 Little Rock, Ark, May 30, 1921. Mir. V. w. St. John, Publisher, Mena
 Star, Mena, Arkansas.
 Dear Mir. St. John:
 In recent conversation with you. had occasion to congratulate you on the extent and character of your country correspondence. l believe l told you at the time that we obtained from your paper more agricultural news that was of value to us than from any other paper in the state pub lished outside of Little Rock.
 have often thought what desir- able thing it would be if the cores pondents of the newspapers from our smaller cities and towns would in clude in their notes real information about crops and live stock in their location. For instance, it is a matter of interest for a great many people in the state to know that perhaps the average yield Of corn in Polk county might be twenty-five or twenty-six bushels per acre in certain year, and it is of statewide interest to know If the crop of corn or cotton or some other leading crop has been increased CT decreased ten, fifteen of twenty per cent, or whatever the figure may be. It is also of statewide interest to know of especially fine yields of any given crop, and if correspondents could iIi- clude such information in their weekly letters to such papers as yours, they would be giving items not only of local interest but of statewide interest.
 At this office we get papers from all over the state and it is amazing to us to see how little news there is in many of them of more than local interest. Not only does this bureau watch the state papers, but a great many other bureaus, for just the char acter of news I have indicated
 Possibly if the attention of your correspondents was drawn to this mat ter,I think many of them would be glad to include such items of more than local interest in their communi- cations.
 It is the aim of this office to give everybody within the state full infor- nation on all crops grown within the state at any time, not only for past years but for the present year The more detailed and the more local in- formation we can gain along these lines, the more complete will be our service.
 Yours very truly,
 Charles S. Bouton,

OUR VANISHING FORESTS.

Chicago Tribune.
Failure TO appreciate and correct our
errors IN handling the forestry problem
in the last half century will eventually
Chinafy large section of the United
States. The present terrible famine
in China is attributed to the denuding
of large section of that country of
forests. thereby causing periods Of
drought which have left the people TO
starve Similar effects in climatic
conditions. If not SO serious, would
follow equal denuding of the forest
areas Of this country.
Statietics prove concusively that we
are headed in that direction. Five
sixths Of our original timber is already
gone We are destroying what is left
at the rate of 5000, 600 acres year
We are cutting four times faster than
we are reproducing IL is estimated
that within ten years the southern
states will Toe reduced 10 supplying their

mands must be met almost entirely

problem begins to assume a personal
interest We need not figure that will

There 10 not enough public interest
in the problem or its solution. Such

TO-DAY. Thursday. March 3rd. closes
Woodrow Wilson's career as President
of the United States This position,
which we regard as the highest in the
world, he held for eight years. and it
has been very strenuous eight years.
The American citizen is pretty well
posted on what has transpired because
of the world war, while what may have
transpired had there been no war is a
matter of conjecture, although there
are many who claim that failure was
treadng on the heels Of Mr.. Wilson g
administration at the time European
dogs of war were unleashed from their
kennels. BE that as it may, Mr. Will
son proved TO be man of brilliant parts
yet far from that of a Messiah We
