Other Commissions.

Elaborate bills have already been in- troduced to provide metK Is for talk ing over the work of the ax Commits sion and the Board Control. Tn place of the Board Of Control which now has charge of the state insti- tutfons, it is proposed that three bon orary commissions of five members each shall be appointed by the gover- nor. In fact, the honorary commis- sion appears to be the favorite means for the administration of public affairs. Governor McRae is thoroughly com mitted to the policy of honorary board. The House is practically unanimous in supporting him in this policy while the Senate is more evenly divided.
 Investigations are also a popular pasttime of the legislators Provis- ions have already been made to in- vestigate the affairs of the State Peni- tentiary and more than 100 subpoenas are being served this week all over the state for witnesses to testify be- fore the committee. The State Boiler inspector is also being investigated as we'll and the state hospital dairy farm, and the employment of an engineer from Missouri by the Arkansas Cor porstion Commission. There has been talk of Investigating the Fish and Game Commission, the Highway De- partment, and various other things. Two unsuccessful attempts have been made by MT. Dowell of Boone to- or der an investigation of rumors of gambling and bootlegging in the of- fees and rooms at the State Capitol.
 It appears inevitable at this time that there will be radical change made in the system of collecting auto mobile licenses. The members seem to be determined that the money de- rived from the annual licenses shall bs returned to the counties where the owners reside to be used on their roads instead of being placed in state highway fund to be disbursed by a highway commission. There is an open question whether this will in- validate the federal aid. The question has been freely discussed on the floor. but no one appears to be able to ans- wer it definitely and finally. The gov ernor has said, however, that it will take care of itself and that he does not fear the loss of Federal aid.

WANTS TO. QUIT COTTON.

have been making some money at farming, but this year I have lost. My land is as good as any in the county. What can do with this S30 acres and grow no cotton? Shall l make poul- try farm or stock farm, or anything else?
 Natural conditions always indicate what should be the leading farm in terest in any section. Nature has made the Southern part of the United States the best country for cotton that there is known to exist on earth. Any eff fort to entirely reverse the natural conditions will finally fail. The fact is that there is not too much cotton Foreign countries would like to take all cur cotton at fair price, for theiI mills are idle from lack of the raw material, and yet they are too poor tc buy it unless they could get credit for good deal of time, Europe would gobble up the cotton # She could, Blu, without the cash and retarded by the extra cost of exchange, she cannot buy These conditions will certainly pass ere long.
 What you should do is not to aban- don cotton. You say you want to quit making your farm only a cotton patch. That is right. Scatter your eggs into number of baskets 70 that if one gets broken you can still have the others. That is. grow less land in cotton and bring the land up to making more cottons an acre. The more you get per acre the less 1t costs to make it. In short go to farming and stop being a mere cotton planter. Grow some cotton to sell. some oats to sell, some corn to sell and feed, some cattle and hogs to make manure and to sell, grow hay to feed Keep poultry as matter of course, but drop the idea of jumping into a poul- try farm. Keep plenty of hogs and grow plenty of crops for them to gath CT for themselves and get good price for your corn in smoked bacon and hams. In short, farm in 2 good TO- tation planned for the building up of your land in production, and with money coming in at different times in the year, the price of cotton will not bear so heavily on you as it does when you have nothing to sell but cotton which has cost you three times as much as you can get for 1t. know a man who bought an old rundown cotton farm and went to farming it. He did not stop growing cotton but gave 1t smaller area and the best place in well-planned rotation of crops. He grew grass and clover and fed cattle and raised mules, made good manure and bought little fer tilized except acid phosphate. He started with 1e bushels of wheat an acre. but got tho and up to making <s Iushels. II. eei srass on all the

GENERAL ASSEMBLY
 IS NOW HALF OVER
Arkansas General Assembly Is Now
 <, Over Half Gone; Many Bills and ~ Acts Passed the Body

