300 pupils present. A good siz-
ed crowd of patrons were pres
entland at 9 o'clock all assembled
in the auditorium. The room was
packed, with children standing
around the walls and also sitting
on the rostrum.
Several good talks were made
and every one seemed to realize
that truly another years work
had commenced.
All patrons who have children
who will be six years of age by
the first of January may send
them to school now but they
will not be permitted to enter in
the middle of the term.
On account of the fire in Lit
tie Rock this week it will be inn
possible to get all of the needed
school books right away but it
is thought, that this will be ad-
justed within a short time.

c CENTENNIAL HAS
BEEN CALLED OFF

Fearing a possible epidemic
through the assemblage OF
thousands of persons from over
the state at the Centennial cell
ebration in Little Rock the
week of November 1922 to OBJ
serve the one hundredth ami
versary of the formation of Ar
kansas into a territory, the Ex-
ecutive Committee Saturday de-
cided the celebration should not
be held.
Medical authorities of the
state suggested that the celebra-
ton be deferred indefinitely,
saying that a recurrence of the
influenza epidemic may follow.
Following this suggestion the Elk
ecutive Committee held a con-
ference when it was decided
that a Celebration this year would
be inadvisable.

FARMERS URGED TO
SELECT AND SAVE SEED

Arkansas has no pure seed or
seed inspection law. The result
is that poor seed, mixed sed,
seed infected with all manner of
fungus and bacterial diseases
seed full of obnoxious weed seed,
seed of every kind that cannot
be sold elsewhere is shipped into
Arkansas. The only protection
the Arkansas farmer has at
present against this is to pro
vide his own farm seed supply.
Another fact that is generally
overlooked by the farmer is that
pure, vigorous seed is as essen
tial to strong growth and max
imum production in plant life as
pure bred females and sires are
to the development and profit
able production Of animals.
Therefore the Extension Divis-
ion Of the University Of -Arkan-
sas and U. S. Department OF Ag-
riculture, cooperating, strongly
recommend that each farmer in
the state should
(1) Make careful field selec-
ton Of seed, especially of corn
and cotton.
