PREDICT BIG DEVELPMENT

Bald Knob. April 10.-W. F.
Bland, attorney of Fort Worth,
and Graham Burnham, of Green
wood, Ark, were among those
looking over the White county
oil situation this week. Mr..
Bland expressed much confid
ence in the future of this dis
trict and extended his observa
lions to cover considerable no
rizon of White, Faulkner and ad
jacent counties.
Arkansas" declared Mr..
Bland, sis unquestionably Just
in the beginning of the develop
ment Of its oil possibilities, and
while statewide activities are
bound sooner or later to open
up more fields, some danger lies
in the possibility of ovelplaying
the enthusiasm that goes with
the oil game and not infrequent-
ly blocks real development with
inflated appraisements that will
make progress slow and at times
Improbable because of such in
flation of lease values"
The oil business, according to
Attorney Bland, is like any other
business, matter of coopera-
ton, community support and the
exercise of care, caution, skill
and efficiency. In other words,
a matter o fmoral and financial
cooperation as well as mere ply
steal force and mere acreage up
on which to set up drilling oper-
ations.
Engineer Bulnham, who for
eighteen years has been located
at Tulsa and is familiar with
development Of Oklahoma, Tex
as and Wyoming fields and for
the past six years has lived in
Arkansas, expressed confidence
that the next twelve months
would open up at least half
dozen great oil pools OF districts
in Arkansas that will in their
expansion lift Arkansas into the
list of : leading petroleum states
of the United States.

STRAWBERRY CROP
To Lead AilOther States In
Production Says Mar
keting Bulletin

Arkansas strawberry crop is
on declares an article in the
Arkansas Farm and Marketing
Bulletin, which will be mailed
out by the Department of Agri-
culture this week. The season
was opened The article says with
the shipment of crate from, Ho
ratio on March rs, the earliest
shipping date in the history of
the industry in this state.
The bulletin estimates that
there are 1915 acres ofstraw-
berries to contribute to the COM
mercial movement this year Civ
ing the state leadership over
all the states in strawberry
production.
The bulletin continues:
Prior to the heavy rainfall
and sudden drop in temperature
on Easter night the crop was in
good condition and it is not be-
lieved there has been any great
damage unless it be in the
northwest portion of the state,
where the thermometer fell be-
low the FREEING point. Some
damage from hail is reported in
White county.
"Eor The information of grove
crs, shippers and buyers, the de-
partment has gathered dates,
names of shippers and points
Of shipment.
"The prevailing price for pick
F, ing will be two and one-half
cents quart, the growers say.
The American ventilated style
Of crate will be almost unlver-
sally used. Many of the growers
estimate that it will cost them
81 a crate to get the berries on
the cars.
"If food prices prevail the
growers will be encouraged to
pick all their berries and the
movement will be heavy. An
early season usually is conduc-
i've to good prices.
"The transportation compan-
les have taken steps to provide
ample refrigerator service out
Of the principal points to the
northern and eastern markets.
Growers will be kept posted
on the condition Of the market
! by means of the bureau of mar
kets, United States department
of Agriculture. A specialist OF
the bureau who has followed
the crop through Louisiana,
has been assigned to Arkansas
and through him the press will
be kept daily informed of condl-
tions at the parlous strawberry
markets of the country, latest
price quotations, volume of the
sales, amount of berries on the
way to the markets, an many
| other factors that influence hte
selling of the crop.
AS the strawberry season adj
vances this specialist will follow
the crop. When the south Ark
ansas crop is marketed that in
Tennessee will be coming on, and
the specialist will move Oh to
| that state and perform the same
| service and assistance for the
growers there.
"This seasons strawberry a.
creage is nearly double that of
last year, when $500 acres were
only picked. This increase has
placed Arkansas in the lead of
Tennessee an Louisiana which
have alternately held first place
among the states in the produc-
I ton of this valuable fruit"
