Authorities on cotton say that between seven and eight million bales of the 1914 crop will be carried over and thrown on the market during the coming sum- mer and fall, and it is predicted that if the 1915 crop amounts to as much as ten million bales, the price of cotton next fall will not be more than six cents, even though the European war be stopped now. The only wise thing for the farmer to do is to reduce the cotton acreage and grow more food crops.

Under what Republican chief magistrate was the cotton indus try so depressed as it is at the present time?" asks the St. Louis Globe Democrat. During Nc Kinley's administration cotton sold as low as four cents pound. Thousands of cotton growers all over the south distinctly remem- Der this, and statistics will show that in the fall of 1898 during the Mckinley administration the price of cotton was lower than at any time since the civil war.

LET'S BUILD THE
 CANNING FACTOR Y

Every farmer and business man in this community should encourage the movement to es- tablish a canning factory in New ark.
 When properly conducted, such an enterprise is a paying invest ment for any community. It not only makes profit for it's own CTS but furnishes a market, at profitable prices, for many things that can be grown to advantage by the farmer of this community.
 Just few days ago we noticed report from a small concern of this kind located at BerryvIlle, which shows the remarkable suc- cess possible with small canning plants under proper management. The plant cost about $5, GOO and its net profits for the past year were $2, 282.
 The plant is owned principally by the farmers of that communi- ty. and in addition to realizing a handsome profit from their in vestment, they have a good mar ket for their products.
 Thousands of dollars are being sent out of Arkansas every year for canned goods, including veg etables of all kinds, and yet there is not a state in the union in which they can be produced to better advantage than right here in Arkansas.
 Let's stop these leaks and build up our own town and com munity, and add to our owr prosperity, instead of sending our money away to be used ir the development of other com munities.

West Virginia testifes that after having tried statewide prohibition for six months it finds that prohibition helps trade and lessens crime. It is declar- ed that from the standpoint of business prosperity and civic wei fare, the best thing West Virginia ever did was to declare for state wide prohibition. This is the testimony of several leading bankers and other business men all over the state, according to a statement just given out from the state capital at Charleston.

FAMOUS PIKE COUNTY

Dear Editor: If you will give me space, 1 will send you a dollar on subscription and a few lines. It has bee about a year since we left Newark and moved to Pike county. We like this county fine, although it is 25 years behind the times. But 1t will be a good county when developed. This is very remarkable county. It has the only diamond mine in the United States; has the largest peach orchard in the world; has the largest lumber plant in the state; has the finest hardwood forest in the state, and could fur nish lumber for the world (for a while at least.)
 We also have asphalt mines here that furnish paving material for the cities. We find that this is the birth place of the man that wrote "Three years in Arkansas." So he wrote his lessons from the every day scenes of his boyh0od in Pike county. Wishing the Journal and its readers a prosperous year for l 1915. W. H. JONES.

DEMOCRATIC SHIP
BILL STILL DRAGS
IN SENATE DEBATE

Washington, Jan. 26.-The admin
istration ship purchase bill again
before the Senate to-day for consider
alton as unfinished business with re-
newed activity on the part of the
Democratic leaders for early dispo-
sition of the measure. The Republi-
cas-, however, apparently are prepar-
ed to carry on their fighting indefin-
itely.
In their desire to speed up" the
passage of the shipping bill, the Dem
ocrats have proposed to the Repub-
icans that debate be concluded i'll 10
or Is days but the latter would not
agree to it.
To the charge of Democrats that
the Republicans are conducting 'thl-
ibuster'' against the bill. the latter
make denial saying that the bill must
be fully discussed" The Repub1i-
cans insist that they can continue
their oratorica1 attacks on the meas
ure for the five and a half weeks
which remain of the present session.
When consideration of the shipping
bill was begun in. the Senate to-day
Republican Senators were ready to
take the place of Senator Root who
concluded an attack on the measure
yesterday in the course of which he
expressed regret that party politics
had entered into the consideration of
the measure. Senator Williams, in
reply, charged that it was the Re-
pub1icans who injected craftsmanship

PHILIPPINES CAN
MAINTAIN FORTY
MILLION PEOPLE
President of Kansas Agricul-
turaI College So States in
Report to Government.

Washington, Jan. 26.@The Philip
pines are capable OF producing enough
food and wealth to support comfort
ably 10000, 900, according to President
Waters, of the Kansas State Agricul-
tural College, who has investigated
agricultural conditions and posstbiH-
ties of the islands, a copy of whose
report was received at the bureau OF
insular affairs here today.
AS compared with Japan, he says
the Philippine farmer gets only one
fifth as much per acre; that while the
latter produces 200, 000, 600 pesos worth
of wealth annually on the seven mil
lion acres in cultivation, the Japanese
farmers produce two billion pesos
worth of wealth on their fourteen mil
lion acres.
The Philippines would be the lead
ing cane sugar producing country in
the world, Cuba excepted, if the plant
esr raised as much per acre do the
plantersin Java, says President Wa
ters. Furthermore, they would be the
third largest rice exporting country,
if the Philippine growers obtained as
high acre yields as do those of Japan
or. the United States Again, the is
lands could support a larger pork and
poultry industry than either Canada
. or Australia If the yield of corn per
acre equa11ed that of the United States
or Japan.
While the people of the Philippines
pay the farmers of Australia and In
dia about. $500, 600 pesos annually for
meat and work stock, one may ride
for days through grass UP to the sad
DIE skirts, says President Waters,
without seeing a herd of cattle or
horses.
He declares that q study of the bus
mess of the islands reveals many
wastes and cites the fact that last
year nine million pounds of raw sugar
were sold at four centavos a pound,
