Makes Pumping Up Tires
Unnecessary

Chicago, Ill.-R. X. Hughes Of 1872
Monroe, this city, has perfected a
new air-tight valve cap that enables
auto owners to pump up their tires
once and never touch them again I'M
til punctured or worn out. Leading
tire manufacturers, after thorough
tests, have approved Mr.. Hughes in
vention and banished the old theory
that air escapes through rubber. One
imitation lasts the life Of tire, and
tire mileage is doubled. These caps
retail for $1.25 for set of five. The
inventor wants agents and will send
proof and samples free. Write him

Two buffalo, four deer. an alligator
and a number of smaller animals con
stitute the nucleus of what it is hoped
will one day be genuine zoo in Little
Rock. In addition TO these larger ami
mails, there are a wolff, bear a coyote
a possum, a red fox, some coOns and
five baby coons. Probably the greatest
rarity among these animals is an avil-
inc or Mexican wild boar.
The ZOO is located on the grounds of
the state Fair, west Of the city, and
the management has set apart a forty
acre tract TO provide ample grounds
for its enlargement. Some money has
been raised by private subscription
and n number of the animals have
been donated, but this is only begin
ming. The Fair management is devils
ing means for the raising of sufiici-
ent fund to purchase cage of mon
keys, a lion. camel, an elephant,
pair of ostrhhcs and some kangaroos.
One Of the greatest features of the
proposed 200 is bird house and Secre-
tary Bylander has a vision Of installing
the largest bird house in America. II
should be large enough to cover very
large area and high enough TO enclose
ordinary trees, providing all natural
conditions for bird life. This would
provide for all known species Of birds,
although it would be necessary to Sc
gregate the eagles, hawks and other
birds Of prey,
As means of raising a fund with
which to provide housing facilities for
the animals already on the grounds
and to purchase others, an automobile
race meet will be given at the Fair on
Saturday, May 9th. The feature Of
this event will be a 80 lap race for
Arkansas drivers, open to any driver in
the state. There will also be entered
seven professional licensed racers driv-
ing standard dirt track cars Among
thm will be Fred Horey of Chicago,
former worlds champion, who holds
six worlds records on a dirt track,
driving new car built especially for
racing Another driver will be Ray
LamplSin Of Waco, Texas, who holds
several state records and is driving
one of the new celebrated Eight-in-a-
row Dusenbergs. Miss Lillian Boyer,

Little Rock Letter

Little Rock, May 4-The State Plant
Board calls attention to the fact that
the farmers of Arkansas are apparent
ly getting back to a more conservative
basis in their selection of their cotton
varieties. This is in keeping with the
general forward program being adopt
ed by the Agricultural interests of the
state. Not only are varieties being
improved and grades raised, but a
greater spirit of independence is being
shown by the farmers in providing for
their own necessities. The amount Of
cottonseed brought into Arkansas last
year was unprecedented due to unfav-
Orable weather conditions, which rem

General Robert Lee Bullard, U. S. A.,
one of the great heroes of the A. Il. T.,
who visited i'm Little Rock last week,
is an interesting raconteur. He has
a fund of stories for all occasions that
keeps his audiences in good humor.
One of his characteristic stories was
told at the reception given him in
Governor Terral's Office, when a news
paper reporter was introduced to him.
He said that he had n great regard
for newspaper men, although one of
them had at one time caused him very
serious trouble. A correspondent for
a southern paper quoted a New York
paper as having said that n magazine
article quoted him as saying that he
had been named Robert Lee when he
was too young to object The insinu-
alton was that although an Alabamian,
he was not proud of having been nam
ed for the South's greatest hero. As
a matter of fact he said there was no
ground whatever for the statement ac-
credited to him, but he had difficulty
in explaining it. Finally, the only way
out of it was to publish an interview
to the effect that his parents could find
no name for him and when he was 8
years old he named himself. General
Bullard is notoriously a truthful man
and while he would not make an affi-
davit to- this story, he said il had the
desired effect and had restored him to
the confidence of his Southern friends.

dered much of the native seed unfit for
planting. Indications are that the
amount of seed imported this year
will be little more than half as much
as was brought in last year. In 1924
hundreds of tons of oil mill seed were
exported from North Carolina and
other states for planting purposes.
Thousands of bushels of inferior and
untried varieties were imported under
extravagant claims of their superior
ity. This years cotton permits issued
by the Board indicate that the farmers
are returning to varieties which care
full tests made by the experiment sta
tion have shown bring the greatest
profit to the grower year after year
The Board is leaving no stone unturn-
ed in the encouragement of the plant
ing of native-grOwn seed which tests
show are adapted to Arkansas condi-
tions of soil and climate. In many in

of cotton diseases and pests will al
ways consist of our independence of
outside seed sources"

unusual increase in the amount Of
black rot in sweet potatoes. Because
of this increase in the disease, only
nine one of 81 applicants for certifica-
tion were able to qualify 1t has been
found necessary under ordinary CON
ditions to condemn from one quarter
to one third of the acreage inspected,
but the past year the condemned acre
age ran well over 80 per cent. The
increase was due entirely to black rot
The disease has been attributed to the
fact that the good prices Of 1923 caus-
ed heavy demand for sweet potato
seed, with the result that much disease
and inferior seed was planted In a
certain county which had previously
been noted for disease-free seed, the
black rot was definitely traced to the
importation of cheap seed from other
parts of the state. 1t has been demon
strated thai some sweet potato dis
eases remain in the soil permanently
and it is therefore cheaper to set no,
plants at all than to raise a crop of
diseased plants. The rise and fall of
the sweet potato industry in various
parts of the country is story of the
fluctuation in the prevalence of sweet
potato diseases. This applies to Ar
kansas as well as to other states. The
diseases which affect the crop have
tendency to reduce the. potato ship
ments from the various sections in
fected. One county alone, which ship
ped 200 cars in 1920, shipped only IS
cars of sweet potatoes in 1923.
Through the State Plant Board per-
mits have been granted this season for
the shipment of 1876 carloads of Ar
kansas potatoes to California. This
represents an increase of more than 80
per cent over the shipments made last
year and is a particularly gratifying
Louisiana and Texas potatoes are quar-
antined by California and there is
therefore an unusual opportunity for
the development of large market for
the Arkansas product 1t is estimated
that at least one third of the potatoes
shipped out of Arkansas this year went
to California, market made possible
by the State Board. Chief Inspector
Becker says, without doubt there
is an opportunity for developing a mar
ket in California which will consume
fully four times as many of our pota-
toes as were shipped to that market
this year.
During the past year 90 nursery
mems licenses and 272 agents licenses
have been issued by the Board.
Substantial progress was made dur
ing the year in the eradication of cedar
and pear blight in Benton and Wash
ington counties. Under the direction
of the Board, its scouts have located
and destroyed 1000 cedar trees in areas
supposed to have been free of them.
These cedar trees had cost apple grow
ers very heavy losses during the past
year. Pear blight eradication has been
quite effective and one township ut
least has been completely cleared of
pear trees which win serve as an ex-
cellent demonstration area when there
is another pear blight epidemic.
