Levi Willis, share-cropper on the Donaghey plantation, southwest of Conway, made 15 500-pound bales of cotton on IA acres of land, according to former Governor Donaghey, who was here yesterday afternoon on his return from a trip to the farm. Will lis, who has always heretofore had hard time making "both ends meet" now has all his debts paid and $500 in the bank, Governor Donaghey said. A rccord-breaking crop was made on the Donaghey place this year The former governor has spent much labor and money in retaining the land, which was formerly known as Tupelo swamp. It is now probably the most fertile tract in the county.

COUNTIES GINNING l5,39I TO OCT. IS
 10000 BALES INDICATED
Record Report Raises Estimates of Total Yield of Cotton in
 Faulkner County.

Estimates of the yield of cotton in Faulkner county will have to be raised considerably and predictions that the crop would be less than that of last year will be brushed aside, by the detailed government re- port showing l5,391 bales, the larg- est number on record, ginned in the county prior to October IS. This compares with 6,265 bales to October Is last year, 11,326 to the same date which was 7,S49 bales, also came near
 in 1913.
 The ginnings during the period from September 25 to October IS, which was 7.849 bales, also came near setting new record, although it was slightly exceeded during the same period in 1913, when 1889 bales were ginned. Last year the ginning dur ing this period was 5,54l bales and in 1914 it was 7,667 bales.
 Looking to the future, it is easy to predict that the 1916 yield in this county will exceed that of 1915, which was 17,906 bales, as the next report, for the period ending today, Novem- Der l, will doubtless bring the gin nings beyond last years figures. During the October 18-November period in the three preceding years the number of bales ginned in Faulk- ner county has been as follows: 1915, 4 ,444 bales; 1914, 4,044 bales; 1913, 2,O95. The period just closed will without doubt show at least an aver age ginning, which will carry the county's 1916 total practically to the 19,000-mark. But as to how much more will be ginned after November 1, it is more difficult to hazard a guess. Certainly it will be a great deal less than in any previous sea- son. An early maturity and perfect weather will bring gathering to a close much earlier than ever before. In fact, it has already been ended and stock have been turned into many fields in the county.
 It would probably be fair to es- innate that the ginning will be as nearly completed on November l this year as it usually is at the close of the ginning period ending December l3, or six weeks later. Using this as a basis, it will be found that in three preceding years an average of l,598 bales have been ginned from December 13 to the close of the sea- son. Adding this to the l9,0OO bales almost certain to be reached on the November l report, we would have a total crop of around 20,500. Allow ing 500 bales for overestimate, the Log Cabin Democrat would say that 10000 bales is conservative predic- tion of the 1916 cotton crop in Faulk ner county.
 In any event the cotton crop of Faulkner county will bring it's pro- ducers at least one million dollars more this season than any previous crop. The average price of bale of cotton this season will not likely fall much below $90. This means at least one and three quarter million dollars for the line. Twenty thousand bales of cotton means more than l0,- 900 tons of seed. At an average price of say $45 to $47 per ton, this means practically half a million more, or $2,25O,OOO for the entire crop. It is not believed that any previous crop of lint and seed in this county has ever had total value of more than S1 ,250,000.
