Roland is building up faster than any other town in Pulaski county out side of Little Rock. They have built nice new schoolhouse. Dr. Nowlin has built a fine residence, several new stores have gone up as well as scores of new cottages. The town looks like it has doubled during the last year.
 Returning I came by Hugh Moss expecting to spend the night with him, but I found that during the past week all the family had taken down with the flu. However all were up except little Mildred. who was still confined to her bed Then I came on over to Will Kryer's. That is one of the incest places to stop know of, for Mrs. Kryer always has lots of the best of good country things to eat, in- cluding home raised fruits of all kinds, Irish and sweet potatoes, coun- try sausage and ham, and nearly

| stop 10 wasting the peoples money on farm demonstrators. It was not the peoples money he was so an-ious to save as ii was the taxes he h1d 10 pay to keep them up So he rcd for five days over the county with a peti- ton to put a stop to it. He did five days of the hardest work and ta king he ever did in his life and of course got a good number Of signatures to his petition. He took it in to the quorum court when it met and pre- sented 1t, but one old squire from the country was prepared for him and asked him # he knew how much the demonstrators were costing him. He said he did not, so the squire read to hhn a statement of >his taxes and showed him that 1t only cost him 10 cents. The objector had nothing more to say. But very little of the county money goes direct to the farmer, but all the money that goes into demonstrations in the country goes to him and he should hold onto it and get more. Each farmer and each of his children as well as his wife, got about 20 cents worth of fun out of the entertainment Friday night and those that learned something got that much more out of 1t, so if you are too smart to learn anything from the wisdom accumulated by Uncle Sam during his one hundred and forty odd years Of his life why just attend one of the entertainments and get your moneys worth back in that.
 One of the first benefits our com munity will derive from their trip will be a community fair for us next fall It will surely result in putting our on the map. bigger than it has ever been before. Another thing about it is that their report on the community will be official and will open the eyes Of the bankers and all other classes in Little Rock as to the great possibilities of the Wye com munity. It will convince them that l have been right in saying that this section is superior to the Arkansas valley, and being official, it will carry such weight as to make it much easier for people from here to borrow money or obtain credit

 which weighed three and three eighths carets. As she likes pretty stones. she was there in the shop looking at them, when she heard the ieweler say he was ready to fix up that package of Hgarnets for ". F. Beck, at We. Ark, so she watched her chance and jumped into the box with them. She said the nice white cotton they packed in made one of the incest beds she ever slept in. She also told me that must have them put in a ring, or at least one of them, and a pearl in another and give one for the best collections of stones and Indian curios and the other for the second best, which guess I will have to do. as she will have her way about everything. guess. as I just got letter when I returned from my trip, from a gentle man, who said he lived in the Osage Indian country, that he would like to exchange some of the Indian curios from three with me for some of mine, that I will have to get up a ring for people outside Of the state. Of course did not know when I started out on this proposition that so many people outside of Arkansas would read in the Pulaskian about what we were doing here, but the PuIaskian is a great advertising medium and if you don't want people to know thing you must not put it in the Pulaskian. So now you folks who want nice Arkan- sas pearl or garnet get busy saving up Indian relics for me. The sets will be worth s15.00 to s20.00 each if can get them put in rings, so they will be well worth striving for.
 The road was pretty muddy, so I was glad of a chance to ride with a .colored farmer part Of the way until I reached Allen Jenkins, another col ored farmer, who says he just can't get along without the Pulaskian. G. w. Gillespie manager of an Arkansas river plantation, told me he appreci- ated very much the fact that I had confidence in him to keep the Pulas- kian going to him after the time paid for had expired, and of course he must pay for 1t, which he did. After that I met Daniel McFadden, Sr., the .colored section boss on the Rock Is land railway, and he said he had been wondering why I had not come around as he wanted to pay for Daniel, Jr.'s paper. Then I came by where John Wilson. another colored man, was cut ting brush, and he wanted to know why had been so slow about coming around and wanted to know where to leave the money for ne, which I told him. You can see by this that the colored people think a whole lot of the Pulaskian. They think so much of it that we are thinking of setting aside page for their use. They would be proud of it and the white folks will be proud of having a
 medium to advertise in for the col
 ored trade. The colored farmer spoke of riding with told me he had
 made 25 bales of cotton, besides his
 feed and that it took it all to pay his
 bills. Of course any merchant would
 be tickled to receive the trade of a i farmer, whose business amounts to ! S5. Quo in one year.

oUR FARM ogMoNsTRAToRs.

