NO MORE WILD GAME
Old Residents Remember Turkeys
and Deer But They Are Only
Memories.


TAHLEQCAH, April ga few
decades ago at this season OF the
year those living in the country dis
tricts could hear, early in the morn
lngs, the loud gobbling OF big tur-
keys in the woodlands, while the
snorts of the deer were often audi
BILE. With rifle in hand the hunters
made their way In the direction of
the sounds and usually returned
with a gobbler OF deer, but so great
has been the change during the past
years, especially since the admis
sion of Oklahoma to statehood, that
one may wander all day in the most
secluded places and find neither
turkey nor deer. 1T is as If they
never had existed and the silence OF
the forests are broken only by the
call OF the woodpecker or the chat
ter of the squirrels and even they
are becoming few In number as
compared with those Of other days.
After the heavily increased popu-
lation which followed statehood the
game disappeared rapidly. At all
seasons of the year hunters were as
siduous in searching for and slay-
ing the wild game. In order 10 Sc

Little River County
 Crop Prospects Are Fine

The Little River county crop pros poets are good. All are pretty we'll agreed on that point. P. s. Davis of Arden, and one of our best farmers stated Tuesday that since the fine season of rain that we could tell it from him that the county had one of the finest crop prospects that
 seen in years. Much of the corn is small on account of the late planting, but the stalk is flat and strong and the plant has fine color and is grow ing. The cotton crop is in as nearly perfect condition as could be expected. With the several weeks of dry weather the farmers had all opportunity to cultivate and the ground was in fine sh2pe for the rain If any were far behind with their work it must have been because they were sick or some thing. Hay crops are doing fine and the oats have been harvested. Sweet potato plants are being set in large numbers on almost every farm. Chas. H. Park has set 13 acres, and that be- ing unlucky will further increase his acreage.

the support of members of the Arkan- sas Bar Association. Petitions have been printed and are being quietly cir culated. Those who favor the propos- al do not appear to be exerting them selves as they apparently consider that they have ample time in which to se- cure the necessary number of sig natures. There have been no further developments with reference to veto by Governor McRae of the amendment proposed by the legislature for the as- sessment of personal property for in ternal improvement. It is not proba- ble that anything will be done until the secretary of state has had an op- portunity to either accept or reject the petition for the new amendment.

DOLLAR A DAY AND BOARD
Farm Labor Is Plentiful 1t Seems and
 Wages Are Cheap.

Special to the News.
 Little Rock, June 14.-Wages being paid common labor on the farms are on the decline. A year ago it was a common thing for farm labor to re- ceive as much as $2.5O a day. Then conditions began to tighten. Farmers products began to move slowly or not at all. Prices dropped to a point ire quently far below the actual cost of production. This condition could not continue long. One of the remedies being applied is the reduction in the wages paid farm labor. One large planted near Little Rock last Saturday called his men into conference ana informed them that it had become ab- sOlutely necessary to retrench; that he had no desire to discharge anyone, but that the could no longer pay $2O0 day for labor. He had studied the situation carefully and had come to the conclusion that he could not afford to pay more than $1OO a day and board. If the men were willing to work for that amount, they would all be retained; if not he would have to let them go. Every man agreed to stay.

 In commenting on the situation one of the veterinarians here in charge of tick eradication work declared, "It seems unjust, indeed, that the herds of those who are interested in the de- velopment of more and better cattle should be subjected to the ravages of tick fever simply because the less progressive insist on standing in the way of the work by blowing up the

 It is pointed out that rigid compli- ance with the law for one entire sea- son probably would be sufficient to render the county free of this disease bearer and relieve the entire county from quarantine, which is under the direction of the United States.
