vice TO Planters on Cotton
Production.
ACREAGE is on INCREASE
success of New Movement Depends
Upon All Sticking Together and
Not Waiting for Others.

| eastern Newspaper Union News Service
Little Rock.-ln discussing the
movement for cotton acreage reduc-
.Ion. Commissioner Sloan of the de-
nartment of agriculture has issued
the following warning to the farmers,
urging that the success of the whole
imposition depends upon the other
fellow" cutting down his cotton acre
age:
"Did you ever stop TO think just
how Inconsistent the other fellow
always happens to be when there is
4 campaign On for the reduction of the
acreage of cotton? Invariably, expe-
renee has taught us, the other fell
low views the situation just exactly
as we do. He says to himself, Every
body else is going TO Plant less cot
Ton this year, now is the time for
me plant more" In other words, why
not profit by the other fellows lack
Of business foresight? Statistics
show that the acreage of cotton has
Increased on an average of % per
cent yearly for the last 81 years. 1t
viii be remembered that every cam
paign for the reduction of the acre
age of cotton has been within that
time. Experience has proved a dear
and costly teacher for some of our
cotton warmers, especially so when
they have risked everything, like a
game of pitch and toss, depending on
the other fellow TO plant less.
"On the other hand, as business
wouldn't it be best to fol-
low the example of success set by the
other fellow here at home, who has
made good by having a farm mango
ment that will pay? As a general
thing, don't you find him to be your
neighbor, who raises CO ION as side
line, or your neighbor the trucker, or
the one who profits by the i'll expe-
rienees of those around home?
"He is the practical, present, other
fellow who advises you to make a
business of farming and not merely
a means of making a living. and fur
Their, that you leave future (hoping
the other fellow in the Carolinas will
plant less cotton) to Wall street gam
Dlers."

parture From hltney Gin.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Little Rock.-United States patents
have just been obtained by John r.
Fordyce of this city. The gin is said
to be the first successful departure

erty of pulling the fiber from seed

natural length and strength of each
fiber is preserved. The speed of GIN
ming exceeds the sped of the saw gin

gin strips the fiber from the seed in
more thorough manner and increas-
