This has been the busiest week the farmers have had this year It is the first week fit for blowing and tho farmers-that is many of them-did their first blowing There was a big frost and some ice Wednesday morn ing, but from then on the weather has been fine until the end of the week Sunday morning, April the 1st-April Fool Day-the weather man had to fool us with an April shower If he send no more rain the shower will be good for the fresh plowed land and will encourage the gardens and trees to grow and put on foliage as never before. Some of the apples trees are now in full bloom and nearly all the other trees, including the dogwood have bloomed, and it is corn planting time.
 was informed that to see the show places of Pulaski county must go down the river from Argenta.
 l started out to take this advice. found excellent piked road and rich level land, with sloughs and swamps interspersed, otherwise the things of interest were the works of men. 10 me there was not as much of interest to be seen in my twenty mile hike as in one hours walk in the hills.
 I continued on as far as Galloway's s stock farm and then cut across the country to McAlmont on the Iron Mountain through half wild country inhabited exclusively by colored peo- pie.
 Before reaching the stock farm passed by the new dredge now being built. The dining room and kitchen boat and the sleeping boat for the crew are about completed. A pit is being dug for the dredge boat and it will be built next
 The boats are being built on dry mence dredging the twenty mile canal from the dry end. The dredge will float in the canal as it makes it. The right of way is cleared and is the stumpiest piece of ground I ever saw and if road it would take ton of dynamite to rid one mile of the stumps, but. as it is the dredge will remove them as the only dirt.
 As I was leaving the stock farm the employe with whom I was talking gave me his card, which stated that D. F. S. Galloway Gone of the members of the plumbing firm whose ad ap- pears at the head of our first page) was owner and w. s. Sheets, herds man. Pure bred Hereford cattle and Duroc-Jersey hogs are the specialties of this ranch.
 At night 1 put up at another place where I received card, but this time it read w. J. Littlefield, breeder of Fine Italian Queens
 Now, if he just had fine Russian queen I know where he could dispose of one.
 In my past experience in stock rais- ing counties the cards carried and used by the employees, were poker decks, larriats, six shooters and buck ing bronchos. Certainly more inter esting than small pasteboard and as to the owners name, you could tell by looking at him that he was either Reddy, Curly, Shorty, High Pockets or something else equally as signifi- cant.

 MT. H. M. Cottrell's letter in Satur- days Gazette is most timely one and a copy of it should hang in every house, in every city, town, village and hamlet of the South. If every one would read also the article in the April number of Worlds Work "Ro- nance of Seeds" they would find from it that owing to the present war there is great falling off in the seed supply not only for flowers, but vegetables. With our country plunged into the mighty conflict, there is no telling what the food conditions may be. Let everybody plant pumpkins, kershaws. beans and peas of all varieties. Onions are very essential to our army and to the people generally. We are having cool weather now, so the blows and hoes are doing their part.

 1 stopped over one night with B. Sunderman on Nubbin Ridge, about five miles of Jacksonville. When I went to the field found him disking his corn land with an Avery motor. and he will use the same power t., blow with. He bought this to run his peanut thresher, and has adopted 1t to farm as well as freight purposes. Last year he had fifty acres of pea nuts and threshd 1000 bushels, be- sides feeding several hundred bush els. He has big bunch of hogs which keep fat on them and they are fine for his horse. His cows do not do we'll on them, but his fine bunch of Angora goats are as fond of them as the boys in the peanut gallery at i. city show.
 His table is finished with the best from the farm. Homegrown sor- ghum, country sausage and sweet po- tatoes as fresh and nice as when put away last fall. He has enough on hand to run him until June. His method of serving potatoes was new to me. He wraps them in paper, separately, preferably out of Sears, Roebuck catalog, putting them in barrels and storing them upstairs, where, as I said before, they keep perfectly without any further atten- tion.
 He has large family-nine chil- dren-and a nice, comfortable two story residence He designed and con- structed the school house, Central School, and so far it is the tastiest and most conveniently arrange school building I have seen. Though born in this country, both of his parents were born in Germany He is a great admirer of democracy and hopes the people of Germany will at once follow Russia's example and establish a de mocracy
 Just three-quarters of a mile from Central School, on Route 3, is Davis Chapel, on Route 2, between there is Kyzer's store. This is a large and important community. Formerly there were five schools in the district, but the four white school have been e<n- solidated until now there only three. On Route 3 the county is best known as Nubbin Ridge. It is a very pro- gressive section and Miss Leona Bob- bitt, of Route ?, will represent The Pulaskian in it.

MINOR WINS HIS BOUT
 WITH TONY ROCHELLA
THE MEMPHIS BATTLER KNOWS MORE ABOUT GAME THAN
 ARMY AND NAVY BATTLER.

Boxing fans who gathered at Billy Laytons club in the old Grand Opera house last night got not only big program, but were also treated to a corking good main event, which was staged between Tony Rochella. of the Army and Navy Hospital, and Battling Minor, of Memphis
 This bout was the Battler's initial appearance in this city in over a year and he received warm reception when he entered the ring Rochella had trained hard for the mill and was in excellent shape. The first few rounds proved Minors superiority, for Ee knows more about the boxing game than Rochella, and it was not long before the Battler's wallops in Tonys mid-section began to tell on the Army and Navy boy.
 In the fifth round Minor sent Rochella down for the count and the song saved him. The minutes rest cid Rochella much good. He tore into the Battler at the opening of the sixth but Minor waited his chance and put over the "k O. in the form of a left jolt to the stomach. The blow was fair and the bout, when it lauded, was over.

PAYING " oRoE7.

@Fhe new legislative bill looking to fhe putting of Garmrd county on a cash tasis is now before the legisi9- iure. II has been scrutiniled by the sshankers of Hot Springs, by the off. cials of the county and by the board of governors of the Business Ner's League. ana will help answer the quas- ton Of putting this county on cash basis
 One biz feature of the bill especially appealing is that the warrants are f, he raid for m the numerical order O. their issue. If that feature alone ob- tained in the bill, much would le sar ed The idea of a county warrant he ing worth mors to the man who's par iieular zeal of knowledge O. when there aiTl be cash in the treasury be. ing worth more to that man. than to the man who has not the time to guard the county treasury is certainly worth while.
 There are other features of the bill looking to the borrowing of money which is to be helpful to morrowine money. If Garland county can borrow 2 lump sum of money and establish che county on cash basis, then after. wards careful expenditure of the funds can keep the county on cash basis, and instead of paying beta cen 9 per cent and iQ0 per cent for a deficient scrip. the county would bc paying straight six or eight per cent for borrowed money
 Whatever legislation the state may adopt generally looking to a correction of the taxing situation will be gener ally helpful to us. but it the state law moking body will give Garland county this particular legislation. we believe 4that within two years all of the coun- ties of the state will have observed a worthy precedent and will be the win ler by following the same course
