Most every one is done gath ering this years crop, and our most industrious farmers have begun some preparatory work for a crop in 1912.
 Gus Garrett has had his cotton crop ginned and from eight acres he got eight bales, averag- ing about 40 pounds per bale or $500 pounds of lint. H e planted the purest strain of Mebane cotton and applied 150 pounds of fertilizer per acre. He also picked up all squares punctured by the boil weeyil early in July and burned them. The land was fresh-this being the fourth crop raised upon it.
 It looks now like we are going to have an abundant crop of can didates to pick from at our next primary. Let them come; all seem to be good men and we can't we'll help having a good ticket.

 Alvin Woosley and Gus Gar rett have captured and marketed about 50 opossums this fall. In their last catch there were three real black ones. Black and white opossums are very rare as most hunters know.

States Crop Reduced This
 Year.

Little Rock, Dec. 5-The cot ton picking season being over, and the state convicts above the number needed to clean off the fields and burn the cotton stalks In an effort to get rid of boil weevil, having nothing to do, the convlcts are now being turned over to the railroad contractors Seventy.fve negroes were brought from the farm last night and today and sent west on the Rock Island.
 The States crop this year was some short of the 1910 crop, there being only 1925 bales, just 75 bales less than Supt. Pitcook estimated there would be. This is pretty close guessing for a 25O0 acre field of cotton, and shows how we'll the suerinten- dent of the penitentiary is up on cotton in the field. The estimate was made at the time the first squares began to appear upon the stalks. About 200 convicts are kept on the farm during the winter to clear more land for the next season, as we'll as break up the ground and get it in condition for early planting.
