LIZZIE BILL
 PASSES HOUSE Measure Reorganizing St. Francis Levee District Causes Hot Debate.
LITTLE GRIILS BOARD
Ahege Aismanagement oi District Af- fairs-Shafer and Going Op-
 pose the Change.

Little Rock, Ark, April 12.-As WAS expected, the St Francis leyec district bill, by MT. Little, providing for a general reorganization of the board and the election of the direc- tors by the district, instead of their appointment by the governor, called out one of the hottest fights of the session i'll the house this morning. and the prediction is also made that when the bill gets into the senate the spectacular bout in the House this morning will look tame in compari- son with the upper house..
 Messrs. Little and Thompson of Craighead championed tho measure. and were later joined by MT. Sweet of St. Francis, although as he first understood the bill, he had opposed it.
 Charges of mismanagement in the affairs of the board were broad and sweeping, and made without any at- .~AAAPS 0e voIACA 0u6SColIOu
 It was charged that the cost of ad- ministering the affairs of the board, without building foot of levee or meeting any financial obligation of the district for construction work" had cost as high as $20,000 a year. Mir. Little was very caustic in his ref erences to the board and declared that the chief aspiration of the mem- bers was not building levees but making themselves solid with the ad- ininistration, in order that they might continue in office.
 Messrs. Clyde Going, the newly ap- pointed member from Poinsett coun- ty, Shafer of Crittenden, Faulkner of Cross anu others opposed the bill.
 The vote on the bill was 50 to 22.

FARM BUSINESS METHODS

The establishment of the new depart
ment of agricultural economics in the
College of Agriculture of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin marks an advance in
rural education recognizing the import
ance of the study of the economics OF
agriculture in its general and specific
ally practical connections. Heretofore
relatively little attention has been given
to study of the history of farm busi-
ness methods. Stress has been laid up
on the natural sciences, and comparat-
lively little study has been given to the
organization of the farm, problems OF
production and marketing of crops, farm
accounting, etc.
DR.. Henry G. Taylor, the professor
in charge of the department, will give
courses embracing the general econom-
ic theory and history, the principles OF
of production and marketing of agricul-
tural products. This course will be Of
fered to juniors in the long course and
sophomores in the middle course in ag-
riculture. A semester's course in cost
accounting in agriculture will be pre-
sented which will give students practi-
cal training in determining the cost of
production of farm crops.
d. HI. Otis, professor of farm man.
agement, will give semister's course
in this subject, which will include study
of methods and practices in managing
the farm to secure the largest net in
come. This course will deal with such
practical problems as will train the stu
dents to plan the various operations,
crops, live stock, etc., for the best re-
suits according to capital, equipment,
and land at hand.
A cooperative investigation between
the College of Agriculture and the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture on the cost of production of farm
crops on number of Wisconsin farms,
as well as study of the methods of
farm organization, will be conducted by
the agricultural economics department.
This work will furnish accurate data
not heretofore available concerning the
best methods to be followed in operat-
ing Wisconsin farms. Work of this
nature has been inaugurated in some
parts of the country with excellent re-
suits.
