With The Legislators
S4o.OOO for State Fair.

Senator Williams bill appropriatiny s40,000 for the Arkansas State Fair was passed by the senate by vot. of 22 to 5, without discussion excent by Senator Williams, who explainea the need of the appropriation if the fair would be kept up to the high standard aimed at. The promoters of the fair have as yet been unable to declare a dividend, but each year sees the fair larger and better, and it is believed that should the legisla. ture make the appropriation it will be only a very short time until the Arkansas State Fair will eclipse any similar enterprise in the South. + is customary in a majority of the states for the general assembly to foster such enterprises. which ara statewide in their scope, and the re- sultant good to the states is incalc,l lable.

PHILLIPS BOOSTS
 COUNTY PAPERS
OF AGRICULTURE URGES FARMERS TO READ
 THE NEWSPAPERS.
He Says the Press of Arkansas Ia Doing Much to Spread Doctrine Of
 Improved Farming Methods.

Little Rock.-Fred H. Phillips and agriculture, with a view toward the agricultural and material better ment of Arkansas has inaugu"ated a plan of preparing an article each week directed to the farmers of the state and bearing on important phases of agriculture.
 The first, which is an argument in favor of the farmer availing himself of the opportunity to take both county and daily newspapers, is as follows:
 "The farmer should subscribe for and be a regular reader of his coun- ty newspaper and a good daily news paper, or these papers have no req son for being in existence. They are here in response to a demand and to meet a long-felt want.
 The business and professional men have long since recognized the value of the county and daily papers. There is not single reason why a merchant or a professional man should read them, that does not ap- ply to the farmer with double force.
 The farmer who reads his county and daily papers and one or more good agricultural journals is a live, progressive farmer, one who is do ing better and better each year; who is keeping abreast of the times.
 The rural free delivery system was established in order to gi"e the farm CT the news while il is news. to en- able him to have not only his county paper. but the daily paper as well.
 The farmer is necessarily a busi- ness man. If he is not, he should be. If he is not q business man he will soon cease to be anything. The bus mess man must know the latest news of the business world. He must know the market news concerning his products. He must know the latest that affects his interests, and the business farmer Or merchant can get this only by taking his county paper for a full review of the local situation and by taking a good daily paper to get general view of the condition of the markets to which much of his products will and must go The newspapers of today devote much space to the dissemination of agricultural information and the re- suits of recent investigations and ex- periments along agricultural lines, which are far in advance of bulletins and publications.
 Tn my opinion, the press of Ark ansas is doing more to spread the doctrine of a better agricultural con dition than is any other force in the state at the present time"
