OUACH|TA COLLEGE
 LAUNCH CAMPAIGN
FIVE HUNDRED STUDENTS IS MINIMUM SET FOR THE
 1915-1916 TERM.
WILL COVER ENTIRE STATE
Several Additions Will Be Made to the Faculty and Some Changes
 in the Courses.
Arkadelphia.-

ArkaQelpnla.-
 The authorities of Ouachita College have launched a summer campaign with the purpose of enlarging the student body to a point never before attained. Five hundred students is the minimum set for the 1915-16 term, which will be the thirtieth year of the schools operation.
 President s. Y. Jameson. Dean H. l.. McAllister and Business Manager Peter Cellars have planned the solicit ing system which will cover the en- tire State of Arkansas and North Louisiana Dean McAllister has al- ready made one route of his work, and, returning, says that conditions for his school were never more fa- vorable and than he finds it much easier to interest prospective students and their parents than he did four years ago over the same route. Sev- eral things are responsible for this favorable outlook. One is the large classes that Ouachita is consistently turning out from year to year. An other is the successes gained by the college during the year just past, the debating teams making a clean sweep of the Tigers through their football schedule last autumn and the almost as brilliant record of the baseball team this spring. It has been the op- ject of the college authorities to keep the several of the schools in tercollegiate activities we'll balanced, not let undue effort and emphasis be placed in athletics, to the neglect of the weighder and more important functions of the literary department.
 The college begins the next year less impeded by financial burdens than it has any previous term. Sixty thousand dollars was raised through a systematic campaign during the past year and used to cancel obligations to that amount which the college had contracted in past year. The financial end of the school has been given due attention, so that it is now on a more self-supporting basis and offers a stronger attraction to men who con. template giving large sums toward m endowment A large part of the work of lifting the defict was accomplished by Dr. Jameson. Several additions will be made to the faculty and some changes in the courses will likely be arranged for the ensuing year.

That the Arkansas acreage of rice this year will be about 100000 acres and the yield about 45.6 bushels per acre, is the estimate of w. c. Sand. CTS of the Southern Rice Growers As sociation. Writing to John H. Page, and agriculture, from Stuttgart, MT. Sanders says:
 Replying to your recent favor we are glad to give you the information requested to the best of our ability; however, would ask you to compare our statements with others you may receive.
 We are placing the Arkansas acre age of rice at 100000.
 Estimated yield for Arkansas, based on last years crop for rice, 45.6 bushels per acre. This is over what Arkansas will average year in and year out by fully five bushels per acre-last year was exceptional.
 We would estimate the amount as invested in the rice business in Ar kansas, including machinery, at five million dollars; in other words, 1t costs $50 per acre to fully equip raw land-well, machinery, livestock, etc
 There are six mills in Arkansas proper, and we count the Memphis, Tenn, mill as Arkansas territory. Each of the six mills will average 800 barrels a day of 12 hours.
 The average cost of production of rice in Arkansas is $25 per acre, from blowing the ground to delivery at mills. They get from $40 to s60 per acre. Like in all other business some rice farmers are becoming i'n- mensely rich and some are going broke each year; it depends upon the man behind the gun as to profits.
