At the conclusion of the meetings,
Mr.. Wilkinson said that he is very
much encouraged with the prospects
here, for the results of these mee.-
ings are far better than he had an
ticipated. The. farmers had pre-
yiously affected organizations at
every place but Lacombe. Without
outside suggestion but on their own
initiative the Lacombe farmers want
ed to know how to make a start,
and elected Mr.. Villars president Of

got to go to farming.'
Mr.. Wilkinson explained that at
at this time it is not practicable to
ask the farmers to join the American
Farm Bureau movement in this par
ish. In the first place they do not
have the money to join. In the sec
ond place until they are raising
crops in sufficient quantity to make
up carload lots few are ready to take
advantage of the great benefit which
comes from membership in the A
f. B. Nevertheless, they should get
together right now, before the be-
ginning of the new year and make
their crop plans. They should get
together in each community and plan
together, SO that they will get the
habit of acting together The time
has come when farmers who do not
work together, plan together, and
sell together are wholly at the mercy
of those who in other businesses and
professions have learned to act in
unison. Mr.. Wilkinson gave many
illustrations Of successful methods
which have been developed in farm
communities in Louisiana, the re-
suit of knowledge of farming busi-
ness just as applicable to conditions
in this parish, and which we intend
to present to our readers at a later
time.
The most important achievement
of Mr.. Wilkinson's work on this trip,
perhaps, was his conferences with
those who are interested in grow
ing cane and manufacturing syrup
AS Mr.. Wilkinson is an expert, a.
sugar chemist, it was most pleasing
to learn from him as he examined
few samples Of syrup made by our
farmers, that the quality of same is
first class in every respect, and by
cooperative methods of grading ana
merchandising would be able to sell
at fancy prices to fancy trade In
the slight opportunity he had for
inquiry he found at least 5000 gal
lans Of this high grade of syrup, and |
of course there may be considerably
larger quantity Of this grade which |
could be gotten together and sold !
by a parish-wide organization. This |
is an indication of the great advant-l
ages which may by another year be |
secured by a parish organization of |
the A. F.. B.

benefit Of his considerable experience
IN farm organization work, brought

COTTON ACREAGE
REDUCED 45 PCT,

Combining reports secured on per-
sonal visits to exactly 100 farms in
various sections of Faulkner county
during the past few days, |. r. Rey-
nolds presented figures to the Log
Cabin Democrat today showing an
average reduction of cotton acreage
in this county of 40 - per cent, or al
most one-half. The 100 reports show
total of 1850 acres in cotton this
year as compared with 2,866 acres in
cotton on the same farms in 1920, a
decrease of 1906 acres. The average
per farm is 1916 acres this year as
compared with % % acres per farm
last year.
The figures, Mr.. Reynolds believes,
represent fair index of the entire
county, as he noted his figures on

nearly one hundred and seventy

ton gave 1t the name Of BLEED
ing Kansas" 1t had been an un.
organized territory since 1921,
at which time it had been con-
sidered a portion of the Terri
tory Of Missouri. According to
the Missouri Compromise, If
Kansas became a state it could
not be a slavery state. The op-
position of the South was so
strong the Kansas Nebraska bill
was passed in 1854, making this
vital question optional with the
inhabitants in each proposed
state. With this law in force.
the two factions actively started
colonizing Kansas. Immigrants
from the slave states of Arkan-
sas and Missouri Immediately
founded Leavenworth. The Mas
sachusetts Emigrant Aid soei-
ETY. sent out anti-slavery settlers,
who founded Lawrence, Topeka
and other towns. Conflict be-
tween these two parties broke
out at once, and it was only put
down by the intervention of fed
eral troops. The Northern set
tiers came in such numbers that
they soon were in the majority
and in 1861 an anti-slavery con-
stitution was adopted, so Kansas
was admitted to the Union In
that year.
The political dispute over Kan
sas was the cause Of the forma-
ton of the present Republican
party.