Messrs. Sargent and Smith, county agents. spent two days. Friday and Saturday, of last week, at Wye and worked up great deal Of enthusiasm amongst our people. To say nothing about the practical demonstration they made for the farmers, the en- thusiasm they created is worth to the community move than 1t cost even if the community had to pay for it in stead of the bill being footed prin- cipally by Uncle Sam and the re- mainder by the county. Though this is the case they had to acknowledge that they learned even more than they taught the people
 There is a lack of understanding amongst the people about their work which should be cleared up right now. They are not supposed to know all about farming. but what they are supposed to do is to place in the possession of the farmer the knowI- edge gained by the government and the various agricultural experiment stations, agricultural colleges, and private experiments and discoveries made by farmers and others and col lected by the government for the use Of the people. h fact they are noth- ing much but file clerks. When the manager of a big bank or other pri- yate institution wishes to find out some facts needed to finish or to pass judgment on taking a contract he has his file clerks hunt ID this informa- ton in old letters. books or reports which have been filed away by these same clerks. or their predecessors. in times past, and they go to work and get it. They may possess the infor- nation in their heads or be able to get the information at once. or it may take days. They may get it out of their own files. or they may have to go elsewhere, or to the government, but they get all the information pos sible and then the manager passes judgment on whether to undertake the work or not and if he does undertake it. he will be able to approximate the cost. without having to guess at it. So it is with the demonstration agenfs. they are not supposed to know everything, but they are sup posed to know how to get the infor- nation asked for. if they do not know it themselves and save you the trouble of useless and costly experiments. They are simply your file clerks and like the file clerks of the largest cor poratsons in the country, they can sometimes, when you ask them. tell you without looking up the file the in formation you want, and if they do not already know. they can find the information for you if you will only ask them and give them time. They have been taught many things for your benefit, but if any one of them was to know as much as you think he ought to know and President Wilson was to find it out. he would send fol him to come 10 Washington and give
 him a job in his cabinet immedi ateIy.
 Another thing they are not sup posed to do and that is come out into
 the country and do the work for you

hood and show one man how to do the job and after that that man is supposed to show the others.
 I have been trying ever since I have been in this community to get people to see the necessity of ter racing their farms. the demonstra- ton given by them 3 couple of weeks ago has about convinced all that I was right and most of them intend 10 terrace as rapidly as they can get to the job. i number of people here think that they ought to have surveyed their land for them, but they showed several how the work should be done and now it is up to the community to get an instru- ment, which will cost. only about S20 and do the work themselves.
 The first thing they did when they got here was to eat their dinner, then they went to the schoolhouse and made little talk to the children and asked them 10 be certain to bring their parents and neighbors out to the entertainment, which had been arranged for that evening. Then MT. Smith took charge of the children and had them to sing some songs under his direction. Then MT. Sar- gent had them to sing a song or two for him. One was Over There" or ~The Tanks Are Coming" You should have heard them cIapping their hands and stamping their feet It would have put enthusiasm even into a corpse
 We then started over the neigh borhood. The first place we came to was Herman shoenfeld's, but he was not at home I showed them his or chard anyway and when they saw his we'll pruned peach trees both became enthusiastic and said they wished every man in Pulaski county, who had trees could see them. Then took them to C. ! Nelson's place. Mir. Nelson was at home and we went out into his orchard. As soon as they saw it they said it was the finest one they ever saw. Mr. Smith qualified the statement though by saying it was the finest he had seen in Arkan- sas and that there were some as good in Georgia. They talked with MT. Nelson a few moments and discov- cred that he was following the most approved methods of book and scien- tifc farming SO far as his peaches were concerned and was right up to now Then they abandoned their idea of giving demonstration of l pruning peach trees and asked Mir. Nelson to give 1t, which he did the next day and the demonstrators got their theories confirmed. From there we went to George Reding's and
 what happened as to peaches at Nel-
 sons happened with apples here and Mir. Reding was selected to demon
 strate apple pruning. They spent the
 remainder of the day with him look
 ing over his orchard and his terraces,
 which are about the only scientific
 terraces in this county That night
 there was an entertainment for their benefit at the schoolhouse and both

The Wanderina Fairy Returns.

On my rambles as described in last weeks Pulaskian I suddenly discov- cred that the Wandering Fairy had returned and was directing my move ments. It was she. though I did not say so, who took me out of my way to show me the Rock House, Crystal Mountain. and the other interesting things described then, but had for gotten about her when at the enter tainment Friday night I asked Mir Sargent to get the children to the front of the house like they were Christmas. The Wandering Fairy took it as a command to herself and at once began to arrange Christmas weather for us. When we got out of the house we discovered it had commenced to snow and next morn ing there was little snow on the ground, but she is a good little fairy and did not let it snow enough to interfere with Messrs. Sargent and Smith getting back home to Little Rock in their Ford, but Sunday after noon she finished her showing and then gave us for Monday a real sun- shine winter day cold enough to make. my fat pine fire feel awful good Sun- day night.
 Rambied to Roland.
 Tuesday of last week I walked down the mountain to Ben Stfckley's where I had a pleasant visit and got my dinner. then I went over to Will Smiths. There was no one at the house so 1 continued on cut into the field where I found them at work. The Wandering Fairy whispered to me that here was a good place to get Indian arrow heads, so I asked Mr. Smith if it was. He did not ap- pear to know but I looked down on the ground and found the cutest per feet little one hardly three-quarters of an inch long by half-inch wide Then Miss Elizabeth spoke up and said she found three just like it, which she was saving for me. Netsie Ballentine gave me nice little red, white and blue one. Coming up by Mir Rollers I found Ernest busily engaged skinning two coons which he caught the night before in his traps. At MT. Wits I found his walls covered with furs, mostly minks. He was preparing for his regular fort nightly trip to Little Rock with furs that night. He had about S125 worth on hand for his trip, so you. can see man is not wasting time when he is hunting in this section.
