terday were larger than in any other county the agricultural experts have visited
 On account of breakdown of an automobile in which one of the par ties was travelling. two appointments -Martinville and Damascus-were not filled. The places visited by ex- perts were Guy, Greenbrier, Woes ter, Holland, Enola, Mt. Vernon, Sal tillo, Nilonia, Lollie, Providence, May flower and Conway.
 At each place large crowd was in attendance. 1t was estimated that more than 1000 farmers heard the addresses of the experts who visited in their community.
 Nearly 150 business men and farm CTS were in attendance at the speak ing at the courthouse in Conway last night. Addresses were made by Mir. Watson and Dr. s. P. Weirgart Both branded as ruinous to the farm CTS the present credit system, and they advised the farmers to raise all the necessary food and feedstuff so that they would be in position to pay cash for things they cannot grow. The speakers made it plain to their audience that "safe farming" is the only successful way to farm.
 Suggestions for the betterment of environments on farms were offered by the experts. Practically every farm subject was touched by one or the other of the speakers, while both urged the farmer to play safe" Raise all the food and feed stuff that you will need, then raise cot ton," was Dr. Weirgart's closing re mark.
 The campaigners left last night for Morrilton, and today are touring Conway county.

WIRES LADEN WITH
 ORDERS FOR BOOZE

The Western Union office was busy last night and this morning forward ing telegraphic orders to various liquor houses. Local men who still are off the water wagon, anticipating long drouth, are taking no chances on becoming abstainers so suddenly. The 'bone dry" liquor bill has been voted upon in both houses of the leg islature, and the governor probably will sign it tomorrow, when the law will become effective. Then it will be unlawful for whiskey or other alco- holic beverages to be shipped into the state, only for medicinal or sacra- mental purposes.

ed by the senate as a member of the
 First agricultural school board and
 R. E. Lee Wilson to succeed E. w.
 Chaney, whose vacancy was caused in manner similar to that of Mr. Hall. These appointments will later have to be confirmed by the senate.
 The Emory bill was then called up and Senator Emory spoke for an hour or more upon its good qualities, and what it would save for the tax payers of Arkansas He quoted
 freely from California laws, and also from Kansas. He was followed by Senator Carter, who for a half hour made strenuous opposition. A mo- tlon was then made to adjourn, but this was opposed by those who want ed to go into an executive session to consider the confirmation of z. M McCarroll a member of the board of control, and H. L. B'Shers, a mem Der of the penitentiary commission. Knowing that the big fight was to be made upon these, the majority of the senate voted to let it go over to another day.
 It is stated that there were some stormy scenes in the executive ses- sion Monday, and that some strong charges were made against at least one of the rejected members of the First district agricultural school board.
 Those confirmed by the senate Monday were: H. A. McCants and N. D. Harrell, Red River levee district No. 1 directors; E. w. Frost, w. M Paup, Floyd Thompson, directors of Miller levee district No. 2; P. s. Black, director St. Francis drainage district; J. w. Kuykendall and w. E. Lemon, members of state board of education; L. s. Dunaway and A. L. Hutchins, members board of trustees, Arkansas State Normal; Hamp Will Hams and J. D. Southard, members board of trustees, Arkansas tubercu- losis sanatorium; R. D. Hill, director Second district agricultural school; J. E. Rogers and s M. Davis, direc- tors of the Third agricultural school district; and s. R. Smith, director of the Fourth district agricultural school
 Two measures were defeated in the house, on Monday afternoon, one a general and the other a local meas. ure, but both of interest. The gen eral bill was by Mr. Burrow of Per ", regulating the manner in which school districts may issue bonds for the construction of school houses. It was opposed upon the ground that it placed too much power in the hands of the school boards, and defeated, 66 to IA.
 The second measure was the Choate bill to exempt Benton and White counties from the provisions of the Alexander road bill. MT. Jo- seph of Miller, and MT, Els of Ran dolph spoke against the bill ridicul- ing it as an attempt to shoot to pieces a bill which has been of much value to the state They stated that if two counties were permitted to withdraw from it's provisions, others would make an effort to follow. MT. Norheet of St. Francis made an effort to save the bill temporarily by nov ing to refer it to the Judiciary com mittee. This failed and on the vote upon the bill it was defeated 40 to 33. |

AGREES 10 REPEAL NO-FENCt DISTRICT OPPONENTS SEE HARDY
Present Petition of l,500 Names Ask. ing that District Voted in Novem-
 Der Election be Abolished.

