DEAN KNAPP URGES
 LESS COTTON ACREAGE

Fayettville, Nov. 10-To cut down the cotton acreage of Arkansas 33 1-3 per cent and to market this year S crop slowly, sticking out for good price, was the advice given the Sebas- tian county farmers at meeting in Fort Smith by Dean Bradford Knapp of the College of Agriculture, Univer- sity of Arkansas.
 "There is no escaping the fact that the world needs our cotton" said Dean Knapp. Germany is crying for cotton. They are wearing. paper clothes in that country 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 labor.'
 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 pro- vide butter and milk, hogs for meat corn, oats, forage, and hay are all es sential."
 The decreased cotton should not mean smaller production according to Dean Knapp. He said that with better methods, better seed and better 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 farmers to sell their cotton in class rather than as so many bales.

He will recom- mend that a small millage tax be lev jed, for the purpose of making neces- sary improvements in the building and grounds, including an auditorium of at least 6,000 seating capacity, which may be used for state meetings of all kinds. The building would be remodeled and separate rooms set apart for each individual organization, where it's relics and archieves might be kept. Governor Brough says that architecturally the old building is as beautiful as Mt. Vernon or Arlington and that sentiments cling about it that it will make it one of the favor ite shrines for patriotic citizens of the state.
