Prospects are looking good tor an
oil gusher near Foreman. Oil sand
lias been discovered at a depth of 630
feet. If oil should prove to be in pay
ing quantities at this depth, wells
would be sunk at a rapid speed. There
•are only a very few fields in the Un
ited States that has oil at that depth.
The Foreman prospect well is being
financed and worked by Foreman cap
ital which is proof that it is not a lease
peddling proposition. Give us a few
more prospect wells, and some of them
will hit a gusher.
The forty boys and girls that left
Monday evening for Magnolia to at
tend the short course, were a happy
bunch. Despite the heavy rain that was
falling, they left with lots of fun and
noise. No doubt they will have a very
profitable trip as well as a very peas
ant one. These club boys and girls
look forward to the short course from
year to year. They mean to get all
they can out of farm life. Give them
a hand.

This week is a busy week with the

i MINERS REFUSE TO
| RETURN TO WORK
1 Operators to Complain to l nlon
Against Unathorized Spadra
Strike.
Fort Smith, July 18.—Efforts to end
the “vacation” of several hundred coal
,! miners employed in the Spadra field
. • was unsuccessful today, and coal oper
. ators announced they woud appeal to
the International organization of the
miners to end the strike. At a con
■ ference of representation of both sides
. the operators asked district officials
; to order the men to return to work,
promising to investigate their com
plaint when the men went hack. One
! district official agreed to order the men
! to return on condition that the opera
tors would immediately reinstate for
mer prices for supplies. This the op
erators declined to do, accordng to of
■fjeieis ot' the mine workers.
The “vacation” has been in prog
ress for 10 davs and miners say it i3
due to the operators’ charging exces
sive prices for supplies that were not
, covered in the recent bituminous coal
investigation bv President Wilson’s
'• commission, and t.hev sa.v the prices
are to be regulated by an agreement
•nr.de by the onerators in 1917 when
a similar grievance caused a strike
in the field. At that time the joint
board of miners and operators refus
ed to decide the case on the ground
that the board had no jurisdiction. It
was referred back to thrt local anions
for settlement, and an agreement was
reached. This agreement, the miners
sav, has been recently violated by the
operators’ Increasing the*'* -prices for
supplies with the result that the min
ers went on “vacation.”
EFFIE LEX A McGJtAW,
Richmond, July 19.— (Special)—On
November 26, 1918, God gave to Mr.
and Mrs. W, P. McGraw Jr. a beauti
ful baby girl, christened Effie Lena
McGraw. She was of a sweet, happy,
disposition and soon won her way into
the hearts of every one with whom
she came in contact. O, how we loved
her, and how hard to let her go. Yet
illness came to this dear little girl and
although parents, friends and physic
ians gave her the best skill andi at
tention. Although love fought for the
little life, and though our hearts were
breakinug, we had to give her back to
the wonderful God, who gave her July
14, 1920. She was sick only two
weeks but O, how she suffered, Now,
she is beyond all pain, what a cheering
that to loved ones to know that the
dear little one is now safe in the arms
of Jesus, where pain and death can
never come.
Effle Lena was buried on July 15th
at 9 a. m. in the family plot in Rich
mond cemetery. The services were
conducted by Rev. Rowland of Horatio,
a former pastor at the family residence
and quite a number of relatives and
friends of Mr. and Mrs. McGraw,
came from Ashdown to attend the
burial. The floral offerings were
I beautiful, but not. more so than the
little form in the little white casket,
Little Effle Lena leaves only one
siser, Nanette besides her parents and
i other relatives, besides a host of
trends.
To the sorrowing parents and rela
tives. we extend our deepest heart
felt sympathy. How much richer
their lives have been because of this
dear little life which was lent for so
! short a time. And how much we must
; look for comfort. He only can help,

