witness one of the biggest battles in
the country. With Georgetown al

Harvard, the meeting here would
assume national Importance.
The Kentucky Colonels are highly
confident of trimming the big Grim

players, in a letter received here, de-
clares that the veteran Centre eleven

Eastern opponents, though admitting

One thing seems certain. The
Colonels are going to invade the
East with the same confidence that
marked their arrival in Morgan

looked forward to a fairly easy vic

URGES LOVES COTTON ACREAGE
Dean Knapp Urges Lower Cotton
Acreage.

Fayetteville, Nov, 12-(SpeciaD =
To cut down the cotton acreage of Ark
ansas 33 1-3 per cent and to make this
years crop slowly, sticking out for a
good price. was the advice given the Sc
bastian county famers at a meeting
in Fort Smith Saturday by Dean Brad
ford Knapp of the College of agricul-
ture, University of Arkansas.
There is no escaping the fact that
the to1td needs our cotton, said Dem
Knopp. Germany is CRYING fc cot
TN They are wearing PIPER clothes
in that country. But there is no es-
Gaping the fact that the world cannot
buy the cotton it is in desperate need Of
if we grow more of it than we sell wei
be stuck and ii we sell it all now we'll
glut the market and get nothing for the
labor
Dean Knapp asked the farmers not
to sacrifice the price cf their cotton in
order to sell it and he advised them
next year to raise all their own food
and feed, growing cotton only sur
plus crop.
Every family must have it's own
garden" he said. Potatoes must be
raised, syrup poduced, poultry enough
for meat and eggs, milch COWS to pro-
vide butter and milk, hogsfor meat,
corn, oats, forage and hay are all es-
sential"
The decreased cotton acreage should
not mean smaller production according
to Dean Knapp. He said that with
better methods, better seed, and bet
ter marketing, the returns from 66 per
cent of the acreage should be as great
as 100 per cent where such method as
now used. He urged the farmers to sell
their cotton on class rather than as so
many bales.
