WORK WILL COST $6O,OOO

COUNTRY BARELY KNOWN TO AUTO TOURISTS WILL BE OPEN ED TO TRAVEL AND RICH FRUIT AND STOCK RAISING SECTION BROUGHT NEARER MARKET.
The Pulaskian., 1915-06-25

The first step was taken Tuesday to the starting of an improvement that means much to the western section of Pulaski county-the textension of the Twelfth Street Pike through the Little Maumelle country, via Frank and Fern dale, to the Saline county line. A petit tion has been filed with County Clerk Turner for the formation of Road Dis trict No. 6, which will take up the inns provement work where it was left off by District No. 5. This will penetrate the most attractive scenery of Pulaski county, a region of hills and valleys and clear running streams, ideal for summer homes and recreation and long known for it's productivity of fruit and live stock.
 The petition asks that the district be formed under the section of the Alex ander road law which permits major ity of the residents along a proposed road to petition for a district without hhgard to the majority in value of land.
 County Judge Asher says the petit tions bear the names of all but one of the residents along the proposed road, although none of the large companies owning land along the route signed. The Alexander law provides that q majority in number, majority in value or a majority in acreage may petition for the formation of an improvement district.
 The district, if organized, will be known as Road Improvement District No. 6. The proposed road will be about 12 miles long and for most of the route will parallel the Little Rock, Maumelle and Western railroad. The total cost will be approximately $60,000. The dis trict to be assessed will be strip four miles wide, two miles on each side of the road it's full length

ranged. The commercial organizations of Little Rock are assisting in this mat ter. There are , 1000 club members in the State. This will bring their cotton, corn, potatoes, peanuts, pigs, poultry and canned products to the fair and while here they will be given course of in structive farm lectures.
 The secretary of the county fair ex- poets to make a school house canvass of the county within the next three months for the purpose of interesting farmers in the movement to have at Little Rock this fall the greatest agricultural display ever made in Arkansas. If arrangements can be made, the moving pictures that were taken of the school parade last fall will be shown, so that the people of the coun- try, who did not see the parade, will see what big thing indeed is the county fair, which only the cooperation of the country people makes possible.
 Crops are in much better condition at this time than they were last year, in every part of the county, and it should not be great trouble to get a fine ex- hibit from every community in the county.
 J. h. AleAdHder oI ocotts says tndG the farmers of that section will not only have many field products to show, but that they will bring to the fair some of the finest hogs and cattle ever seen in Arkansas. The Earl Frazier and Fourche Dam districts have requested larger space to show their many prod uets. This neighborhood won the first community prize last year, and farmer from this section won one of the prizes for the best individual display.
 There is going to be big county fair tiBs year-Oct. 1922. Keep it in mind and when you see something that would make an attractive exhibit sug- gest that it be laid away for that pur- pose It is the farmer who makes the fair a success.
