TO PRODUCE MUCH
 TRUCK AT GILLIAN
Growers Association Plans to h. crease the Acreage Considerably.
 All Kinds of Truck.

Gillham, March 13.-One of the
 most effective truck growing and marketing associations in the state is that of the Gillham Truck and Fruit Growers Association, with a mem bership of 101 farmers, according tC District Agent Harry F. Kapp ana Marketing Agent J. H. Tull of the agricultural extension division, who advised with the association in lay ing out their plans for this year
 More than 50 per cent of the mem bership are experienced growers who have been producing truck crops for several years, said County Agent G.F Wallace, who organized the associa- tion last August.
 At least 70 acres of radishes will be planted this year, with 700 pounds of radish seed that has been purchas- ed by the association Acreage of 125 acres each will be devoted to canta- loupes and cucumbers. Twenty acres will be planted to snap beans, 20 acres to watermelons, and plants are being grown to put out eight acres in tomatoes. These acreages will be di- vided among the farmers so that each will have only a small plot of each crop, but by conducting mar keting operations together the advan- tages of grading for quality and mar keting in quantity will be realized through the organization.
 Plants for 50 acres of strawberries are being purchased to add to the 40 acres of bearing strawberries on diff ferent farms, and it is expected that some additional acreage of grapes will be added to the 15 acres that pro- duced last year.
 P Knodd & Son are the largest in dividual growers in the organization and have been producing for market for several years. They have been the products of other growers in the past years and mar keting with their own.
 "The most interesting thing to ne in this truck association it that all of the members are general farmers who grow cotton. corn and live stock" said MT. KaDp. "It is an example of diversifcation that other farmers in the state shouldt consider and adopt. for it means more profits from present acreage"
 G. W. Morrison. local man. is the manager of the association. and will attend to all details incident to mar keting the products R. M Harrison is president, and E. A. Hiatt, secre- tary.

 {, VIEW ON SCHOOL WORK
Law Provides for the Election of the County Board of Education in
 Little River County.

To the School Patrons and Citizens of Little River County: s@ At the regular session of the Ark sansas Legislature, 1919, there was 9g passed general law, Act No 264, es-
 tablishing County Board of Educa-
 tion and County Superintendent of ' Public Schools for each county in the State
 at the annual school election in May.
 of five citizens who will constitute the
 County Board of Education It also
 provides for the election of a County
 Superintendent of Public Schools by x this board. The law also provides that not more than two members of the county board may be elected from any one township.
 .4 The law takes out of the hands of g the County Judge all school matters aAover which he now has jurisdiction,
 ind places all such matter under the Jurisdiction of the County Board
 X The law in no way interferes with kthe power, which District Boards now
 exercise. The selection of teachers,
 and the wages to be paid them, as we'll
 as many smaller matters, still remains
 as they are under the old law.
 The purpose of the law is to system
 atize the whole public school systems
 of the state, and thereby place Arkan- gas in position to receive from the Federal Government her part of the vast sum of $10O,OOO,OOO which the N. s. Congress is likely to appropriate ato assist the states in raising the liter Eacy of the citizens.
 gro the surprise of our country, the draft law showed an illiteracy of near ,,ly twenty-five per cent of the men drafted. In the opinion of many think 1 llg men, this law is the best law, one that will most advance the welfare of our State, that was enacted at this session of the legislature.
 <. All citizens of Little River county. } t'PoSielAAy oSuoOl DOdTuS, SlOul0 &C., kquaint themselves with Act No. 264 of l9l9 Legislature, for it's succes de-
 bends upon the interest shown by the
 Ieople in selecting this county board fbf education. None but patriotic. Soroad- minded men who believe the
 prosperity and progress of our state Lfepends upon the generations to come
 should be selected.
 E There are fourteen political town Sships in the county, and in six or seven <pf these there are well established Bchools. Would it not be we'll to sell bct only one member of the County 'sBoard from any one township until the required five are elected? ! This is a matter that vitally con aorns the public school interest in the 7 county, especially the rural schools, and every citizen should take an inter 'p-st in this matter, inform himself on $he law, be present at the annual S6chool meetings, and vote for. the best -interest of the schools.
