A GOOD WAY TO SELL PRODUCE.

Hundreds of farmers are using the blackboard method to help sell their produce, according to the county agents with the Extension Division Cf the University of Arkansas. By this method farmers living on or near pub lie roads have placed blackboard where it can easily be seen by auto tourists and others on which they list the articles for sale and quote thefr prices. Taking advantage of this plan, many people are making it a practice to buy butter, milk, cottage cheese, eggs, poultry, sausage, hams, bacons, vegetables, berries, fruit, melons, etc, direct from the farmer on which they make a considerable saving. Many farmers are using this method also for the purpose of letting their neighbors know what they themselves wish to buy. The blackboard method of sell ing produce was first suggested by President J. C. Futrall of the Univer. sity last year.

MONEY IN RABBITS.
Produced at LiteIe Cost, Increase Rap idly and Will Help Supply Meat
 for Home Consumption

The present shortage of beef and pork can not be remedied quickly. However, rabbits breed rapidly, ma ture early and furnish a palatable and highly nutritious nieat; consequently. they can be made to increase our meat supply enormously within few months.
 The fact that rabbits are grown easily, maintained at very small feed cost, not susceptible to disease, stand confinement we'll, are very prolific and require but a small space in the back yard or under back shed should cause many to turn their attention to this industry.
 The Belgian Hare, Flemish Giant and New Zealand Red are recommend ed on account of their size, prolific ness and their splendid table qualities.
 Farmers Bulletin No. 496 on Rab- bit Culture has just been issued by the United States Department of Agri- culture and will bs sent free to any one interested. Information on this subject will be furnished glad ly on application to H. B. Lansden, Extension Division, Old Statehouse, Little Rock, Arkansas.

AlRSHIP REPORT IMPERsoNAL
Officials Accused by Senate Body Of,
Delay in Equipping the United
States Army.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The long
awaited report of the senate military
subcommittee investigating aircraft
production was submitted on Thursday
with scathing arraignment of delays
in the early days of the war, review
Of improved conditions and recon-
mendations for the creation of a new
separate department of aviation with a
cabinet officer at it's head.
Disclaiming wholesale condemnation
of the aircraft program, the subcom-
mittee praised much that has been ac-
complished and predicted:
eve are approaching period when
quantity production of planes soon
may be hoped for The report is inn
personal and says all questions of dis
honesty or official corruption are left
to the department of justice inquiry,
conducted by Charles g. Hughes.
The original $64O,000,O00 appropria-
ated by congress for aviation in July,
1917, says the report, has been ex-
hausted and practically wasted" with
S884,000,00O more found necessary.
