FORTY-EICHT TONS PAPER
 FOR SENATE SPEECHES

Washington, Feb. 5.-Democratic members of the House Ways and Means Committee today suggested the removal of all tariff duties on Canadian print paper, but no action was taken. Some members said such action would not increase the supply for this country, or lower prices be- cause existing contracts were at prices within the duty free clause.
 At the request of Representative Young, tRep.) North Dakota, the committee decided to ask the state department to send a representative before it Wednesday to discuss the Canadian paper situation. Young complained that an embargo by the Canadian government was curtailing supplies.
 While newspaper publishers were searching everywhere for white paper the government used AS tons in print ing speeches made in the senate, Sen ator Shoot (Rep.,) Utah, declared.
 'lt is time to find out if the Senate wants to save paper" he said.

WHO OWNS THE AIR?

Great fortunes may sometime be made by stalking out lucky air claims in deserted regions of the world and then growing rich on air tolls when aerial trade route change suddenly, according to the Home Sector, the ex-soldiers' magazine, conducted by the former editorial council of The Stars and Stripes.
 George w. Sutton, Jr., in speaking of air law says: "There is practical ly no common law precedent as a foundation for an air code. Roman law considered the air public pos session, and it's use free to all as a matter of common right. Justinian compared the air to the high seas, and we all know what happened to the we'll known German party who tried to manage the ocean personally.
 Nevertheless, farmer near Kan sas City has just started a law suit to prevent the use of his air, claim ing that he owns not only the surface of his land but also down to the cen ter of the earth and up to the top of space, wherever that may be. It is easy to foresee that new race of rrofiteers might develop-persons who would buy up desert regions for song and grow rich on air tolls.
 "On the other hand, recent Ger man laws, with surprising broad mindedness, and with the fullest de- velopment of aviation in mind, state that the owner of land cannot forbid trespass at such height or depth as does not directly concern him. The Swiss code holds to the same princi pal"

cotton per acre for the state of Ar kansas for the period from 1909 to 1918 was 182 fb. Cotton production must be maintained and increased" !" says Mir. Hodson. ''The demand is in creasing annually while the produc- ton has decreased since 1914. With a more diversified agricultural sys- tenn that will necessarily follow with interests in the state it will be inn possible to increase the cotton pro- duction by increasing the acreage. It necessarily follows then that for an increased production the yield per acre must receive attention.
 Soil fertility and good seed are the chief factors in determining the good yield The first of these be- cause of it's importance has already received a good share of attention and must continue to be kept con stantly in mind. Good seed should receive a proper share of attention in order to secure the maximum re- turns regardless of the condition of the soil. The term good seed as ap- piled here is understood to mean seed of a standard variety, of good quality and selected for productive ness and type.
 Several communities in this state have already organized for the pur- pose of eliminating poor or unnamed and mixed varieties of cotton from the 1920 crop. There is no manner by which the amount of inferior seed that are planted each year can be determined but conservative esti- mate places the amount of unselect- ed seed planted to be about 75 per cent. This 75 per cent is devoted to cotton that will not produce the max imum amount on the soil where it is planted.
 Every community should agree on variety of cotton to be planted exclusively on given type of soil and that variety should be grown continuously. In this manner that

tered, together with all livestock products such as dairy products, wool poultry and eggs, is the neat little sum of $105, ,047,000.
 Some who are in the habit of quoting statistics claim Arkansas as primarily fruit and vegetable grow ing state, the statistics gathered by the state department show that the total value of all fruit, vegetable and nut crops produced during the year 1919 is only $45,S69. This crop was also marketed on very high market As a matter of fact, the value of dairy products alone is greater than the total value of these crops.
 "These statistics show that Arkan- sas farmers are needing the advice of the several agencies. in the state that are urging them to diversity their system of farming by raising more feed and food, and living at home. With the prospects of Arkansas soon being tick free, things look very bright for the live stock man. King Cotton, watch your step. Your crown may fall.'

variety will adapt itself to the local conditions and by careful selections and precautions to prevent the seed from becoming mixed it will be pos sible to maintain highly productive variety and develop a standard for a community that will be of value in the local market.
 "The particular variety is not so important as is the maintenance of good variety provided the variety chosen is adapted to the needs of the local market as we'll as the soil of the community. Practically every cot ton growing community in the state produces from three to ten different sorts of cotton. Many of these so- called varieties are so badly mixed that it would be impossible to iden- .tify them. Triumph is by far the most extensively grown variety with Rowden second, followed by Half and Half, Cleveland, and Express grown in smaller quantities.
 "The advantages to be gained from community production of a standard variety are:
 "I. The variety can be kept for the reason that other varieties will not be planted near or ginned with the chosen variety.
 "2. A good variety grown will be- come adapted to it's local environment so that with judicious seed selection it will become more productive in- stead of running out as is -efrone- ously but popularly supposed to be the case when variety is grown for several years.
 "3. A community will have'a very valuable economic asset in. building up reputation for producing uni formly standard staple.
 "A. Every member of the corAmp- nity will profit by growing a uni- form staple for the reason that it will be impossible to realize the full market value of the cotton"

GROW MORE COTTON
 ON PRESENT ACREAGE

Every cotton producing eommuni- ty should organize for mutual bene- fits so that the highest profits may be realized from cotton acreage is the advice of Edgar A. Hodson, as- sistant agronomist in the University of Arkansas. Such community or ganization can choose standard va sively under given soil conditions, secure good seed of the chosen va riety from reliable source, have all the cotton from which seed is to be used for planting ginned at the same gin to avoid mixing and in the fol- lowing years to plant seed of no oth- CT variety except those grown in the community.
