Little Rock, Nov. 27.-The expect happened when the Constitutional onvention adjourned until the first londay in July, 1918. It was in ession three days at cost of I,OOO, but it decided one thing defi- Rtely and with practical unanimity, hd that is. that the usual procedure pllowed in drafting a new consti- Ption is not applicable at this time. ghen it came to the issue, there
 ere very few who insisted upon pntinuing in session until the new
 strument could be completed, and bere was a general agreement upon ext summer as the opportune time
 reassemble and complete the work pr which they were elected.
 An analysis of the personnel of the Pdy was most gratifying, and it is pund to be of superior type of fatesmanship and representative citi- ensnip. There are many former ate officials and congressman in
 e convention, and the average age

 mere was a small, very small, cement that contended for an inn Pediate adjournment, sine die. but DIS was unpopular and gained no eadway. There are many salutatory nanges in the: present constitution Lnich the delegates will insist upon, pme of the radical. but in keeping Yith the tendency of the times.

If so, will you so organize through your state and county councils that car loads can be bought and shipped to the com munities needing them? This could be done through the county councils or the agricultural college field fore es. Ordinarily, however, it is better where sufficient quantity of cattle or calves is wanted to have a repre- sentative of the purchaser pass on the stock before it Is shipped This state has shipped thousands of head of dairy cattle this year."
 Large numbers of the Wisconsin cattle have been brought to Arkan- sas to replenish our herds, and Texas is also furnishing large num- bers of fine bred stock Planters who have heretofore devoted their whole attention to cotton, are ship ping in great quantities of Texas cattle. and are raising more feed for them. Necessities of the war have vitalized the doctrine of di- versification which government az ents have for years been insulting into the minds of the Arkansas farm CTS.

cured. There will be many farm
boy in this county who will take these
suckers this year, cure them, sell
them and make some nice spending

Fine Corn Crop

There is a fine corn crop growing
in the recently reclaimed portion of
Spring creek bottom on the Dresden
and Greenfield road where last year
was a swamp and almost wilderness.
The crop is in a splendid state of
cultivation and this virgin soil is MAX
wonderful growth.
This is the first crop ever grown
on the north side of the ditch, di-
rectly adjoining the levee, button the
south side there is this year a fine
crop also, where last year the crop
was drowned out. This was before
the completion Of the ditch. This is
concrete example Of what may be
accomplished on reclaimed lands, and
the Enterprise predicts that within
few years all our overlooked lands
and all our old quilted lands will be
yielding abundant crops of corn, etc.
