COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE ESTIMATES TOTAL WORTH OF
 ALL GRAIN CROPS $t41 1000, ,ooo.
COTTON ACREAGE REDUCED
MT. Page Has Urged Growing of Cow peas. Because of the Benefit De- rived By Land and Value of
 Crop For Forage.
Little Rock.

Little R0Ck- The value of Arkansas corn crop this year will exceed the value of its cotton crop by $5,000,0O0, according 10 figures compiled by John H. Page, commissioner of agriculture, which show that the States principal agri- cultural and horticultural crops this year far surpass in value similar crops of any previous year. The chief agri- cultural and horticultural crops of the State this year show total valua- tion of $141, 1,466,OO0, according to MT Page.
 There has been more development of farm lands by opening up new farms and adding new land to farms already esta ,lished by Arkansas peo- pie than by people coming into the State," said MT. Page. Arkansas farmers have made wonderful prog ress in developing their farms.
 There was a reduction of 15 per cent in cotton acreage. which was the figure placed on it last spring. There was a marked increase in acreage de voted to corn and hay crops, and three out of every four farmers raised cow peas"
 MT. Page has urged the growing of cowpeas because of the benefit derived by the land and the value of the crop for forage purposes.
 According to MT. Page, Arkansas cotton crop this year is valued at $40, 000,000, while the corn crop is worth $45 5,0OO,OOO.

MA century ago Lieut.. Zebulon E A Montgomery Pike discovered
 the mountain which now bears his name, and, accompanied by his little band, made de termined effort to reach it's summit. It cost him ten days of marching to reach it's base, and after laborious ascent which brought him only to the crest of one of the nearby mountains, he was forced to give up the attempt, predicting in his diary that no human would ever scale it's rocky heights Thirteen years later, however, Dr. Ed win James with portion of the ex- ploration party under Mai. s. H. Long, found an easier approach from the eastern side and after hazardous climb reached the summit on July If, l 1919.
 Then came the United States gov ernment engineers who constructed a winding trail from Manitou to the top of the great mountain and built there an experimental station that study might be made of weather conditions three miles above sea level This led to the building of carriage road from Cascade in Ute pass to the top of the mountain; and almost simul- taneously there came the cog railroad. It was built in 1890, making the ascent in nine miles from it's Manitou depot. This is one of the most famous of the worlds mountain railroads.
 And now in 1915 comes the supreme conquest of the mighty peak. The con structive ability of the American en- gineer has won another triumph, for since September 1, automobiles have been travelling on the Worlds High est Highway to point within five miles of the pinnacle of the mountain;

The building of this highway was so stupendous an undertaking and in- volved so large financial outlay that it was certain it could not be under taken in many a year unless by pri- vate capital. And so the government gave it's consent and it's cooperation, reserving the right to purchase the road at any time at it's actual cost. end imposing strict regulations with
