'.The farmers of Arkansas are ca
pable of taking care of themselves,
and they are beginning to place farm
ing in the position it should occupy"
said the newly elected Farmers I'm
ion president. H. S. Mobley. "Three-
fourths of the people of Arkansas are
engaged in farming, and it is neces-
sary that the profession be made as
efficient as possible To attain this,
the farmers must educate both them
selves and their children for scientific
farm work. This includes proper crop
diversifcation and most important of
all, the disposition of the farm prod
ucts, which feature has been sadly
neglected in the past. The policy ad-
yocated by the Farmers Union is
that the farmer keep himself inform
ed on all methods of advancement,
and thus aid in the education of the
masses, making them better producers
and citizens.
ITO become more efficient and
scientific, the farmers improve their
stock and conserve the fertility of the
soil instead of destroying it. This re-
uuires that the farmer make study
of these matters. We must not only
support our own organization, but
must cooperate with all subsidiary
organizations, such as the county
fairs and livestock shows. The cam
paign of education to be conducted by
the union must have the hearty sup
port of every member, and it will re-
suit in a larger membership and a
more effective organization. We must
say, Down with the knocker and ev-
erybody be live booster, and farm
ing will become the scientific and sys-
tematic profession that is attractive
and profitable

BRIGHTER PROMISE
FOR FLEECY STAPLE
TWO STATES STILL DRY
PLANT is FRUITING WELL AND
RAPID ADVANCEMENT EN-
PECTED IN NEXT 10 DAYS

Memphis, August 12-The cotton
crop did well over nearly the whole Of
the belt, the exceptions to improve
ment being southern and central Tex
as AMI parts of North Carolina,
where insufficient rains fell. The im-
provement was based on rains, which
in nearly all sections east of the Mis-
sissipp river were more or less
heavy, being excessive in limited dis
tricts With the moisture now in the
soil the crop is expected to advance
rapidly for at least 10 days, barring
excessive precipitation, which is now
perhaps more than any other develop
ment to be feared, as it would promote
very rapid stalk growth and retard
fruiting, which has not proceeded as
fast as is usual for the season.
1t is noted, however, that at the
present time the plant is setting fruit
quite well and making an all-round
advancement. The greatest recent
improvement has occurred in the i'm
mediate Mississippi valley state, nota-
bly, Mississippi and in Alabama and
northern and eastern Texas.
On an average the crop is estimat-
ed to be two or three weeks late, and
in many fields grown bolls are very
scarce. But, on the other hand,
there are fields nearly up to normal
that promise almost full yield.
Crops are irregular in all sections.
Insect damage up to the present
has been almost neglible, but an in
crease in boil weevils is noted in Mis-
sissippi, and the cotton caterpillar or
leaf worm has appeared in central
and eastern Texas and in small num-
bers in Alabama. Further rains or
long-continued showers would greatly
facilitate the spread of the pest.
Rain is now needed only in the eX-
IRENE northeastern part of the cotton
belt and in the extreme southwest.
Elsewhere warm, dry weather will
best promote the development of the
plant.

SEVERAL COUNTIES YET
TO SETTLE WITH STATE

Little Rock, August 9.-The count
les of Cross, Independence, Little
River, Miller, Poinsett, st. Francis
and Yell have not yet made settle
ment with the state for the taxes OF
1912, and several others, including
Pulaski, have not paid in their full
amounts. The general revenue fund
of the state will get $73,7SO.47 from
Pulaski county. Collections in Pulas-
XII county this year were the largest
in history, being S1,O85, 721.94, as
compared with $976,57S.70 for last
year.
The collectors are required to make
their final settlement with the state
within Is days after the approval OF
their settlement by the county judge.
the apportionment of the school fund
will be made on the first Monday in
September, and should any county
fail to make its settlement before that
time, its portion of the school fund
must be kept in the treasury unap-
portioned for another year There
will be considerably more than mil
lion dollars in the fund.

Rains GENERAL
OVER THE STATE
OTHER NEWS or CAPITAL
ONLY ONE-HALF OF COUNTY
EXAMINERS HAVEF FILED
ENUMERATION REPORTS.

Little Rock, August 10.-Reports
from all sections of the state of CO.
pious rains during the last few days
have caused marked advance in ag-
ricultural stock. The rains appear to
have been very general, and in many
places it was badly needed. Those
who consider themselves good guessers
on that sort of thing, say the week
rainfall has been worth a million dol
lars to the farmers of Arkansas.
Only one-half of the county exam
iners have yet filed with the state SUI
perntendent their reports of enumer-
alton, upon which the annual appor-
tionment of the school fund, to be
made September 2, is based.
The custodian has served notice on
the penitentiary board and the state
land commissioner that they must va
cate their present quarters in the
state capitol to make way for the su-
preme court. The private Offices, con-
sultation rooms, library, etc, of the
supreme court will occupy practically
all of the south half of the main floor
of the building.
The. contract will be awarded Aug
ust 20 for the new $4,000 centEal
fire station, to be built adjoining the
city hall 1t is to be completed by
January !.
The new We'll packing house is to be
opened December /, if the present
plans Of the promoters prevail. Carl
J. Baer, industrial commissioner of
the Chamber of Commerce, which has
been the most active factor in secur-
ing this new enterprise, reports the
farmers all over the state are deeply
interested in it, and are going in ex-
tensively for cattle and hog raising.
There is more diversifcation of crops
this year than ever before, and the
packing plant will give this a great
impetus.

His illness was occasioned by too
close application to work during the
hot weather, and is by no means a.

slightly better. Baltimore American :
