Gtems of community interest furnished by students of Zent school
 For the past three weeks the farmers around here have been busy ploughing.
 The rice farmers here are clearing more land and expect larger and better crops this year.
 Some of the children here have organized a Sunbeam Society. whice meets every Sunday from two until three o'clock. We are always glad to have new mem- bers and visitors. The Get Busy Committee of the Sunbeam Society. are busy with their plans for Easter.
 On Saturday night, April 1st, Box Supper was given at the school house. A large crowd was present and every one declared they had a good time. The proceeds will go to buy pictures for the the dining room. We wish to thank the people of the community for their loyal support.
 Several new buildings have been built in and around Zent this year, and several new families have moved into our community. This looks good to us.
 The Murphy & Legg Land Go. have almost completed their new commissary building.

THE COTTON SITUATION
Monroe County Farmers Arranging to Assist in Raising 8 Cent
 Cotton

From nearly every section of Monroe county comes the report that there will be an increase in the cotton acreage this year.
 A Cypress Ridge farmer re- ported to the ARGUS man Mon- day that there would be several hundred acres more of cotton grown in that neighborhood this year.
 The rice ranches are nearly all arranging to diversity their crop this season and strange as it may seem, nearly all of them, are planning to raise some cotton.
 Judging from reports secured from all sources there will be fully 20 per cent increase of cotton acreage in Monroe county this year, and so the report comes from nearly every section of the South. This, too in the face of all hard work done to hold the acreage down and not withstanding the slump in cotton prices. the unfavorable signs of the worlds war, etc, and not withstanding too the official statement of the U. s. Govt expert, Clarence Ousley, that there was on the 1st day of this year 12,0O3, 739 bales of cotton which in itself was nearly a million bales more than the entire crop of last year III, 160, : 900 bales. In addition to this MT. Ousley states that the for eign countries growing cotton this year particularly Egypt and India will greatly increase their crops of cotton and that

w. L. Ferguson Writes of His Trip to the West
 and Conditions There

Clifton, Arizona, Mar. 22, 1916 The ARGUS:
 Since writing the last Roe notes we have travelled vest ward about 1900 miles. We left Roe on Wednesday the 15 inst, travelled day and night, with several hours stop at Fort Worth and Ell Paso and arrived here Saturday eveing about 4 o'clock.
 There was much of interest on the way for one who had not travelled over the road. There was an increased change in the vegetation, the surface. the temperature and the people. We were very much interested at Fort Worth at the Fat Stock Show that we found time to visit. We thought we were somewhat acquainted with the geography of Texas, but we must acknowl- edge its "bigness" Twas beyond our expectation. In fact, it seems that this western country is suf- ficiently large to make a world like ours. But we found it very dry, the western part of Texas and New Mexico not having had any rain since last September.
 We passed through El Paso Saturday morning and there be- gan to see crowds of Mexicans. We had thought of running over into Old Mexico while at Fl Pasc but our stop was in the night and we left there very early ir the morning. We saw camps o1 soldiers near Ell Paso and one o1 two other place.
 Clifton is a little mining city, having two smelling plants near | it, one of which is a two million dollar plant. We visited one o1 them today which we found t( | be very interesting. Man. i, seems, is trying to compete with the Lord in power ane might. The machinery, boilers, engines and general equipment for smelling the copper ore, we would class among the most gigantic of mans artifices. Wt

stopped and surveyed CUT

stopped and surveyed CUT roundings and stood in awe at the grandeur. In one direction was the river, beyond which was a part of the city, a railroad, big oil tanks, big smoke stacks from distant smelter and big rock engorged mountains. Behind us was the shelter we had just left with its noise, its boiling red metal, its workmen, each at his particular job, and the great piles of material that is used in the work at hand; in another direction were other parts of the little city-one inhabited by the filthy Mexican in his little dingy house surrounded by high rock fences. another a group of nea houses surrounded by beautiful groves of green trees, for spring is with us here. The San Fran cisco is a branch of the Gila and runs through the city, the valley being bordered as far as the eye can see with rocky mountains.
 We are stopping with our son (Sam) and his little family, the daughter (Lucille) being a mem- Der of it. We find everything we have to buy here high, very high; a pencil tablet costs ten cents and an ink tablet fifteen cents, and every thing else in proportion. But we must close. Kindest regards to ARGUS mak- CTS and readers.

 It has been raining showers here for several days and is quite cool this morning, having rained more last night.

these conditions must necessarily force the price down for our next crop.
 Here it is and no getting away from it for the Government knows when it says as above, that we now have on hand of unused cotton the entire crop of last year and a million bales ad- ditional from the year before and with other cotton growing countries greatly increasing their cotton acreage.
 If our farmers and land own CTS are going to increase their acreage, then they should under stand and plan ahead to raise it on a 6 to 8 ct. per pound basis and then they will not be sur prised and disappointed when they go to market it next fall.
 The only way that Monroe county farmers can keep sweet" and smile while selling cheap cotton next fall is to be sure tbat he has a bunch of hogs, some colts, chickens, calves, peas, potatoes, sorghum, as a reserve.

Among the Farmers and
 Rice Ranch Owners

My hat is off to o. l.. Walker, one of our clever farmers just west of town. MT. Walker had the misfortune to have his farm l go under both of the recent high waters, was one of the heaviest loosers and yet with 1t all 1t IS said he was one of the few farmers who had the nerve to vote FOR rock roads on Satur- day last. Mir. Walker has one of the prettiest little farms in this entire. county. He knew good and well that with the success of the proposed rock road measure he would see his property double in valuation within 5 years just as has always been the case in every part of the country where rock roads are built.
 Walter Dickson, the efficient manager of the Hunter Land < Rice Ranch, drove down in his new auto Saturday to vote FOR roads. It was his ranch that cleared more than SI4,00 on last years crop.
 o. H. Cooper, the Monroe farmer and mill man, was a Brinkley visitor Saturday to vote FOR rock roads. Cooper is one of those clever, progress sive community builders who always ''comes across" with his cash and personal efforts to build I'D and develope a community. x When it came to making a fight TOT a matter of morals in Brink ley, a few years ago, 1 saw him come up with his $100 gift as Sauick as flash and then work like a Turk to help. Whenever there is anything for community betterment Cooper is always there with the goods"
 Henry Smith, the Wheatley Rice Mill Manager and Bank President, who is also a farmer and the owner of several tracts of lend in Monroe county, drove down in the Dickson township country Saturday in order to vote FOR roads. Henry is al- EsNa for progress and has no dol It spent more money and nar,i work in order to get a bass able road from Wheatley to {rinkley than any other one &an. If the road is ever built
