According to the federal census
figures Arkansas had 9,238,893
acres of land under cultivation jan
uary 1, 1920. This is an increase
from S,076,254 in 1909. During
that period, however, the value OF
Arkansas crop increased from $112,-
1920 to $341,565,356, while its
expenditures for commercial fertili-
ger ran up from $596,553 in 1909
to s2,572,67S in 1919.
# For many years nitrates for fer
filters were obtained from Chile.
Later modern science evolved q
method of obtaining nitrogen from
the air. The method was first
used commercially in Germany dur
ing the war and that country is
now producing large quantities OF
atmospheric nitrogen. Some atmos-
pheric nitrogen is now being pro-
duced in this country but coal is
still our main reliance.
Ammonium sulphate is only one
by-product of coal, the yield per
ton of coal being approximately rs

OF Sec.
HUGHES GO FAR
into FUTURE


Washington, NOV. l4.-DeiegateS
to the armament conference had not
recovered yesterday from the shock
of Secretary Hughes blunt presen-
tation Saturday Of the proposal for
immediate reduction of the fleets of
Great Britain. the United States and
japan, and for a 10-year naval
holiday. a.
The concrete terms of the Ameri-
can plan, laid before the opening
session of the conference on limita-
ton of ornaments, are still in the
hands of the naval experts Of the
two other powers chiefly concerned.
Pending their conclusions, no fur
ther steps are probable. The spokes-
man here for Great Britain and
Japan had nothing to add to their
previous guarded comments on Mr..
Hughes suggestions. AS far as
they went, those statements were
encouraging, and it was certain at
least that no possibility of flat re-
lection of the plan existed. Without
doubt it will form the basis for
reaching whatever conclusions the
conference brings forth
With further time for study by
interested officials of all nations,
the American plan began to stand
out yesterday in it's true proper
lions. Apparently it is far more
than a .10-year naval holiday that
is projected, coupled with immediate
heavy reduction of the fleets of the
three powers. Beyond that is a
third, equally blunt and direct sug-
gestion for a continuing agreement
to limit the size of the battle fleets
That is what Mr..
Hughes naval requirements plan
really amounts to-
The Concrete Results.
In naming the ships to which
each main battle fleet would be cut
if the American plan for immediate
reduction was accepted, Secretary
Hughes statement shows taat Great
Britain and the United States would
be on an exact equality in the num-
Der of battleships, but the British
would retain in addition four battle
cruisers. The proposed Japanese
fleet would be composed of six bat
tleships and four battle cruisers,
while the United States would be
content with battleships alone.
This may prove significant as the
discussion proceeds, some naval Off
GERS believe 1t appears probable
that in proposing to agree that both
of the island powers should be pro-
vided in equal number with those
newest additions to the main fleets
of nations. while the United States
made no attempt for 10 years at
least to equip the American fleet
similarly, the American delegation
to the arms conference ought to
convey very definite assurance that
America, as President Harding told
the conferees, came to the confer
ence with no selfish purpose to-
serve.

Offers Solution
for Unemployment

Washington, Dec. 6.-The lat
est solution for the unemployment
problem is get-married cam
paign.
This novel idea is being prac-
ticed daily by DR.. Siom P w. Drew
of this city, who has earned the
sobriquet of the marrying par
son" through his efforts in behalf
of the local colored population.
The idea obsessed him recently
when streams Of colored men and
women applied to an employment
bureau, of which he is president,
for jobs. Unable to provide every
one with employment, he consoled
them somewhat by offering to per-
form marriage ceremony.
So successful is his idea, says
the marrying parson," that he
has found it necessary to establish
regular office hours to take care
of his daily rush of business.

NEW CUNARD LINER
 ON MAIDEN VOYAGE

The oil-burning turbine driven Gu nard liner Albania" is the first of the company's postwar fleet of thirteen new steamers to be placed in commis- sion. Launched at GreenocI. April IT. 1920. and starting on her maiden trip from Liverpool on January 19, 1921. she makes her first sailing from New York on February s, 1921. She will carry but one class of passengers cabin, for which there are ample ac- commodations for 4S0. Tn most cases the cabins arc fitted with two or fcur bcrths, but others are specially ar ranged for the inclusion of children. so that an entire family. where so de- sired. may occupy one large state room.
 The Albania" is a vessel of 12,OOO tons. with a length os $40 feet. a breadth of 64 feet. and a depth of 46 feet 9 inches. She is of the shelter deck type, having forecastle, boat decks. two complete tween decks, and an orlop tween deck.
 Being a one class snip, ali passengers may enjoy the best accommodations the steamer has to offer. Tn addition 10 the large and beautifully appointed Louis XVI dining room with small tables seating four. six and eight per sons. there is the spacious social hall easy lounge ana cOmrOrtaDle smoking room, all conveniently situated and in close proximity to the extensive cov- cred and open promenading area
 The thermo tank system of heating and ventilating has been installed throughout the passengers quarters which are located on A and E decks and which are supplied with the best of furnishings and toilet appliances.
 The propelling machinery consists ol two sets of Brown Curtis turbiness each set composed of one high pressure and one intermediate pressure turbine arranged ln tandem, driving one of tho primary pinions, and the low pressure turbine driving the other primary pin lon. The turbines are of the high speed type. The oil fuel burning in stallation Is of tho we'll known Wall send -Howden type, the pumping plan being fitted in duplicate.
 There is complete wireless in stallation and also submarine signall ing apparatus.
