There will be no Congressional re-apportionment of Arkansas by this session of the Legislature, since the increase in population was not sufficient to increase the number of representatives.

THE CONFEDERATE REUNION.
free Entertainment for Veterans No in-
 crease in Price for Meals.

To feed, for several days, an army of at least 5O,OOO visitors. expected at the Confederate Vet erans Reunion, Little Rock, May -16-1z-18. is a problem which the special committee having that branch of the work. in charge, hs solved in the most satisfactory manner. Arrangements have beer completed not only to provide en- tertalnment at prices definitely fixed, but also for meals and speci- fled dishes, so that no one will be subject to oyercharging but for the greater convenience of visitors temporary restaurants and eating houses will be established con- venient to the various places where extra sleeping accommodations have been provided. so that visits ors will not be required to travel any distance to obtain breakfast after arising. For instance. at Camp Kavanaugh. great bachelor barracks, which will accommodate 5000 visitors. there will be large temporary restaurant right on the grounds.
 At the Camp of Confederate Veterans in city park. restaurant to accommodate all who occupy the tents will be established. An improvement has been made in the interests of the veterans over all other reunions. They will not be put to the trouble of getting tick cts. The badge given them on registering at headquarters. will suffice to admit them to all free functions as well as free meals and tents.
 At the public schools. in which thousands of new single beds. bought especially for the porpose. will be placed. the ladies auxiliaries of the various schools will provide meals. All the hotels of course have their own dining rooms or restaurants, and as far as possible. in the house to house canvass, made to ascertain how many visit ors can be accommodated arrange ments will be made to furnish breakfast with lodging. In the down town districts, in addition to the large number of permanent restaurants and eating houses. temporary ones will be established and the ladies aid societies of the various churches will also serve meals.
 Complete arrangements have been made to prevent overaharging or extortion. No restaurant will be endorsed by the committee un- less it first agrees to it's require ments. This means that the pro- prietor must agree to a fixed schedule of prices for meals and special dishes. He must agree to post this price-list conspicuiously in his restaurant. In return. the committee gives all such restau- rants large especially designed sign, protected by copyright. stat ing that such restaurants are en- dorsed by the conmitte.

CUT OVER TIMBER LANDS.
They Are Being Acquired Rapidly for AgriCul-
 taral Purposes.

Recent statements that an Eng fish syndicate is seeking to acquire for settlement purposes between 10000 and 5o,ooO acres of cut over timber land in South Alabama that German farmers are preparing to farm such lands near Lumber ton, Miss. and that interest in like tracts in Arkansas and Louisiana is increasing, are among the lndlca- tions of growing appreciation of the great possibilities of agricul- ture in the areas denuded by the lumbermen. According to the latest official estimates there were in 1908 in this country 65,OOO.- GOO acres of cut-over timber land that were not reforesting. Of the total. nearly 22,ooo,ooo were in the South.
 It is hardly likely that all of these 22.ooo,OOo acres in the South are susceptible to profitable agriculture. Thousands of them are on the Appalachian heights, ID which. although, farming is suc- cessfully followed in vast tracts in the aggregate, in other parts na- tural difficulties forbid the under taking. But there are millions of acres. especially in the yellow pine regions, which experience with por- tons of them has demonstrated to be ready to yield plentiful harvests under proper cultivation.
 Comparative cheapness of these lands and their productivity in climate which permits the growing of three crops year have not. perhaps. led to the demand for them that might naturally be ex- pected. for the reason that the re- moval of stumps from them has been regarded as an expensive un- dertaking. But the increasing demonstration of their utility has been accompanied by improve ment in methods for the removal of the stumps economically, it be- ing possible now to use machine that will handle them at a cost of SIS to $2O an acre. The mechanical stump puller, however, treats the stump as mere destruc- tive waste to be destoyed as ex- peditiously as possible e. But the removal whether by the stump puller or by dynamiting. a course pursued by some men, may be re- duced considerably with the per- fecting of devices for the utiliza- tion of the stumps in the derivation of important products. Experi- mentation has already progressed in the development of processes for obtaining these products. It is estimated that the annual waste in numbering operations in this coun- try amounts to about 15,Q0O,OOO cords, from which, by means of steam distillation or destructive distillation, products valued at 100000 could be derived. Perhaps one-fourth of that annual waste is pine stumps. If that be so, it easily understood how that, with suitable equipment. the stumps in an acre of land might yield in turpentine, tar, tar oil and charcoal enough to pay for bringing the land into shape for farming. The subject is fascinating one to everybody interested in the utiliza- ton of so-called waste as a part of the full realization of the agricul- tural possibilities of the South.

though the registration ran to 1000,
and in spite of unavoidable accidents
to the long program, the work OF the
body has gone forward smoothly and
comfortably.
All the affiliated societies had fin
ished their work by noon. An enthusi'

elected officers and applied for formal
utilization with the congress. Though
few in number as yet, they expect to
maintain separate organization, ex
cept that they propose to join thell
next program with that of the horti
culturists. Their officers are: Presi

these are thrown Into the shrunken
stream. There they lie until the fresh

Then huge elephants are employed
to drag the heavy logs from the

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

The college chapel was again full
Yesterday afternoon at the third gen.
eral meeting of the Farmers Congress.
The address of the occasion was de-
liyered by B. F. Yoakum, general man.
ager of the Frisco railway system.
"The farmers trouble is not the
high cost of living but the high COST
of selling" he said. 1T is only by
organization that the producer can pro-
tect himself. What he needs first is
systematic method of getting at the
prices attached to his products after
they have left him. No other industry
will permit middlemen to realize 60
per cent of the final price Of its prod
uce. Organization to control this mat
ter may be trust building, but surely
the farmer has as much right 10 tnls
control as has the manufacturer OF
steel billets, etc. These men lose only
5 per cent of their final price, and that
under protest"
Mr. Yoakum presented statistics to
establish these statements.
"The solution lies in cooperation
between producer and transporter, ne
said. "The farmer and the railroad are
naturally allies. The railroads be-
long to the public. The stockholders
merely operate them under laws de-
signed to achieve the best possible
service. And yet your railroads have
paid out two billions for personal IN
fury, of which the lawyer-the middle
man-receives approximately half!
You are benefiting from reduced cot
ton rates. Should not the railroads
benefit by cooperation to eliminate the
middleman lawyer"

ceived by his hearers. 1t will be pup
