WARSAW IN HANDS
 OF THE GERMANS
RUSSIANS EVhCUATE AFTER STUBBORN DEFENSE OF THIRD
 LARGEST CITY IN EMPIRE.

London.-The Germans are in pos session of Warsaw, capital of Poland and the third largest city in the Rus sian empire Bavarian troops en. tered the city, having taken success. lively the Blonie lines and the outer and inner fortresses of the city, the Russians fighting only rear guard ac- ,tions to allow their main army to es- cape.
 While to the Bavarians. command ed by Prince Leopold, has fallen the honor of taking over Warsaw in the name of the German emperor and his consort, who are expected to make state entry within a few days, the real eonquerors are the troops fight ing under Field Marshal von linden burg along the Narew river to the northeast; to the Austro-Germans, who crossed the Vistula south of the city, and to the armies of the Aus trian Archduke Joseph Ferdinand and Field Marshal von Maekensen, which are advancing northward between the Vistula and Bug rivers.
 The fall of Warsaw marks the cul- imitation of the greatest sustained movement of the European war. Three times previously Teutonic armies have been halted at it's gates. Apparently impregnable in the face of direct at tack. it was compelled to capitulate before the sweep of vast movement which threatened to encircle the capi- tai and with it the Russian armies en- gagged in the campaign of which it was the storm center. From the north, northwest, west, south and southwest the AustroGerman forces have been pressing upon the Polish capital in their combined drive to force the Rus sians out of Poland and if possible to break their offensive power for an in- definite period

Sidney G. Kahn of Little Rock, vice president of a big banking concern, in an interview says that the farmers of Arkansas are in good condition. MT. Kahn recently visited different sec tions of the state
 Farmers this year are learning to raise their crops more economically" said MT. Kahn. and as 6 rule they are paying off their debts where ordi- narily they would be mourning more debts. By next spring large number of them wifi be completely iH the clear. and Arkansas will begin to experiences an unprecedented era of prosperity.
 The reduction in cotton acreage this year has been conservatively es~ timated at 10 per eeat or greater. In the place of this cotton. farmers are raising food products and feed for their stock. so that they are not forced to exchange cotton for these thinga As result, a good many f2rmers now have money iii the bank whereas un. der the one-crop system they would be still cultivating their cotton, which would already be heavily mortgaged. The best farmers this year are raising enough food and feed crops to feed themselves and their cattle. and their cotton can be saved and used for ready money.

 TON AND GROWTH.
STATE HAS 100000 ACRES
Crop Unusually Early and Condition Decidedly Above AVerase-Texas and Louisiana Are Below
 Normal.

The Southern Rice Growers As sociation. after careful and thor ough canvas of the growing crop of rice, has made the following esti- mates:
 The acreage devoted to rice in this country for 1915 totals 979, GOO acres. and is divided by states as follows: Louisiana, 399,000 acres; Texas, 255.- 900; Arkansas, 100000; California, B. GOO, and Atlantic coast states, 10,000
 About 7S per cent of the rice grown in Texas is irrigated from water sup piled by large canal companies, while practically all the irrigation in Arkan. sas is from deep wells.
 The crop is reported as late both in Texas and Louisiana, and the old lands are grassy.
 The crop conditions in beth Louis jana and Texas arc reported below normal, and while these states will show an increase in acreage. it is not thought that they will show an in crease in the total production
 A three weeks trip through the Ar. kansas rice country just completed by MT. Eignus, general manager of the Southern Rice Growers Association with headquarters at Beaumont, Tex as, shows the Arkansas crop unusual ly early and the condition decidedly above the average
