 This practice is now common in certain sections of he state, and everywhere the directors have invest ed in a truck, the district has saved in time, and the patrons have been saved expense.

COTTON MOVING
 FASTER THAN 1915
ESTIMATED VALUE OF ARkAN- SAS CROP IS $12o,oo0,0oo, AND MOST OF THE CROP HAS
 BEEN PICKED OUT.
This has been the most remarkable cotton season in the history of Arkan-

This has been the most remarkable cotton season in the history of Arkan- sas.
 Notwithstanding the ravages of the boil weevil and the severe drouth, the state has made more than an average crop, and will receive for it twice as much as the crop usually brings. This was done despite the weevil, and the drouth was really an aid, since it checked the weevil which was just ready to migrate.
 Last season there were 964.000 bales raised in the state, and the last gin ners' report shows a total of S13,71S bales ginned up to date. Careful esti- mates are that the crop will exceed one million bales, exclusive of linters.
 It is estimated that the crop will yield total of $120,00O,0O0 for the state, in cotton and seed, about twice the normal return from the crop. There are several elements entering into this situation The farmers have abandoned the half-and-half, the Simp- kins. and other short staples, and have been planting the best long staple seed that could be found. The benefit of seed-selection and long staple has been clearly demonstrated. The average of long staple on the market is higher than ever before. II has required 200 or 300 pounds more of long staple to produce bale than of the short staple.
 While middling cotton has advanced to 20 cents, there have been sales of long staple at 35 cents pound. Nine teen bales sold at that figure in Pine Bluff last week, and an offer or 54 cents was refused in Little Rock.
 Cotton seed has been selling at $40 to s6o a ton, compared with the usual price of SIP to $15. When farmer can get $2OO for bale of cotton and the seed, the prosperity of the state is assured.
 The crop was gotten out much earlier this year tran usual, on ae- count of the desire of the farmers to take advantage of the high prices, and the killing frost which came the mid- de of October, about month earlier than usual. The frost stopped all late cotton in the making, although the weevil had done that already ln the bottom lands. The crop has been rushed to the market as rapidly as II could be ginned, and there has been great congestion of the congresses throughout the state. Even linters' a by-product that ordinarily sells for three-fourths of cent, is bringing cents.
 The failure of the crop east or the Mississippi has also been factor. II has been estimated that in Arkansas fields where the weevil was most prev alent. and where a yield of nve eights of a bale was secured, had ell matic conditions similar to those across the Mississippi prevailed, Il would have taken ten acres for bale
 In Little Rock there has been re ceiyed since August a total of 13S,- 914 bales, against 64,639 bales last year. and there has been shipped dur ing the same time 91,742. agalns' 41,042.

THE SWEET POTATO HOUSE
 PAYS.

No man who grows any considera- ble quantity of sweet potatoes should attempt to get along without a stor age house. An inexpensive house large enough to take care of the pota- toes on the place will more than pay for itself in the potatoes it keeps from rotting. The house might very well be made large enough to care for the potatoes of the tenant as well as those of the landowner.
