Oldest Ship in the World.

Mardi Gras visitors in New Or leans will have an opportunity to visit the oldest ship in the world The vessel in question, is the Brit ish ship Success" which arrived there recently for a stay of several weeks, which was employed for many years as convict carrier be- tween England and Australia.
 The Success was built in India in 1Z9O, and of course was con structed of wood. the marerial used being solid Burmah teak. She was old when the first steel ships were built. The old craft is of special interest at the present time, when wooden ship construction is receiv- ing so much attention. and well demonstrates the claim that good solid wood is the most lasting ma terial for ship building.

DOingS of 0ur Representative.

T. J. Babb, representative in the lower house of the general assem- ply from this county, has intro duced bill to submit a stock law to the voters of the county. which has passed the lower house. He has introduced bill to regulate the number of witnesses in criminal cases in Union county. He intro duced early in the session a resolu- tlon to adopt constitutional amendment making the terms of state and county officers four years and then not elegible for reelection, which failed to pass in time to be one of the three which will be on the ticket.
 He has introduced another bill providing for the collection of tax of S6 for each 20 horse power or fraction thereof for automobiles. to be collected by the sheriff, who would pay 90 per cent into the county treasury to the credit of the county general road fund and 10 per cent into the state treasury to buy license tags. The sheriff would be allowed 50 cents for collect ing each tax Mir. Clack offered an amendment to reduce this to 25 cents, This bill would make it un- lawful to run an automobile at greater speed than 10 miles an hour in towns, cities and crowded thoroughfares, nor more than five miles an hour around street cor ners. Traffic regulations are also provided and penalties prescribed.

 SERUM PLANT PRODUCTS GUARANTEED.
 Arkansas farmers who realize that their hogs are too valuable. to lose always vaecinate to immunize them against cholera. More farm CTS should realize tha. the state serum plant belongs to them and patronize 1t. They should know that all the products are turned out under the direction of the state veterinarian and are guaranteed. Many prominent veterinarians and farmers consider the state serum equal to or superior to, any ever shipped into the state.
 During the past year less than 2 per cent of the hogs vaccinated with the state made serum died. This number even included animals that were known to be infected and treatment was given with little hope of saving them.
 State serum has given excellent satisfaction because 1t is not made for profit but for results. The serum is constantly being freshly prepared and used while it is still in that condition. 1t never gets a chance to be injured by age and it is carefully guarded against any in- jury which might come from sud- den changes in temperature and possibly exposure to light.

 Already 25 Iowa and Nebraska farmers have signed contracts for tracts on which they will build houses and begin cultivation.
 The townsite is three miles from Wesson and will be named Case ment, after Sir Roger Easement. the martyred leader of the Irish rebellion.

CORN AND COTTON YIELDS INCREASED.
 Under the direction of the Coun= ty agricultural agents last year. lll8 farmers who planted and followed the modern methods ad- yocated by agricultural experts in the production of corn on 1920 acres, secured an average increase of l2.82 bushels per acre over or dinary methods. CLOS coopera- tors with corn acreage of 68. 965 using improved methods. also. in- creased their yields very materially.
 6,32Z farmers with the cotton acreage of 8,2o8 acres, by using selected seed and improved meth ods were able to increase their yield on an average of 383.Z3 pounds of seed cotton per acre. These figures prove conclusively, according to the report of c. w. Watson. state agent, with the Ex- tension Division, that scientific methods used in crop production pay. Already more than 10000 farmers who expect to raise corn, and 5000 cotton farmers have pledged themselves to select their seed before planting this year.
 If you did not select your seed corn from the field last fall, pick ears from the crib at this time, line up, select and discard until you have secured the right number of the best ears of available corn. Be sure to test the cotton seed for percentage of germlnation since this is very important in Arkansas.
 Farmers who do not know how to select their seed corn or test the cotton seed should get in touch with their county agents or write to the Colleoe of Agriculture, Fayetteville, for information. Look after your seed now before the rush of spring work makes it im- possible.
 ARE YOU GETTING YOUR SHARE.
 Poultry products in the United States are said to be equal in value to one-half the entire corn crop. While the farmers of Ohio make more from their poultry and eggs every year than all the wealth pro- duced by the gold and silver mines of Colorado. There is money in poultry. That is why Arkansas farmers should give more attention to chickens, ducks, turkeys and geese. We have an ideal climate and wherever necessary feed can be easily produced in abundance This is good time of the year to get ready to increase the farm flock. The first step is to build good but inexpensive shelter, since all poultry should have protection through the winter and hens lay best when they have cozy quarters.
