THE STATE HOSPITAL
ROW COMPROMISED
Superintendent Admits There
Was Cause For Complaint
And Promises to Do Better
Little Rock, May 30.—The
state board of control and Dr.
L. P. Bledsoe reached a com
promise after 5 o’clock Satur
day afternoon after negotia
tions that lasted more than 24
hours. The agreement provides
that Dr. Bledsoe continue as
hospital superintendent.
That Dr. Pat Murphy, staff
physician, whose resignation
was asked by the board,remain
on the hospital staff.
That Dr. J. F. Darnell, as
sistant surgeon, Mrs. Lucy Pil
ling. clinical clerk; and Miss
McWilliams, stenographer, be
discharged.
That no more autopsies or
post-mortems be conducted by
hospital physicians without the
consent of relatives of the dead
persons upon whose bodies ex
aminations are to be held, or
without consent of the board
of control.
A statement signed by Sup
erintendent Bledsoe was issued
containing the foregoing pro
visions and with the following
information:
That at the time of the letter
written by Gov. George W.
Hays to the board complaining
of the number of autopsies, Dr.
Bledsoe was unaware of the
real number of post-mortems
being held at the institution,
and that his (Dr. Bledsoe) cri
ticism of th • governor was un
fair. He admitted that Gov.
Hays had causes for complaint.
Joint Statement Issued
Another joint statement was
issued by the board and Dr.
Bledsoe as follows:
A\ hen employed by the
board. of control, I agreed to
devote ray entire time to the
I State Hospital for Nervous Dis
eases, and to consult the board
before making any important
i changes in the staff of em
; ployes.
“Upon investigation, it ap
| pears that this has not been
I strictly complied with, some of
the wards not having been vis
ited more than once in 30 days,
i he wards will be visited by
myself more frequently and
the provisions of the original
agreement carried out.
“ 1 he following resignations
to be accepted by Dr. Bledsoe
their successors to be named
by Dr. Bledsoe, and the board
and to be mutually agreeable:
Dr. Darnell, Mrs. Pilling and
Miss McWilliams.
“In the future no more autop
sies will be held without the
consent of the relatives of the
deceased or the consent of the
board.
“At the time Gov. Haysmade
the statement to the board in
his letter with reference to au
topsies being held at the hospi
tal. Dr. Bledsoe was not fami
liar with the number being
held. I aking the matter from
Gov. Hays’ \ iewpoint, his posi
tion was correct, and after in
vestigating the number held,
we think the criticism of him
tor raising this question was
improper.”
The foregoing joint state
ment was signed by Dr. Bled
soe, superintendent, and by W.
H. Hall, T. J. Raney and O. C.
Burnside, members of the Board
of Control.

ROYS AS PARTNERS
Farmers are neglecting a vit
al thing in the education of
their boys in agriculture when
they fail to enter into partner
ship with them in the growing
of livestock. The fathers of the
two thousand41 pig club” boys
in Arkansas are wise and it will
be a fine thing if they will go
right from pigs to hogs and
calves and colts. Help the boy
make money and at the same
time help his character by en
couraging him in the handling
and owning of goodstock.Make
a fair and square contract with
the boy and tie him to agricul
ture and help him to a practi
cal agricultural education. The
pig and poultry club youngsters
of Arkansas are leading the
way to a greater agriculture
and to a greater Arkansas.
HOG VACCINATION
During the last year serum
from the plant at Little Rock,
conducted by the Veterinary
Deartment of the College of
Agriculture, has been sent to
every county in Arkansas, and
men from the office of the State
Veterinarian and the county
agricultural agents have vacci
nated hogs in every county. In
many counties about half ttye
time of these agents has been
devoted to this work, to the
neglect of regular farm dem
onstrations. In hundreds of
cases agents have spent four
I hours on the road, going and
I coming, and thirty minutes in
vaccinating three or four hogs.
[Farmers can not afford to have
their agents use their time in
that way. There is only one
remedy and that is for each
farmer to vaccinate his own
hogs or for the farmers of a
neighborhood to arrange for
one or two neighbors to do it.
Don’t make a first class agent
do all this work. One county
agent in Arkansas has fitfy
farmers with instruments, and
a progressive banker in the
county seat keeps a supply of
serum on hand all the time and
the agent has time to attend to
farm demonstrations and tothe
boys.
ABOUT WHEAT
Wheat may follow wheat or
oats but it will pay to disc the
ground as soon as grain is
shocked and seed to cowpeas.
Then plow under the crop of
peas about the first of Septem
ber, work the ground well and
let it settle or get firm and seed
about the first of October. An
other good way is to let wheat
follow corn with peas and ‘hog’
it off in September. Such a
field may be plowed, but usu
ally a disc harrow will put it in
good condition for early Octo
ber seeding.
FA R M ERS’ MEET1NGS
The Extension Service, of the
University of Arkansas and U.
S. Departrm nt of Agriculture
has held farmers’ meetings
this year in every county in the
state, preaching safe farming,
pastures and livetsoek. Now
the campaign for farmers’
meetings will begin on July 17,
1916, in southwestern Arkan
sas and also in northwestern
Arkansas. About a dozen
speakers will be available and
it is planned to hold four to six
meetings in every county in
Arkansas before Christmas.
Farmers are urged to talk to
their county agents as to where
they want the meetings held
and what subjects they want
discussed.

Corn in Arkansas is too expen
sive to feed alone to hogs. Ber
muda pasture is good, cowpea
pasture is better, but best of
all have some soy dbeans for
the late summer pasture. The
medium yellow is a good vari
ety. Get it planted right away
if possible. Get some in after
the wheat or oats. Get some
soy beans planted for the hogs,
some for hay, and some for en
riching the land. Try them.
Try them again.
