PACIFIC PORTS TIED UP BY
LONGSHOREMEN'S STRIKE

=ONN@4Sl III -lul L-lN - - . ENllNG
San Francisco, June Promptly
at a. m. today 10000 lOngshOre-
men at every American port on the
Pacific coast quit work. Activity vir-
tually halted on San FTanciscO's wa
ter front as we'll as on the docks Of
Seattle, Portland, Tacoma, Oakland,
San Diego, Los Angeles and many
other cities.
The strike was called by the Rig
gers and StevedOTes' union and the
Bay and River SteambOatmen'
union because employers would not
agree to wage increase demands.
All shipping is affected by the
strike, with the exception of ferry
boats on San Francisco bay and such
vessels as can handle their cargoes
with their own deckhands.

doubt what that action Will be.
Several days ago Manager Bowen
received a communication from the
Penn officials for Delaware to come
there for a game on Saturday, Sep
TENDER 20. It is this game that will
no doubt be accepted This Is a much
different proposition than the one
made by Brown. This will be the
opening game for both Delaware and
Penn and consequently neither team
will likely be in very good shape. The
dates offered by Brown were late in
October and in November None OF

In addition TO Brown and Penn
many other prominent colleges have

FARMERS KEEN FOR
SEED SELECTION DAY
Growers Of Cotton and Corn Realize
the Advantage Gained by Select
ing Good Seed.
Copyright,

Little Rock, Sept. 2O.-Reports re-
ceived at the headquarters of the agri-
cultural extension service are that the
farmers are greatly interested in the
proposition for seed selection day on
September ~. Splendid results have
been accomplished by the selection of
the best cotton as we'll as corn for
seed. The Pulaski county demonstra-
ton agent says that it would be good
investment for farmer to pay a man
who understands it $25 day to 90
into his field and select cotton for
seed, rather than to depend as practi-
cally farmers do, upon the gin-run
ISeed.
Early fall blowing, more hogs, the
planting Of cover crops, and the rails
ing of more clover are among the
things which are being urged by the
service at this time.
There is no question that the hot
and dry weather which was prevail
ent over most of the state this year
saved our cotton growers from heavy
losses on account Of the boil weevil,"
said Dean j. H. Miller of the agricul-
tural extension division of the univers-
lty. However, great many farm
ers of the state realize the Importance
of diversification and there is every
indication that there is more land
to be planted in the various field crops
next year than ever before Splendid
results are promised from the clover
and legume campaigns conducted this
year, just drawing to a close"
