The report said that 12,923, ,6O6 bales had been ginned, compared with 12,- O81, 100 to Dec. l, and 12,439,- |036 one year ago.
 The amount ginned during the first half of the month was 842. .5O6 bales, compared with 584,496 for the same time last year.
 With the ginning so large, de- spite many reports that it had been running light, there was at once strength given to en- larged crop views, the consen- sus of opnion being that the government, in it's estimate of 3.677, ,OOO bales, was too low:
 Prices cotinued to decline Monday and local buyers were having all the way from 912 to III cents, though a few very poor hales sold as low as 6 cents pel pound.

Newark Gives Farm School Glad
 Hand.

Special to Independent.
 Newark, Dec. 19.-From all di- rections for twenty miles around men and women are coming in to attend the sessions of the farm school. Nothing of this kind had before been held at this place, and as the men at distance learn of the real nature of the school they are prompt to take advantage of it.
 Prof. Nelson took up the sub- ject of farm drainage Thursday morning. This subject proved to be of special interest and at the close of the hour after a num- Der of questions had been ans wered, he was requested to give the subject more time at later hour.
 When Prof. Lassiter finished his discussion of Cotton Diseas- es and Their Control" it took him fifteen minutes to answer the questions put by the farm CTS present. Much satisfaction was expressed with this lecture. After dinner a fine audience assembled to see the demonstra- tion of the butter fat termina- tion in milk by use of the Bab- cock tester, The whole process was followed with keen interest. Along with this process Prof. Wheelock explained the import ance of this test in any attempt to improve the production of a dairy herd.
 MT. D. C.. Welty, Agricultural Commissioner of the Iron Noun tain railroad system, who came in for the day, treated the school to a half hour discussion on beef cattle improvement and beef production. Following this, Dr. R. M. Cow, Arkansas State Vet erinarian, described and explain ed the treatment and prevention of hog cholera by the use of An ti-Hog Cholera serum.
 The attendance at the evening lectures was better than at any time. Dr. Cow outlined for his hearers the nature and control of contagious diseases. Prof. Wheelock followed with an ex- planation of the need of better sanitation for schools and resi- dences and described the install ation of sanitary sewerage sys- tems for such needs.
