Little Rock, May 13.-Despite fre- quent and general rains over the state, reports received from more than 500 crop correspondents, representing practically every locality in the state, indicate that blowing and planting is we'll advanced as compared with pre- vious years, and that the outlook gen. orally is encouraging, according to a statement issued yesterday by the Ar kansas Crop Reporting Service, through Charles s. Bouton, govern ment statistician, and Jim G. Ferguson state commissioner of agriculture.
 These reports also bring favorable information regarding live stock, which is reported in general as heal thy and in good condition, the deaths from disease among hogs being 40 per cent less than usual.
 Other points of interest are the general improvement in the condition of small grains over month ago, small reserve of hay on hand and the smallest acreage of wheat to be har- vested this year on record.
