ADVANCED THOUGHT OF THE
 1920 CROP.

1920 CROP.
 Tn the January g. 1919, issue of the Pulaskian was printed my prediction for 1919. | wish to call our readers attention to one or two things in it. One was a great new industry for Little Rock and another was the sul- lenness of labor. The first has been fulfilled in the sale of oil stock and the second is known to all. Another reference was to the fact that sugar would sell for thirty cents pound Ny closing prediction in that predic- tion reads as follows:
 "The high prices will consume the laborers big pay. but for the present year they will be content to draw their big pay and talk and plan to overcome the profiteers later."
 In the issue of April 4 I warned our farmers to prepare for short drouth. Based on the same knowl- edge that caused me to write those predictions. I make the following for 1920:
 While not expecting a rainless drouth, there is to be expected but very light rains. and it will be nec- essary to so cultivate the soil as to conserve every drop of moisture that falls. Farmers will not have much to sell, nor be able to buy much, so it behooyes them to raise their living at home this year-more so than ever before. Their business for a commu- nity employing two teachers will be such that one teacher could do all their buying and selling before and after school hours. For such a com munity her work would amount to about as much as to sell bucket of shelled beans and buying in turn the same bucket full of coffee. To get the full advantage of the moist ure now in the earth, let every farm CT plant an abundant oat and Irish potato crop, and plant them as early as possible. It is possible that there will be plenty of rain for cotton, as 1t generally does better with a small amount of rain than on seasonable years After oats and wheat are har- vested it will be possible to raise some Mexican June corn on the same ground. With the present high price of labor we have no cause to be frightened, but we should conserve all our resources to the utmost.
The Pulaskian., 1920-01-30

The high price of cotton is given as the reason for raising the price of cotton dress goods from and 10 cents to 35 to 50 cents yard The farmers are weighing these goods to see how true is the charge and find that said goods weigh from only one and one-half ounce to three ounces usually. As cotton was mostly sold for less than cents an ounce and the highest price only approaching 3 cents an ounce they say the high price of cotton is not guilty, but that reasonable price for cotton would be 75 cents a pound.
 I spent Wednesday night with J. ". Magness. In an early day his grandfather swapped horses with man. Besides getting much the best horse he got 16O acres of land at Olmstead to boot
 MT. Magness said that the wolves used to get in the backs of his cattle until he commenced to sprinkle salt on the cattle's backs, since when he has not been troubled with them.
 The flu is spreading in this section. While I was here MT. Fountain Ham mons was taken down in the morning and before night was unconscious. The next day he was greatly i'm proved.
 reached Esquire Dorsey's about noon Thursday and had to wait for dinner or be accused of not wanting to eat the Squire's cooking. His little granddaughters helped to get dinner, but Mrs. Dorsey was in bed, possibly with the flu. The Squire thought MT. Winkler's drove of deer was a big one and proceeded in one respect to outdo him with what he saw himself in the old days, for he also is an old timer, having been born right close to where Mr WinkIer lives.
 He was in the woods with Henry Green, father of the Green boys. near Roland, just back of where Lith Ham, mons lives, when they saw bunch of 30 deer. one of which was pure white. As every white deer has a maidstone in it's stomach all old-timers would do their best to get them. Mir.

to see the white one again.
 As I travelled along the roads this day I was frequently surprised by falling limbs which could not support the heavy glaze Of ice received the night before. At the Dorsey place there was large two-foot oak tree which had fallen across the road. Truly this day was a great contrast to the previous one, when snakes were crawling around and my coat was burden to me- Also I found the creeks impossible. This has been the wettest ramble I have had, and I am truly thankful that each of the three big rains fell in the night time. Also I saw a big flock of doves and have been seeing doves all winter, which I thought was a sign of a light winter Prof. Holt gave me very cordial invite to go to his home to spend the night, and so I knew I need not worry for a place to stop, but when I got to Bayou Meto I found it so high I could not get to the bridge. AS the first few families I went to had sickness, mostly flu, it was dark before I got to J. w. Halls, where was made welcome. Mir Hall is not superstitious, but that does not account for his keeping me. 1 only found that out by his accepting tag No 5513 for his auto after 49 ,999 other people had refused it, for if he had gotten his regular number it would have been about 50,0OO. Mir. Hall thinks also, and quite properly, that he should only have to pay half price for his tag because the roads in all his section of the county get none of the auto tax money, and as a result he can only run his car six months in the year.
 The True Cause of the High Cost of
 Living.
 have just discovered the true cause Of the high cost of living, and everybody else is wrong about the real cause of old h. c. L The real reason is that since prohibition men not being able. to buy whiskey are spending their money for food and raiment for their families. If you will watch right closely you will see that this same cause will soon double the price of real estate.
 We'll I got home to Wye in the dark and the clouds were threatening snow, but, as usual, when I awoke next morning the sun was shining bright. Now what am to do? When ever I ramble it goes to raining, when get back home the sun shines. AS it is I only get pay when it rains, and unless I am paid for sunshine I guess will just have to let it rain on.

