 Boil Weevil Out of Business
(By c. F. Marvin, Reporter)


 Little Rock, July 15.-(SpeciaD - Temperatures were high the first of the week, moderate the remainder, the mean for the deek being about 1 de- gree above normal. Light to rather heavy rains occurred in most portions of the State, but the soil is very dry in some localities, especially in the northeastern counties.
 The temperatures were very favor able for cotton, checking boil weevil and causing it to put on squares; but weevil are quite numerous in many places. some fields being practically ruined. In most counties cotton is fair to very good. It was too dry for corn in some localities where the crop was injured. but in most places 1t made very good progress. More com plaints of trough were received from the northeastern counties than else where the crop being injured in Inde- pendence county and some other local ities for lack Of rain at the critical period Elsewhere the, crop is very good to excellent.

Little Rock, July 15.-(SpeciaD-A special meeting of the State Highway Commission has been called for next Monday for the purpose of re-allotting state and federal aid roads.

ARKANSAS IS LEADING OIL
 STATE IT NOW APPEARS
1t Appears That Standard Oil Com. pany Trying to Ruin Market
 For Arkansas Crude.
(BY CLIO HARPER)

Special to the News.
 Little Rock, July 15.-At time when it was evident that Arkansas was to become the leading oil state of the country. the repressive influences of gigantic monopolies began to be felt. Plainly speaking, it appears that the Standard Oil Company is throttling, or at least securing control of, the ofl situation throughout the country. Last fall when crude oil was selling at $2.75 to $3.50 per barrel, the small compan- ies and independent producers were doing we'll and the future appeared roseatte. Then the price of crude be- gan to drop, until it has reached what must be the lowest price, being quoted in some of the fields as low as 30 cents or 40 cents per barrel. The statement is made that the demand has fallen off, especially for fuel oil, which is the heaviest product of crude. When the demand will return to normal de. bends entirely upon the resumption of industrial activities. It is said that the Standard and few other of the big monopolies are filling their stor- age tanks to capacity with cheap oil Many of the small producers are being forced out of business and frequently into liquidation because they find 1t impossible to produce oil on the mar. low margin allowed by the ruinously low price of. crude. The Standard is complicating the situation by entering the producing field, whereas it has been confining it's operations to re- fining.
 These conditions are undoubtedly exercising a restrictive influence upon production and has greatly retarded development, in new and unproven fields. Despite the fact that the Un-
 ion county field has been proven to be one of the marvels of oil history, the influence of the Standard policy is be- ing felt there Notwithstanding these handicaps, the men who promoting the Arkansas oil fields are courage ously contending for the establish ment of an industry, which, under more propitious conditions, will bring a golden flood of wealth into the state. Some are predicting that the tide will turn next fall and that the price of crude will return to above $2.00 at which price it can be produced profit ably and with generous returns for those who invest their money in wells and refineries. New fields are certain to be. developed, although more slowly than would be done under more favor able conditions.
