Balmy Days Start
 Agricultural Activities
Advent of Spring Weather Witnesses Extensive Farm Preparations--Gardening s Very Popular.

The beautiful weather which has been experienced in this county for the past several days has resulted in considerable gar dening and many an acre of Franklin county soil has been turned by the enterprising farm CTS.
 In conversation with a number of farmers we find that the gen eral method to be employed this year will be diversification. having noted the success with which this method has been at tended during the past season. It seems that only recently the farmers have employed this plan, it being heretofore lightly touch ed upon, most farmers being content with the one-crop plan.
 The freezing weather preced- ing the past few springlike days was just what was needed by fruit growers turnout this section, as it is good evidence of a tenden- cy to hold the fruit buds in check and thus assist to save them from danger of freezing or probable killing frost later in the season.
 All reports indicate the straw berry vines as being in prime condition and very promising, there are a few peach growers who insist that many peach buds were billed at that time. Owing to the excessive bearing last season, the Elberta peach trees have formed much fewer fruit buds this year than for many years. However, this within itself is not the least dis couraging, for, as a rule, the trees are always over budded. As rule, the fruit buds were absolutely dormant at the time of the extreme cold weather and this in a measure was great protection.

Basket Ball Teams
 Gained No Scalps
Triple-Headed Game Results In Loss of Victory For Both Ozark Boys and Girls Teams Saturday.

Saturday was an unfortunate day for the Ozark basket ball teams each losing to the oppos- ing side by healthy margins.
 Early Saturday afternoon a game was staged at the City Park in Ozark between the Ozark boys and Alma boys, the game resulting in hard earned score of 9 to 4 in favor of Alma.
 Saturday afternoon the girls team went to Van Buren where they played a close game with the Van Buren highschool girls, which resulted in a score of 16 to 13 in favor of the home team. This was a hard fought and well played game but the Ozark girls had had little practice and not being used to the grounds were to disadvantage.
 From Van Buren they went on to Fort Smith where they played that night and were defeated by score of 66 to 13. After play ing the close game with Van Buren the Ozark girls were tired out and hence were not as strong a match for Fort Smith as they would have otherwise been. An other disadvantage Ozark was put to was that the game was played indoors, the locals having had no practice in indoor playing.
