ARE
 GETTING IN LINE
AMERICAN COTTON ASSOCIATION MAKING PROGRESS IN THE ORGANIZATION OF AL
 LIED INTERESTS.

Df. George L. Sands, State cam paign manager of the ArkansaA Di- vision of the American Cotton Asso- citation, reports interesting meetings held rduring the last week at Paris, RussellvilIe, Conway, Clarksyille and elsewhere in the state.
 'sThe farmers of Arkansas are get ting together on the plans outlined by the Cotton Association in a most enthusiastic manner said Dr. Sands. At first there seemed to be some hesitancy because it was a new prop osition, but when it is demonstrated to them that the Association is a great nationwide movement in behalf of the producer of cotton and those closely allied to him in a business way, they rally promptly to the stan dard of this new declaration of agri- cultural independence.
 "The Association is not an imprac tical dream. but is method by which many important reforms can be brought about in the growing and marketing of our staple product.
 "It is not, and cannot be denied, that the American Cotton Association, even in it's short existence of twelve months, has saved for the growers many cents per pound in the sale of their cotton, aggregating hundreds of millions of dollars to the wealth of the entire South, which would other wise have been lost. And yet, in the face of these facts, the question is often asked by a Southern business man or farmer, Why should dues be paid to the American Cotton Associ- ation, no matter how small per indi- vidual, and what does the Association do with the money so contributed? ?p The answer comes, clear and ringing, to both queries, and is emphasized in the fact of the market prices main. tained for spot cotton under the in- fluence and untiring work of the forces of the American Cotton Asso- citation.
 Does not every thinking man in the South know that the loyal coop erating and financial support of a great organization like the American Cotton Association, by it's bankers, merchants and farmers of the South will always and under all conditions hold spot prices or cotton materially higher than if no such organization of forces existed? Has not the fal- lacy of individualism in the South kept the farmers in agricultural slav- cry for fifty years? It is a we'll es- tablished fact that the cotton grow CTS are now, and have been for many years in the past, the poorest paid workers in the United States.'
 will be weighed and the quality and market value of each determined.

WILL MAKE TEST
 OF FERTILIZERS
TRACTS OF LAND SELECTED ON VALENTINE, ALEXANDER, DoRTcH AND STEEL
 PLACES.

It has been decided by the South ern Soil Improvement Association to conduct fertilizer tests on cotton for five years on 50 acres of land divided between plantations owned by eight planters of Scott and Galloway. J. c. Pridmore and Loy E. Rast, field and crop specialists of that association. were here the first three days of the week and selected the land on each farm and laid out the plans. The farms to be used are as follows: :: Seven acres on Mark Valentines place, seven acres from c. N. Alex ander, nine acres from Robert Dortch, six acres from Steele Dortch, five acres from Pink Dorteh, six acres from Arthur Alexander, five acres from Conway Scott, and five acres from Arthur Campbell, total of 50 acres.
 Mr. Pridmore and Mr. Rast will visit these farms at least once a month to see that the work is carried on according to their plans. They will be assisted by Young Foster, Jr., of Hope, and E. E. Newhouse and Dr. H. C. Tinney of Little Rock, all fer tilizer experts.
 This is one of the most important agricultural experiments ever made in Arkansas" said H. NJ. Cottren, agriculturist of the Arkansas Profit able Farming Bureau of the Little Rock Board of Commerce, in discuss ing the plans as Mr. Pridmore has outlined them. Tt means that an ex- pertinent in cotton growing will be made on farms having the rich delta land found in more than 12,000,000 acres in Arkansas, and when these soil experts discover the proper method of cotton cultivation that will increase production on these farms that knowledge can be applied to 100000 acres in the state. This class of land is not now bringing more than half bale of cotton to the. acre without fertilizer. By the use of commercial fertilizer poor sec tions are bringing Q bale of cotton and the rich delta lands are bringing two bales to the acre. This expert ment is also important because it is being divided up among several farms. If hailstorm hits one plantation the whole experiment. will not be de- stroyed, or if floods catch another others will still be left"
 According to the contract made by the Southern Soil Improvement Asso- ciation with the eight planters men toned, the planters agree to follow the plans and directions of the asso- ciation for five years in the methods Of preparing the ground, fertilizing and cultivation. The cotton seed and lint from each method of fertilizing

 tional Farm Loan Association.
 The National Farm Loan System, which has proven so great a benefac- tion to the farmers of the United States, is threatened by the selfish incursion of a hurtful monopoly by the organization of joint stock land banks There are no fewer than twenty-seven of these Institutions doing business i'll the country at the expense of the farmer, and enjoying some advantages over the Federal Land Banks provided by the original system, of which Herbert Myrick was the originator.
 The system of the joint stock land bank is recognized by experts to be uneconomic, unsocial and unneces- sary There are bills pending in congress, the passage of which will rectify this growing evil by repeal ing the features of the original bill, which permit their organization.
 The capital of the joint stock bank is owned by private investors and they may loan money in any amount to one person, whether a farmer or not, for any purpose whatever, and the money need not be applied to agricultural uses. The farmer who borrows from joint stock bank pays 6 per cent and -has no share in the earnings. The big profits are solely for the benefit of the private stock holder, who gets from 10 to 20 peI cent.
 The system has been denounced by Senator Nelson of Minnesota as "a national scandal Mr. Myrick as serts that "every joint stock bank is is stab at the heart of the purely cooperative, entirely mutual Fedora Farm Loan System
 As originally intended and applied the Federal Land Banks may loan money only to persons who operate the farm on which the loan is desired The money can be used only to pur chase land for agriculture, to buy livestock, equipment and fertilizer, tc erect buildings and improvements on farm lands, or to liquidate mortgages and other indebtedness on lands for agricultural uses. Each Federal land bank serves the farmers of it's entire district with small loans or large.
 "All profits belong to the farmer borrowers, who soon will own all the stock of the respective federal land banks, making same mutually co operative. At present, the farmer who joins national farm loan associa tion, and through it, borrows from a federal land bank, pays only 51a per cent interest. Already net earnings for some of these mutuals are suf

