To The Merchants and Bankers of Ar-
 kansas

ed trip made last week to .twen- ty Arkansas towns by 100 Little Rock business men, we were in- 1 formed at each town that from to 50 per cent of the cotton acreage would be abandoned on account of the grass. In most districts, the average abandon ment was placed at 20 to 25 per cent. We were informed that most of this abandoned land would not be planted to any oth. CT crop, and tlat the farmers and planters expected to put all or most Of their labor on the cot ton for the rest of the season.
 This Is a most serious condi tion. A large proportion of the farmers of the State have had to buy hay and grain. Some of them began buying as early as last August. Many of these farmers had to buy this feed on credit and will have to pay for it next fall out of the cotton crop from a reduced acreage.
 If they persist in their deter mination to use all their labor on cotton for the rest Of the season, they will have to buy grain and hay for another year. Is 1t safe either for the cotton raisers or for the merchants and bankers to take the chances of paying for two years grain and hay out of one cotton crop made on d rt. duced acreage? Even with the acute shortage of labor, and much of it inefficient, will it not be matter of safety to both cot. ton growers and business men for each farm to raise it's ,wn feed?
 One of the best crops that can be planted late is Spanish pea nuts. Spanish peanuts planted July Il, on an upland farm near Fort Smith, gave a good yield of both hay and nuts. Spanish pea nut hay is one of the best hays for mules, horses and cattle
 In the Year Book of the U. s. Department of Agriculture for 1917. 1t is stated that the hay from a patch of peanuts will practically pay for the Cost of growing the crop On this basis it will pay to plant Spanish pea. nuts for the hay that the tops will make, and the nuts will be the profit.
 If you approve this suggestion we ask that you see each of your farm customers immediately and get those who have land adapted to Spanish peanuts to get seed at once and plant enough to in- sure the hay they need.
 The following Arkansas firms have choice seed for sale and of fer it at cost. The seed was bought on the. recommendation of J. H. Tull. State Marketing Agent. One sack will plant two acres.

For time you weakened from a series of blows rained upon you, but you ral- lied and came back. Your whole life was such wealth of nobility.
 Nat, your flesh is gone to the Lambs. but the remembrance of your comedy. your pathos. your altruism will live with us forever.
 We are grateful to you for the les- sons you have taught us.

DRAFT OF REVENUE | BILL IS COMPLETED; l CONFEREES AGREED
Measure Revised to Raise Six Billions This Year and Four Billions Annually.
 To House Wednesday
By Associated Press


 Washington, February 1.-The
 war revenue bill revised to raise
 about six billion dollars by taxation
 this year and four billion dollars
 annually thereafter, assumed final
 form late today when the Senate
 and House conferees reached n
 complete agreement on the meas
 House Wednesday.
 The conferees already had an. rounced agreements on all tax rate adjustments. and today was devoted to compara lively minor provisions. Among these was the tax on campaign contri. buttons, a Senate provision which the House yesterday voted to reject and then afterward to accept if modified to apply only to future campaigns. The Senate conferees, it was reported, yield ed the amendment and agreed to it's elimination.
 The conference report and final re- draft will be called up in the House Friday with the expectation of it's lap- proval before adjournment. It will go to the Senate Saturday, and Chairman Simmons of the Senate managers, said tonight its passage was certain.
 
 Absence of President Wilson. the con ferees stated, made doubtful the exact date the new tax law would become cf- fective, but would not interfere with treasury plans for collection of the new taxes.
 President Wilson probably will be on the point of sailing when legislative action on the bill is concluded, Sena- tor Simmons said tonight. The en- l.x T., alr here for his approval He then would have 10 days to consider it.
 Agreement by the conferees paves the way for final enactment of the legisla- ton which President Wilson and former Secretary McAdoo asked last May. The final draft, like both House and Sem ate measures, provided that of the gross levy. war excess profits and income taxes shall bear the heaviest burdens.

 Major Morriss, who, on the day the ar mistiee was signed, was commandant of an American prison camp at Riche- lieu, France. where S32 German prisoners, including a major general, were con fined, were arrogant, impudent, con- temptibie' and meanest of men
 .'f want the American government and American people to. know that those birds have made up their minds to come over here" he continued.
 "They stated to me that they could make real money here and evade the taxes in Germany which would have been inevita ble even. if she had not been de- feated They kicked about everything and showed themselves to be real Prus. sians, which is the last word in con tempt Furthermore, they would not ad- init defeat"

 BEL CHAN REFUSAL |. ID MEET GERMANS
Delegates of 2 Nations AL ready at Berne for Open- ing of SOcialistic
 Congress
By Associated pts..

Paris, Febraury 1.--The American
 Federation of Labor delegation,
 headed by Samuel Gompers. decided 's
 tonight to support the Belgian so- # eiafists and trade unionists who re-
 fuse to meet the Germans mt either the sOciaiistic or trade union con- ~
 gresses, which win convene simui-
 tnneo,isly at Berne next week.
 This decision was adhered to through two days session, despite the pro- tests of the British and French trade unionists, who will go to Berne tomor- row.
 The delegates of P nations, includ- ing such national groups of the former Russian empire as the Ukrainians and Esthonians are now at Berne. or on their way there. The four abstentions from both congresses are the Ameri- cans and Belgians, who refuse to barley with their late enemies until peace is signed, and the bolsheviki, with whom the Norwegian trade unionists agree that neither the socialist nor trade union programme Is sufficiently radical, thus taking the opposite viewpoint from that of the Americans and Belgians.
