Its members progressive bankers and
 business men of Pine Bluff and Jef- ferson county. Pine Bluff Is in the
 heart of one of the richest farming belts in the state and Pine Bluff s l preparing to add new riches to this belt"
 The need for cooperation among farmers in growing and marketing truck, fruit and poultry has been long recognized, but it has seemed impos- sible to perfect the organization nee essary to insure success. Practically every crop that is grown can be sue eessfully cultivated in the Pine Bluff territory,but farmers have been re luctant to grow more vegetables, fruit and poultry because of the diff ficuity ln obtaining fair priee-the individual being unable to profitablg ship to markets where the demand is certain to procure for the products c fair return to the grower.
 The Pine Bluff Chamber of Com  merce finally decided upon the plan to aid in the organization of farmers, and to employ g nlan-a train agricul- turist and market expert-who will work among the farmers, making sug gestions as to time of planting and preparation for shipping which will enable farmers to ship in carload lots products of uniform quality to markets where demand exists at the time.
 Farmers of this section will sus- tain loss this season because. of in- ability to get their canteloupes, water melons and other products to places where there Is demand. The individ- ual cannot act independently because his shipments are not sufficiently large, but thru cooperation with others market at profitable prices can be found for produce that is now al- lowed to waste.
 This the Pine Bluff Chamber of Commerce aims to accomplish, and thus add new riches to this belt

The question of whether steps shall be taken to remedy the lake-bed mem ace will be decided at meeting of citizens at the courthouse Monday ev- ening The Committee of Fifteen, ap- pointed at a mass meeting several months ago to investigate the feasi- bility and probable cost of preventing overflow of the lake-bed and institut- ing system of drainage, has been handicapped by lack of funds prevent ing it from obtaining definite esti- mates Despite this, however, the committee, aided by Maj. w. J. Parkes, C. E., and City Engineer Frank Allen, was enabled to procure information that practically eliminates from further consideration the pump ing station plan, as being too costly to equip and maintain. The commit tee has done its work well, and de- serves the gratitude of the community.
 The report to be presented to the meeting Monday eyeniag, and which was printed in The Graphic Thursday, discusses the problem clearly and con- tains the recommendations that engi- neers be employed to make survey of the territory and submit plans and specifications on which estimates of the cost of levee and drainage sys- tenn may be based. It is proposed to provide for this expense by public sub scrlptions, the contributions to be re- turned when the distrct is organized. This is fair.
 The vital interest that every resi- dent of Pine Bluff has in the move ment to remedy the present situation should insure large attendance at the meeting Monday, when definite de- eision as to further steps is to be reached.
 Considering that the present condi- tlons constitute constant menace 70 health and life, as well as cause direct financial loss, it is taken for granted that the mass meeting will decide to adopt the committees reeommenda- ton, and that preliminary steps will be taken as rapidly as possible
 That seems the only conclusion that sensible, far-sighted, patriotic people can reach
