COST OF WEATHER EXPOSURE
 ESTIMATED AT $55 A BALE

A bale of cotton placed out in the open flat on the ground with no covering. was damaged to the extent of S70 pounds at the end of eight months, according to results from an experiment. conducted by the Blu reau of Markets, United States Department of Agriculture.
 Another bale, placed on edge, with no further attention, lost 167 pounds. A bale placed on edge and turned over once a week lost no pounds. A bale placed on tim bers and covered with tarpaulin lost but l4 pounds. During this same period bale placed in a warehouse lost only one pound.
 The damage in one season alone from weather damage to cotton in the United States has been esti- mated at $70,000 900. In many instances the total cost of ware housing cotton, including insurance IS no greater than the fire insur- anee rate alone on exposed cotton.

The Acting GOUernOr
 OUerrULes BrOuqh
McFerrin Appoints Phillips County Treasurer While Chief Is
 Absent.

Little Rock, Dec. 12.-Against the expressed wishes of Gov. Brough, Acting Governor Ben E. McFerrin yesterday appointed Phillip c. liar roway of Helena as county treasurer of Phillips county to fill the unex- pired term of Amos Jarman, resign ed.
 Governor Brough said over long, distance telphone from Memphis last night he had written asking Mir. McFerrin to make no appointments in his absence, and had left similar instructions with his private secre- tary. The governor said that while he had not expected MT. lannon's resignation, the serious illness of the treasurer had made a vacancy seem possible, and that he strong ly desired, should such a vacancy oc- cur, to fill it himself.
 "I have no criticism to make of the appointee," the governor said, "but this was a matter to which l desired most specially to give my attention. I did not specifically mention a probable vacancy in Phil lips in my letter to Mir McFerrin, saying generally that I desired to attend all to all appointments, but this case was particularly set out in conversation with my private sec retary just before I left the state"
 Calls at Office
 MT. McFerrin, who had not been in Little Rock during the governors present absence, appeared in the governors office yesterday morning a m hat T,. Ix,. ] and that he intended ap. pointing MT. Harroway to fill the vacancy There was some belief that he came to Little Rock espec- tally to make the appointment.
 After a sharp colloquy, Virgil G. Jordan, private secretary to the governor, refused to fill out the commission or take any part in the affair, and Mir. McFerin attended to the clercial detail without assist ance. MT. Jordan said that when Governor Brough left the state week ago he left a verbal request to be communicated to Mir. Meier | rin if necessary that no action be | taken should a vacancy occur in Philips county. When Mir. Meier | rin appeared in the governors of | flee yesterday and announced his intention of making the appoint nent, MT. Jordan protested, inform ng MT. McFerrin of the governors request. John L. Garter, state in- leritance tax attorney and former secretary to the governor, who was present when Governor Brough re- Iuested that no Phillips county ap- oointment be made, also told MT. McFerrin that the governor was ,ery insistent in his request, and hat he had asked as a personal fa- 'or that any vacancies be left unfill- d until his return.

COLUMBIA COUNTY BANKERS
 COOPERATE WITH BANKERS

Another instance of where bank CTS and business men are eager to cooperate with the county farm agents and the Agricultural Exten- sion Division of Arkansas in a big way is shown by a report of Harry | F. Kapp, district farm agent of Southwest Arkansas.
 The Farmers Bank and Trust Company of Magnolia this fall pro- posed a plan to county agent, c. A. Overstreet of Columbia county whereby a they could cooperate with the farmers of the county in inn proving agriculture through the use of fertilizer in increasing soil fer tility, good seed selection, farm ac- counting and records of cost of production.
 The bank has agreed to furnish to each of 20 farmers in Columbia county one ton of fertilizer each year for five years, beginning in that the farmer use the fertilizer on five acres of ground to be selected as near the public road as possible | that they cultivate the ground un- | der the direction of the county agent | using such crops as the county agent and the farmers shall agree upon !; that the farmer follow the instruc- tions of the county agent explicitly, | keeping record of work done by | taems and all expenditures of cul-
 tivation and harvesting; and that the land subject to washing and | erosion that is not now terraced be | terraced.
 !
 The Farmers Bank and Trust 1 Company will furnish the fertilizer free of cost to the farmers who comply with the above conditions.
 If the farmer fails to conform to the plans for the five years he must
 pay for the fertilizer himself. A
 regular legal contract which is bind
 ing to both the banker and the farm
 CT has been made and County Agent
 Overstreet says he has had no diff
 ficulty whatever in securing the
 requisite number of 20 farmers to
 carry out the tests.
 To carry out the plan Mir. Over
 street has prepared complete crop
 plan for the entire period of five
 years. The fertilizer will be used
 in various quantities on the five
 acres of each farmer in order to
 secure a complete test. Thegrade 1 of the fertilizer to be used will be
 determined by the county agent. I The 20 farmers to carry out the i plans have been selected by town-
 ships that the entire county will
 be covered. MT. Kapp, district farm
 agent, feels that this plan for Co
 lumbia county is one of the finest
 examples of cooperation between
 the business men farmers and coun-
 ty agent that has ben brought about l in the southwestern district of the
 state. The main purpose of the plan is to demonstrate what can be
 done in the way of soil improvement,
 proper use of fertilizer, good seed
 selection, farm accounting and se-
 curing statistics of cost of produc-
 ton of farm crops.

came in during the discussion, MT. Jordan said, and after a conference between Davis and McFerrin in the governors private office, MT. Me Perrin came out and asked that the commission be made out. MT. Jor- dan said that he refused, and that Mr. McFerrin then made out the commission himself. Mir. Jordan said that MT. McFerrin had lannon's resignation in his pocket and did not file itsin the governors office.
 Mir. lannon's Request
 Mir. McFerrin said that MT. liar roway's friends had presented MT. lannon's resignation yesterday morning and said that it was Jar mons request that Harroway be ap- pointed his successor.
 "I had promised them to ap- point Harroway before l learned that the governor desired no ap- pointment to be made" Mir. Meier rin said, "and after giving my prom ise I did not feel that l could with draw il"
 Harroway is lannon's brother-in- law, MT. McFerrin said. 'lnas- much as the appoint is only for 20 days l thought that in case of the death of MT. Jarmon, who is very i'll, it would be fair to Mrs. Jar mon to have some friendly person in charge of her husbands affairs"
 Mr. McFerrin said that he had made up his mind to appoint liar roway before his conference with Davis, who, he said, had merely ask ed him who he was going to ap- point.
 Governor Brough was due in Lit tie Rock at 1 80 o'clock yesterday afternoon, but during the morning had called up his office and said that he was being delayed by con ference in which he had been re quested to take part.
 MT. Jar1non was elected to sue. ceed himself in the last general election. Whether he will also re, sign the 1921 term is not known but in that event, Governor Brough will have the power of appointing successor to MT. Harroway, or to call a special election to fill the vacancy.

It is estiated by the Bureau of Markets that the cost of leaving a bale of cotton on the ground and against fire is $4.90. To store a bale of cotton in the warehouse, including insurance against fire dam age and theft and storage charges is only$2.50. One of the efforts of the efforts of the county farm agent is to urge the farmer to store his cotton out of the weather. If a farmer has cotton in the open and knows of no place to store it, the county agent will be glad to assist him in securing some means of storing it out of the weather.
