A case was carried to the supreme
% court from Craighead county, where
\^Jlu Fred Hatch, a potato vendor, had
brought suit against Clifford and
Lewis Holmes and Fonga Garrett,
aged 13 and 14 years, claiming that
he had been insulted by these boys,
who had called him “taters.” In the
. lower court these boys had been con
victed and fined $5.00 and costs each.
The fathers of the boys appealed the
case to the supreme court, and it is
said that Chief Justice McCullough
very solemnly proclaimed the fact
that it was no violation of the law to
call Mr. Hatch “taters.”
Lieutenant Eugene Wallace arrived
on the Sunshine Special ths morning
from Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Georgia,
and will be home only two or three

Wallace will sail in a few days for

Greatest interest is being shown in
' my trips over the county in the new
ruling as to flour allowance to wheat
1 growers. The food administration,
i as an incentive to Arkansas farmers
to raise their own breadstuffs, has
allowed each man who grew wheat
this year arid who will grow wheat
j next year to have enough wheat
j ground for his own use on a basis of
10 nonnrlc? rvf flnnr nai* mnnt.Vl for Pftph
! member of his household instead of
{the six pound allowance now in ef
i feet.
The best policy is for several men
to go in partnership on a field of
wheat, as small fields are hard to
find and inconvenient to thresh. On
an average an acre of wheat will
make enough flour for three people.
I should like to see three times as
much wheat planted this fall as was
last fall, not in large fields for each
man for a money crop, but let every
farmer grow his own biscuits.
County Agenf Banks has received
a supply of record books* for the
j owners of threshing machines. Each
owner is required to keep a record of
wheat and other crops threshed
These books are in the office of Mr.
Banks at the court house and can be
; obtained free by either writing or
calling in person.
