WORK TO BEGIN IN JANUARY
Agent Evans to Name County
Demonstration.
COngratulates Business Men on Raising
Fund for Demonstration Farm
Work.
FROM THURSDAYS DAILY

Early in January the special
government agricultural agent Sc
cured through the efforts of the
Board of Trade of this city will be-
gin his work in Faulkner county,
which will continue throughout
the crop season, according to a
letter from State Agent J. A. Evans
of Shreveport, La.
By raising a fund of over 5000
this county will secure the exclu-
sive services of one of the experts
connected with the United States
department of agriculture. This
expert will pay regular visits to
about $50 demonstration farms in
the county and will give explicit
instructions OH scientific methods
of farming. In every case where
these instructions are followed, the
production is increased from so to
800 per cent over the old methods
of agriculture. With the eXcep-
ton of few counties on the south
ern border, where the ravages of
the boil weevil nave been preva-
lent, Faulkner is the only county
in the state which has secured the
exclusive services of a government
agent.
In letter to Secretary G. L.
Banner CT the Board of Trade, re-
ceived this morning, Mr.. Evans
says:
q congratulate your business
men on the enterprise shown. We
shall arrange to send a competent
man in your county to begin work
early in January, and l will spend
as much as a week with him, so as
to get the organization started off
in good shape.
~ hope for great things from
this intensive work in Faulkner
county, and am confident we shall
not be disappointed.

TURNER MAY MAKE RACE
Chief Clerk of House.
FROM THURSDAYS DAILY.

According to an item published
in yesterdays Little Rock Demo
crat, J. B. Higgins of this city may
be opposed in his race for chief
clerk of the house of representa-
tives by Editor w. F. Turner OF
Atkins. The item says:
1T is intimated by friends Of
that gentleman, and in terms that
leave little doubt of its correctness,
that w. F. Turner, editor of the
Atkins Chronicle, will make the
race for chief clerk of the house in
the next legislature. This would
make quartet of aspirants, and
would indicate that the fight for
the clerkship will be one of the
warmest ever. Turner is well
known throughout the political
and press circles of the state, and
will make a formidable opponent if
he comes in. as row seems evident.
He was in the city yesterday, APP
parently looking the situation
over. y
Mr.. Turner was in Conway
Tuesday for few hours, but so
far as can be- ascertained, did not
announce his intention to make
the race as stated. Mr.. Higgins is
opposed by former Chief Clerk Ed
L. Lucas of Ola and Frank H.
Dodge of Little Rock. He says
from the assurances which have
been given him ever since he an
nounced his intention to run for
the office at the close of the last
session, he feels confident of sue
cess.

Results are being obtained from

health. He was in the city yes
terday, and spent considerable of
the time with George w. Donaghey
governor elect, and it is thought he
virtually placed his resignation as
senator from Pulaski county in the
handsof the next governor. Senator
Oldham declined to talk upon the
subject, but he will not return to
the legislature, and has been con-
templating the resignation for some
time, so it is surmised he came to
an agreement concerning the full
fillment of his place by the in
coming governor.

OFFICE ABOLISHED
AT DARDANELLE

Little Rock, Dec, Especial.
Circular orders were received at
the United States land Office in
Little Rock yesterday afternoon,
disseminating the land Office at
Dardanelle after January 80, 1909
The office which has been conduct
ed in Dardanelle for over 40 years,
will upon the following day be-
come part of the land Office here.
The ord er was issued by President
Roosevelt November 2I, but no
information concerning the discon-
tinuance of the Dardanelle Office
and the transference and consollda-
ton of the lands, business and ar
chives of that Office with the Little
Rock office, was received until yes
terday afternoon when the formal
notification was received. The or
der is signed by Fred bennett,
commissioner of the general land
Office.
The discontinuance OF the OAR
danelle office, which was estab-
lished 1867, when it was removed
from GAINESVILLE, makes vacant
two political positions which have
been much sought after. 1t re-
lieves Joseph Batten6eld, register
and J. G.. Chitwood, receiver, of
the Dardanelle office, from further
service, and deprives several Re
publican politicians of that dis
trict from making the race for the
appointments. There have been
several applications for the posi-
tons on file with Capt. F. w.
Tucker, chairman of the state Re-
publican central committee. Each
position paid about $1,000 annually
in fees. The combination of the
Dardanelle Office with the Little
Rock office makes the local office
all the more sought for. though
the receiver nor register will either
receive all the fees they earn, the
government not allowing a land
office official to earn more than
$4,000 annually. The Office ofreg-
lister here is being filled temporari-
ly, Harry H. Myers resigning sew
eral months ago There are mum
bers of applicants for the position
however, as we'll as for the position
of receiver, which is now held by
John f, Bush.
Prominent Republican leaders
yesterday afternoon stated the
abolishing of the Dardanelle office
was but the forerunner of the dis
continuance of all district offices
an order would soon be issued dis
continuing those at Camden and
Harrison. This would leave all
state land matters in charge of the
Little Rock office. The amount
of business transacted in the dis
trict offices has fallen off great
deal in recent years, and this Is
thought to be the cause for the or
der received Yesterday.

PURE FOOD LAW NO GOOD
Effort Being Made to Remedy State Law
by Prescribing Penaly

Little Rock, Ark, December r..
So far as practical results are
concerned, the pure food law of
the last legislature has been a fail
ure through the neglect of those
passing 1t to prescribe any punish
ment, which has prevented the
wise ones, who wished to palm off
an impure article, from giving the
people of the state what the law
intended they should have. Off
Gals of the department of agricul-
ture are now preparing a law which
will remedy all the defects of the
old bill and take in all foodstuff as
we'll. This law is to be patterned
after the one recommended by
the convention of the commission
ers OF agriculture of southern states,
recently held in Atlanta. 1t will
force all dealers in food for man or
beast, to sell nothing but which has
certain percentage of fat builders.
energy givers, and to contain all
the ingredients it is surpassed to
contain, and in the proper guam
titles. The pure food act OF the
last Legislature was more of a drug
act, but the new one will not only
care for the purity in drugs, but
everything eaten by man and
beast, and there will be no loop
n holes left for violators to squirm
through.

SEED PRICE TAKES lump
Fourteen Dollars a Ton Offered today
Against SI2 Yesterday.
FROM THURSDAYS DAILY.

Each of the local buyers this
morning received notice of an ad-

81 ton, the price being raised
from S12 to SI4. The increased
price was fixed by the Little Rock
mills and the local oil mill has
met the advance.
The price of seed on the streets

will gather evidence with the in
tention of filing a contest in the
sheriff's election. He is acting in
the interest of w. w. Finley, Re-

the contest is filed, the Republl-
cans will allege the judges election
eered for Barnett, that they per
