PENALTY IS REMOVED
 ON OVERSIZE BALES

The Lesser-Goldman Cotton Com pany of Little Rock has sent out a circular to their local agents advis- ing them that the steamship lines have agreed not to assess a penalty of $l bale for bales of cotton above the standard size of 27 by 54 inches. The understanding between the ex- porters and the steamship lines, how ever, was that during the following season, 1917-18, oversize bales for ex- port would be prohibited entirely. On this account cotton factors are urging all ginners who have not already done so to reduce their press boxes to the standard dimensions. With a few pieces of lumber carpenter can do the work in a very few hours,' the circular says. "The standard press box measures 27 by 54 inches inside, and the bales should be tied as closely as possible, to prevent expansion af- ter being released from the box"

y6O SEED A MYTH,
 BUYERS DECLARES

That Faulkner county farmers should not be misled by the rumors of unprecedentedly high prices for cottonseed next fall is the opinion of local dealer who is a close student of market conditions For several weeks there have been reports in cir culation that mills are contracting for the seed to be delivered this fall at prices as high as $50 and $60 per ton.
 The truth is that the tendency of the seed market has been lower rath- CT than higher for the past several weeks said this buyer. Whereas seed could be sold here a month ago for $40 per ton, $36 is about the high est that could be paid on the present market. Anyone who believes that buyers are now contracting for seed at $50 or $G0 per ton for fall delivery can easily undeceive himself by look ing up the official quotations for Oc- tober seed in New York"

More silos are being built in Ar kansas this season than ever before. although even the home made siloe are costing about one third more than they did two years ago. Practically 35 per cent of the value of the crop of corn is ir the stalk if it is utilized. There are thousands of acres of corn in Arkansas where the stalk value is equal to the grain value. Let us util- ize all the value in the crop and then SOW clover or wheat or rye for q cover crop and for green manure, pasture the corn field when advisable and feed silage. keep more cattle and make more barnyard manure.

with the present municipal light plant. The finance committee and the city electrician, with the mayor have been directed by the city council to make an investigation of the proba- ble cost of increasing the plant 90 that commercial lighting may be done and to determine accurately at what cost the light may be produced.
 At present the rate is 10 cent per kilowatt hour, and the city electrician says that it may be produced and sold at profit at five cents. Memphis is also discussing municipal plant. There the rate is 10 cents Private companies have agreed to furnish cur rent at 6 l2 cents, but an expert em- ployed to make survey of the situa- tion declares that it can be furnished at five cents and then make a profit over the expenses, interest and depre- citation.
 At present all the commercial light ing in Little Rock is done by the street railway company. Two years ago competing company entered the field, having secured franchise from the city, and later sold out to the street railway company, which again has monopoly of the business.
 The city already has nucleus for an adequate plant and does all of its own street lighting. It carries . total of 750 street arc lights and has a capacity of 1000.