A SURE SIGN OF SUMMER.

Just before I reached Schmidts S place I stepped over little viper in the road, about ten inches long, and not quite quarter of an inch in diameter. When I was a small eight year-old boy my sisters pleaded with me not to kill the first snake saw in the spring, because if did would kill all the birds I saw that year, so did not kill it.

fine bass or trout in them. They be- long to the Clarke or Greenwood es- tate. Purdom Springs are among the most noted ones in the county It is not generally known that there are two springs here. The other spring 1 is located in a hollow just beyond the one near the road. To find it, go straight from the road to the road side spring, then turn diagonally to the left and follow trail down to the other one. If you miss the trail you can find the spring by exploring up and down the branch.
 On Bayou Meto, Whit Holt owns one of the most romantically located holes of water in the county. This hole is immediately above the upper bridge at Tate's Mill. On the right bank of the creek. is a very high and picturesque rock bluff. which can neither be ascended nor descended. The road from Faulkner county runs just beyond the bluff. and Mr Holt has the intervening portion fenced in a burmuda pasture. From the road is only to be seen a steep bridge ascending to the sky line, and no one without knowledge would think that you would have to go up this hill from it to find the largest creek in Pulaski county, but you do The bluff is so steep beyond it that MT Holt had to fence it to keep his cattle from falling off his pasture and kill ing themselves in the creek.
 Just about 100 yards north of olm- stead is Little Creek, which runs out of the Faulkner County hills It has a solid rock bottom all the way from the hills to Olmstead. On the farm of Allen Dillon is the finest hole on this creek. Monroe Mason, Little Rock groceryman, has the next best hole on this creek.
 Pearl Fisheries.
 It will probably be a surprise to many of our readers to know that a new industry has sprung up on this creek and Bayou Meto, ie., pearl fish ing. I have been hearing of boys find ing pearls there all fall, but have had no opportunity to investigate until this trip. Buck Weeks was the first one of the successful finders for me to interrogate. He had three very small ones which he had found in mussels which he found in the edge of the water One of the Adams boys found several which he sold to a pearl buyer for $2.50 each, but Homer Dill lon is the chief fisherman. He found eight the past summer. They are from the size of a birdshot down. He says there is no use looking in the big rough mussels for pearls, as he only finds them in the smooth black ones. He sticks his knife blade into the small end of the mussel and cuts a muscle about one-half inch in diam eter there which holds the shells to- gether, when it falls open. The pearls are also found in that end of the mussel
 There are nice holes of water all the way up Bayou Meto from this sec tion. About six miles from Levy, on the Marche road there are also some very fine deep holes of water.
 
 Robert Wilkins, Olmstead. gave me very fine specimen of lead ore which he supposed came out of the mortar of an old chimney which has fallen down on his mothers place.

Gorilla Families Live in
Nest Homes Built High in
Trees of Tropical Forests

Gorillas live in family groups-hus-
band, wife and one or two babies. The
mother carries her offspring on her
hip, Just as does the native African
woman.
Food is always plentiful, consisting
of fruit and nuts supplied bounteous-
,ly by the tropical forest. Home Is a
sort of nest built in a tree, a few
branches being bent together so as to
form a platform, over which leafy
.twigs are distributed.
It is alleged that the father of the
family spends the night customarily
at the foot of the tree, against which
he places his back while keeping
guard against possible attack by enc
mics. In a stand-up fight there is only
ont foe that he has reason to fear,
and that is the leopard.
The males often fight each other
with dire ferocity, the prize of eom-
bat being usually a lady gorilla. who
views the strife with fattered inter
est, cheerfully accepting the y%lctor's
claim of ownership.
