PLANS Progress
/. fAVORABLY FOR
FARM INSTITUTE
Proposed to Have Experts
Visit Every Section of
County.

Plans are rapidly advancing for the
farmers institute to be neid in Jeffer-
son county during August. and as the
details become known, there is more
and more interest being shown in the
affair.
1t is already known that there viii
be a large number OF experts from
washington to participate in the af-
fair, as we'll as from the state agri-
cultural colleges and from the Uni
Sersity of Arkansas. In addition,
agents of the canning clubs, the home
demonstration clubs and the corn and
pig clubs will also lend their assist
ance.
The institute will continue through
six days, making it a whole-week af-
fair. Each section of the county will
be visited, it being planned to have
one day spent at Sheriff., for instance.
another at Altheimer, and SO on until
all parts of the county have been Wis
tied, the final day to be spent in Pine
Bluff, with monster meeting of
farmers.
Each of the experts will have one
particular subject, on which he will
talk, and concerning which he, will
answer any questions put him. to give
the farmers all the information they
may desire. The. towns where the
experts will hold their sessions will
be made centers Of their sections of
the, county, drawing the farmers for
miles around
While it has not yet been definitely
decided, efforts are being made to
have the institute experts travel in
automobiles, spending the nights in
Pine Bluff and journeying. early each
morning to; the towns to be visited.
The weather and roads are expected
to be favorablesto such plan, during
August, good conditions generally pre-
vailing here during that month
Every farmer in the county will be
| ihfcemed of the affair BY letter. cir
cular and newspaper announcement
before the date for the institute, and
as the farmers generally have more
| leisure during August than at this
| time of the year. it is confidently be-
lieved each Of the meetings will at
tract great crowds, and that the insti-
| tute will be the most successful ever
/ held in this county, and will mark a
great advance in farming methods in

TALK White RIVER
TRAFFIC HERE TODAY
Jobbers and Commission
Men Expected to Meet This
Forenoon.

Wholesalers, jobbers and commits
sion men will meet this forenoon at
the chamber of commerce. to discuss
the matter of arranging for through
river traffic between Pine Bluff and
points on the White river.
A meeting for this purpose was to
Ehave been held Wednesday afternoon,
but most of the men interested were
Ecompelled to he elsewhere, hence the
meeting was arranged for this after
noon.
The matter has been informally con-
sidered already by many of the loca
business men, and the indications are
that arrangements. will be made for a
visit to the White river points under
consideration, either by rather large
delegation of local business men. or
4 by a committee which will be selected
to represent Pine Bluff interests.
1t is believed by some OF the local
kmen that a trip can be made on the
steamer Lightwood to the White river
territory, with big benefits to accrue
to local business houses, because OF
the opportunity to add much new ter
ritory to Pine Bluffs trade radius
and by bringing into close touch To-
cal business men and the business
men OF the White river valley coun-
try.
