Truck and Berry Association.

The county agent has been busy an- swefiEg calls to explain the Truck and Berry contracts. These meetings have now been held in Grannis, Cove,
 Wickes, Hatfield, Old Potter, Mena and Acorn. Growers are very much inter ested everywhere. Hatfield, Old Pot ter and Acorn have taken the lead in organization. These places have al- ready organized and elected directors.
 In signing the Sevier county con- tract direct each school district may be a unit in itself. The sales office and machinery of the association are already provided. All that is now nec- essary is to secure acreage enough in each locality to make economical ship ment. One of the strongest points in favor of the big association is that the different shipping points along the road may help each other in getting up car lots. Then too, the one sales office is able to keep in closer touch with the market.
 The communities who have signed the contract mean business. They are going to ship thru the big. association regardless of what other communities do. Old Potter community suggests an automobile trip to De Queen next week, taking our directors and as many members as possible. We will see what Sevier county growers are doing and meet with the board of di- rectors to discuss Polk county prob lens. The county agent is heartily in favor of the trip. It will give us the start we need in planning our further

Apply Dormant spray Nov.

This is the time of year to most ef- fectively apply the winter spray to the orchard. The pruning should be completed before the spray is applied because it make spraying easier and saves the material. If, however, the pruning work is not completed do not put off the spraying for when the buds begin to open it is too late.
 The winter or dormant spray is the most important spraying of the sea- son because during this season the material may be applied in concen- trated form which would kill the leaves and burn the fruit if applied during summer. This dormant spray not only kills the San Jose scale but 1t is very necessary in controlling most fungus diseases. It coats the trunk and branches of the tree with coat ing of fungicide and thereby prevents the spread of these diseases. When applied late in the winter, during Feb ruary or March, it is also quite effec- tive in controlling certain insect pests; especially the aphis.
 It should not be necessary to point out the importance of thoro applica- ton. If spraying is worth doing at all it is worth doing well. Very ire quently the tips of the twigs are missed or branches. are sprayed on only one side. One single twig tip two inches long infected with San Jose scale, is sufficient to reinfest the en- tire tree during the summer If few of these twigs are missed the results of the spraying will be disappointing Use lime-sulphur or other good commercial preparations for the win ter spray. The fact that lime-sul- phur is disagreeagle to apply is the best evidence of it's effectiveness. Di- lute these sprays according to direc- tions. Don't make any mistake on your mixture. If you are not sure how to prepare and dilute your spray ask the county agent for formula.

DIVORCE AND DAMAGE SUITS HEARD IN COURT
Chancellor Shaver Disposes of Seven Martial Disagreements at Chan
 cery Session.

Divorce and damage suits occupied most of the time of an adjourned ses- sion of Chancery court, which Chan cellor Shaver opened Monday morning and which was still going Wednesday afternoon. Chancellor Shaver hopes to end the hearings that he may re- turn home Thursday.
 The most lengthy hearing on the docket was the S15,000 damage suit of T. A. Allen against A. H. Scoggin. The suit is the outgrowth of a con tract made between the two men in 1920 for the sale of the Potter planer and certain other property. Scorgin was to receive lumber from Allen in part payment for the property, and after accepting some, is said to have refused to accept the rest. Thirteen witnesses were summoned to give tes- simony and the hearing was conclud- ed late Wednesday afternoon. The courts decision was in favor of the Fort Smith Lumberman. Seven divorce suits were disposed of m addition to other court matters, and the docket shows action in the seven cases as follows:
 Della Dean vs. W. W. Dean. di- vorcee, decree for plaintiff on grounds of cruel treatment

HARDING FOR SOLDIER BONUS
 BUT NOT PLAN OF FINANCING
President Declares It Impractical to Funds by Bond Issue-Op-
 poses Tax Program.

Washington, Feb. 14.-President Harding thinks it is impracticable to raise by bond issue at this time a large sum of money to finance the soldiers bonus, it was stated today at the White House, and he is unal- terably opposed to the suggested eight-point tax program or to a re- turn to any of the taxes that have been repealed.
 The executive was represented as being favorably disposed toward the bonus legislation and it was empha- sized that when he appeared before the Senate last July to ask that it's enactment he deferred he had not not taken position of hostility. It also was stated that promises made by Republicans in the 1920 primaries had not been lost sight of, but it was pointed out that no exact time had been fixed for the passage of an ad- justed compensation bill.
 The attitude of the executive, it was added, had to be that of finding a sane and defensible condition of the fulfillment of the promises made on the one hand and having regard or restore stability on the other
