 Little Rock.-The most successful meeting of live stock growers ever held in the state occurred in Little Rock this week.
 There was a representative body of delegates present, from almost every county ill the state, at the sessions of the Arkansas Stock Growers Associa. ton. opening Tuesday, and closing Thursday. There was given a live stock show in connection with tho association under the direction of John H. Page, commissioner of agri culture. The association met at the Hotel Marion, and the stock show was held at Third and Rock streets.
 Much credit for the success of the meeting is due to the president Judge H. L. B'Shears, of Fulton, the secretary, John (. Small of Little Rock, and Commissioner Page. The speakers at the various sessions have covered every possible phase of the live stock industry. as experts. There were special sessions devoted to cat tie and feeding, dairying forage crops, and tick eradication, hog breeding, and horses. Among the speakers were several members of the faculty of the College of Agriculture. University of Arkansas, and reprl scn,a.ives of the L. S. Departmeri of Agriculture. There was crowded into the three days ses- sion. concluding Thursday, enough technical and practical advice if heed ed, to place Arkansas upon the high. est plane of efficiency in live stock growing, which is the purpose of the leaders in the movement.
 One of the forceful lectures of the convention was that of pr Martin Nelson. dean and director of the Col lege of Agriculture. who spoke on What Live Stock Means to Soil Fer. tility,s and demonstrated by charts that the proper handling of livestock rejuvenates the soil and prevents it from wearing out Soil surveys anal yses. and experiments are now con. ducted in the state upon funds fur Mshed by the federal government, and Dean Nelscn urged the association to adopt resolutions urging he legisla, ture to make an appropriation for the maintenance of an experiment. sta. ton.
