 THE GOVERNORS OFFICE

Little Rock, June 29.-Acting gov ernor McFarrin, who has served in that capacity more days than any other man ever elected president pro tenn of the senate with the exception of X. o. Pindall, is now in charge of the governir's office while Gov. Brough is flirting with the vice-presi- dential nomination in San Francisco,
 Gov. McFarrin reports that crop conditions throughout North Arkan- sas have not been better in years, all though somewhat backward, the corn and hay crops have come out wonders fully during the last few weeks and promise an abundant yield. The peach crop was almost entirely ruined by late freezes, but there will be con- siderable amount of peaches for home consumption. There will be fairly good apple crop although not equal to that of last year. The people of the counties along the northern bor- der are prosperous.

CIRCULAR ON POTATO
 INSPECTION SERVICE

Little Rock, June 29.-Geo. D. Becker, chief inspector of the Ark ansas State Plant Board has issued an important circular on sweet and Irish potato inspection service. It is with view of making it possible for the Arkansas farmer to get cer- tified seed grown under the close su- pervision of qualifid inspector, that the board has instituted this service. It is not compulsory, but is open to all Arkansas farmers who are willing to comply with the rules in order that they may put on the market a high grade of certified seed and slips. If the Arkansas grower is to have any assurance that he is to engage in his business on profitable basis, he must have to begin with, seed which is free of the diseases which cause losses in Arkansas and seed which is other wise adapted to Arkansas conditions.
