5 NEW PROJECTS
 FOR PULASKI GO.
WILL BE PRESENTED AT NEXT SESSION OF THE LEGIsLA- TURF, WHICH WILL CON-
 VENE JANUARY 26.

There are at least five new high way projects for Pulaski county to be submitted to the extra session of the legislature next week. These include the following:
 From Tates Mill to connection with the Arkansas and Missouri High way at the Swan place, near Jackson vile, five and one-half miles.
 From Missouri and Arkansas High way along old Centennial Pike, three and one-half miles,
 From the Four-Mile Grocery to Ma belvale, nine miles.
 Belt road around the city, from For est Park to Picron road, about fiji. teen miles.
 From Fifteenth and Rock, city, along Fourche Dam Road, to Asher place, about nine miles.
 This will add over forty miles to the good roads projects of Pulaski county.
 Commissioners of road improve ment districts, at meeting of the Good roads Bureau of the Board of Commerce, told of the proposed changes i'll road legislation by the in- troduction of amendments at the spe- ciaf session of the legislature.
 The Arkansas-Missouri highway. the Spring Lake highway and the Gal loway pike districts will introduce provision to tax acreage within two and one half-mile radius of the city limits 50 cents per acre. The Bureau refused to recommend the extension of the Twelfth street pike. On the Fourche Dam pike it was rec commended that the abutting property pay for the improvement within the city limits and that the city be taxed not to exceed one-third of the total cost for the improvement outside the city limits
 A proposal was made for new act, providing for the construction of belt road, connecting the various bikes leading from the city west.

INCOME TAX SEASON
 10 OPEN JANUARY 26

It was announced in the office of Jack Walker, collector of internal revenue, that the Federal Income Tax season will open Monday, January 26, and in making this announcement he stated that all parties who made returns for the year 1918 would be furnished with a blank form upon which to make return for the year 1919 through the mail. But in case such blank is not received within a week or ten days from date of Janu- ary 26 that such parties should obtain a blank in order not to become de- linquent, as the requirement. of filing such return is an obligation of the taxpayer. Such blanks can be se- cured from his office upon applica- tion.

MERCHANTS BY THE HUNDREDS
 ATTEND COTTON CONFERENCE
Realizing That Concerted Action Can Only Deal With VexatOus Cotton Seed and Labor Situation, Men Who Can Handle Situation To Best Advantage Discuss Their Com
 Troubles.

agricultural experts seemed to make clear case against the tiller of the soil They asserted that fertilizers, if properly applied, will bring results, no matter how fertile the soil, and will pay large dividends. The agri- cu1tirists also declared that the man who says he is raising more cotton than he can pick, and that he can buy feedstuff cheaper than he can raise it, or that he can get more for his cot ton than it would cost him to pay for feed, is standing in his own light. They pointed out that if improved machinery is used, it will produce a much heavier crop of cotton on few CT acres, thus making the crop easier to gather, and that the labor requir- ed for the additional acres can be used to cultivate the feed crop, and it will be clear gain.
 At the conclusion of the regular program there was round table dis cussion which was largely on fertil- izers. H. M. Bennett of the Lesser Goldman Cotton Go, and who is also interested in the Arkansas Fertilizer Go, was the principal speaker at this time. He stirred up the mer- chants and they told of their expert ences. Mir Bennett declared that the merchant was almost entirely to be credited with the success or fail- ure of fertilizers in his community. He advised them to determine what kind of fertilizer was needed for a certain soil or crop. and handle only that which would bring results. MT. Bennett stated that he had frequent. ly advised planters who came to him not to buy fertilizers and use them ac- cording to their plans, as it was a poor advertisement for the fertilizer, it having no chance to make good. MT. Bennett stated that it was far better to take small acreage and use more fertilizer than it was to sprin-  kle it sparingly over a large field. He stated that the yield from the small tract would pay much better than if the fertilizer was thinly applied.
 Merchant after merchant quizzed MT. Bennett and the agricultural ex- perts, and were informed that soil survey will develop the kind of fer ti1izer needed, and this can be secur- ed at the University of Arkansas or from the government agents.
 The discussion brought out the fact that the Arkansas Fertilizer Company is now supplying the fertilizer and experimenting it's use on an expert mental tract of forty acres in the Scott community. This is heavy black land but it has never been de- termined what fertilizer will act best upon it, and the company has under taken the task of finding out, and

The week before Christmas I play ed Brushy Island "a return engage ment. Having just visited there, there was not much of interest to write about. I had an enjoyable visit with Henry Lea. He told me of the three trips he made to southeast Ar kansas, looking for good place to hunt bear. They found it, for his father was with him and they had it all arranged for grand bear hunt, and in their estimation, not the least of their arrangements was a place for the Pod man, but the last time they were down it began to rain and when they got home they saw in the press reports that the water was ten feet deep at the camp site they had selected, and in all the bear country the water was as deep or deeper, so the bear hunt was all off. But why need Henry care? Though there are no bear on Brushy Island there is plenty of other game around his home, as these picture of him show.

