4 City FamiIy's Experience On
 Farm.

Wednesday evening 1 accepted Sn invitation to spend the night with Geo Garrison, of the firm of Geo. Garrison & Son., Blow Pipe and Sheet Metal Works, APO West Markham street. I found an interesting family of five boys and four girls. Miss Marie IS our North Point correspondent. For rest attends to the office in Little Rock. while MT. Garrison and son, Horace, run the farm and do the con struction work in other cities.
 About four years az they came out and looked at a 240 acre farm. They bought it. Then they knew they were going to farm Some small patches Of if were in cultivation, but along the branches, ditches and fences were thickets so high and dense that the entire place looked from the house like woods. The land is mile and ouarter from the Ft. Smith road, game is plentiful and the place IS TO- mantle looking and ideally located.
 Tn front of it are mountains, on the hack side runs very pretty ittie

creek. Most the place is valley land and is very fertile. They have raised three crops on it and have most of the old land back in cultivation The land has now assumed the appearance of well tiled farm They were one of the very few who raised enough corn last year to run them and still have corn in the crib, notwithstanding the fact that they fed sixty-five hogs last winter, which accommodatingly took the cholera and died, saving them the disagreeable task of butchering them.
 Int first year they gathered their crops iii sacks, the second year they had a wagon load and last year, though most farmers made failure, they made very good crop of corn.
 This is just about as good as any city people do no farm. Very few of them ever make a success the first year. The Garrisons consider the ad- vice given farmers, by city people, in the light of their first years exper- fence They know that the city peo- pie who are so free with their. advice to the farmer, know just about as much about farming as they did and would make no better crop the first year than they did. Real experienced farmers receive the advice given them by city people with toleration, or 8 sheer, according to the amount of good nature they have, or their an ticipation of making a good deal with their city advisor.

END BIG RUN ON
 FERTILIZERS
ARKANSAS FERTILIZER COM PANY WAS MORE FORTUNATE THAN MOST COMPANIES IN
 SECURING MATERIAL.

The Arkansas Fertilizer Company will close within the next week or 20 after a very satisfactory season. This mill has been run full time, and while the profits have been anything but satisfactory, because of the high price of raw materials, the demand for fer. tilizers has been exceptionally goof and this in small way has made up for light profits
 We have been more fortunate than q great many of our competitors says Hayley M. Bennett, president of the company, "in the matter of secur- ing raw material. Others have been closed down for month or more, but we were able to get material and could keep on running.
 There is no fear of the government taking over the phosphate supply, CT any other used in fertilizer The gov. ernment wants us to keep on running as long as We can, for fl recognizes the advantage of having d good sup ply of fertilizer at time when the whole country is planting soodstuff.'
 The fertilizer company has begun the erection of an acid plant to re- place the one destroyed by fire few months ago. It will cost about $3o,- 900 to install this plant, machinery for which is now en route to Little Rock The plant will be ready to re- sume the manufacture of sulphuric acid by the middle of the summer, and right now there is tremendous de mand for acids

This is my second trip to the Big Maumelle country As it is my first time to visit the same section the sec ond time for The Pulaskian was very anxious to see how I would be receiv- ed. We'll I have been delighted with my reception Those who had taken the Pulaskian when I was here before have bragged on it so much to their neighbors that nearly all 1 have seen who were not already taking it took it this time They were so well pleased with my ramblings that nearly every body insisted on my taking dinner with them or spending night at their homes. Because of their hospitality have remained longer than I would, and possibly I have seen much to write about that I otherwise would not have seen. Certainly I cannot say too much in favor of the simple life as I have been living it out here and seeing others live it, in fact, if I could get a good cook I would be tempted to stay here.

OPERATES TWO
 GRAIN ELEVATORS
uAYEs GRAIN 6 COMMISSION co. ALSO BUYS SITE IN STUTT- CART FOR ANOTHER
 ONE.

With an elevator on two railroads, the Hayes Grain x Commission Co., now has one of the best equipped nIants in the state. For some time the company has had an elevator in con- nection with it's Argenta plant, locat- od on the Rock Island tracks. All the grain handled by the company had to be switched to this elevator As the warehouses had trackage on the Iron Mountain railroad also, it was considered good business to erect an elevator on that side of the building also, and this new plant is now about ready for operation.
 Chops are ground in connection with the elevators, and at least twen- ty cars of grain d:ily can be handled by the two plants.
 The Hayes Grain & Commission Co., is doing considerable expanding in other lines. It has added line of wholesale groceries to it's grain and feed store in Stuttgart, and puprchas- ed g. site on the Cotton Belt tracks for an elevator, which will be erect ed when trade in that territory de- mands it. The purchase was just a protection for the future, when desir- able sites might be difficult to obtain.
 Caughey Hayes, the head of the company, states that the business Of the concern has been excellent, and he expects to see it continue without let up. all through the year.

As I had been up the creek on the ether side I followed a trail on this side and found l was much nearer to my destination than I expected.
 I missed the foot log I was directed to, and continued up the old tramway until supposed had reached it's end, then I followed an old log road to near the top of big mountain. From there I could see in the distance the farms along the Big Maumelle I had left, but no other habitation was in sight. Nothing was to be seen but a sea of other mountains covered with timber and the gorges between and a red streak, up another mountain in the distance, which I wisely concludtd was an abandoned log road.
 Then crossed over to the twin peak of the mountain I was on. Their peaks are a quarter of mile apart, connected with a rock saddle. Be- tween was a patch of the prettiest ferns I ever saw, about knee high. In these mountains are acres and acres of ferns which are very beautiful at this time of year From the top Of

More Strenuous Work.

started out Thursday morning sore and stiff from my trip down P~- nacle determined to take life easy. For one day at least I would not rush along at a break neck speed. Passing northeast through North Point, at din ner time, I passed two farms, but could find no one at home, so I did without dinner as l have done several times before. I think it is very good idea to miss a meal or two now and then, it puts fellow in good prac- tice for the war times ahead of us when conditions will be reserved. Then it will be a good thing to get meal now and then. For a distance of eight or more miles these two farms were the only settlements along the road. I suppose all the people at them were either fishing or hunting. The bridge across tht Maumelle on this road was the old-fashioned covered kind. The last one of the kind I saw was across the Patoka river in Indiana. That was forty years ago.
