His long exre- rience. worldwide connections and rare judgment will be very helpful to Arkansas farmers, bus mess men and bankers in dccid ing what to do in 1921.

Around Cass

Mrs. Myrtle Turner, daughter of w. H. James, is home now from Tulsa. Okla
 Mr. Otis Kitchen and Jesse Kitchen came home from Tulsa, Oklahoma, but Jesse has returned.
 One of Mir. Elias Russell's chil- dren recently got badly burned with scalding water. Dr. Neese was called.
 Mr.Riley Dickinson and family and Mir. Argus Dickerson and family have moved from Ozark to this section.
 Dad" Wilson, of CIarksville, is in this section visiting his adopted daughter and husband and friends at Barnes.
 The typhoid fever cases are much improved, except 0. N. Kelly. He having had relapse. We hope he will soon be better again.
 Uncle Sam and aunt Phoebe Turner are so much improved that they were able to move from Cass to their old home in the Turner Bend.
 Mir. Norman Wisdom and wife. of White Oak. visited at Winston James at Cass. last week. Mir. James wife returned to White Oak with them.
 Clyde James, of Ozark, route3, has moved to Stislcr, Oklahoma. His wife went on bat Clyde came out and visited with his parents few days before he left for Oklahoma.
 The wolves are again in evi- dcnce in this section. They are killing scores of young hogs the reports say. Tax the dog till the farmer is compelled to do without a dog in order that wolves can be raised to kill off the hogs and sheep. No wonder that there is a.hurry cali for more school taxes. IT we had laws that would stimu- late the production of sheep. cat tie, hogs. etc.. the taxable prop erty would increase and thus low CT the rate of taxation. The more property to tax the less would be the burden of taxation. It is sincerely hoped that the coming session of our legislature will do something to change the situa- tion. If We ever needed sane legislation 1t certainly is now.

All Hail, Good Ship
 Mayf|oWer of 1920

Apropos of the tercentenary celebrations observed last sum- mer and fall, respecting the arri- val of the Pilgrims and Pulitans in 1920 and thereafter, on the New England coast, the follow ing may be read with interest:
 The original passenger list of the May flower comprises the names of forty-one families and fifteen servants. These latter were not household servants or va'cts, in the modern sense, but artisans carefully chosen for the r skill and character. who could perform me important work m the wilderness. It is not gen eraliy realized that as regards their birth the Puritan fathers occupied a social position between the peasantry and the nobility. The English homes of some of these emigrants which still stand are obviously manor houses. Sev- eral of the groups were eligible to Parliament or heirs to consid- erabie estates, so that their sac ritice to religious principles, as they conceived it, was the more remarkable. We have at least one authentic portrait of a May flower Pilgrim, that of Edward Wnslow, Governor of Plymouth Colony. The face is that of a m n of culture and character. and hls clothes even to the deli cacy of the llnen show an unex- pec,od refinement. "-F. A. Col Iins in Boys Life.

Russellville Jottings

promised some more on the sub- ject. 1 think it better to tell them in reverse order and so 1 shall tell here of the work of the breeder. The aim of the breeder. as said before, is to either produce something new or else to perfect some breed or color already produced. For instance, one bunch of breeders are now working to produce Rhode Island Red chickens with no black what ever on tn em.
 This kind of breeder is working away from the standard of per. lection toward an ideal which they hope to mako the standard in the future. So also is the breeder who is working to pro- duce new breeds or new colors in an old breed. It was due to :he work of just such men that We have the Rhode Island Whites, Partridge Rocks, the many colors of Leghorns. and many other breeds that are like other ones except in color.
 But that is not what I wanted to tell:
 There are certain rules that hold good in breeding that 1 wish to call your attention to. They are the ones these breeders use.
 The first is that one we have all heard of so much, that like produces like. This one we in the poultry world call Heredity.
 The second one is that there will be a little variation in each succeeding generation. some be- ing better than theic parents and some worse. This law we call variation.
 The third one is that each sue ceedlng generation will be ou the average a little nearer the ave- rage for the breed than the one before It. This we call progress sion, that is. an advance toward a certain goal. Now 1t would be easy to show how the breeder takes advantage of these laws of nature.
 Taking birds most nearly the type he wishes to perfect he can mate them, and. by the law of Heredity. there is no chance for them to produce birds of a differ ent breed. By the law of Varia- lion there must be q few birds that are far in advance of their parents. provided these same pa- rents have the quality of trans hitting their good quail ies. From these birds he can then produce still better birds which then can be mated to produce still better birds and so on to iniinity.
 Next time l will give q breed ing plan to fix these qualities after they are obtained. The plan of the breeder in search of a new breed is slightly different in the start and consists in the mating of birds that may be radically different in character but still combine some of the character istics that are desired in the new breed.
 Possibly not one of the products is satisfactory for several years, and let me say right here that there is no such thing as breed ing meat type fowl to an egg type fowl to produce a general purpose fowl. 1t just simply can not be done that way. You can not produce a quality in the off spring that is not present in at least one of the parents. More next time.
