FARMERS TURNING
 TO LONG STAPLE

Fancy prices being paid on the local market for Snowflake" and other long staple varieties of cotton are causing many Faulkner county farmers to resolve to change their breeds of cotton another year and grow nothing but long staple. Snow flake is apparently the most popular of the varieties. It produces a sta pie of 1 3-16 to 1 5-16 inches in length, and most of the farmers who grow it declare that it yields practically as many pounds of lint per acre, on both upland and bottoms, as Rowden and other varieties of medium length sta pie. Throughout the present seas on Snowflake" has commanded a premium of 10 to 15 cents a pound over the price paid for inch cotton. Yesterday afternoon Leo Hamberg paid T. B. Hardin, on Mrs. o. J. Ow- ems river farm, $207 for a bale of Snowflake" the bale weighing 552 pounds and the price being 37 1-2 cents.
 Another advantage in this variety is a high premium commanded for the seed. Snowflake" seed for planting purposes are selling at $2 to $3 per bushel, or $120 to $1S0 per ton, compared with a price of s35 for seed for crushing purposes.

ENLARGED SYSTEM OF WATERPLANNED IRON PIPES THROUGHOUT Board and City Officers Draft Out line of Modern Service-Nine
 Miles of Mains.

Almost entire reconstruction of the present waterworks system, includ- ing the replacement eventually of all wooden water mains, the addition of approximately nine miles of new eX- tensions and the installation of T modern gravity filtration system with an enormous settling and storage ba- sin and new pumping machinery, were tentatively adopted as the pro- gram for Waterworks Improvement District No. ? at meeting of the board last night, which was also at tended by Mayor w. D. Cole, Alder man Gist and Supt. E. V. Leverett.
 The replacement work, it was de- cided, will not be done at once. The wooden mains that have been glvirg the greatest trouble will be 3upplant- ed with cast iron pipe as soon as pos- sible, but the remainder will be re- placed only as the need develops and the reconstruction work may be car ried on for two or three years before final completion, thus saving interest charges and making the old lines last to the end of their efficiency.
 Pumping machinery, electrically operated and of double the present capacity will be installed at Gleason, and large new steam boiler will be installed at the electri cstation here to provide needed additional power to operate the pumps. The present pumping station with it's machinery will be left standing and used as a reserve or emergency outfit. Settling and storage basins with a capacity of 2,000,000 gallons will be installed, to eliminate the necessity of using river water at any time, and modern gravity filter will take the place of the pressure filter now in use.
 The distribution system in the city will be practically doubled by the ad- dition of about nine miles of new lines, covering practically every block in the city limits. The plans also call for the installation of 78 new fire hy- drants, in addition to about 100 now in service, putting a hydrant at prac- tically every street intersection n the city.
 MT. Leverett was directed to pro- ceed at once with the completion of plans and estimates for the new sys- tenn. As soon as finished they will be filed with the city council, which will appoint board of assessors to apportion the cost of the improve ment against the real estate within the district.
