LITTLE RIVER ADVISORY BOARD fiAIsED FOR GOyMTY
Local Men are Named on Advisory Board for Little River County;
 Seed Supply for 1920.


 Reports from all over over Arkan- Sas clearly indicate that 9 depl0rable condition exists regarding a supply of dependa ble seed of all kinds for planting next spring, The continuous fall nain3 destroyed the vitality oi practically all the cotton seed except the early picking and most of that was sold to the oil mills. Corn was bad iy damaged by the wet weather and gatmination of practically the whole crop is questionable. Cow peas, par ticularly the whippoorwill variety, m0ided and routed in the fields; other varieties were badly damaged Pea nuts sprouted in the ground before they could be harvested. The incess- ! terferred with the seeding of the small grains that the acreage in these crops is greatly reduced.
 CondtionS in the neighboring states l are not much better than Arkansas. The outlook in the whole, for a supp ] ly of dependable seed for the planting 1 of next years staple crops is rather l gloomy, To alleviate this condition, as fer as possible, the Extension Div ision of the University of ArkanSas and U. g. Department of Agriculture, cooperating, has put it's entire organ i zation into play
 ] In most of the counties of the state i the Extension Division has an Agri- 1 cultural Advisory Board assisting the ] County Agent. This Advisory Board is composed of a man and woman in each school district of every county so organized. A seed survey sheet , members of the Advisory Boards in each county. They are asked to call d meeting of the progressive farm CTS of their respective school district and urge special care of all kinds of seed on hand or yet obtainable; to in- 
 ] sist that no seed shall be sold to be , shipped out of the state; to make a list of all seed that will have to be pur chased in their school district for next spring. planting; to make another list of all farm seeds that may be for sale in their respective school districts. The seed survey sheets will be re- turned to the County Agent in each l county IS soon as possible. He, with the assistance of the executive com mittee of the County Agricultural Ad- visry Board will tabulate the sheets and reports same to the State office or the Extension Division. The State of i flee covering the state, and as far as possible, supply demands from local i sources. The Marketing Service of the Extension Division will do it's ut most toward locating dependable seed 1 outside of the state to supply what, ever deficiency may exist.
 l This is an admirable program. if tle farmers all over the state will CO., ! operate with the Extension Division it may be possible that reasonable supply of good seed at moderate cOs' can be secured and what now looks lllse a seed famine may be averted
 The Little River News urges every farmer, banker, merchant and prof essional man in Little River County to assist.
 Meetings for the above purpose should be held in each school diSurc- at once. MT. Farmer, if your Advis~ ory Board member fails you, tell him about it. This is too important mat ter to be delayed,

Hon. Oscar NJ. Eaton makes an.
nouncement that he will be a candj-
date for State Senator, which honor
able position he has held during the
two last sessions of the Legislature
Mr.. Eaton made splendid record in
the Senate, and was looked upon as
one of the leading men in that body
His position on all public matters that
came up has been unassailable and he
reflected credit upon himself and upon
Polk county.
In view OF these facts, his candidacy
will certainly be received with marked
FAVOR, by very large proportion of
the voters, who will desire to avail
themselves of the benefit of his tai
ents, experience and probity.
Mr.. John M. Keen has also made a
substantial and useful member of the
Legislature, being found on the right
side OF the various questions that came
before that body, and working at all
times for the best interests OF the
county and the State at large. There
is general approval Of Mr.. Keen's
