q single days work done this year 50 he and his brother, Joe. decided that the thing for them to do was to buy machinery, which they are doing. One machine they have bought is a Martin ditcher. made in Owensboro, Ky. In four rounds with it they can ] dig a sixfoot ditch four feet deep. It takes eight big mules to pull it. They can make a mile of this kind of ditch in a day Also they will cut ditch on each side of their turning rows, throwing the earth to the center, making good graded road at the same time. Although this diteher will probably do more work than hundred men could do in day it only costs $75. With other machin- cry which will do as we'll they will probably farm as successfully as ever. Retracing my steps through the black mud got my feet muddier than I had before this winter
 Returning, I reached the home of s. A. Matthews in time for dinner. Miss Fife Matthews is our core spondent for R. F. D. No. 1, Jackson vile. She is one of the most popular of the Jacksonville girls, in fact she was voted a fine quilt for being the most popular one. She has brother not far behind her, as he was voted the most popular of the little folks and received a very pretty quilt quilt ed by them. I suppose that I can, in part at least, account for his popular ity, as very pretty little girl told me in confidence that she was going to win my garnet ring because, but hold on, I mustn't tell that.
 The next night I spent at J. F Brannon's After leaving there got so interested in the Indian arrows and other rocks given me that I ceased taking notes. Then, Wednesday night, I stayed with MT. and Mrs. Wiedemier They are a Little Rock couple, who went to the country after he was dismissed from the officers training camp at the close of the war He made four bales of cotton, besides enough corn to do him last year He was musician and show man before the war and he and his wife entertained me delightfully."- with homemade Hawaiian music until their fingers became worn out, when they took me into another room and let their fine Victrola entertain until bedtime. It was pleasant evening I shall not forget soon.
 My next and last night out I spent with George Belyeu at Justice School house most pleasantly.
 Buckeye land, was informed, makes the finest peach orchard
 E. c. Coulter refused $1O0 for a Poland China SOW with nine young pigs Last year he sold seven pigs, fou, and half months old, for SIPS.
 Julian Justice sold four pigs off the mast for S105. They had fattened on hickory nuts without any expense whatever for feed.
 Lots of people have been telling me about the wonderful mousers they own The Missouri hound is not in it with these cats. The best tale told was by a man who was moving his sweet potatoes. The mice were plen- tiful and when he lifted up board the old cat caught two of them in her mouth and one with each forefoot Who's next?
 Mrs. Jack Carmical of Billy Goat Hill sold four turkeys last fall for $2S.S5. The highest-priced one was turkey gobbler year and half old, which brought $8.85.
 John Abbot got $40 in North Little Rock last week for load of turnip greens. He sold over $1OO worth off a very small patch this spring, and here I am walking when I might have raised turnip greens and rode in an auto.
 came very near forgetting to men ton that everybody in the country Il was in were eating fish. arrived at Roy Hammons', who left good job in the hops in North Little Rock to return to the country, just in time to get splendid fish dinner. I could see then how right he was to return.
 have never seen the grass and stuff start off to growing as rapidly as it has in the last week. The old cows found it out first and everybody around Wye are out hunting for them, for the grass is so good that they are all singing We won't go home til ,,, c,.,, i1,s ;, h1,t tl,n,. dc,a,t nro1a crn
