TOO MUCH RAIN
 AT STATE FARM
Not Over Eighty Per Cent of Cotton Stand-CrOp Has Been We'll Culti. yated-Three Hundred Acres of
 New Land Cleared This Year.

Little Rock, Ark, July 1.-Supt J. A. Pitcock of the state penitentiary returned last night from the state farm, in Lincoln county, and reports entirely too much rain for the good of the farm, although the convicts are doing their best to keep the crop in excellent shape.
 There is probably not to exceed 80 per cent of normal stand" of cot ton on the farm, says MT. Pitcock, and this is all small for it's age. There is also much of the cotton crop in which replanting has been done, and it is always more or less of chance
 to the results that will be obtained from replanting. Bad conditions might reduce the stand to not more than 70 per cent normal
 Although there is about 2,S00 acres in the present crop, much larger acreage than that of last year, Supt Pitcock doubts if the fall crop will be much ahead of that of last year, owing to the unreasonable weather. The cotton has been hood out three times, and some of it has been culti- vated in this manner for the fourth time. Usually, by the time the crop is gone over the fourth time the cotton is large enough to take care of itself.
 About 300 acres of new land has been cleared this year, since the plant ing of the 1910 crop was begun. When the weather is not suitable for work ing the crop the convicts are kept busy in clearing new land.
 No land has been cleared outside Of the original fence limits ,and there is probably as much as 600 acres yet that can be cleared without going outside of the old farm boundary. Although the cotton is small at the state farm it is as large as that on any adjoining plantation, all of which have suffered alike from the excessive wet weather.
