Farm Agents Advise Low
 Cotton Acreage for 1922

Little Rock, Oct. 1.-Farmers should not for a minute consider increasing their 1922 cotton acreage over that of 1921 even though they may hear from many sources the prophecy of a cotton shortage next year, advises specialists and county agents of the Agricultural extension Division, Uni versity of Arkansas.
 It should be evident by this time, saw these agricultural workers, that mammoth cotton production will break the farmer and nothing but a low production accompanied with high prices will put him back on his feet.
 Large cotton acreage is dangerous for more than one reason that large production lowers prices. Large acre age tends to increase boil weevil dam age because we are not able to prop erly cultivate it and thus overcome the weevil ravages. Large cotton acreage cuts down our acreage of food and feed crops, lowers the soil fertility and puts the farmer at the mercy of his creditor
 It is evident that the 1921 crop even though it is several million bales low CT than that of 1920 will bring the South more money than last years cot ton would have sold for had it all been marketed before the raise in price. A small crop raised at less cost will bring as much money as the large crop raised at great cost. Arkansas farm CTS should remember this when they plan their crops for next year.
 When decreased cotton acreage IS advocated the farmer will ask this question, What will we raise on the land and how will we market other crops?" The first consideration should be enough feed for your live stock and enough food for your family. The county farm agent will help to plan the crop system so that there will not be an unstable surplus of any one crop.
 Now is the time to begin prepara- tion of the next years crop. Ask the county agent to help you.

DERRICK TIMERS FOR
 ANOTHER TEST WELL
New Test We'll One and a Half Miles North of Arden on TOOtle
 Tract

Derricx .t1mbers have been cut and to be sunk one and ore fal miles lrni.l ni Arden on the Tootle tract. The timbers were otten on the ground last week al the derrick builders are expected anis week to be- gin erecting the de' k. It is an nounced that plans ha, U been complet ed for the beginning of the well at a very early date. Stroud & Wilson of Fredonia, Kansas, are t.i contractors, and are said to be extensive oil op- orators. Their contract is with the owners of the large tract of land in that section known as the Tootle tract. H. L. Poland of this city is one of the owners of the land. This is the first public announcement that a well would be sunk at this place.
 GrOte Drilling.
 Operations at the Grote we'll south of Arden, which were resumed several days ago, are reported to be going steadily ahead. A day and a night shift is at work. The surface quick sands are said to have been success fully passed through and on last re- port the well was down 260 feet in a blue shale. If no unexpected difficult ties are encountered the well should make rapid progress. There is much material on the ground, and since the greatest difficulty has been successful ly overcome the Grote well should soon reach point where operations there will be watched with keen interest.
 Sullivan No. ?.
 Sullivan Mo- northwest of Fore man, after a long period of inaction, has again become the scene of acti- witty. The drill is down more than 1900 feet and will likely soon reach a depth where developments might be expected that will again place the west end of the county in the lime- light.

Hopes a Creamery Will Soon
 Be Located al Texarkana

Texarkana, Sept. 29-showing the interest that is being taken outside of +cxarkana in the nearby territory re- p,rdng the establishment of d cream cry here, and giving some idea of the
 ntiment that is being aroused to- yard the project. the following letter aceiyed by the Chamber of Commerce rom E. w. Dowd. of Horatio Arkan- aas, gives a high opinion of the pro posal
 Having read in a TeXarkana news aper that there is q move on foot b establish a creamery business ill axarkana, l am interested from two andpoints; the first, that I am in favor of anything that will aid in the
 yelopment of the territory, and sec- I'd, that l am the owner of 320 acres of land within 95 miles of Tex arkana and that 1 will be provided ith market for any cream that nay be produced on the place.
 Going into little history for 9 few years back MT. Dowd writes that ao first became interested in the COW in 1904, when he acquired some hold gs in Little River county. He stat es that he asked NIr. Webster, then chief of the dairy division of the de- rartment of agriculture, what he thought of the dairy business, in the southern states, and was informed that, with the kind of farmers and kind of cows then had, there was no tture to it. MT. Dowd states this .as not meant as a reflection on the frmers, but on their farming meth is at that time He said that MT Y ebster predicted that under proper nethods and with the right kind of cows, the farmers of the territory would become rich.
 There is a great deal more to be oone than to say, let there be cream, continued Mir Dowd, "I was about ten years old when the creamery invaded Iowa, and the far. ioe"s u that 5ime were in about aa A d need for ready cash as those in H.o Texarkana territory need T now. | wa had common cows. and they le- ived no better attention than do the common COWS at the present time eound Texarkana
 "The farmers soon saw they would have to produce better cows and feed better feeds Their problems were 4 Q same that confront cur farmers to- y, the difference being that our mers have the benefit Of the 30 y ars experience of the northern farm er in breeding and feeding his COWS In this territory we have an adyan- tege over the northern farmer in the length of our grazing season, and the variety of crops that we can grow for hay and forage.
 One of the greatest benefits that can be derived from the dairy busi- ness is the increased fertility of the farm where the COWS are kept This of itself is sufficient reason for going into the business, as under the old system the soil was robbed Of it's fertility, while under the new this fer tility is replenished"
 MT. Dowd closes his letter @i'h the expressed hope that the proposed new industry may become a reality

DEMOCRATIC GAINS

While the Republican press conspic-
uously published the news of Senator
Bursum's election, false figures and
all, there has been a painful lack of
information in the same press of the
results of the recent city elections in
Connecticut.
At the election the first week in this
month, in New Haven, Fitzgerald,
Democratic candidate for mayor, car
ried the city by 2,4O9. Last year
Harding carried New Haven by TO-

At the same election in Waterbury
Guilfoile, Democratic candidate for
mayor, carried the city by 3,042. Last
year Harding carried Waterbury by
1851.
AT New Haven the total presidential
vote was 37,90S and the total mayor
atty vote was 36.375, falling off of
only l,527 votes.
At Waterbury the total presidential
