Sudan grass; the making avail able of hardy and drought-re- sistant strains of alfalfa which virtually will make this crop a success over large areas where it can not now be grown success fully; and the introduction of new and highly promising crops, among which may be mentioned a new sorghum, the Freed variety, a semisweet sorghum which is highly drought resistant and valuable both for grain and forage, and the Tepary bean for human food.
 Seeds of these new crops are not as yet staple commodities on the market, and a distribution such as has been conducted will go far toward making them gen. erally available to farmers in the dry-land sections.
 As for the broader aspects of the project, it is largely to the crops just indicated that the farmer must look for success in dry-land farming.

RESULTS OF DISTRIBUTION OF DROUGHT RESISTANT FIELD SEEDS
 The Department of Agricul- ture during 1913, under an ap- propriation of Congress, distri- buted approximately 27, 900 pack ages of drought-resistant field seeds. Each of these packages contained a sufficient quantity of seed to plant l acre, and this when successful supplied the grower with seed for a much larger area the following year. The crops include in this distri- button were improved hardy and drought-resistant alfalfas, new varieties of field peas. improved strains of millets. Feterita and Sudan grass. Those in charge of this distribution have render ed the following report as to the results obtained from the planting of these seeds:
 Feterita, a grain and forage sorghum similar to kafir and milo, and Sundan grass, a wild form of sorghum somewhat coarser than millet, demonstrated be- yond a doubt their immense value to the country. Notwithstand- ing the extreme drought which occurred throughout almost the entire growing season, these crops came to maturity and furnished forage where prac- tically all other crops failed. Seeds of these varieties are at the present time greatly in de- mand and command a price far in excess of the ordinary sor- ghums or millets. The Amraoti and Bangalia varieties of field peas demonstrated their superi- ority over the common strains for dry-land farming and have created for themselves a strong demand in sections where they were tested. New millets also proved very promising, and, so far as can be determined from one years results, this improved alfalfa will go far toward estab- fishing this crop in sections too dry or too cold for the common strains.
 In addition to alfalfa. Feterita, and Sudan grass, the distribution this year will include field peas, millets, improved strains of sor- ghums, wheat, and Tepary beans. The last-named crop is especially drought resistant, and is very promising in the southwestern portion of the Great Plains region as an article for human food.
 The most promising and inn mediate results that are expect ed from the distribution of seed of dry-land field crops are the establishment in general use of two valuable crops-Feterita and

LITTLE ROcK NEWS
Things of interest around

The United States government
 will wage another campaign in Arkansas this summer against
 the mosquito, with the hope of
 ultimately wiping out malaria.
 Dr. Morgan Smith, secretary of
 the Arkansas Board of Health,
 has received notice that several field agents will again be kept to
 Arkansas this year to take up
 the work where it was left off
 last fall, The work this year will be principally in the rice fields. Water is continually pumped on the rice fields, after the rice has attained a certain growth, and the fields are not drained until the rice is about ready for the harvest. These fields are fertile breeding ground for the mosquitoe, and while the rice sections are not overly afflicted with malaria, the field agents feel that they can create a greater destruction among the mosquitoes if they go where the most of them are. It has been proven time and again that the mosquito carries the malaria germ, and methods will be studied during the summer of killing off the larvae in the rice fields, without injuring in any way the growing rice.
 The people of Arkansas are rather backward about fuss and feathers, as clearly demon- strated in the lack of an official staff for the chief executive of the state. When Gov. Hays was inaugurated it was announced that he would follow the example of other states and have an uni- formed staff Arkansas has been without this gold lace bri- gade, for the past sixteen years, and as there are occasions upon which the governor is expected to appear on dress parade, and when he is invited to attend social fanctions in other states, and bring with him his staff, Gov. Hays thought it would be a fitting way to recognize some of his military appearing friends. The words of his intentions had hardly gotten out of his mouth when the voice of ridicule was heard from hill and dale. The result-no staff.
 About the last resort for the liquor interests in Arkansas is now to secure a repeal of the Going law, and prevent the passage of any act by the legis-' lature in the future which will make a change in the local option system. The decision of the Su- preme Court on the Going bill all the more clearly defines the liquor traffic as a privilige, and wholly within the police regula- tions of a state. This means that the state can make any kind of laws, no matter how drastic, or seemingly unfair, governing it's sale, without a de- fense for the saloons. 4