I The Little River Circuit Court is
j again dealing out justice this week.
iThe criminal docket is' very light this
! court, which goes to show that we are
getting to be better citizens. Only a
few years ago it was impossible for
the court to finish the business of try
ing criminals in the two weeks time
allotted to them. The time is nearing
when court will b a very rare occas
ion. One of the causes of this is pro
hibition. Take away the whiskey and
! we have fewer courts and better citi
zens.
After a long rest the baseball boys
have again taken on a game. The boys
needi the support of the business men
of the town, and without that they can
not do justice to the national past time.
The rain that fell Monday afternoon
was a heavy one, and will be a great
benefit to the corn and hay crops, but
many are beginning wonder when It
will quit. Too much rain will start the
boll weevil to working, The weevil
has not damaged cotton to any great
extent this year. With the proper
weather condition. Little River county
will have a good crop despite the late
spring and heavy rains.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING MEANS
BETTER PRODUCTION.
I r
The increased' price, or the larger
net returns from the cooperative mar
keting of farm products has been
given undue prominence. No doubt
better prices have been received and
these may have been and probably
were amply sufficint to make the ef
forts profitable, but the Indirect re
i suits are even more valuable.
I Better marketing and especially co
! operative marketing Is the greatest
aid to better production. When a pro
duct from several farms Is pooled or
marketed collectively, the quality of
the individual farmer’s product and
the specific defects which it may have
are brought to the attention of the
producer in the most forceful way
possible. He suffers a reduction in
price, and the fact that his neighbors
receive a better price on the same
market and under identical conditions
drives home the lesson/ that the qual
ity and condition of a product deter
' mine largely its market value. When
| he markets his product separately he
may excuse or explain a lower price
on the ground that the market was off
the day he sold, or that some prejudice
or combination was responsible for his
failue to get as much as received by
a neighbor, but if his product is
marketed along with that of his neigh
bor by the s^ie person and under id
entical market conditions and brings
a lower price, and this Is repeated' a
few times the lessen is surely driven
home that the quality or condition of
the product is responsible for the diff
erence in price received. This effect
surely comes and is driven home with
force no matter where the grading is
done. Collective marketing is the one
sure and effective means of securing
the production of better products and
the putting of them in the best condi
tion to mee market demands.^. -
But perhaps a still more important
result of community or cooperative
marketing is the force which it ex
erts toward securing uniformity in va
riety and kind of products.
The statement is often made that it
is of great value to any community to
produce the same variety of kind of
product and in large quantity. For
instance, a half dozen men pool their
cotton crops, The fifty bales are
marketed together, but of course each
bale is sold on its own merits. There
may be one bale that at persent would
bring seventy-five cents or one dollar
a pound and others that would bring
thirty cents, forty cents, and -sixty
cents a pound. The man who sells
the bale for thirty cents is much more
likely to look into the reasons why
his neighbor’s bale brought seventy
five cents or one dollar a pound, sep
arately for thirty cents and heard that
his neighbor got one dollar a pound.
He learns that there is a defference in
the cotton besides its color and free
dom from dirt, ana the length and
quality of staple play a part. The re
sult is that he is lekely to try the var
iety which brings the much better
price for his neighbor, and this co
operative or collective marketing in a
short time is likely to lead to the cem
munity’s arriving at a conclusion as to
what are the best varieties to grow
on their sous and in their section.
The advantages to the farmers in a
community or county growing similar
varieties of cotton, corn and other
crops, raising the same breeds of live
stock, and in putting their products
on the market in unform condition and
quality and those who have not learn
ed the lesson in the way which col
lective marketing surely teaches it.
These lessons of the value of unfor
inity, quality and quantity in the pro
ducts market^! are worth much more
to the farmers of the South than any
increase in price which they will re
ceive through cooperative marketing,
even though we admit the fact that the
direct increase in price alone is suffi
cient to make such marketing desir
able—The Progressive Farmer,

THOROUGH SKIMMING NECESSARY
IN MAKING GOOK SYRUP.
The quicker the syrup is cooked the
brighter the syrup. Every time you
cool your evaporator it darkens the
syrup.
As good a juice strainer as you can
find is crabgrass packed in the bottom
of the barrel; use a burlap sack over
the barrel. The barrel should be
emptied at least once a day.
Hut the most important idea is to
skim your juice thoroughly, When
ready to drain from pan, have a good
strainer. I use a flour sifter.
As a last idea I planted three-fourths
of an acre th<j 27th of last June. In
October. I made 189 gallons and lost
some can on account of the extremely
v o;, fall. I sold it easily at $1.50.
I think with the sugar shortage as
it is. it will pay every banner to r iise
