because of a better undertone in
business, Eudaly pointed o u t.
Then, too. there is a correlation
between prices for beef cattle and
dairy animals, and indications
point to a favorable market for
beef.
A third reason for the expected
strong market is that the number
of milk cows has been getting
smaller because of the. droughts of-
1934 and 1936 Since 1920 through
1933, the number of milk cows has
been on the increase, but the bu-
reau estimates that we will have
fewer dairy animals on the first of
the year than on any January since
1932. No great increase is expected
before 1939 or 1940.
Eudaly felt that the next year
or two should be a favorable time
to raise dairy heifers, because a
good market would likely be ready

BSSSS-5®FARM OCCUPANTS INTERESTED IN
By GREGG HOWARD
This is Monday morning and it
is raining and things look rather
.blue but all this is to be expected
and will work out for our good in
the long run.
I During the recent open weather
the farmers have done quite a lot
of work toward another crop. It’s
really interesting to note the faith
of the agriculturist as he goes
about his work with the expecta-
tion of a harvest in the future. Life
is a game of chance; the business
man risks his investment and labor
with a hope of profit sufficient to
maintain himself and family, the
man who works for wages has
faith in the success of his em-
ployer and the former risks every-
thing with hopes of success. The
success of all our efforts lies in
the blessing of God on our efforts.
We are nearing Thanksgiving
and each of us should stop long
enough to count our blessings and
offer our thanks to the giver of all
good things. In fact every day
should be a day of Thanksgiving
but so many are like the Arkansas
hog which ate all day of the white
oak acorns and never so much as
looked up to see from whence they
came.

Mr. and Mrs. Wash Reeves a few
days ago I had a talk with a very
unique character, Mr. J. W. Per-
kins. father of Mrs. Reeves. Mr.
Perkins is a pioneer of this coun-
try and for a number of years was
wagon maker for Captain Gunter
who for so many years lived in
Sivells Bend. He is now 85 years
of age and incapacitated to do
much work but he keeps himself
busy at his trade as a wood work-
man. He has made almost all the
furniture that is used in the
Reeves home and specializes in
making chairs. With very few
hand tools he takes the native
wood, as oak and ash, and saws.
