The greatest campaign for diversified farming and live stock raising that the South has ever known will begin in this State the first part of this month. The plan of this cam
 paign provides for practical help to thousands of farmers who want to cut their cotton acreage in half, and begin diversifying. Some of the fore most farming men in the United Stat
 es will come here to help them. No man or woman, boy or girl, in this state can afford to miss these meetings that will be held on hundreds of farms, and at hundreds of school hous- es, and in many towns. This campaign gives Arkansas the chance to come in to her prosperity that her soil war rants, if a large part of this soil is given over to the riasing of crops for the feeding of man and beast.

WILL ACT AS
 ADVISERS FOR STUDENTS

Fayetteville, Ark.-The system of having faculty members act as ad- visers for students, which has been in effect a number of years at the Uni versity of Arkansas, has recently un- dergone revision and has been con- siderably improved. Instead of leav- ing students to shift for themselves or to secure advice from other stu dents or to make up their own minds about important matters connected
 with their course of study, each stu dent is assigned to a member of the faculty who is expected to get in close
 touch with him, to find out his aims and desires in coming to the Univer- sity, to guide him in the choice of a
 profession, and to give him any assis- tance possible. Each student is assign ed to some member of the faculty to whom he recites, and each member of the faculty who acts ac a students adviser is expected to hold a confer ence with his students at least once la month. He must also make a re- port to the authorities of the Universi- ty at the end of the term stating how many conferences he has had with each student and giving an account of the work of the students and of his relations with them as adviser
 It is believed that this system will
 secure a higher grade of wrok and
 greater concentration and fixedness
 of purpose on the part of the students

every emergency which abnormal times have precipated
 The currency and banking law is a long step Tn progress to guide the world. It was bold achievement but just as necessary as were the Clayton Bill and the trade commission bill. The power of concentrated wealth had to be dealt with, but dealt with fairly and In order to make any reform effec- tlVe, It was necessary to make 1t i'm possible to have privately dictated panic and manufactured depression.
 But the conception of the new cur rency law went further and mobilizes our reserves for financial power as well as for business protection. Time will prove that this measure alone will perpetuate the memory of the Wilson administration.
 Tn handling our complicated for eign situation, the administration de- serves the grateful, cordial support of every American upon patriotic grounds. An administration which has kept us at peace, ready to de- velop our resources and supply the impoverished world with food, clothes and manufactured goods, is not to be considered lightly. As patriots we should ask What might have happen ed?' And, as good citizens, we should inquire Is it safe to take any chances amid such dangers?' The Wilson ad- ministration has answered these ques- tions satisfactorily"

REDUCTION COTTON ACREAGE

With the end of the European war :, where near in sight, and the price 4 cotton hardly more than its cost of ,,oduction. it is certainty that Tn ,corv cotton belt state, county and ,ommunity, the cotton acreage for the cning year will be tremendously re- ,,,od It is also clear to those who
 ,,u studied this situation that a five uTion bale crop next year will bring smuch money, and maybe more, than fifteen million bale crop this year. f. as it is generally believed, next years crop will be only about five million bales, this will greatly in- auence for advance the present price of cotton. The spinners-knowlng that five million bale crop is made ouate in itself--would buy this years crop in advance against the greatly re- dleed acreage for next year. If the war ends very soon, there will be a biz demand for cotton abroad next year. If the war continues means will be found in the United States for a remarkable increase in the manufac- ture of cotton goods. These clements make it a certainty that a five mil lion bale crop next year will bring just as much money as this years unpre- cedented crop.
 Knowing that full crop would be harder to market next year than this year, and that the bankers and mer- chants will not advance equal credits next year, it seems a certainty that the next cotton crop will be less than half what this years crop is, and may be only five million bales. With this reduced acreage, there would be a great deal of idle lands in Arkansas and other Southern States. Idle land CoeS not pay This abandoned cotton land must be utilized for these crops winch are the necessities of life-corn ana oats, peas and peanuts, clovers, aaia and vetches. These crops
