ARKANSAS FARMERVS.
 GOOD JUDGEMENT

"The Arkansas farmer has not exercised good judgement in re- ,y;nc on 9 ] cent cotton to buy k, cent butter and $14 hay" de- clared Deputy Commissioners of Agriculture R. NJ. Ilutchins. Hess cotton, more hay, hogs, corn and'proyisions make pros, neritv. It is safe to say that the consumers of feed in Arkansas will buy more than 100000 tons ofsfeed during the fiscal year, and buying, too, at a price con- siderable higher than was paid last year. Every man who has raised cottons this year kn ows what he has realized from his cotton crop, he also knows that he pays about $1.50 for his corn chops, $1.50 for bran, five cents apiece for his eggs, a price for his butter almost out of reach and prairie hay at an alfalfa price "Still we cling to doubtful King Cotton, when other pro- ducts have averaged a better price, and in most cases a good market is easier reached. Even though you raise only enough corn, for example to feed your own stock, it's value cannot be determined until you offset the supply you have with the mar, ket price of corn. In view of the fact that cotton has not
 brought a price commensurate with the cost of production, and
 that all feeds have been scarce and high, not only this year but other years, it will be good judge.
 ment to plant plenty of corn. Though this season might prove
 to be good season for corn, it will be difficult to have a supply
 thatwill meet the demands, at a
 reasonable price, before the year
 has ended. "

NO NEW CASES
 REPORTED TODAY

While there are few suspic ious cases, up to noon today no new cases of meningitis have de> veloped
 Herbert White, the II year old son of W. R. White, Jr., has the most serious case and grave fears are entertained for his recovery. Hugh Dillard's condition is bet ter. and Lena Denson, the little daughter of Jim Denson, is thought to be much better.
 Drs. D. A. Hutchinson and J. $. Hopkins, of Nashville, are in the city. These two gentlemen have been in Texrs, where men, ingitis prevails and are lending our local physicians aid in com batting with this disease. Drs. Hutchinson and Hopkins have made this malady "a study and should receive much praise for the work they are doing. Meningitis is the term applied by Herpin to the inflammation of the membranes enveloping the brain. Acute simple meningitis as a rule involves the membranes extensively, but is more marked over the convexity of the cere< bral hemisphere than at the base of any localized spot. The premonitory symptoms are well marked, as headache, gradually getting worse, heaviness, giddi- ness, irritability and frequently sickness and vomiting.
 There are acute and chronic forms of the malady. The for mer generally terminates in death, and the latter results in maniacal excitement and then in idiocy.
 Everything possible should be done to prevent this disease from spreading; use sprays three times each day. Keep your children at home.

WORKING TO RDDUCE
 COTTON ACREAGE

Little Rock, Feb. 9.-A meet ing of business men, cotton deal CTS and growers, merchants, bankers and others interested in the reduction of the cotton acre. age was held at the Board of Trade Friday forenoon for the purpose of hearing J. c. Ander. son, of South Carolina, origina- tor of the plan, discuss it's scope and mission. It is know n throughout the south as "The Rock Hill Plan, "and it contem> plates, in effect, a reduction of at least 25 per cent in amount of cotton planted this year from that grown in 1911.
 A state superintendent will be selected who will proceed at once to organize the various counties by the appointment of central committees of three who shall name three or more can- vassers in each township to cir culate the pledges for the sigma lures of the farmers.
 Mir. Anderson who originated the plan, is a vehicle manufac- turer at Rock Hill, South Caro- lima, and lis proposition has been endorsed by the Southern Cotton Congress and by the vari- ous Commissioners of Agricul- ture. MT. Anderson found las t year that his sales fell short be- cause the cotton crop had not yielded the usual returns, and he has entered enthusiastically upon this scheme for reducing the acreage and the consequent yield, and thereby forcing bet ter prices for product raised at a lower cost.

MENINGITIS REPORTED
 OVER THE STATE

Meningitis is reported from several places in the state, and there have been a number of deaths from it, but physician S declare that it has not assumed the proportions of an epidemic. In fact, there are fewer cases now than ordinarily at this sea son.
 There are not more than half a dozen cases in Little Rock at this time, with four deaths in Janu- ary, while there were more than forty deaths in that city during the year 1911.
 There are two kinds, one of which is not contagious and near ly always proves fatal, and the other, the epidemic kind, which has been creating such havoc in Texas.
