Farmers Are Becoming More Inter.
 ested in Can.alOupe Growing.

Farmers of near Wilton are becOm- ing more and more interested in the growing of cantaolupes on a conner cial basis for the coming season. There will be a meeting of farmers, business men and others in Wilton on Thursday afternoon at 2:3O for the purpose of finding out how many will prepare for the growing of cantaloup- es for the distant markets in 1917. Every farmer of that locality is urged to be present at this meeting and as sist in this problem.
 J. Hollister Full of the K. c. S.. Railway Agricultural Department, will assist the county agent, H. J. Tyson, and the farmers in getting ths truck growers association perfected. There will be several problems to take up at this date regarding growing packing shipping and systematic mar keting of this special crop. Winthrop and Allene are arranging to grow an increased acreage of cantalOupes for the coming season, and place on the markets. Remember the day and date and come for the purpose of assisting in this work.

SHIP 8 CARS CANTALOUPEESS ESS
Y lnthrop Shipped Eight Cars Canta-
 loupes-Many Express Shipments.

Growers of Winthrop, 15 miles north of here, this year With the sea son just closed have shipped eight sol id cars of cantaloupes and numerous express shipments, the amount of which would be hard to estimate While the growers had no organiza ton and had made no market arrange. ments up to the time of shipment the returns have been very good. It is es- tmated that from $4,000 to 5000 were received from the crop. The growers expect to have a more perfect organi- zation next year and will increase the acreage from 100 to 300 acres The cars sold for from $169 to $460 each Il is said that the cantaloupes were of better grade than the Horatio mel ons, and the season lasted longer on account of the soil not being so drou- thy. The Winthrop growers have gained much valuable experience this year that will enable them to improve the packing and marketing next year They can easily become enc of the leading growing sections of the state, thus developing new source of wealth.

ESTlMAlE
 MADE ON COTTON
Estimates of Lite River Cotton Crop 14,5OO Bales-HOw the Little
 River News Get the Figures.

Whenever two men meet within the bounds of Little River county the loc al cotton crop is mentioned before the conclusion of the conversation. At this critical time during the making of the crop it is the subject of para mount interest. It is our main staple crop and at present the basis of our prosperity or lack of it. We have all read the government estimate of the entire crop for the United States some 12,9OO,0OO bales. We know that this is short crop generally. We know that the price as fluctuating now between IA and 15 cents. What is the Little River crop going to be? That is where We live You want to know, and we want to know The News has undertaken to get the most reliable estimate possible.
 How Estimate Was Made.
 In reaching an estimate we selected the names of seven men, all in close touch With the cotton and SIuQentS Ol the local conditions for many years. Some of them are large planters, some are buyers, all interested in the cot ton crop in a big way. We selected only conservative men, men of good judgment, neither extreme op- timists nor pessimists. We approach ed these men separately and asked for his estimate based on present condi- tionS only. These men are located at AshGOWn and Foreman, who have received reports from all over the county. and some of whom have seen the crops in every section of the coun- ty. Their estimates are as follows:

TELEPHONE KICK
 IS INVESTIGATED
District Manager Stout Was Here Mon. day Looking into Local Situ.
 atiOn and Complaints.

In response to a petition contain ing names of numerous telephone us- CTS, which was circulated several days ago, containing complaints on the lo- cal system, c. Stout, district com mercial manager of the Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone Company, was here Monday meeting the patrons of the company and discussing tlo situation. The petitioners had com plained more particularly of the physical condition of the system, and had asked that it be removed
 Mir. Stout stated that it was the in tention of the company to build a new plant here next year, but that the prices of all materials new were pro- hibitive. He had figures to show materials that go into telephone system had advanced, and were now from 40 to 50 per cent higher than normal. He wanted to ask the pat rcns to be as patient as possible until these abnormal conditions should cease to exist. He stated that it was their intention to keep up repairs in a way that would insure good service and keep the present plant in shapc.
 It will be recalled that an official or employee, made what was under stood to be an authorized statement three years ago, that the company was at that time ready to install complete new system here. Nothing has come of it since that time. Many of the patrons had grown impatient, and were interested more in a better service than in good promises. The signers of the petition took the ground that the system was to blame rather than the local employees. There have been numerous complaints, and it Is to be hoped that the causes will be TO- moved, and the only way to remove them is that the complaints be made known and then immediately rectifed.

Present Conditions.

After having during the past two weeks talked with farmers from every section of the county it seems that the crop conditions over the county are about as follows: The cotton seems to have come to stand so tar as put ting new forms is concerned. The hill crops are putting on new forms better than the bottoms except where the bCl) weevil is doing most damage. The bottom crop is throwing off what
 is being put on. The most general op- inion is that practically nothing will be added to the crop as it stands at present These facts were taken into consideration in the above estimates.
