One freshman in the Col .;e of Ag-
riculture has blossomed out into a
poet After finishing an ardous exam
ination he wrote this rhyme on his
blue-book. with apologies to Tenny-
son:
Il count it truth with him who sings
To one clear harp in divers tones
That this bewildered bunch of bones
Has never heard of half these
things -
His effort was rewarded when the
instructor told him that as a vegetable
gardener he was an excellent poet.
Thus encouraged, he wrote on another
of his examination blue-bOOks the fol-
lowing:
Tell me not in mournful numbers
That the answers are all wrong
Lest my sad voice kill your slumbers
With a wall both loud and long"
The recognition for this effort came
in an unexpected way. The instructor
wrote on the book this bit of senti-
ment:
On account of this rotten rhyme
All you get is seventy-nine.'

ARKANSAS WILL BE THERE
State to Have Display at San Fran
 cisco Exposition.

Little Rock, Feb. 1S8.-Unless signs which are plainly written across the Heavens fail, Arkansas will send to San Francisco one of the most mag nificent exhibits ever placed by any state at a world wide exposition The convention held in Little Rock last week sponsored by Gov c. W. Hays was the stepping stone from which the movement will grow, and this week the committee to rasie the SI00000 required will be named by Gov. Hays Work will immediately begin and while the money is being raised, d bit of attention will be paid to getting together something to eX- hibit when the building is completed
 The first real step in the work is. therefore, not to be along financial lines There seems to be little doubt in the mind of Gov. Hays that the money will be forth coming, SC he can turn his attention to the source of supply for exhibits. Ar Engagements will be made to care for the finest Of this years crop, that can be wed For crops maturing alter the opening date of the exposi= ton, especial care is to be taken with the 1914 crop in order to pro- dace some real premium stuff. Cal ifornIa is the only recognized fruit rival of Arkansas, and great deal Of that states reputation was founded oa Arkansas fruit which was shipped to California points. repacked and sold again as California fruit, and at much higher prices.
 It is the intention of Gov. Hays and those promoting the enterprise, to have daily. shipments go forward to San Francisco during the exposition. The exposition will open i'll strawberry time and extend through until after apple picking time. This will give Arkansas a chance to appear in her Sunday clothes Fresh Arkansas fruit will be shown right beside Cal itornia fruit, and it is safe bet that Arkansas will not suffer from the comparison.
 The horticultural and other socie- ties will assist in the work, espec- ially in the preparing of fruit for shipment
 All Arkansas schools will this year prepare a feature exhibit from which the best will be selected The same will be done by the manufacturers ot the state-in fact. Arkansas is going right to California to show the peo- pie Of the world that they bought the wrong ticket when they went looking for the garden spot of the world, Arkansas being the only state answering that description.
