INVESTIGATION IN CROPS
NEEDED AS INDICATED BY LOSS

Thousands upon thousands Of dol
lars worth Of valuable grains are
now wasting in the fields Of Lubbock
county farmers. Anyone who has ven
tured out over the farming territory
Of Lubbock county can easily see
field after field with hundreds Of
acres Of fine grains, such as kafiir,
maize and cane. literally wasting for
the want Of time. labor and thrcsh-
ing machines.
1T is grave problem" says Eu-
gene Holt, well known farmer Of the
Southern portion OF the county, and
one Of the trustees of the Union
school. 1--WE can hardly afford to hire
labor. that is, men with teams and
wagons to help in the threshing of
the grain, pay for the threshing and
realize profit on the crop In the first
place, we cannot find help only
among one another and then we are
forced to pay prohibitive wages; for
the simple reason farmers time ut
this time Of the year is very valu-
able" The writer and Mr.. Holt was,
at the time of this conversation, in
sight of field, having apparently
three hundred acres of shocked feed
We were informed that most all of
this field was planted to cane for
seed purposes and that because Of
inadequate help the owner could not
harvest the cane for the market al
the early period and now since the
value of cane had dropped to such
low price that il was hardly pay
ing proposition for the owner to pay
the wages demanded by labor and
the expense of threshing and hauling
10 market.
The writer passed by several fields
of cotton-half picked, that the own
ers had recently run over with stalk
cutters and We're making prepara-
tons to pillow the stalks under and
plant the crop for the coming year
Conditions such as this. where valu-
able products of the soil are turned
under in preparation for another like
yield, is abnormal and cannot be sue
cessfully repeated. "The only solution
now" says ore of our bankers who
is interested in the farming of this
country, sis TO cut these fields two
and three hundred acres with one
man, into two fields of half size and
diversity the planting and intensity
the cultivation and raise a fine crop
and gather all raised and in the
long run receive more for the prod
ucts"
OF course, this is strictly a farm
er's problem and we are sure farm
ers of Lubbock county and the South
Plains have suffered costly expert
ence enough to know about the pre-
carious position they invariably find
themselves in with the coming Of
mid winter and spring. The worst
part of the whole circumstance is
the fact that thousands of acres Of
fine farming land, that ought TO be
in state Of spring cultivation. is be- |
ing held back by reason Of last years
crops still on the ground and when
planting time arrives we will find |
many of these acres untitled, either
that or planted to fast growing crops
which will repeat results of last years
crop.

The Mena weekly star. (Mena, Ark.) 1904-1977, 1920-08-05
POPULATION AND BANK DE-
POSITS 10 YEARS AGO AND NOW

The returns of the 1920 census
show Mena has lost 13 per cent of its
population during the past decade.
OF course this is disappointing to
some degree, but yet it was not un-
expected.
Within year following the 1910
census Mena, through the removal of
the Kansas City Southern division
point, lost between 200 and 1900
citizens, these going to Heavener and
De Queen and other points on the
Kansas City Southern. This was a
severe blow. No city can lost 30 per
cent of its population without feeling
it.
But the shock was overcome, and
for several years Mena has been in
creasing steadily, both in population
and business. She has regained 700
to 1000 of the division loss in popula-
tion, and the combined deposits of
the three local banks have increased
from 1851 ,408.33 on January 81, 1910,
to 81 1,256,757.21 on January 1, 1920,
or nearly $50 per cent.
Mena is a better town today than
it was ten years ago, in spite of that
13 per cent loss.

JAPAN NOT TO

Sent, Toxic States.

Toxic, Aug. 3.-There is no indica-
tion that Japan will refrain from car
rying out military arrangements she
has made in dealing with the prob
lens arising out of conditions in ST.
IBERIA. The government sometime ago
outlined to the world powers it's pol
icy regarding Siberia, and in its forth
coming note to Washington will am
plify its statements. This note, it is
underwood here, will point out the
purely temporary character of the oc-
euoation by Japanese. troops OF points
in the Saghalien district.
Possible misunderstanding abroad
are apprehended because the city of
Nikolaevsk, on the Siberian mainland
will be under control of Japanese mil
itary detachments. Nikolaeysk was
formerly under the jurisdiction of the
Russian maritime province.
In 1914, however, the governor of
the maritime province decreed that
Nikolaevsk should be attached to the
district of Saghalien on Saghalien is
land.
Japanese officials have been care
full to explain that the United States
was within her rights in asking Japan
to define her policy regarding Siberia,
as the two nations sent troops tc
Siberia under an arrangement made
at the suggestion Of the Washington
government

ion that Governor Canta's position
seemed almost invulnerable because
of advantages of terrain. Possible
weakness, they said, might develon
from the fact that the point of attack

Lasting Record Depend Weak Memories
1ybe Newspaper Makes Becomes Lasting Record
wANTED-A REAL GOVERNOR.
To the Editor of the Star;
i. =: Lal1.- =. ,,ool r = 10,

To the Editor OF the star;
Arkansas is badly in need Of real
Governor-she has had mere, figure
heads and incompetents long enough.
The writer has lived in Arkansas
nearN thirty-six years, and during
this long time we have had only four
or five able, conscientious and exper-
fenced statesmen and patriots to serve
in the Chief Executives office-will
mention four that stand out pre-emi-
nentlv as brainy, efficient officers to
thus serve us: s. p. Hughes, w. M.
Fishback, JAS. P. Clarke and G. w.
Donaghey. These patriots command
ed the respect and hearty cooperation
of our Legislatures, and used the veto
to prevent enactment Of vicious and
extravagant laws, and did not later
make public proclamations to undo
such vetoes like nest of our misfit
Governors of the past eight years.
The state is now heavily in debt, some
three or four millions Of dollars, and
going in deeper every day, all because
of mismanagement and extravaganza.
An immediate change is needed, and
now is the time to vote right and get
it.
There are eight or more candidates
before the people for Governor. in the
approaching Democratic primary, all
nice, popular gentlemen in their re-
spective communities, but only one
can secure the nomination, and that
one will be the one who receives the
largest vote. and as it is what is term
ed a blanket primary" votes for the
cast. One of the candidates, Hon.
Smead Powell Of Camden, is said to
be receiving the almost solid support
of the ring politicians at Little Rock
and over the state, which gives him a
big advantage, and unless the people
concentrate upon some one else he is
likely to be nominated, and the pres
ent status of bad government contin-
ued indefinitely so many prominent
citizens believe. 1t is clear that if the
votes are divided up all around, Mr..
Powell will succeed.
Now, in my humble Judgment there
are two able, experienced and compe-
tent men in the race, who stand upon
sound platforms, in favor of retrench-
ment and reform, and promise to use
| their best efforts to have all useless
offices and Commissions abolished, if
nominated and elected Governor
they also will veto all special legisla-
tion in which referendum vote of the
people is left off. These two gentle
men, (candidates) are ex-Congress-
man j. P. Floyd and x-Congressman
T c. McRae. Then by all means let
all patriotic Democrats who want a
change to good government, support
one Of these two gentlemen. If they
do this Arkansas will come to the
front and soon be out of debt, and that
too, without increasing taxation and
the obnoxious special laws wherein
the people are not given a referen-
dun vote, cease.
