become familiarized with the
smoke by day and the blaze by
night produced by the annual
burning Of the woods, and grow
indifferent to the wholesale de-
strnction going on about them
Fences and buildings are protected
except where the fire slips up on
the owners, but there serious in
tcrcst in forest fires cease.
Forest tires are very destructive
even If they do not burn fences or
buildings. They damage the TIM
hcr itself and injurc the fertility of
tic land. In many locations where
,kc woods burn annually and have
been burnt for a few generations
The mark Of the fire is left on prac-
t!caiy every tree. It may have
been made years ago and have
been covered by later growth, but
when the tree is cut a hollow in
the center tells the story Of a
Nound made by burning. Rough
places at the base Of the trees, and
open hollows that ruin the tim
Der for lumber bear evidence Of
the destructive work of forest
fires, In some places the burning
Is SO severe that seedlings cannot
withstand the heat and openings
are made as larger trees are cut
or mature and die.
Sometimes in the pine woods the
flames run into the tree tops, burn
ing leaves and killing entire tracts
of woodland. In the far north
these fires have wiped OUT villages
and destroyed many hundreds OF
lives. The loss in such cases may
amount to millions Of dollars III a
day or two.
Property OF the nation, the state
and the timber owner is being de-
stroyed whenever the mountains
and hills become hid in the smoke
from their burning. A bunch Of
leaves and brush at the base OF .
tree, Or log lying against it, may
make enough heat to kill the tissue
On one side. Growth stops at tha'
spot, the bark dies and peals Off
decay begins, and a cavity is made
IN which water accunl,llates anC

BUILD UP AROUND US.

The organization of Truck crow ers' Association in this county and state would do more to encourage small investors to come to this section than anything of a similar nature thot might be launched here. One of the greatest drawbacks that Arkansas has suffered from in recent years has been the inability of homeseekers of small means to invest in small tracts of land with the hope of developing a truck farm.
 Pine Bluff is largely dependent, like other cities, on the country surround ing it and especially the agricultural development in neighboring localities. Oklahoma City, which has been enjoy ing a remarkable boom, is now feeling the effects of its lack of development In the country surrounding it. Other cities have been subjected to similar set-backs in recent years.
 Pine Bluff ought to be the Hub of hundreds of truck farms. The soil around this city can produce most anything that grows on truck farm anywhere. It is peculiarly adapted to truck farming and there is no req son why truck farms should not be big success in every section of South ast Arkansas. The reason they have not been a success here is because the people have not stopped to think long enough to realize that truck farms can be a success. They have been thinking too much about cotton and not enough about the other prod-
