LETTER FROM MISS ROSE
 OF ROSEDALE FARM,

Having heard a great deal about the diversified farming ac- tivities on Rosedale Farm, at Wrightsville, the editor wrote to the proprietor for letter tell ing something about his plans. One may imagine our surprise when the reply informed us that this fine farm was in charge of a lady-Miss Leona E. Rose, the daughter of a former prominent cotton planter. The manage ment of the farm is under the direction of Horace L. Wilcox, who, we understand, is a Mis- souri College of Agriculture graduate.
 Miss Rose writes an interest ing letter, which is published here in full:
 Editor The Pulaslkian:
 ''In response to your kind let ter of inquiry as to what l think of Arkansas in relation to farm ing, 1 wish to state that 1 re- turned from St. Louis last fall because of the advantages Ar kansas offers agriculturists. believe, however, that the time is past when one can make a success by the one-crop method We must, whatever we depend upon for our main crop, raise our own feed, and, of course, ouI own foodstuffs.
 q believe that the Arkansas farmer is awakening to the pos abilities of live stock, pure bred hogs and poultry, all of which no farm should be without. 1, myself, specialize in registered Berkshires and s. c. White Leg horns.
 ''I think, also, that dredging the Arkansas River would be of inestimable advantage to the farmer, and especially to those who cultivate the fertile bottom lands.
 My father, the late D. F. Rose, was a cotton planter in Arkansas for twenty-five years, so 1 am not a stranger in a strange land Am fiattered that you think a word from me of any interest.-Yours very truly, Leona E. Rose"

CROP BULLETIN.

Very little rainfall was report ed during the week, light shower occurring at Brinkley on the Sd and one at Dardanelle on the 7th. The temperature was about 3 degrees below normal.
 Although the sky was clear, affording an abundance of sun- shine, and the temperature was not much below the normal, the soil was so wet from the previ- ous rains and the temperature SC low that cotton deteriorated in nearly all portions of the state and is shedding badly. The crop is reported poor to fair in near ly all places. The bad effects, however, seem to be due to the unfavorable weather condi- tions of the previous week, for under normal conditions the weather of the past week would have been considered favorable.
 Late corn made good progress on the uplands, but the soil was too wet in the lowland sections. It was reported in good condi- tion in nearly all portions. AL falfa and pastures made good growth and are in excellent con- dition, the weather being favor able for curing hay.
 Garden truck and melons con- tinue plentiful and are of excel lent quality. Potatoes are rot ting in the ground to some ex- tent, due to the wet soil, but oth- erwise are reported good. Ap- pies and pears are not very plen- tiful, but are of good quality H. s. Cole, Section Director.

cess with his wares at that fail that it was necessary for him tc go in business right, and the de mand for pies created the first bakery establishment. Whether this was the case or not, we must hand it to the pieman for knowing where to take his wares to be seen by the public.
 Another lesson we learn from this simple verse, and that is that the fair was an established fact; that people carried things to the fair to sell, to advertise, to show.
 Even at that early date there was no doubt about the fair be- ing the proper place to take things so the people could see them. and time has not changed to this day in this respect. No difference what you have, what you raise, what you make, take it to the Fair, so the people can see it.
 There is a great deal of satis- faction in being an originator, a pioneer, in some line-to start something, to be ahead; but there are very few of us who are. We, to a great extent, watch the other fellow, and what he does we can learn to do, and there lies the great value of 9 Fair. When some fellow just ahead of the others does start something, we watch him, and when he has made a success, then we take a hand at it, and we succeed, too. A Fair brings out the starters, whether they be raisers of shorthorn milk strain cattle or whether they have brought us frost-proof cab- bage.
 The legislature should make a law allowing each county so much money each year to aid a fair, and when this is done it will be but short time until the best of cattle, hogs, horses, ag- ricultural, horticultural, and manufactured articles will be distributed over the entire state, and the increase in value of the farms will return in taxes and more than repay each county the money allowed.
 It is not Belgian, German, Italian, Russian, or any other immigration we need on our farms. What we need and what we must do is to get to- gether at the Fair, see what the fellow ahead" is doing, and go home and do likewise.-V. c. Bidding.

ZION HILL ZEPHYRS.

Governor George w. Hays spoke to an appreciative audi ence at Zion Hill Monday night under the auspices of the Boys and Girls Demonstration Club. A reception committee consist ing of Misses Zola and Ara G.

Af- ter the yells and cheers of the crowd had subsided, Earl Scott, secretary of the Zion Hill club
 told of the accomplishments and aims of the club. Governor Hays was then introduced by Bolon Turner, president of the county club. In his speech he especially emphasized the i'm portance of the work of the corr and canning clubs. He also urged the boys and girls to re. member that soon they were te be the men and women of the state, and to live in a way that they could bear the responsibil- ltles that would rest upon them
 After Governor Hays hao spoken, Miss Zola Turner thanked the distinguished guest for coming to Zion Hill anc

 Simple Simon met a pieman going to the Fair" The rest of the verse leaves little doubt as to what the pieman was going to do at the Fair. When Simple Simon asked for a taste and the pieman offered to sell, we must know that the pieman was going to the fair to sell pies. Perhaps up to that time there were no bakeries. and such things as pie and cake were peddled from house to house, or at large gatherings of the people, such as a fair. Who knows but that very pieman made such a sue

She has done special work for the gov
ernment, and for state organizations. She
is the terror Of illegal dental and medical
practitioners, and recently. having been
employed by the state dental board to
run down dentists practicing without
license, she obtained no less than six
convictions in one week. In each instance
her evidence was complete.
In her fight against the illegal dentists,
Miss Connolly, who has a perfect set Of
teeth, was compelled to employ young
girl to act as a sort of DR.. Watson. This
young girl, who sacrificed a perfectly
sound tooth in order that Miss Connolly
might gain the desired evidence, had the
same molar drilled and treated no less
than forty times by as many different
dentists. Miss Connolly, accompanying
her as her friend" would look around
for diploma or license, and finding none,
would swear to a warrant and cause the
practitioners arrest. She worked the
same scheme in her fight against physi-
clans practicing without lel Il right, and
she never failed once to get conviction.
In working different classes of cases,
It has been necessary for Miss Connolly
to be a cloak model (she's a perfect 36,"
incidentally, saleswoman, stenographer,
society woman and score OF other char
acters in which, however. she made no
attempt to disguise her features. One
of the most difficult parts the woman

play was that of a member Of New York's
slums in an effort to gain possession OF
a ffteen-year-old girl kept prisoner In
q Chinese headquarters in Pell st.
"If there Is one willy crook" says Miss
Connolly, cit is the Chinese criminal And
in the majority Of cases his crime Is one
that is directed against young girls. In
the New York case ! was called to res
cue a girl who, having been drugged in q
Pell st. restaurant, was made captive by
a Chinese who had become infatuated
with her. and was held, prisoner in q
basement room.
