the Reyno girls met the Corning girls
for second time this season, the
game being played on the local court.
Corning started the scoring by max
ing field goal in the first minute of
play, but owing to the excellent work
of the centers, Smith and Poteet, and
also the good guarding of Berry and
Holt for Reyno, the ball was kept near
the Reyno goal most of the time and
the Corning girls had few chances to
score later in the game.
The Reyno forwards, Booth and Hal
ford, took adantage of the opportunity
and piled up the scores. Halford max
ing a total of % points.
Svble Halford and Anita Smith wore
sent in at forward the last few min
utes of the game and the scoring was
continued, Smith making two goals
from the field making a total for tho
game of 30 to 1.
Campbell at forward and Polk ut s.

Interest Manifested
In Sheep Production

During the past week NJ. w. Mtt
drow, state livestock specialist, and W
b. Proctor, county agent, were buS
seeing the sheep growers of Randolpl
county and making plans for organic
ing an Early Lamb Growers Club. Tht
object is to so grow and fit the lamb
which are dropped in January and VI
until the middle of February that they
will top the high market in June which
is usually the best Of the season.
The plans are for these sheep grow
ers to dock" all their lambs and to
castrate the buck lambs from s to Is
days of age which prevents running
much risk of these lambs dying from
these operations. The ewes are to be
fed some grain after lambing so as to
furnish good milk flow for the lambs
during the sucking period. In addi-
tion to the early spring pasture the
lambs are to be fed small amount of
grain (about IA pound for each lamb
daily in creep where the old sheep
cannot crowd them away from the
trough. In this way all the sheep
growers treating their lambs alike ana
cooperating together In shipping a car
load of uniform lambs should top the
market by June 10th. Each sheen
growers lambs can be marked before
shipping so that each man will be paid
according to the grade of lambs he
produced

Mass Meeting Called
To Discuss Road Bill

County Judge Million is in Little
Rock this week on business connected
with the disposal of the counties share
of state road funds.
Governor Martineau is urging the
legislature to adopt measure that
would take the state money out of the
hands of county judges and place it in
the state highway funds. Judge Mil

discuss the proposed bill.
The annual meeting at Little Rock

of ideas on road building and admins
tratiOn as expressed by the governor
elect and the judges climaxing the
meeting Immediately after the gov
erDor-elect had presented his highway
program in a speech before the meet
ing the judges promptly adopted reso-
lutions denouncing the plan and pre-
saging their intention to carry their
opposition before the legislature.
The conflict apparently developed
over the proposal of the gOvernor-e;Hct
that during his administration, at least,
the expenditure of the money received
by the state from gasoline and oil
taxation and as federal aid be admin
istered by the state Highway Depart

counties approximately $3,0O0,000 per
year to be expended by the county
