and receive it.
I Others say they are able to exercise
I their will, and overcome evil; but I
!have observed that both these boast
er- are usually as weak as I am; so
I generally so that their methods do not
i impress me ... Is sin the seed planted
n man to inevitably destroy him at
hty, or earlier? . . . Anyway, I am
ble to regulate it a little, to my ad-
antage, and shall persevere; I am
rill convinced that there is most com-
\>rt in life for those who resist sin as
.nuch as possible, instead of welcom
ing it.
I am firmly convinced that the most
sensible effort in which a man may
engage is to do the best he can with
such powers as Almighty God has giv
en him. There are so many weak and
unfortunate that I cannot help them
all, but may I help myself? . . I must
eat to live, and food is contrary and
malicious. At 9 a. m., when suffering
distress from unwise or overrating, I
resolve to do better thereafter, but
four hours later, with agreeable
friends at the table, I forget the sol
emn warning and resolution of the
morning . . . With my striving I make
I often think of a saying by Napol
eon: “I will be compelled to go to
school again,” he said, when contem
plating. his second marriage, “to learn
the ways of new woman.” . . . Na
poleon was a king; the girl he was. to
marry a princess of a subject nation.
She had been brought up in the simple
German way; she had been’assigned
to him for breeding purposes (and I
said to his subjects: “Learn my ways.”
but as a mere statement of fact) . . .
Why did he not say to this girl, as he
said to his subjects: “eLarn my ways.”
. . . Well, the most powerful man can
not do that with a woman. Let a king
arrange for intimate association with
a peasant woman, and he has another
war on his hands. He is no longer king
of his country or of himself. He has
divided his regal power; he may be a
Senate of the firm, but must wrangle
with the House before his acts are
constitutional.
Dairy Industry Showing Way To New
Prosperity To the Fanners Who Raise
• Own Feeds and Keep Qui^ty Stp^k
The dairy cow has brought prosper
ity to Faulkner County, Ark. Eight
years ago farmers in Faulkner were
coijtent with growing just medium
crops of cotton—and then the dairy
cow arrived.
Today the farmers of the county are
not only raising cows and doing a
thriving business in dairy products,
but they are also growing poultry,
hogs, fruit—and still they were able
to produce their largest cotton crop
in history, 33,000 bales, last year.
Three millions of dollars are on de
posit in savings and checking ac
counts in the three busy banks in the
town of Conway, the county seat.
What is more, the total amount of
bills receivable in these banks is the
lowest in the history of their business
with the farmers of the county.
The older men are not the only ones
interested in this new diversified
fanning, however. Take the case of
young Hobart Molton, who in six
months raised a ton litter of hogs
wkieh won the grand championship at
the county fair and many other hon
ors in the state. The boys and girls
arc becoming interested in tilling the
soil, too, now that the has
showed the way to prosperity.
, The, dairy farmers of the county
use big business methods in market
ing the products. All belong to’ the
Faulkner Members of the Rotary chib
for County Dairy associatron, which

operates a milk station and creamery
at Conway.
In 1921 the capacity of this plant
was exactly four cans of milk, but the
volume of business has increased to
110,000 a year by now.
The association originally had but
five members, but now there are 300
I men enrolled on its books.
I Checks paid, out to association mem-
|bers for their’products average be-
I tween $100,000 and $125,000 a year at
I this time.
! “I have never seen a finer crowd of
farmers who mean’ business, dairy
! business or any other kind of farm
: enterprise, than those who belong to
'the Faulkner association,” is the trib-
i ute of W. H. Woodley, dairy extension
specialist of Arkansas university, who
has probably done more than any oth
er man for the advancement of dairy
ing in that state.
“I was struck particularly by one
incident. Three or four of the farmers
have already gone together to pur
chase a corn cutter for the new silos
being built on nearly every farm in
the county. A corn harvester is too
expensive for one man to own, but
four men together can easily buy one.”
Business men in-the town of Con
way are interested in the new order of
farming in Fmlkner county, also.
For an example, they have agreed to
help 25 boys who have purchased
calves As a foundatioh for their own
herds.
“It is one of the biggest pieces of
constructive fanning ever attempted,”
is the comment of Mr. Woodley.
The business men often visit the
boys at their homes and inspect their
cows and chat with them about their
business affairs.
“Why, they act like boys them
selves,” one farmer said.
“The dairy cow is moving south
ward,” -declares Mr.* Woodley. “The
dairy industry once centered around
Wisconsin, but now it is m<^ving.
Why? Because the butterfat business
and cheaper feeds go together, and
if southern farmers raise, the cheaper
feeds on their own Tarms and break
into tbe dairying business they can
make it pay.
“There is only one section of the
United States which had more dairy
cows in 1926 than in 1925, and this
district includes Arkansas, Texas, Ok
lahoma, Missouri, and Louisiana. Here
is the center of the dairy industry of
the future.
“We are still importing milk into
the United States to some extent,
showing that consumption has not yet
been passed by production. It takes
30,000,000 more pounds of butterfat
a year to keep up with the increase
in consumption.”

Laurens County Cotton Crop
At this time of the year there is
quite a bit of interest being shown in
the cotton crop of this county, as to
its production. As a rule this county
has had sufficient amount of rain in
practically all sections throughout the
growing season for coiton production.
I find in traveling over the county
that Laurens county bids for a fair
production of cotton, due to a large
per centage of the acreage being top-
dressed and the cotton being left
close spaced in the row.
The boll weevil has done consider
able damage in fields where no poi
soning has been used, and splendid re
sults in fields where poisoning has
been used according to recommenda
tions are evident. It is very necessary
to continue poisoning at this season, if
the weevil is attacking bolls of cotton.
I predict that Laurens county will pro
duce 28,000 to 30,000 bales of cotton.
Last year she produced 25,201 bales, i
Within the next few days quite a
bit of cotton will be picked. This cot-
ion is green and should be handled
with care. It should be spread out in
the sunlight in order/ to dry, and to
cause the cotton to become fluffy. This
will cause a better ginned grade of
cotton, which w’ill give a-better staple :
for the mills, which in turn will give
a better chance for better prices. Some
farmers have a practice of grinning
their cotton damp, or green, in order
to make more pounds to be sold. In
most cases the farmer loses, simply
because the gins will not gin green or
wet cotton. No cotton buyer or mills
wish to have gin cut or green cotton.
The mills of Laurens county are in
terested in buying cotton from Lau
rens county this year, but the farmer
must look at this from a business
standpoint. If^the farmer does not
produce the staple that the mills can
use, and the quality, then do not blame
the mills for not buying. I know from
first-hand information that mills of
the county will buy the cotton if it is
of the proper length and staple and
properly ginned.
FieM Meetings
September 13th there will be five
field meetings held in Lauren?! county.
These meetings should be of interest
