Among the Farmers.

Demonstrations conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture on the control of cotton wilt, which have been in progress for several years, re- suited last year in the planting of a larger acreage of wilt-re- sistant cotton than ever before with an actual saving greatly in excess of that of any previous year. The great possibilities of of this work is shown by reports from two cotton planters in South Carolina who state that their savings last year through growing wilt-resistant cotton was approximately $115, 5,000.

Interesting Letter From the Arkansas Soldiers Head-

Several of the Soldier Boys living at Brinkley and surround ing territory have been going home each week since peace was declared.
 Some idea of what Camp Pike means to Arkansas, and particularly to Little Rock, in a business way is indicated by amount distributed among the officers and men between Dec. 1st. and 10 as November pay. $300,000 in treasury warrants, and the men S950,000 in cash |after allottments, and insurance Ipremiuhls and payments on the

 Forrest N. Croxton of Arka delphia, who is serving as an Army Y M. c. A secretary with the A. E. F. was with the American forces in the big drive in September. In a letter to his wife at Philadelphia he describes the welcome received in a town taken from the Germans, of a big battle, and of distributing among the soldiers cigars, cig- arettes, chewing gum and to- bacco, and other things he had taken along in big trunk.
 The number of troops at Camp Pike has not decreased perceptibly despite the fact that about 5000 were discharged last week. This is due to the fact that thousands are being brought from other camps for demobiliZation at the Arkansas cantonment.
 The 57th. Infantry arrived at Pike this week from Camp Logan Texas. This is a regular army regiment, and it will re- main at Pike. Each of the men will be paid up to the last day in camp and given 3 Is cents per mile from the camp to his home for transportation. As the railroad administration has granted soldiers a rate of 2 cts. the discharged soldier will have a surplus for meals and other expenses. Men from overseas will receive, in addition, one ex- tra months pay.
 The Government has estab- lished a big aviation plant in Little Rock where airships and paraphernalia will be housed. The Army Y. M. c. A. has open ed quarters at the plant.

Rifle Match on Saturday
Best Ever Staged Here
Harrisburg and Keystone Clubs Aim to Turn Out Hundreds
of Sharpshooters Who VIII Help TO Vanquish the Hun

The Conodoguinet range of the
Harrisburg Rifle Club was the scene
last Saturday, June 20, of possibly
the most exciting rifle match ever
held in the vicinity of the city of
Harrisburg.
During the season of 1917 the
Harrisburg Rife Club trimmed the
P. r. r. Keystone Rifle Club three
times in succession, each time with
a ten-man team shooting from each
club. This year the keystone Club
evened the score by decisively de-
feating the Harrisburg club on the
Conewago range by team total of
sixteen points.
Saturdays match was the second
OF the three interclub matches for
the year and was the most hotly con-
tested match in the series, or in
the history of either club.
AT the end of the 300-yard shoot
ing the Keystone club led by scant
total of three points, but at the long
er range the Harrisburg club came
across with a whirlwind finish and
put on the most excellent team aver
age OF 80 $40 per cent, or q total of
227 out of $50 points at 500 yards,
and winning the match by a close
total of IL points.
Score, Harrisburg Rifle Club, 438;
P. r. r. Keystone Rifle Club, APT.
