Craghead County Farmers Union Says
 Farmers Have Been ignored.

Jonesboro.-Th Craighead County Farmers Union in a meeting held in the courthouse, passed resolutions de- nouneing the management of tho First District Agricultural School.
 Thes resolutions were stinging in their nature and caused sensation in Jonesboro. The resolutions called attention to the fact that the man agement has ignored the farmers in making appointments of members of the faculty. It Is claimed in the resolutions that Victor C. Rays, prin- cipal who is from northern Illinois, near Chicago. has ignored all recom- mendations n"ho by the union for the appointment of some Southern farm experts on the faculty, but that he has consistently appointed North erners who are not in sympathy with the sections supposed to be benefited by the school.
 While the resolutions do not ask for the removal of the principal of the school, il is claimed that not only his removal, but the removal of the advisory board will be asked for later.