Following the presentation of pc titions containing, it is stated, the signatures of 1,500 voters by dele gation of Faulkner county citizens and conference with Governor Brough at Little Rock yesterday af- ternoon, Representative H. B. Hardy virtually agreed to introduce a bill to abolish the stock law district of eight townships created by vote of the peo- pie in this county at the November election. The eight townships af4 fected are Walker, California, Union, Clifton, East Fork, Hardin, Cadron, and Benedict. Unless a bill is passed to abolish the district, the stock law will become effective in these town ships on May ', 1917, after which time it will be unlawful to permit any kind of livestock to run at large, except. in enclosed pastures.
 Among those in the delegation which pressed the repeal of the stock law were E. A. Dunn, II. G. Perry, J. F. Dempsey, John Southerland, w. J. Warman, T. F. Worthen and R. Haydon. Since it was found that the stock district had been voted, oppo- nents of the proposition have been actively at work throughout the county. Numerous mass meetings have been held and many have been engaged in the work of circulating petitions against the measure.

Representative Hardy is regarded by his colleagues as one of the hardest-working member of the lower house. He has already intro duced and been associated in the in troducton of probably more measures than any other representative. He states, however, that his main in terest lies in securing such appropria- tions as are absolutely required for the growth and maintenance of the Arkansas State Normal School and is devoting much of his time to ac- quainting other members with the needs of this institution, so that they will be prepared to vote intelligently upon measures relating to the school. Dr. Hardy is apparently one of the most popular of the new members and enjoys the respect of all his col leagues.

!. Jim Higgins of Conway has come to be an institution in the house chamber. For the past seven or eight sessions of the general assembly he has sat at chief clerks desk and di- rected the course of legislation in the lower house, strengthening out par liamentary tangles, accommodating members by being able to lay his hands upon any paper they desired and to tell them the exact status of any measure in which they were in terested. He served three straight terms as chief clerk and when he failed to be a candidate for re-elec- ton the next house drafted him into service, anyway, giving him an un- official position which pays the same as that of chief clerk, and this place he has held in every succeeding leg islature. At the opening of the 1917 session there was not a dissenting vote when it was proposed to employ him again.

Almost as much a fixture as Hig- gins is in the house is R. G. Duna- way of Benton township in the sen ate. Away back when the legisla- ture met in the old state house MT. Dunaway one time was elected door keeper of the senate. One never hears anything about him being a candidate, but he always turns up elected when the senate organizes and is back at his old post today.

Tho intelligent use Of tested insec-
ticides is as essential to successful
poultry keeping as intelligent feeding.
The reason why so much more i'm
portance Is attached to the extermi-
nation Of parasites on poultry than on
domestic animals Is that the parasites
affecting poultry, when unmolested.
quickly kill their hosts. whereas the
presence of parasites on animals can
do no more than worry and annoy
them.
Here are two recipes for whitewash
mixtures that will dry quickly. adhere
strongly to cement, brick or wood, and
first is cement whitewash. Slake one
half bushel of lime with boiling water.
adding the water slowly and stirring
constantly until a thin paste results. A
flve-foot piece of three-Quarter-inch
iron pipe makes good stirring rod
Is added freely and the mass is not
properly stirred. Add one-half peck
of salt to the lime paste, and stir
thoroughly. Then add water to bring
sistency. Throw a good handful of Port
land cement in each pail of whitewash,
and a teaspoonful Of ultramarine blue.
Add the cement and the blue powder
Just before the whitewash Is to be used
Stir in well. otherwise the whitewash
will be streaked. The cement makes the
whitewash stick. the bluing counteracts
the grayish color Of the cement and re-
suits in a white appearance.
A whitewash in use by the govern
ment is made as follows: Slake one
half bushel of lime with warm water.
Cover it during the process to keep in
the steam. Strain the liquid through a
fine sieve. Add a peck of salt. pre-
viously well dissolved in warm water;
three pounds of ground rice. boiled to
q thin paste and stirred in boiling hot; /;
half a pound of powdered Spanish whit
ing. and a pound of glue that has been
dissolved over slow fire. Add five
gallons Of hot water to the mixture and
stir we'll. Cover the barrel to protect
it from dirt and let the mixture stand
for a few days. This whftewash should
be applied hot. Coloring matter. as
Spanish brown, yellow ochre, red clay.
etc, can be added II desired. The ad-
dition of crude carbolic acid, or cresol.
is not recommended. Such washes tend
to darken with age and become un-
slightly. \If you prefer to add a germ
icide to the whitewash, you will find a
combination Of lime and sulphur eff1ca-
cious
These whitewashes can be applied by
sprayer or brush However, when a
sprayer is used 1t is well to strain the
liquid In order to prevent small par
ticles of grit getting into the valves
OF the sprayer and interfering with its
proper operation. With thin. smooth
whitewash no difficulty will be ex-
pertenced. A thorough application of
whitewash Is an effective way to eradi-
cate mites. Remove the roosts and
nests for painting with an insecticide.
Remove the litter. Sweep the walls
