 Brinkley, Arkansas.
 Dear MT. Folsom:
 We are having a good shower of rain to-day which was badly needed. The ground was very dry before this rain as we have had very little snow and no rain since last Fall. In the ploWed fields the surface was dusty and where the ground had been packed, such as on the road or our play ground. These are wide enough that one might easily run their hands in them and are of indefinite lengths.
 Some of the farmers or our neighborhood have been prepar- ing to plant Spring oats. The farmers are shipping their grain and stock just as fast as the railroads can get cars for that purpose. The management seems somewhat improved since the government has taken con- trol over all the railroads. One night last week there were eight car loads of stock shipped from our little town, Hamlin, which is of no greater importance as a shipping center than Hunter. Then, too. there were other car loads of stock during that week, making a total of about sixteen carloads for that week only. There is only one grain elevator but it sends out from three to six or seven car loads of grain of various sorts each week. Of course these shipments will not
