At the meeting yesterday af- ternoon there were present most of the members of these committees, some of the men being members of both committees.
 Just what action will be taken on the matter, cannot be said yet, but Secretary J. l.. Caldwell of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade speaks as if there is no doubt in his mind that the wharf will be built ,and that too, in a comparatively short time. Definite action on the matter will probably be taken by the members - hA

OrabIy to Congress.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec 20.
(SpeciaD a result of one of the
most extensive and thorough going
field Investigations which the Gov
eminent has ever conducted, Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson, in his special
report just transmitted to Congress
recommends that the Government ac-
quire an area not to exceed 100000
acres in the White Mountains and
areas aggregating not more than s.
1000 acres in the Southern Appa-
lachians for the establishment of
National Forests. The average price
paid per acre is put at So for the
White Mountains and at $3.50 for the
Southern Appalachians The lands
which it is recommended that the
Government take over lie in the
Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Noun
tains of North Carolina and Tonnes
see, South Carolina and Georgia, in
the Allegheny Mountains of eastern
and southern West Virginia and wes-
tern Virginia, in the Cumberland
Mountains of eastern Kentucky, Ten
nessee, and northern Alabama, and
in the four main ranges of the White
Mountains, mostly in New Hampshire
Immediate action is urged by the
Secretary, since the natural re-
sources of both regions are being
seriously impaired by reckless lum-
boring and wasteful use.

BREWING COMPANY
PETITIONS CONGRESS
Says Wave Started in
South Will Fail.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec 20
(SpeciaD The liquor interests in
the District took their first step yes
terday to meet the promised assault
which, ii is understood, the prohibi-
tionists will make upon them through
Congress. A communication from
a brewing company was introduced
in the House as a petition by Repre-
sentative Gouldon, of New York
This petition declares that the liquor
dealers have the same rights as those
of any other business.
1--WE are not without the pale Of
legitimate enterprise, as our oppo-
nents would have you believe" says
the petition Having conducted our
business along fair lines, we respec-
lively submit that any further res
trictive measures aimed at it here
in the National Capital would be I'M
warranted. Why experiment on
Washington to find a panacea for
the ills, fancied or real, of other
localities?
You must realize the magnitude of
the prohibition question. Should pro-
hibition prohibit-and the reverse has
proved the rule wherever it has been
tried-tariffs would have to be re-
arranged in order to make up de-
felt in Federal revenues, for it must
be borne in mind that one-third Of
the governments income comes from
internal revenue.

Only l6 Years Supply

A liberal estimate gives the remain
ing stand of hardwoods of the coun-
try at 400 billion feet. enough to last
for only 16 years The report then
points out that it is the Appalachian
region. where 75,000,O00 acres are
primarily adapted to the production
of hardwood timber to which the
hardwood-using industries must look
for future supplies. 1t shows also
that under right management these
$4,000, 900 acres can produce each
year 9 billion cubic feet of wood, about
equal to present consumption Of
hardwood timber for all purposes.
Concerning water power. the report

Startling Facts

The report of the Secretary con-
tains the first complete study of con-
ditions in the Southern Appalachians
and White Mountains, and gives
some startling facts concerning the
amount of water power available, the
dependence of the nation upon the
Southern Appalachians for its flu
ture hardwood supply, and the enor-
nous reduction in the value for wa
ter-power and navigation of the
streams which would result from the
removal of the forests from the noun
tainS.

streams would increase this from
three to thirty times.
The Appalachian Mountains are
also important to navigation, since all
the water gathered by them flows
to the sea in nayigable rivers. The
forest is the one natural factor which
tends to equalize the flow of streams,
and which the forest supplemented by
a system of reservoirs the depth of
many streams could be materially in
creased

Water Power Secure

The many uses of the mountains
would be furthered rather than him
dered, and 10 per cent of all reve-
nues which the Government received
from the Forests would be given to
the counties in which the forests

the furniture, cooperage, wagon, ETC.,
which depend upon a supply of hard
woods, would be benefited incalcu-

depends upon water power would be

Coming down to a period less re-

as far north as Kansas. In New
Mexico he found a pastoral race dwell
ling in Pueb1os and practicing the gen.

fathers, perhaps as far back as in the
days of Abraham. Certainly their
agricultural methods were in no wise
different from those which prevailed
in the days of the prophets. Even
unto this day their grain is gathered

not to some extent possess and enjoy
all Of these is getting the most out
of life.
One farmer, James Young, who
lives near the village of Sidney, in
Delaware county, N. Y, whom I re-
Gently visited, is, more than most
farmers, good example of the les
son I am trying to teach. His farm
contains 135 acres. The main busi-
ness is dairy farming. He keeps
eighteen grade Ayrshire COWS. He
told me the ration for these COWS in
winter was ten pounds day of
mixture Of corn, oats and gluten and
twenty pounds Of good early cut hay,
and in summer, pasture and four
pounds a day of wheat mixed feed.
The returns from the condensary,
where milk is sold, is $40 a COW, and
the total income from the herd is
$780, The income from other sourc-
es, including poultry, bees, fruits and
vegetables, to which I add rental of

ends for which many live, and for
which they work, are to pay some IN
debtedness, accumulate money to in
vest outside the farm that will bear
interest, or else they are satisfied to
make enough money for a bare ma

higher enjoyments of life. Their life
has not been developed to the extent
that they want a convenient, comfort

good kitchen garden, and for an

the privilege, and, perhaps, may say,
the duty, of the farmers to have the
best of everything. They do not see
that it costs no more to keep pure
bred Or high grade live stock than
scrubs, and that there is much more
satisfaction and profit in caring for
them. They are not availing them

The excessive drought of the past

Yet most of you while we'll aware
that irrigation has been practiced in
different parts of the old world, think
of it as new thing in this country.

LIFE ON THE FARM
It is Very MICH What One Chooses to Make It-What
It May Be.

Life on a farm is usually looked
upon as dreary monotonous round
of drudgery. So it is on many farms
and in many places. But not on all,
by any means. A correspondent of
the Tribune Farmer says:
In my work the last few years l
have visited many farmers, and I
know something about their way OF
living. What has seemed to me the

Investigations that only about 10 per

of OUR far Southwest.
From the solid rock,
with primitive tools of
