COTTON MARKETING
 CAMPAIGN PLANNED
IN FAULKNER NEXT WEEK
Nine Appointments to be Made in County for Purpose of Organiz-
 ing Farmers to Sell Product.

The Arkansas Cotton Growers Co., operative Association will put on an
 intensive campaign in Faulkner coun- ty for three days and nights begin ming next Monday, it was announced today.
 M. C. Graham, former Pulaski county agent, is here arranging speaking dates and getting advertis- ing for the meeting. He states that the campaign is meeting with good success over the entire state, about 13O,OOO bales of the quota of 100000 having been secured. This is victory week in the campaign and there are about 1000 volunteer workers in the field.
 MT. Graham states that some of the best speakers in the campaign will be on hand at the meetings in Faulkner county to explain all the de- tails of the commodity marketing of cotton. One of them c. L. McNutt, commodity organizations since their has been connected with farmers inception in this country. He assist ed in the organization of the Calf lrnia fruit growers, the wheat grow CTS of the northwest, the apple grow CTS of the Yakima valley and the Oklahoma cotton growers. All of them are organized on the same plan and are functioning today as success ful farmers commodity organiza- tions.
 It is hoped by Mir. Graham that the farmers will come to these meet fngs and learn of the successful eff

ginning and cleaning the rolls as best as was possible to do, some of these colored seed appeared in the seed from the fourth bale which was ginned afterward.
 It requires very little thinking on the part of any one to realize the i'm portance of planting good seed the coming year. Planting a few acres well fertilized and worked will come more nearly making a crop of cotton with the boil weevil than a large acreage, no fertilizer and less work with the weevil. It would be the height of folly to plan the crop next year without taking into con- sideration the weevil and when this is done, reason will be for the good seed.
 The matter of pure, clean seed is getting to be more of problem each year and the county could not pos sibly do anything of greater value, economically, than to adopt stan- dard variety of corn and cotton es- pecially, and breed these from year to year.

Identity of Big Fish In Dispute


Identity of Big Fish In Dispute
There is quite q lot Of discussion
among fishermen and others at
Georgetown, concerning the large fish
that was washed up on North Island
beach recently, some claiming that it
was not whale. but some other sea
monster, more in the nature Of sei
serpent, that mythological creature
that has existed in the imagination of
seafaring men in all ages. The big
fish on North Island was about 100
feet in length. 1t stretches 90 feet on
the sand at this time, the prey of sea
birds and vultureS. The bulk is said
to be much smaller than that Of the
ordinary whale. and this fact gives
ground for belief that perhaps it is
some other form Of leviathan. A de-
scription Of the fish has been sent to
Clemson. together with photographs
taken by A. G.. Trenholm. These have
been sent to Washington, and d report
on the find from these authorities is
awaited with much interest. A part
Of the iawbonc about eight feet long,
was Brought up from the beach by one
of the visitors as souvenir.

To Have Ten Spans.

According to plans submitted Fri
day the Buster Boyd bridge which is
to be 1873 feet long will consist OF
ten spans One span over the river
proper will be 3Ol feet long, 1t Is to
have seven spans each 126 feet long
and two spans 90 feet long.
The sub structure is OF course TO lie
constructed Of concrete. Instead OF
the ordinary plank flooring for the
bridge proper, the bridge plank will
be covered with asphalt. 1t will be a
double track bridge.
In appearance the new bridge will
be very similar. to the Cherry bridge
which spans Catawba river between
the towns of Rock Hill and Fort Mill.
Just how long it will take to COM
plete the bridge is Of course more or
less a matter of conjecture. The York
county engineer estimates that it viii
require at least six months time to
build. The time limit however. will be
placed in the contract when it is let
at the office Of the commissioners of
Mecklenburg county next month.
One Step Nearer.
Action of the commissioners in
adopting the bridge plans brings the
connection between North and South
Carolina a step nearer. Agitation for
a bridge between York and Mecklen.

Plans for the steel bridge to be
buill over Catawba River at the Bus
ter Boyd site by York and Mecklen-
berg counties were adopted by the
York county board Of commissioners
at n special meeting OF the board in
the county court house in Yorkville,
Friday. It was announced that copies
of the plans for the bridge had also
been placed in the hands Of the Meek
lenburg county authorities and they
were expected to take similar action
within the next few days. County
Engineer Walter w. Miller went over
the plans thoroughly with. the COM
missioners Friday. explaining them in
detail and the commissioners are sat

prove large enough and strong enough
for the accommodation Of people OF
York, Castor and Mecklenburg coun-
ties for years 10 come.
II was stated at the meeting Fri
day that a joint meeting of the York
and Mecklenburg commissioners, would
be held in Charlotte early in August
at which time bids for the construc-

-
There have been various agreements
and disagreements between the COM
missioners Of the two counties regard
ing the matter in the years gone by.
Several sites were under consideration
before the Buster Boyd site was final
ly agreed upon as the most logical To-
cation for the bridge.
Nothing stands in the way now for
the beginning of the construction work
except the letting. of the contract. The
plans are approved by the officials O.
the two counties; the money for the
building of the bridge is available and
the site is satisfactory toiiall partie:

It is expected that before the end Of
