 and business men, in attendance, and any from any part of the state, to bring in suggestions for success of this campaign. 'tIt is the cooperation of everyone in the state which will make this great work succeed" said MT. Firmin. "I cant be the general unless I can get you people to aid me and so my success, the success of the campaign, depends on the work of you men and the work of the farmers and business men throughout the state"
 Haley Bennett For Rotation.
 Hayley M Bennett, manager of the Lesser Goldman Cotton Company, is a firm believer in the rotation of crops and that Arkansas farmers should feed themselves. He has given endorse ment to the work of the Profitable Farm Campaigns planned for the state
 While I do not believe that the in position to raise perishable crops to any great extent, he should by all means raise foodstuff for themselves" said MT. Bennett. "Only by doing this can the farmer of the South raise cot ton at profit, and it is admitted that of the South.
 "One of the most important factors. it seems to me, is the rotation of crops A maximum cotton crop can be obtained only from a system of TO- tation, from intensive farming and fer tilization. One of the great troubles with the Arkansas farmer is that he puts too large an acreage in cotton | If he would concentrate on few acres he would produce much more cotton at less cost.
 "The present high price of cotton will be a menace to the South, in my opinion. It will mean that farmers 1 will jump into the cotton crop again next year determined to raise more cotton and will not stop to figure the cost of bigger crop, but will look, all the time, to the price that they | I l Southern farmer would pay more at tention to the growth of better grade Of cotton, more to an acre, and grow twice the cotton, he would find that he would be more prosperous.
 But take, for example, the high price of cotton this year One bale of cotton this year will mean a great deal more to the farmer of Arkansas than one bale year ago. For this year the farmer will have to buy feed for which he will pay high price. Tn fact, everything that the farmer will buy will cost him more, and with the high cost of living advancing, the bale of cotton may bring more money, but will not bring as big profit, or no larger, than a bale year ago which 1 sold for 10 and 12 cents.
 "The South can produce all the cot. ton that is needed in the world if it will study farm methods, use fertilizer. intensive methods and produce twice as much to the acre. The South now raises about half the world crop. and with the present high prices, anyone who raises cotton, no matter how much the cost, will make money. But if the South would raise twice the cot ton it is now raising, which I believe is possible, it could undersell all other cotton growers and make much larger profit The South should be on such an economic basis it could raise cotton to sell at 10 cents pound and make money instead of having to hget the highest price to bring prosper ity to the country That is the req son that I believe that the present high price is a menace to the South. for it will cause the farmer to be taken away from the campaign for better and safer farming"
