GETS WET COTTON
 LAND INTO SHAPE
MT Harper's Methods Are Worthy of Study, Says MT. COttrell,
 of Farming Bureau.

Little Rock, May 28.-Farmers who are having trouble With wet land are urged by H, M. Cottrell, agriculturist of the Arkansas Profitable Farming Commerce to visit the plantation of E. F. Harper, located on the Pine Bluff road, nine miles south of Little Rock to observe how successfully Mir liar per has handled this difficult problem Mir. Harper in the past has had re- markable success with both cotton and corn because of the fact that he always employs the most up-to-date methods and is constantly trying to improve his system of farming.
 MT Harper's entire plantation consists of bottom land ranging from sandy loam to the heaviest black buckshot,' says MT. Cottrell. AS a result of the recent rains, his heaviest land became regular lake after the cotton had come up. MT, Harper went to work with characteristic energy He l dug ditch half mile long through ! the lowest parts of the flooded land. This ditch emptied into a drainage ditch on the plantation Then with a double shovel he cut deep furrow be- tween each of the rows of cotton This took the moisture out from around the roots of the cotton and let the air get in around the cotton plants. In a cou- pie of days or so, he entered the fields with two-horse cultivators with eight small shovels to each cultiva- tor These enabled him to cultivate a row of cotton each time across the field. This work pulverized the soil over the entire surface of the field. It let air into the soil and sweetened up the ground, As. a re- suit the cotton plants never stopped growing. Choppers followed the cul- tivators and took out what little grass was left Also they thinned the cotton.
 MT. Harper has 450 acres of cotton and 125 acres of corn. Every row of both cotton and corn is on level ground. MT. Harper says he has found that he cannot drain the soil and get air into the ground around the roots when the soil is bedded up as is done by most cotton growers.
 "On plantations adjoining that of Mr. Harper, there are hundreds of acres of exactly the same kind of soil and which the cotton already is stunted, Most of this cotton is bed ded and has been scraped,"

CORN PROGRESSING WELL,
 cCTTOM APPROVING SOME
Crops of All Kinds are Advancing in The Southern States Now; Cot
 Is Very Late.

Little Rock, May 27-(SpeciaD - Moderate temperatures prevailed in the cotton belt except rather cold in the more eastern sections. and general rainy weather except in localities in northwestern and southeastern DOT tions where excessive rains occurred. Cotton made better progress generally east of the Mississippi and conditions to the westward were favorable eX- cept in the more northwestern portions of the belt where the rainfall was too heavy. Stands are irregular in the Carolines, but the plants are vigorous, although small. The condition is poor in Florida and Georgia, but progress was good in the latter state. The con- dltion is poor to satisfactory in Ala
 bama and poor in Mississippi, where considerable replanting was necessary 1 Warmer and less rain in Arkanssa af- fected growth favorably, and progress
 was very good; but continued wet soil in Oklahoma was unfavorable, and pro-
 gress was poor to satisfactory, The
 week was favorable in Texas and the progress and condition were satisfac-
 tory, though the crop is late. Corn truck, pastures, and meadows made satisfactory advance in the Southern States.

ROAD CASE DECISION IS
 IN FAVOR OF HICKS
Road District No. 6 EnjOined from An nexing Territory in Hicks C0m-
 munity-Made Permanent.

In a decision by Chancellor Jas. D. Shaver Wednesday With reference to the annexation of certain lands in the Hicks community by Road Improve ment District No. 6, the injunction sought by the Hicks was made perma- nent. District No. 6 comprises the district that expects to build high way from Ashdown by way of Wilton to Mills Ferry on Little River, the commissioners being Joel Mills, P. s. Trustworthy and N D. Cooper. In a special act passed by the last special session of the legislature some 5000 or more acres were included from the Hicks neighborhood, proper legal mo- tice was made and later of the assess ment. The Hicks people protested on the grounds that they would not be benefited unless a road was built through that community. The com missioners found that they would be unable to get funds to build both roads, after which they were enjoined from making the annexation.
 In his decision Judge Shaver held that the people involved had right to rule in such matters, and said that he did not know what the supreme court would hold and didn't care.
 The Hicks acreage is taken from No. 6 with the understanding that District No, take them over Sheuld not No. 8 be able to take them over then they will remain in No. G.
 Since the Hicks community has not enough acreage to float bonds and make the improvement themselves a move has been set on foot and legal steps taken to have them annexed to Road District No. 8, the commissioners of which they have acreage sufficient with this additional acreage to build the road desired by the Hicks people. The Hicks people want roads: and are willing to pay for them, but regard the annexation with No. 6 as unfortu- nate for them since this district lacked the necessary acreage to give them a road, Hicks is unfortunately situated in wedge between two districts and with small acreage of their own. They wanted to go with the district that could do the best for them