for attorneys for the state will now take the same evidence before the commissioner and ruling will be issued there in keeping with that of the Federal court.
 After an agreed statement of facts had been filed in court, which caused a wrangle of three or four days, evi- denee was introduced to determine whether or not the new label was misleading. Practically every whole sale grocer in Little Rock was placed on the witness stand and all testified it was their belief that the label on the cheaper article of merchandise was such that the casual customer would never notice the difference and that it would be purchased under the assumption that the old Dr. Price Cream of Tartar Baking Powder was being sold A number of prominent Little Rock women who have used this baking powder, or the old for muIa, for many years also testified that they had purchased the new article without knowing a change had been made.
 The gist of Judge Triebers ruling follows:
 "The findings made by the commits sioner, if warranted by the evidence justify his conclusion of law, that the phosphate baking powder offered to the trade in this state by the plain tiffs is deceptive and misleading to consumers. His findings of fact were as follows:
 The label on Dr. Prices Cream (Tartar) Baking Powder reads as fol- lows: 'Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder The label on Dr. Prices Cream (Phosphate) Baking Powder reads as follows: 'Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder
 The cans are the same size, the weight the same, the color of the la bels the same, the lettering the same size, the general arrangement of the l lettering the same and the raised let ] ters on the top of each can are the same except the word Cream is placed in quotation marks on the phosphate can. The general appear ance of each can is similar Stand lard for 60 years is found on each can of Dr. Prices Cream Making Powder (tartar) and Makers for 60 years is found on each can of Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder (phos- phate). The design or device used on each can of baking powder in ques- tion is the same size and very much alike.
 ssBut there is not particle of evi- dence to show that the cans of bak- ing powder offered for sale by the plaintiff contained only the words he mentions. On the front of the label of each can there appears in addition to the words he mentions, in fairly large sized letters, but much smaller than the words 'Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder the words, "A Pure Phosphate Powder while the labels on the cans which he speaks of as cream of tartar cans have the words perfectly made On the labels on the back the cream of tartar cans there is printed what the ingredients of the baking powder are and that shows that cream of tartar is used, while on the phosphate' can it shows that phosphate is one of the ingredi- ents and no cream of tartar is men toned. There is, therefore, no evi- dence whatever to warrant his find ing that can such as he describes in his findings are used. The only dis tinction between the labels on the two

BAKING POWDER
 PURITY ACCEPTED
FEDERAL COURT ISSUES RE- STAINING ORDER AGAINST ENFORCEMENT OF THE
 FERGUSON ORDER.

A restraining order was issued in the United States District Court Tues day afternoon enjoining the prescott ing attorneys and every other officer of the, State of Arkansas from insti- tuting prosecutions of any person, firm or corporation selling or offer ing for sale Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder, pending the appeal asked by the Royal Baking Powder Company. The appeal is to be perfected within 50 days to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals of the Eighth Cir cult. The final decree entered in the case of the Royal Baking Powder Company against George ". Emerson, as prosecuting attorney, and others, perpetually enjoins and restraints all prosecuting attorneys and every other official of Arkansas, his or their agents or servants, from procuring in dictments or instituting proceedings of any character whatsoever or prose cutting the Royal Baking Powder Com pany, or any person, firm or corpora. tion, for dealing in or selling Dr Prices Cream Baking Powder, under the certificate issued by Jim G. Fer guson as Commissioner of Mines Manufactures and Agriculture, on Jan uary 24, 1920. An appeal was granted and the complainant filed bond fol $500 to insure the payment of the costs of the appeal. It was also order ed that the parties to the suit pay the costs incurred by each. The pur ity of the baking powder is not ques toned in the suit.
 For ten days attorneys for the Roya Baking Powder Company, some ot them men of national repute, and at torneys for the State, argued techni calities in the Federal court in Little Rock, to determine whether or not the prosecuting attorneys of the state would be permitted to prosecute the Royal company for misbranding it's product, sold in the state under the label of ''Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder" Judge Jacob Trieber ren dered an opinion Monday in which he declined to enjoin the prosecutors from bringing action against the Royal com pany, which permits them to make investigations on their own hook The decision shows considerable hair splitting on the part of attorneys, Judge Trieber ruling that the Commits sioner of Agriculture of Arkansas did not have before him sufficient evi- dence to warrant his ruling against the label, and for that reason his ruling was null and void, so far as prosecutions under it were concerned. But Judge Trieber had before him considerable additional evidence, and he declared that it was evident that the company had misbranded the product, and that if the prosecuting attorneys desired to conduct investiga- tions and institute prosecution, that was within their province. Thus the attorneys for the baking powder com pany scored on getting the order of Commissioner Jim Ferguson set aside, but they lost out on the general ruling,
