PLANTS MEMORIAL
MONUMENT WILL BE ERECTED IN
HONOR OF HENDRIX MEN
WHO JOINED coLoRs.

The Hendrix students are certainly a
loyal bunch. Though the war is over.
they have not lost their enthusiastic
loyalty. With the same spirit that led
over 500 Hendrix men to join the colors,
the student body now proposes to erect
suitable memorial in honor of the SOL
der boys who went out from the college
to fight for humanity They are attack
ing the problem in businesslike way,
roo They have organized Hendrix Col
lege Student s Memorial Association and
are not only contributing themselves, but
through this association they are ap-
pealing to all old Hendrix men and
friends of the college everywhere to share
with them the privilege and the honor Of
erecting the monument. They propose to
put approximately two thousand dollars
into it. The monument will be placed in
conspicuous place on the campus and
will have full record of the men and
the part which they and the college play
ed in the war;
Old students and friends of the col
lege are responding literally. All who
want to see the college honor in fitting
way the Hendrix men who joined the
colors will write at once, sending remit
tances to James R. Bush, Hendrix col
lege, Conway, Arkansas. All money re-
ceived is turned over to the treasurer
of the college for safekeeping.

INTERESTING LETTER
FROM SON.

Mrs. Addie Snow of Jacksonville has
received an interesting letter from her
son, Hamilton Wicket, stationed at New
York City, where he is on board the q.
S. ship New Hampshire. The letter is
as follows:
Dear Mother:

but sorry to hear of Jim s death, did not
expect such news as that 1t seems as

France last Thursday. I was on liberty
in New York Sunday and sure had fine
time. I will be in Philadelphia tomor-
row night for want to have good time
while I am here. We will leave for
France again soon.
You ask me if I am going to get out

waiting, etc. At ten bushels to the tree,
at three dollars a bushel tree would
bring $50. That is 10 per cent on $500.
With SO trees to the acre one acre would
yield $1,000, being 10 per cent on an in
vestment of $4,000. This, mind you, is
for the year 1918, one of the worst crop
years ever known in Arkansas
The average price for these apples
has been $1.75 bushel and there has
always been ready sale for them right
at home
They have always taken premiums at
the fairs at Bigelow, the Perry County
fair, the fair at Little Rock and at the
state fair at Hot Springs The train
carrying over the U. S. the Arkansas
exhibit train had a bushel of these apples
which were pronounced the finest apples

dianpolis, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Omaha,
and every place, people who saw them
pronounced them the finest they had
ever seen.
There are so acres in this farm all is
fenced and cross fenced. There is a nice
house on it which cost $500.
These apple trees would be cheap at
$40 each at which price they, alone, would
bring $4,000. The owner is offering
this place for $500 and will give pos

HOG SHIPPING
HELPS FARMERS
SMALL STOCKMEN REAP RICH
HARVEST FROM COOPERATIVE
SCHEME OF COUNTY AGENTS,

Small farmers of Pulaski county, who
have so long been handicapped by lack of
a market, are eagerly taking advantage
of the opportunity afforded by the first
cooperative shipments of hogs made by
the Pulaski county agents last week. AS
evidence of the success of the undertake,
ing, James Sargent and Earl Smith, de-
monstration agents for the county, re-
ceived recently two checks, totalling $5,-
264S9 as net proceeds of the hog ship
ments made by them last week.
Already Mr.. Sargent and Mr.. Smith
have more than carload of hogs listed
for Saturdays shipment. In shipping
these hogs, Mr.. Sargent prepares state
ment for each farmer, showing exactly
what his hogs brought, his net proceeds
and his share of the shipping expenses.
Mark Valentine, prominent Scott plant
er, expressed himself as highly pleased
with the results of the new plan. Twen-
ty hogs owned by him and included in the
county shipment to st. Louis last Satur-
day had topped the market, selling at
l7.65 cents. In speaking of the work
Mr.. Valentine said that the cooperative
shipping plan is the greatest thing that
demonstration agents have done for the
farmers of Pulaski county.
ct know what farmers are up against
when they try to sell hogs in Little
Rock said Mr.. Valentine, because |
have tried it. You spend whole lot of
time and then you get what the butcher
wants to give you, which is considerably
less than the market price. You can It
expect the farmer to become enthusiastic
about live stock if he has to go about
The Pulaskian. (Pulaski Heights [Little Rock], Ark.) 1915-1929, 1919-02-14

the city peddling his cattle and hogs
and finally taking price far below that
offered in st. Louis. And of course, it
is not profitable to ship either cattle
or hogs in less than carload lots, so CO.
operative shipping offers the only solu-
tion of the marketing problem of the
small farmer
In speaking of the shipment, Mr.. Sar
gent said that the fact that it pays to
raise hogs was brought home to the farm
ers forcibly last Saturday, when the pure
bred Duroc-Jerseys sold for 5.15 cents
more pound than the razorbacks.
J. III. Tull, field agent in marketing
of the University Extension Division, has
prepared some valuable information for
the benefit of farmers who may be plan
ming cooperative shipments, which has
been summarized as follows:
The embargo on shipping hogs to the
large livestock markets has not been
removed and it is still necessary to have
a permit from the railroad before the
shipment can or will be moved.
After the necessary number Of hogs
has been secured to make the shipment,
the business manager should set certain
day, preferably about week ahead, on
which to load out. He should then i'm
mediately consult the local railway agent,
engage a car and be sure to advise the
agent to arrange for his permit for that
day. Ii the day he sets is not satisfac-
tory for the railroad to give him good
service he and the agent can arrange that.
In notifying the shippers when to bring
in their hogs, remember that you cannot
emphasize too strongly the Importance
of having their hogs there Tell them
on account of the embargo that each
railroad division is allowed SO many cars
of hogs each day and that you must ship
when they advise. Also show them the i'm
portance of having enough to make a
carload, because a short car will make
more freight on each shipper. A mini
mum 80 foot car is 1900 pounds, and
freight must be paid ON that amount.
From 80 to 100 average hogs will make a
load. One hundred and thirteen, 150-
pound hogs will make car.
The livestock agents of the big rail-
road lines are located here and if things
do not run smooth with you, phone, write
or wire us and we will do everything
possible to assist you to get service.

WASHINGTON, March 20-If Presi-
treaty satisfactory to the senate, Senator
Lenroot of Wisconsin, Republican, said
in an address on the league of nations
before the Washington Commercial club
here, congress may pass a joint resolu-
ton summarily ending the war with Ger
many without a treaty, leaving Ameri-
can participation in the league Of nations
to future determination.
Senator Lcnroot declared re favored
the general plan of the league as pro
posed, but would not be coerced into vot-
ing for the constitution as now drawn
without amendment.
Asserting that the United States today
is in "A most critical situation, with AM
crican principles and ideals endangered
by the plans for the league, Senator Len
root continued:
I'VE are told that the President will
not permit peace with Germany unless
there is made as part of the peace treaty
the constitution OF the league as drawn
III large part by Great Britain. We are
told that this will be done to force the
senate to accept without amendment this
British constitution rs-olutioniZing our
government and its foreign and domestic
policies. In other words the senate Is
to be coerced to do something which 1T
otherwise would not do, and public opin-
ion in America is thus to be coerced in
demanding ratification
In my Judgment, President Wilson has
once more misiudged the temper Of the
American people and the senate
| will not be coerced into voting for the
constitution of the league and | am SURE
the senate will not be. The proposed con
stitution will be considered upon its mer

interests OF the United States, the sen
ate will propose such amendments as il
may deem necessary

club over the senate OF postponing peac,
is stuffed with straw adding:
