A SpraYind Manual.

Arkansas has a reputation for good
apples and peaches, but if our or
ehardists do not study the art and
science of spraying with a good deal
more zeal our reputation will be lost.
Oregon apples are sold in Little Rock
at a higher price than Arkansas APP
pies and four stores in Arkansas cities
keep oregon and Washington apples
to every one that handles Arkansas
apples. The Extension Division of the
University of Arkansas has just put
out remarkable spraying manual
that is different from any other ever
published 1t enumerates the pests
and diseases on fruit, vegetables and
berries and states the spray to be
used. The manual was prepared by
Professors Hewitt. Wieks, Becker and
Heard of the departments of Plant
Pathology, Horticulture and Entomol-
ogy of the Arkansas College of Agri-
culture. 1t is a manual for the busy
orchardist and gardner. 1t will be
sent free on application to the Exten-
sion Division, University of Arkansas.

PooIroom Ordinance Void.

The drastic pool room ordinance
passed by the Malvern City Council
recently was declared null and void
by the supreme court. The ordinance
required operators of pool halls 10
pay an annual license of $500 and give
a $1,000 bond to obey every proyis on
of the ordinance. It also required pro
prietors of billiard halls TO keep a
record of every player and to sign a
register to be kept for that purpose.
The opinion handed down by the SUI
preme court, stated that the ordinance,
while supposed to regulate billiard
halls, in fact suppressed them alto.
gether. It further held that if it did
not operate to suppress them, it was
a revenue measure, and that the ordi
nance was void on either theory.

Task confronts Farm Agents.

Few states in the South and no
state in the north can equal Arkansas
in the number of county agricultural
agents now at work, as this state has
IS of these men employed in so of rs
counties. 1t is impossible to esti-

men are worth to the agriculture of
Arkansas. One farmer said recently
that the agent in his county had been
worth in one year to his county not
less than a quarter million dollars.
The duty of a faithful county agricul-
tural agent are numerous, and he new
