PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN BAD SHAPE" SAYS PRESIDENT
 FUTRALL

"The people of Arkansas do not real ize their state system of public edu- cation is threatened with disruption" :" according to President Futrall of the University of Arkansas. Every public school in the state from the country district to the State Univer- sity, has already had it's efficiency im- paired by inability to meet increased costs. And the worst Is still to come.
 "The difficulty the schools and col faculties a sufficient number of sci entifcally trained men. is shown in a paper recently published by Dr. Allen of Washington. Dr. Aliens investi- gations show that in the last six years, out of .1700 men employed in scientific positions in the agricultural experiment stations of the country, 400 have left their positions for oth- CT openings"
 Referring to the present condi- tion of schools in the state President Futrall said that it was high time the state took action not only to improve but to equalize educational advan- tages.
 Eighty per cent of the children of the state have not the opportunity to attend high school. Tens of thou sands can get only three or four months in an out of date, one room school"
 The only possible remedy seen by President Futrall is the amending of the constitution to permit the levying of larger state tax for school pur- poses, a larger local district tax and county tax

DEAN KNAPP URGES LOWER
 COTTON ACREAGE

To cut down the cotton acreage of Arkansas 33 1-3 per cent and to mar ket this years crop slowly, sticking out for a good price, was the advice given the Sebastian county farmers at a meeting in Fort Smith Saturday by Dean Bradford Knapp of the Col lege of Agriculture, University of Ar kansas.
 "There is no escaping the fact that the world needs our cotton,' said he. Germany is crying for cotton. They are wearing paper clothes in the coun- try. But there is no escaping the fact that the world cannot buy the cotton it is in desperate need of. If we grow more of it than we sell we'll be stuck and if we sell it all now we'll glut the market and get nothing for our la bor"
 Dean Knapp asked the farmers not to sacrifice the price of their cotton in order to sell it and he advised them next year to raise all their own food and feed, growing cotton only as a surplus crop.
 "Every family must have it's own garden" he said. Potatoes must be raised, syrup produced poultry enough for meat and eggs, milch cows to provide butter and milk, hogs for meat, corn, oats, forage, and hay are all essential"
 The decreased cotton acreage should not mean smaller production accord- ing to Dean Knapp. He said that with better methods, better seed and bet ter marketing, the returns from 66 per cent of the acreage should be as great as 100 per cent where such methods are not used. He urged the farmers to sell their cotton on class ho1ac

Messrs. c. F. Patterson and F. D. Vennum, owners of the fine Prairie Longue farm south of town, who had been here several days looking after their large rice interests, returned to their home in Milford, Illinois Tues day. These gentlemen have one of the finest farms in this section of the country About a year and half ago they began improving the place and have built it up to its present condition in that time. They raised an excellent rice crop this season which yielded heavy. The rice is of the very finest quality and will go on the market at the top price. The own CTS have spent considerable money in building this fine farm and are de- serving the success they are making in the culture of rice. We understand that they will put portion of their land in cotton next season, as they have lot of surlus land that has not been put in condition for rice farm ing and is considered the very best of cotton land.

FAIR ATTENDANCE
LARGE EVERY WHERE
MORE PEOPLE HAVE SEEN THE
EXHIBITS OVER STATE THAN
.... EVER BEFORE.

Reports coming from division, coun-
ty and community fairs from one end
of Tennessee to the other with few
exceptions show that the attendance
at these fairs this year has broken all
previous records.
Two of the big fairs held in the
state during the past week were at
Knoxville and at Memphis and both
were successful beyond expectations,
attendance records being smashed and
the quality OF products and livestock
exhibited being far better than ever
before. The quality of livestock Of
all kinds seen at the various fairs
this year show vast Improvement
over previous years. This Indicates
that Tennessee breeders realize the
folly Of raising Scrub stock instead Of
the higher grade, as the returns from
the latter are more satisfactory and
remunerative. A feature of the agri-
cultural displays Is the fact that most
of the exhibits seen at the fairs now
are by farmers organizations repre-
senting certain community, or a
county as a whole. It shows that the
farmers are finding that they can
accomplish greater and better results
by cooperating than they can single
handed and their exhibit at the fairs
demonstrates that they are fighting
their problems in their communities
together. This spirit will bring a
better day for them and for every
citizen Of the state.
mo single agency is such a potent
instructor Of agriculture as the fair,
and the bigger the fair the greater
its value as an educational force"

the University Of Tennessee. 80,

Inc speaker was introduced by Hon
Raleigh Selkirk Hopkins, the repub-
llcan leader of the county, who paid
MS respects to the, oligarchies at
Nashville and at Washington, and who
declared that it was his happy mission
to present to the people of this coun.
ty the next governor of Tennessee.
There was liberal applause when
Col. Taylor rose to speak, and his
thrusts at the Roberts tax law" were
evidently enjoyed by the majority of
the auditors. Especially did the can

Louthan, for regardless of politics
Louthan is not the most popular man
in the state with the people of this
county.
Al the very outset of his speech Col.
Taylor launched into the Roberts tax
law as he termed it. He handled the
work OF the tax machine" as he des
ignated ii, without gloves. He went
after it hammer and tongs. He de-
ciared that wherever the tax rate had
been fixed it had been found that the
tax burden had been shifted from cor
porate, personal and city property to
the farmers. He quoted statistics in
Lauderdale, Putnam and other coun.
ties TO show that while under the new
law the owners of city and personal
and corporate property would pay less
taxes this year than last, that the own
ers of farm property would pay thous.
ands OF dollars in increased taxes. He
also declared that in Washington
