ing for the first time in years mi

]. Gillick and Carl Fentzlaff will re-
quire new heads for the police and
water bodies Councilman John KLEIN
is mentioned as the possible chair
man of the police, and several names
have been suggested for the water
committee. Councilman John ]. Ken
ney will be the majority leader and
likely will again head the sewer COM
mittee.
Mayor-elect Farnham Yardiey will
have several appointments, but the
men he chooses will have to be con-
firmed by the Democratic majority.
His selection include an appointee
as tax assessor to succeed Francis j.
Byrne: sinking fund commissioners,
playground commissioners and the
police committee members, He viii

missioner to succeed Mrs. George

After an examination by the public
buildings committee, headed by Coun-
Gilman Thomas Drummond, and
Building Inspector Herman Freye. OF
the Town Hall, 1t WAS decided the old
structure is sufficiently strong to hold
any crowd that may At in the council
chamber on New Years Day.
This may indicate a decision to hold
the organization session there. as
usual, although 1t was suggested the
auditorium of the High School might
be more serviceable, owing to the big
crowd which is expected to appear
when the present administration lie
changed.

SAYS FAULKNER CROP
 IS BEST IN SOUTH
GINNERS' ASSOCIATION EXECU- TIVE ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
 COUNTY'S PROSPECT.

That Faulkner county has the best prospects for cotton crop he has seen in his travels over the entire cotton belt is the statement of Weigh Cockrum of Memphis, president of the Ginners Association, who is here to- day attending district meeting of the ginners of Faulkner and Conway counties. Your county made bum- per crop last year, but l believe it will exceed that by at least 10 per cent this year." MT. Cockrum said this morning. He stated that crop conditions are badly spotted over the belt, but he has seen no such prospects for a perfect crop as he has found in this county.
 The district giners meeting was convened at 1 o'clock this afternoon, with s. w. Shock of Enola district president, presiding Among the ob- jects of the organization are the pur- chase of bagging and ties direct from the factory, the carrying of mutual fire insurance and the abolition of the ginning agents of the census bureau with payment to the ginners for send ing in their reports direct to the bureau.

COTTON WORMS
 NOT DESTRUCTIVE

The specimens of cotton worms found on the Alfred Bedford place, near Mt. Vernon and forwarded to County Demonstrator John w. Par Her, who in turn forwarded them to State Entomologist G. G. Becker at Fayetteville, are none other than the cotton square borer, according to MT. Becker, and are not destructive to cot ton. Mr. Becker's reply to MT. Par Her is as follows:
 "The worm which you sent me sometime ago transformed to the pupa stage before it got to me, and am now waiting for the adult insect to emerge. l wish to say in advance, however, that am quite certain that the insect in question is none other than the cotton square borer (Ura- notes mellinus).
 This insect is usually very severely infested with parasites and does not, as a rule, get to be serious on this ac- count The insect may become trou- blesome at times, but l am of the opinion that it will soon be controlled by the parasites. Unless it's injury and damage is prolonged unduly l would not, therefore, undertake any special treatment for it.
 "Where the attack is severe and it becomes necessary to do something, the only practical means of controll- ing it would be to dust the cotton with arsenate of lead powder. In little circular which I recently got out on the Cotton Army Worm, you will see directions for dusting this poison
 Hoping that this is the informa ton which you desire.
 Very truly yours,
