MAY CROP REPORT

The May Report of the Arkansas Cooperative Crop Reporting Service, just issued by Charles s. Bouton, Field Agent, and Jim G. Ferguson, Commis- sioner of Agriculture, while showing that in comparison with usual condit- ions, Arkansas farmers are behing in their work owing to overabundance of rain and flooded conditions of fields, added to infufficient labor, also shows by comparison with the rest of, the United States, less disturbance of our agricultural industry. Our farmers have done as large proportion of blowing for the number of acres that they will cultivate as a year ago, though they will have less number of acres in cultivation, while the average of the United tates as whole is only 60 per cent as compared with ten year average of TIA. In planting, however, Arkansas is 10 points below last year, while the country as a whole is II points. In the South this condit- ion is largely explained by the fact that the cotton seed supply is limited and planters are taking no chances of having to replant, so are waiting un- til conditions are safe.

soys Prayer a Gem.

Ex-Governor Stone of Pennsylvania who has just passed away, was great lover of horses.
 His pet, as youth, was a colt named Midnight.
 When MIdnight-still colt-died as the result of 8 tumble, the boy was inconsolable.
 He tells in his autobiography, "The Tale of a Plain Man" about the flu. neral he conducted in solitude over the body of his four-footed friend.
 q had no book, but l knelt down over his body and tried to say a prayer.

stock, MT. Bouton desires to draw spe- cial attention to the fact that owing to open range and poor care losses in all classes of livestock, except sheep, are greater in Arkansas than in the rest of the United States. Owing to our milder climate this ought not to be so, but attention is drawn to the sheep figures because itindicates that the State is especially favorably ad- apted by comparison to the rest. Of the country to this industry, for no greater care is exercised with sheep in this state than elsewhere.
 Another favorable feature of the re- port the larger hay reserves whi:h are 12 per cent as compared to . per cent last year. This is to be expected in view of the good yield of last year.

SENT DOWN WATER
Example of Golden Rule in West
 ern Utah.
Farmers of the Sevler Valley Gladly Deprived Themselves of Precious Liquid to Save Crops of the
 Less Fortunate.

It had been the hottest and driest summer ever recorded on the Pahvant plains in western Utah. More water than ever before was needed for the Pahvant crops; but as the previous winter had been recorded as having an extremely light snowfall, the late summer flow of the Sevier river (pro- nounced "severe') from the snow- stores of the Wasatch mountains, was at minimum.
 Therefore in spite of rigid water economy there was an insufficient sup ply to mature the crops in that re- zion. Early in the season 1t became apparent that if some good rains did not come at timely intervals there would be widespread devastation of the crops; and despite the earnest hopes of the people, the windows of the sky remained sealed so far as the rain was concerned, and the braSsy skies drank up every speck of mois- ture everywhere, even draining the reservoir dry month before the po- tatoes and beetS were matured. The apples fell to the ground withered, and the alfalfa stubble could not send out the shoots for the third crop of hay, the drought was so thorough.
 After experts had been consulted with no good result, an official of the state farm bureau. with a few other citizens, made an inspiring ride in automobiles up through a small range ,f toi int where the crops had not suffered greatly. owing to the fact that the farmers in this region held primary rights to the water of the river. The modern Paul Reveres. coming to the rescue of the unfortunate farmers farther down the stream, appealed to the irrigation company officials in this region, and requested the loan of the river for 24 hours.
 They were assured in response that the Golden Rule reached not only across the sevier valley, but on down to the Pahvant as y7ell and a vote taken was unanimous in favor of clos ing the Sevier valley head gates by midnight that very night and leaving them closed as requested.
 The returning midnight riders reach ed Pahvant valley many hours before the water, which began to arrive late the next forenoon. The mammoth Sevier river. no longer full and turbu- lent at this time of the year, but how- ing abundantly, nevertheless. went bounding joyfulIy down through the stony canyons. carrying good tidings of the genuine friendship of the Sevier valley farmers
 That afternoon every Pahvant farm CT was in his fields guiding the pre- cious water across the lands, where 1t kissed back into livelness and hope the Respondent crops; and all that night and the next day the men la- bored on in gratitude, until the wa ter began to dwindle, and then finally ceased. But it was enough; 2,2OO acres of crops worth hundreds of thousands of dollars were saved and commu- nity was made happy.-Christian Sci- ence Monitor.

Sculpture for Yale.

The Yale Alumni Weekly heartily
commends the recommendation of the
Alumni Advisory Board Executive
the memorial to Yale's dead in the
war take the form of sculptured
court of honor in the Hewitt Quad
rangle. This committee recently met
and voted that sum of S150,000 for
the erection of a university memorial
be raised at once. In the opinion Of
this Graduate Board the open space
in the university quadrangle south of
the dining hall and at the head Of
University Avenue, down which the
stately commencement procession
passes to Woolsey Hall, is the site
most central. the most prominent
and the most appropriate in the uni
versity."
Although the corporation has not
yet acted upon this recommendation,
it's prudential committee has author
lied the Committee on Memorials to
erect tablets in Memorial Hall on the
convex sides of the circular corridor
between the Civil War Memorial and
the circular rotunda, and where the
temporary honor roll Of the two hun
bred and more Yale men who died in
the war was placed last winter. The
corporation last spring gave it's ap-
provalNof two memorials. one a monu-
ment or some appropriate work of art
to be erected by the alumni, the other
being tablets bearing the individual
names.

PROFIT HOGS
OF BAY STATE
TO BE EXPOSED

Boston, July 13.-An appeal to local
authorities in every city and town to
aid the state commission on necessa-
ries Of life in warning the public
against unfair dealers was made today
by Brieg. Gen. John H. Sherburne,
chairman Of the commits sion. The ap-
peal was contained in a letter which
was sent to mayors and selectmen: 1t
said:
From reports received at this Office
it would appear that many of the re-
tail stores, especially those dealing in
meats and product, are charging prices
far beyond what is reasonable and fair.
There is no law in the state on the sub
ject; remonstrance with and adnoni1
ton of the individual dealers by the
commission seem to have lost their
effect; and it is therefore neces sary to
ascertain and warn the purchasing
public against the unfair dealers in or
der that they may protect themselves.
THE small appropriation available
for our work makes it impossible to
cover the whole state adequately. Our
inspectors are constantly busy, but
can accomplish relatively little.
I'VE are therefore writing to ask you
to recommend to us one or more in
spectors in each locality. either mu-
nicipaI employees or volunteers, whom
we can swear In and instinct in the
performance of their Ga.;ea and who
will report directly to US. We will then
summons offenders before US for a
hearing and submit to you transcripts
Of the evidence so that tte people may
be made thoroughly aware of the
facts"
