TO PROTECT STATE FARM.
Plans Are Under Way to Prevent
 Overflow.

Pine Bluff-Col. Gus Waterman of Dumas, president of the Linwood and Auburn levee district, appeared be- fore the penitentiary board at Little Rock in advocacy of additional pro lection of the levee in front of the state farm at Cummins, which is in danger of caving banks at the next high water.
 Colonel Waterman read a state ment prepared by Charles H. Miller, an engineer in the employ of the Gould system, who has recommended to his company that it join with the state in furnishing the needed pro- tection. Mir Miller made an inspec- tion of the ievee and had intended to accompany Colonel Waterman to Little Rock, but was called to Kan sas City.
 MT. Miller recommends the build ing of a revetment instead of new levee loop. This will include 2,000 feet of revetment and 1,500 feet of dike work The dike work would not be effective alone, as high water would be liable to get between it and the levee. He estimates the cost of the revetments at $S a lineal foot and the dikes at $5 lineal foot.

 Against this condition there is the incoming crop of cotton, valued at $S0,000, and which will all be har vested by December 1. Counting the expenses of the penitentiary to have amounted to $40,000 by that time, including the present outstanding in debtedness, the proceeds Of the crop will meet this expense and leave ap proximatly S40,000 to the credit of the fund.
