PRESIDENT FUTRALL HAS sENSI BILE PLAN TO BEAT THE HIGH
 COST OF LIVING.
MAINTAIN BULLETIN BOARD
Claims Blackboard System Will Serve the Farmers as a Valuable Means of Making Known Their Wants To
 One Another.
Fayetteville

Fayetteville
 President John C. Futrell of the University of Arkansas at Fayette vile has suggested that as & means of assisting farmers to dispose of their produce and of enabling consumers 10 secure farm products for their use, there should be d wide extension of q plan which has already been put into practic by some farmers. The plan proposed is that each farmer should maintain a bulletin board on which will be listed the articles which he wishes to sell or buy. MT Futrell in speaking of the matter said: "The plan first suggested itself to me from hearing owners of automobiles say that they wished that they might buy farm produce for their personal use while on trips to the country. Some people are doing this already, but great many are prevented from trying 1t by reason of the fact that they do not know at which farm houses they can secure what they want. Many per sons hesitate to go to a farm house offering to buy unless they know that the farmer has something to sell.
 There are now about 25,000 auto mobiles in Arkansas The great ma joritv of these are owned in the cities make trips to the country for pleasure if for nothing else They could easily bring back in their cars such things as butter. milk. cottage cheese, eggs. poultry. sausage, hams, bacon, vege- tables. berries, fruits. melons, etc. They could probably save little money by purchasing directly from the farmer and they would in most cases get a fresher and more satisfactory product than if they bought from the grocery store.
 "In order to make the plan most ef- triling cost. on the public road near his home a blackboard on which he would write a list of things he had for sale Prices should be quoted and the blackboard should be kept up 10 date.
 "A part of he board might be re- served for things that the farmer want ed to buy believe that if this prac- tice were generally followed many people living in cities and towns would soon get into the habit of look ing direct to the country for a great part of their foodstuffs. The black board system would also serve the farmers as a valuable means of mak. ing known their wants to one an other"

Litlc Rock.
 John T. Page, commissioner of az. ricuiture. has had his attention called fo q matter of importance in regard 10 food conservation hy a letter from $. F. Dillon. general manager of public utilities of Hot Springs The Ieuer from MT Dillon contained q clipping from a newspaper giving an account of the shipment of eight carloads Of eggs from Philadelphia, which netted s31,7 In referring 10 this matter MT Dillon says:
 Some time in the distant future Arkansas is going 10 buy back these eggs from the North and as they un- doubtedly improve with age. We will have 10 pay considerably more for them than the Philadelphia merchants sold them for.
 What l am driving at is this: Is there no cold storage system in Arkan- sas that could take these eggs and hold them until later on, thereby al lowing no money to escape from the state?'
 The comment of Mir Dillon is per tnent." said MT Page We have am pie cold storage facilities in Little Rock Pine Bluff, Fort Smith, TeXar- kama, Jonesboro. Helena and Hot Springs and other large towns distrib uted throughout the state to take care of all the surplus poultry products that is shipped out of the state during the hee"v producing period through the s,ai..r, and summer Ii is q well known fact that there is a distinct shortage of eggs and poultry products through the late fall and winter sea sons and that exceedingly high prices for poultry and eggs prevail all over the state. The cost. of keeping eggs and dressed poultry in cold storage is less exepnsive in Arkansas than in Chicago. and with ample facilities for the preservation of these products by cold storage it would seem that very important economic and business mat ter has been overlooked and neglected by the business interests of our state. I hope those particular citizens who are interested in cold storage plants will take steps 10 readjust their busi- ness organizations in such way as to enable them to take care of our surplus products of this character in the future II is matter of consider able importance to the people at large"

Brazil Losing Rubber Trade.

One of the most striking economic changes in recent years has been the loss by Brazil of it's dominant posi- ton in the rubber trade. Whereas. Il few years back, the world looked to South America for most of it's crude rubber, 1t is now getting the larger share from the far East. The Bra gillian product Is obtained from trees that grow wild, and little has been done toward cultivation of the trees. In Sumatra. Ceylon, Burmah and other countries millions of trees have been set out and are now coming into bear ing. This domestic product is said to be slightly superior to that obtained from Brazil, and the trees improve with age The financial loss to Brazil through its decreasing exports has be come serious matter.-New York Times
