SCARCITY OF
ENGLISH SPARROWS

Noticing the scarcity of English
sparrows and knowing Major Jim Burn
side to be close observer of animsl,
vegetable and mineral life, we asked
him the cause. He tells US that oiling
the streets is the direct cause, the
sparrows getting the oil on their feet
and then on their eggs will not allow
their eggs to hatch, he also says many
leave town for the country as soon as
the oil Is spread in order to get their
dust baths. Thus we see the oil abates
not only the dust and fly nuisance but
the English sparrows as well.

FOLLOW ADVICE
 OF THE EXPERTS
TOM FLETCHER OF scoTT's DE CLARES TROUBLE WITH AVER AGE FARMER IS HE IS TOO
 INDEPENDENT.

Tom Fletcher, progressive owner Of large plantation near Scott's, is an apostle of diyersification. He says:
 "Diyersification of crops means the financial salvation of the Arkansas farmer, but he should go into it care fully and he should follow the advice of the government agricultural ex- perts.
 The trouble with the average farm CT is that he is too indepedent. He is, by the nature of his occupation, more or less isolated. On his own farm he is absolute boss. This has tenden- cy to make him little inuolerant of the opinions of others. He is inclined to think that the government exper;s cannot tell him anything that will be of value to him. The farmer must get rid of this idea if he hopes to en- joy the fullest measure of success. The average farmer has no idea of what it costs him to produce hog or a bale of cotton, or anything else. What would you think of one of your merchants if he sold goods without any idea of what they were costing him? You would be surprised if ne didn't go bankrupt. Why isn't it just as important to the farmer that he should keep books as it is to the merchant? But very few of them GO. The only way the average farmer can tell whether he is making money is by the size of his bank account, if he has one.
 Keeping books is dull and tedious. have found that out for myself. But I have also found that it pays"

AUTEN CUTTING
 ALFALFA CROP
PROGRESSIVE FARMER WILL HAVE CASH CROP FOR MAR
 kET DURING APRIL.

Fl. F. Auten, a Little Rock lawyer, business man and farmer is cutting his first crop of alfalfa on his farm on the old river road, northwest of the city. He expects to get five cuttings by fall He has 15 acres in alfalfa and if disposed to sell would be realIz- ing cash for his crop in April, when the cotton plant is hardly showing.
 Alfalfa runs about 1 1-2 tons to the acre for the first cutting and about one ton in each of the subsequent cut tings. It is worth all the year around from SIS to $15 ton and MT. Auten estimates the five cuttings will yield about $65 an acre at a low estimate.

PIKE DRIVE IS
 MOST POPULAR
TWELFTH STREET PIKE HAS BEEN COMPLETED AS FAR AS OLD PAT cARNES PLACE ON
 MT. IDA ROAD.

The Twelfth street pike has been completed as far as the old Pat Carnes place, now owned by Otto Siegel, 12 miles from the county court house. It replaces the old Mt. Ida road, which was butt about 70 years ago. It has become one of the most popular drives out of the city.
 it's improvement was undertaken a year ago by Improvement District No. 5, of which F. Kanis, Robertson Book CT and Emmett Morris were commits sioners. County Judge Asher con tributed S24,000 toward the work, and the petitioners about S20,000. The road runs through a beautiful section of the county, and the value of ad- jacent real estate has been greatly enhanced. The road is admirably graded and covered with crushed rock
 The late Judge F. M. Fulk bought 120 acres near the road in 1889 for S6,500. The Fulk estate has refused to sell it for $120,000 The late J. B. Sandefur bought 40 acres in 1906 for $6,000. It is now valued at $2000O. F.. Kanis, who has pretty rural home, bought the 40 acres known as Kanls park in 1893 for S4,500; he has refused $40,000 for it. A few years ago prop erty east of Rock creek sold at $50 per acre; today it is selling at $250 per acre.

DIRECTORS ARE
 FOR AMENDMENT
PULASKI COUNTY SCHOOL OPEL cIALS WILL WORK FOR ADOP- TON OF THE PROPOSED
 MEASURE.

At a conference of Pulaski County school directors, representing eighteen of the forty-seven districts, with Dr. H. Prothro of Eastman township pre-, siding, the proposed constitutional amendment to permit districts to levy 12-mill school tax, where a majority of the voters favor it, instead of r mill tax, as at present, was endorsed.
 The directors will work for the adoption of the amendment and uni form textbook plan for the county. The latter will be voted upon at the annual school election May 20 and the amendment will be voted upon at the November general election.
 County Judge Joe Asher was author ized to name two members of the committee to select the books if the county votes for the plan. Two other members are to be selected by the state superintendent of public instrue- tion. The county superintendent or the county examiner is to be the fifth member of the board.
 A motion to endorse an amendment of the present law governing the cleo tion of county superintendents which would provide for his election by the school directors, was indefinitely post poned.
 A motion to endorse an amendment to the constitution to have all coun- Al a.ir fo4a ent question, met a similar fate.

FARMERS SHOULD
 TAKE NO CHANCES
SOUND ADVICE GIVEN PULASKI COUNTY FARMER BY c. o. CARPENTER, OF JACK
 SONVILLE.

The failure to market profitably some perishable products is the only criticism of Arkansas farmers of the diversiication movement started by the Profitable Farming Committee or the Board of Commerce, according to c. o. Carpenter of Jacksonville, as sistant agricultural commissioner of the Iron Mountain. Take no chances with these crops" is the warning Mir. Carpenter issues to those farmers who have tried to raise perishable goods and failed.
 MT. Carpenter says 1t is not the purpose of the Profitable Farming Committee to have farmers raise per ishable goods except enough for them selves. It is the feed yourself idea which this committee is urging, says MT. Carpenter
 Before deciding to plant any crop for the market the farmer should make certain that there is a demand in some market for that particular crop" he continues. ''It is usually necessary to have a carlot marketing association before the growers can market perishable crops profitably. Few people can afford to attempt to grow such crops in carlots because the risk is too great and the market provided by local towns is limited It takes little produce to glut that mar ket, but when the farmers are organ ized into carlot marketing assoc1a- tions their markets are as broad as the territory served by the railway lines of the country"