AN AID THAT GOT RESULTS.
 Just before Christmas the Pulas- kian carried an ad for a stolen gun for John H. Lea. The paper reached Rixey people promptly on time that week, and MT. Walker, the merchant there, borrowed a copy of it from a subscriber, and after reading every line of news in it, proceeded to read the ads for dessert, when he ran across MT. Lea's ad On the first day of December soldier walked into MT. Walkers store with a double bar rel shotgut and borrowed five dollars on 1t. When he read the ad he jump ed up and looked at the gun and saw at once that it was Mir. Leas. He sent MT. Lea word and he at once went after it. Getting his gun back made Uncle John happier than if his wife had suddenly returned from Texas. That don't mean Uncle John does not want his wife to come home. Not at all, for he missed her so much well, I must not tell tales out of school

President Roy Thompson of the Board of Commerce welcomed the visitors, being follow ed by J. H. Full of the government marketing bureau, who spoke upon marketing systems now in vogue. He also brought in the danger confront ing Arkansas through the use of poor cotton seed.
 W. c. Lasseter, director of the University of Arkansas Agricultural Extension Division, declared that there was plenty of good cotton seed in South Carolina, where the crop lodged the rains at the time of the year when the seed was most easily affected. He was followed by Alfred G. Kahn of the Rose City Cotton Oil Company, and former president of the Arkansas Cotton Seed Crushers' Association. MT. Kahn declared that at least half the cotton seed handled by his company this year was dam aged, and that the product was so ooII the oil and cake from the states which had good crops had been dis posed of
 The Arkansas Cotton Seed Crush CTS Association, through MT. Kahn, offered to cooperate with the Uni Versity of Arkansas and the Profitable Farming Bureau in the purchase of at least 25 cars of good seed. He ask ed the merchants who wanted in on the deal to make early application, for unless they sold seed that would germinate, they would not have much trade in the fall
 C. O.. Carpenter, one of the states best known agricultturists, spoke on the wisdom of uniform grades of cot ton.

In our last look we beheld thee Laying, oh so fast asleep, Could you hearthe anguished weeping In your slumbers calm and deep? Loving words to you were voiced, Words so deeply true and fond, Were you dreaming there serenely Of the strange and vast beyond. AS we weeping stood beside you Not token crossed your face, But you lay so pale and placid In that solitary place. Oh we miss you, how we miss you Words alone can not express. But we hope some day to join you In your happy, peaceful rest.

If merchants of Arkansas heed the warning sounded at the second an- nual conference of Arkansas mer- chants, which took place in Littlee Solved, and, in addition thereto, the Farmers of Arkansas will reap har- vest of cotton that will be more val uable than ever before.
 The only regretab1e feature about the whole affair is that the merchants did not form an association to follow up the good work of the meeting, and spread the propaganda of good and uniform seed, as well as diversified farming and a Iessening of cotton acreage.
 Speaker after speaker told of the growing scarcity of farm labor, and the only remedy offered was to go in stronger for improved machinery, in- grease the acreage devoted to feed stuff, and keep what farm hands are obtainable working all through the year.
 The cotton situation was discussed during the most of the session, the chief feature being the seed condi- tion. It was pointed out that the seed from the cotton picked early was sold to cotton oil mills, for the most part, and that continued rains destroyed the germ in the cotton which stood in the field, so that there is little seed fit for use in the state today. The merchants were warned to take this matter direct to the farmer and see that he does not plant weak CT unfertile seed. He was informed that all that is necessary to make test is to place the seed in a wet cloth for several days, in warm place. This will sprout the seed if it is fer tile
 Seed Tests in Schools.
 Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion Bond informed the merchants that his department is now conduct ing campaign in the schools to ad- wise the pupils on seed testing, and they will thus be able to inform their parents.
 Seed from cotton which stood in the field during the continued rains will be poor for planting, according to the experts, for it will produce a weak plant, which will have little Fruit.
 One speaker particularly stressed the importance of having few yarie ties of cotton in community, thus Showing a uniformity that will at- tract buyers and bring the top prices
