summer Mr. Page received a
letter from Mr. Scott-Hunting

that he desired to remove from
Philadelphia to Arkansas and
engage in the farming business.
Since then he has bought a tract
of 1,000 acres of the best Lon

to work it scientifically.
In this connection, it is ex
pected that there will be a large
attendance of farmers and stock

state, at the second annual con
vention of the Arkansas Stock
Growers’ Association, which will
be held m Little kock reoruary

the state has been requested to
appoint as many delegates from
among the farmers and business
men as may be interested in live |
stock up to the number of twen

Announcements have also been
sent out by President H. L.'
B’Shears and Secretary J. )C.

fact that at the same time there
will be held in Little Hock a

a night school of stock breeding,
at which lectures will be given
by some of the best experts in J
the country. The College of
Agriculture and the U. S. De

is expected there will be over
500 stock raisers here from all
