STATES FUNDS TIED UP
Refusal of County Judge to Act May
 Cause Trouble.

Little Rock-State officials have been making an effort to secure the settlement of the St. Francis county collector. The funds of the delin- quent county are tied up by the failure of the Bank of Forest City County Judge E. A. Rolfe, who was also president of the defunct bank, has not acted on the settlement of the collector.
 The refusal of Judge Rolfe to ap- prove the settlement has prevented the paying in of the funds which were on deposit prior to the failure of the bank, and also threatens to prevent the annual apportionment of the school and pension funds on September 1.
 Last week L. l.. Coffman, auditor of state, sought the opinion of the At. torney General Moose as to the law if any, to cause the settlement to be acted on. His action followed the re- quest of other departments of the state government who will be affected by holding up of the apportionments
 The opinion of Attorney Genera, Moose says that there is a law to compel the county judges to approve or disapprove the settlements of the collectors during the July terms os their courts. He says further that should the judge not approve or dis. approve the settlement prior to the date for the September distribution of the states funds, he can be con- pelled to act.

 Little Rock.-The place of meeting of the state convention of the Cnited Confederate Veterans has been chang. ed from Pine Bluff to Little Rock and fhe dates of meeting being made the same as those of the Daughters of the Confectionery, October p, 23 and "A.
 General Thomas Green in his official order announcing the new meeting place says:
 The commanding general, after careful consideration and after having received officisl communications from both the Daughters of the Confederacy and Omer R. Weaver camp of Little Rock, requesting me to select the above named city for our annual state convention, for the reason that the state convention of the United Daugh- ters of the Confederacy will meet there on October 22, 23 and 24 also that it will be mutually pleasant for the two organizations to enjoy the social and fraternal features provided for the occasion, believing also that a meeting of the two organizations or the same dates and in the same city will have a tendency to promote the best interests of both and afford an opportunity for social pleasures thai would doubtless prove beneficial and gratifying to all concerned
 "I have therefore changed my orig inal plan of convening our next meet ing in Pine Bluff, and take pleasure in announcing to my staff and the camps constituting this Jurisdiction, that our next convention will be held in the city of Little Rock, opening at 1 o'clock D. m. on Wednesday, October 22, and continuing the 23d and 24th, the dates selected by the United Daughters of the Cer 1eaeracy for their annual ses- sieu :
 In the official order Gen. Green urges that all camps pay their per capita tax to the national and state organizations. Gen. Green also urges that camps send delegates and that no proxies be allowed used.

WEEKLY LETTER TO
 ARKANSAS FARMERS
By John H. Page.

Since l have been your commis- sioner, have tried to have something of value and interest to say to the people in each weekly letter. In each one there has been one main point now want to emphasize some of the main points. l want you to remember them, and some of you try them out.
 The farmers of Arkansas should plant less tban half as much cotton next year as this. If you don't reduce your cotton crop, you cant raise enough other crops to make you sue. cessful farmer. So arrange your crops so that you will not have to buy a sin gle thing that is produced on the farm except sugar. Abandon cotton alto gether as soon as possible Other crops pay better Arkansas is great alfalfa state. It will grow on almost any kind of soil. Study alfalfa and how to grow it. It is the foundation or sue cessful stock raising. It is a money maker without stock It will grow three to fodr tons to the acre, and two dollars a ton will pay for the cutting. You know what it is worth Figure for yourself, and you will see that it will. beat a cotton crop too bad to talk about. Then plenty of corn. You need corn to go with alfalfa. The two make a good balanced ration for horses, cattle and hogs. Now is the time to prepare your land for alfalfa. Sow it any time you like between now and October the 18th.
 Sow some burr clover or winter vetch for winter pasture for hogs and cattle. Either one will pay better than any crop you had this summer If you have the stock to pasture. Give attention to good cattle and hogs at once. Get some good males and cross them with the grades and scrubs. It don't take long for good blood to tell. Remember that hogs and cattle are the surest and best money on the farm now. There is not enough live stock in the United States to furnish a SUD- ply for the inhabitants for six months. If you had your proportionate per capita amount of the fresh meat sup ply in Arkanas, after all the hogs and cattle were hutchered, you would have about 1S0 pounds, so you see the high price of live stock has come to stay. The number of cattle and hogs has been decreasing for several N 0 The number of people-the meat
 ers-having been increasing. Anyb IA knows that means hioh DripPS SS stock. Get in the game and get you
 share of the profits Help Need thss ! nation. They mus! have it and will pay for it.
 Make pastures and grow hay. Corn gathering time will son be here. Some | have topped the corn, and some have gathered the fodder. Either way is a mistake. The corn will lose more weight in maturing than the forage is worth. If you planted peas in your corn and have cattle and hogs to fat ten, you may turn the stock on the crop at gathering time and feed 1t down. The hogs will eat the peas and the waste corn. The cattle will eat both. There will be less waste this way than to gather and feed. Try it once and you will like it. Of course you will haze to pen your stock at the | finish to put them in the best condi- | ton. Prepare to save the barn yard manure this fall and winter. Make some pens and cover them for the pur- pose. It pays big.
