 We liked MT. Williams letter in last weeks "Cabin," but, folks, about the dairy products he speaks of, be sure and use your butter at home, as it is worth only 15 cents in Conway, and no sale at all for milk. So don't go above home consumption.
 There was quite crowd out at Sunday school Sunday and we were glad to see our superintendent able to be present.

STRAWBERRIES AS
 A MONEY CROP
Editor Log Cabin Democrat.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat.
 Tie community that raises many different things is much safer fin ancially than community that de- bends on one thing exclusively. The upland man in and around Conway who depends on cotton exclusively, has a small bank account. It is not req sonable for every man to raise stock, go into the dairy business but every farmer should go into something that will earn him the most money for the labor expended.
 I want to press the industry that most appeals to me in this section. The land in and around Conway is especially adapted to strawberries. We must get to shipping in car lots. If you are looking for all profit and no trouble, let the berry business alone. Berries do not do well grown like dog fennel, they must be worked and watched. If you give plenty of these two to your berries, they will give you by far the largest financial return. New never-worked land is by far the best for beginners. It is better to have your rows run north and south, but be sure and have your rows four feet apart. Five thousand plants to the acre is plenty. This will put your plants a little more than two feet apart in the row.
 Where it is convenient, every home in Conway should have enough ber- ries to supply the table and have enough to put up. This land is ideal, no doubt about it. It was my inten- tion to plant 10 acres more this spring, but Jo Jones and Mir. Phelps did not get the land cut off. am going to plant as many as I can get land ready. If you have piece of land you are thinking about planting l will go to see it and give such advice as l may have free. B. Nj. Woodruff.

AGRICULTURAL CLUB.

T. M. Williams, county demonstra- tor of Faulkner county, paid a visit to our high school last Thursday morning in the, interest of boys and girls club work.

PLANS TO ABOLISH !
 ROAD DIST. NO. } HERRING FOR REPEAL
Faulkner Representative Also Favors Poll Tax Instead of Free Labor {
 for Roads.

That he is considering a blanket bill repeating acts creating all road inn provement districts in which work has not actually begun and that he will at least introduce bill for the repeal of Road Improvement District No. 5 of Faulkner county, is the information contained in a letter received by the Log Cabin Democrat from Represen- tative E. T. Herring, who is now at- tending the legislature. MT. Herring also states that he will introduce a bill placing poll tax on all citizens 2l to 45 years of age, instead of free labor, and providing for working roads by contract. He states that he will do all he can for the Normal School and is glad that the new governor is flor education more and road build- ing less"
 Road district No. 5, which Mir. Her ring favors abolishing, is district organized by the preceding legislature to construct a highway from Wooster through Greenbrier and Guy to the county line near Quitman. Dr. E. T. Williams and A. A. Wilson of Green brier, J. L. Patton of Wooster, Dr. B. F. Canister of Guy and w. B. Clay ton of Conway were appointed by County Judge J. A. Lea as commits sioners for the district. The board met soon after it's appointment and organized, electing B. c. Wilson as engineer and R. w. Robins as attor- ney. The engineer made the survey of the district and prepared the map, which was filed in the office of the county clerk, and the assessment book for the district was made by County Clerk John Reeves. No further steps have been taken, however, the board having decided to defer the sale of bonds and award of contract. Some expense has been incurred in engi- neering and clerks fees and it is presumed they will be taken care of if repeal bill is passed.
 MT. Herring's letter follows:
 Little Rock, Jan. II, 1921.
 Dear Editor-I think I need your daily while I am here doing 'our work You will please send me the daily Cabin and let me settle later
 "We began very pleasantly yester- day and think we will have pleas ant session. Mr. Joiner will be an excellent speaker.
 We are thinking of making blanket law repeating all road laws where work has not actually begun. I will at least introduce bill to repeal Road District No. 5 in our county.
 'I will, I think, introduce a bill levying head tax on all citizens be- tween the ages of 21 and 45, instead of free labor on the roads. We will work by contract. One-ffth of this tax will be designated as culvert and bridge tax, to build only concrete cul- verts in each township in the county. The expenses of the commissioner must also be provided for in the special bill.
 "Of course, I will do all I can for our Normal School. 1 am so glad our governor is for education more and road building less.
 When l can serve you or my peo- pie, command me.
 "Very truly,
