 ISSUED BY UNIV. OF ARK ANSAS

Fayetteville, Ark, Aug. 1.-The University of Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station has just issued a bulletin destined to be of great inter- est and value to the apple growers of the state. It's title is "The Effect of Cross Pollination on Size, Color, Shape and Quality of the Apple" The bull letin gives the results of a two years survey of twenty orchards in Wash ington county and of 11,290 separate pollinations which were made. The conclusion is drawn that apple grow CTS are justified in planting varieties primarily for the benefit of cross pol lination to secure the best develop ment of the apple, and II. n.entioning the varieties which seem to lend them selves best to this development.

 cannot ask for space to give the detailed workings of the Community Council, sufficient is it for all loyal citizens to know that this Council is ordered by the State authorities.
 It is up to the citizens of Sprngdale to show their patriotism by coming to- gether and doing what we are asked to do.
 This is not time for money mak- , ing and pleasure seeking by the American people We have got to back up the five million of boys that the War Cabinet says we must have on the field of battle and in training by next June if we are to defeat the Hun and end the war in the shortest length of time and with the least out lay of men and money.
 The world is unanimous in its yer sdiet that it is America's job to see to 1t that Germany is beaten to her knees, that she is made to pay the last farthing for the hellish atrocitits per petrated upon the innocent women and children of devastated France and Belgium
 am going to appoint next Monday night August 26, 8:30 at the Audi torium as the time and place for the men and women of Springdale to come together and organize a Community Council; If the citizens of this school district are not loyal enough to give their time to this pressing war mea- sure 1 will be compelled to report that fact to the authorities who appointed me to perfect such ar organization
 Let there be no slackers. Every man and woman in this town ought to be present next Monday promptly at 8:30 and show to our boys that we have not been called upon for any thing that we did not do our best to answer the call.
