COUNTY CARVINGS
 BIGGEST SINCE 1916
l3,386 BALES 10 NOV. 1
Cotton Crop of Faulkner for 1920 Will Exceed Last Years and May be
 Largest Since 1916.

Glnnings of cotton from the crop of 1920 in Faulkner county prior to Ne vembcr 1 totaled 1886 bales, the largest since 1916, according to fig ures furnished the Log Cabin Demo- crat by Census Agent w R. Me Henry. The ginnings to that date compare with 1855 bales to the same date last year and to November of preceding years as follows: 1918, s,653 bales; 1917, 1O,807 bales; 1916, 17,975 bales; 1915, 10,709 bales; 1914, l5,370 bales; 1913, 13,417 bales; 1912, 14,404 bales.
 Ginnings during the period from October IS to November l this year were 3,766 bales, the largest for the same period of any year since 1915. During this period in preceding years ginnings were as follows: 1919, 852 bales; 1918, 1,117 bales; 1917, 1892 bales; 1916, 2,584 bales; 1915, 4,444 bales; 1914, 3,944 bales; 1913, 2,095 bales.
 While the present gathering season has unquestionably enjoyed the most favorable weather conditions of any for number of years, the ginnings to November l indicate the county's crop will exceed that of last year, which was 16 553 bales, and may run as high or higher than that of 1917, which was 19391 bales. From No vember 1 to the end of the ginning sea son the records show a wide varia- tion in ginnings in this county, the smallest being 9 817 bales of the 1916 crop and the largest being 1889 bales of the 1913 crop. If no more than the smallest number of bales on record remained to be ginned on No vcmber 1 this year, the total would exceed 17,000 bales. It is somewhat difficult to estimate the unginned DOT tion of Faulkner's crop this year. Weather conditions have been unusu- ally favorable for gathering, but there has been a scarcity of labor for picking and the constantly falling price of the staple has caused all the farmers to gather the crop with their own labor and with as little extra eX pense as possible On this account it is probable that the percentage gin ned to November is not far from l the average. If so, the total gnned for Faulkner county will be some where around 19,000 bales.

sheep.Raisinq Old Industry.

Sheep raising is perhaps the oldest
Of all industries, for it was practiced
even before agriculture. Wool is a
product of cultivation or domestica-
ton, for there are no wild animals
which closely resemble the w0ol-bear-
ing sheep, Floyd w. Parsons, in the
Saturday Evening Post, says that with
the discovery that cloth could be made
from wool came an effort to improve
the fleece by selection and breeding.
The early Romans were most success
full in this pursuit, and their endeav-
ors along this line resulted in develop
ing fleece Of great fineness. After the
conquest of the Iberian peninsula,
Roman sheep were introduced into
Spain, where they so greatly improved
the native flocks that even during
Roman supremacy Spanish wool led
the worlds markets, a prestige held for
many centuries.