Little Rock, Feb. 12.-(SpeciaD-The forty-third session of the General As sembly Is one-half gone. As result of the first four weeks of the session there are 60 new acts on the statute books and large number of new measures on the way. A total of 353
 bills has been introduced in the House and 255 in the Senate. The most not able feature of this session, as com- pared with the three sessions of the
 42nd, is the reversal of the body on the question of special road acts. There Is scarcely member of the House or Senate who is not the au- thor of some sort of a bill repeating, amending or modifying the special acts of 1919 and 1920 creating these districts. Only one member, Mr. Be- lote of Hot Springs, has had the timer ity to propose the creation of new broad improvement district. And he
 got by with his proposition by elimin-
 ating the bond issue provisions and providing that the road should be built
 and maintained by a tax on vehicles, operated on the roads. The House ! has also passed general bill apply ing to all counties permitting the
 people to call an election on any dis trict by special act of former sessions to determine whether or not the pro-
 posed improvement shall be carried
 out. The bill has been hailed by the friends of the people as a Democratic measure. Since it refers to the tax payers the question of whether they shall be taxed or not for improvements in which they are interested.
 Backing Up the Governor.
 Another feature of the session is the disposition on the part of both the House and the Senate to accept the policies outlined by overnor McRae for the abolition of various commits sions and agencies. The first to be out of business is the penitentiary agencies. The first to be put out Of business is the penitentiary commits sion, which became defunct February 1, and was succeeded by an honorary commission.
 { The Arkansas Corporition Commis- sion was abolished this week and it will go the same way as the penitent- iary commission. Other agencies which are skating on thin ice are the board of control, the Arkansas Tax Commission, the Fish and Game Com mission, the Boiler Inspection Depart ment, the Oil Inspection Department. the Highway Department State Inner
 itnace Tax Collector and possibly a few other honorary and semi-honorary
 commissions.

Foreman Banker Does Much
 to Help the Farmers

{, Foreman, Feb. 17.--D. A. Cook, pres- ident of the Bank of Foreman, at Foreman, Little River county, is dem- onstrating how the banker can aid ! his farmer customers, according to H. M. Cottrell, agriculturist of the Ark ansas Profitable Farming Bureau of the Little Rock Board of Commerce. MT. Cottrell last week visited Foreman and studied the work that MT. Cook is doing.
 For four years MT. Cook has been using all his influence and also funds l from his bank to make farming more profitable in his section. says MT. Cottrell. He continually has urged that every farm be made self-sustain- , ing, independent of cotton, and has urged that after this has been done the farmer, shall raise all the cotton he can.
 For three years he pushed beef cattle, bringing well-bred animals in to the country and loaning money to
 
 farmers to buy good beef animals. Last month he started campaign for dairy cattle and dairying. He has pushed hog raising during the entire four years, and now is recommending it more strongly than ever beforoS
 Due to his inspiration, farmers around Foreman have built ware- house for cotton that cost, with the site, $5,000. It will hold 2,0O0 bales. It will be bonded and every bale stored in it will be graded and stapied. This will secure a marked increase in price.
 ''The farmers organized a cotton warehouse company and Assued 1000 shares of $5 each to pay for the house and land. They were able to raise money enough to buy only one-fourth of the shares. MT. Cooks bank bought the remainder of the shares at par and will sell them back to the farm- CTS at cost as they can pay for them. MT. Cook expects that within two years the farmers will own the ware house.
 He plans to help his farmer cus- toners in the same way this summer to tuIid curing and storage ware honse for sweet potatoes with ca pacity of 5000 bushels.
 "There will be built 150 miles of hard graveled road in the county be- fore next winter and these will en- able the farmers to deliver regularly to the shipping stations dairy prod ,ucts, poultry and eggs. MT. Cook is undertaking to stimulate the raising of these products.
 .Mr. Cook found that large hog raisers at Nashville and Crossett had been planting corn in rows six feet apart, putting soy beans in the rows and row of Spanish peanuts in every middle. When the crops were matured, hogs were turned into the fields, gathered the crop and became fat and ready for market. At least 800 pounds gain from each acre was made on the hogs.
 "Mr. Cook is urging the hill farm CTS to plant a large acreage according to this method and promises that if they will raise good crop he will fur nish money to buy hogs for fattening. His assistance in this way will en- able tAs farmers to get four or five times as much feed from each acre as they could from corn planted alone and will give them quick cash mar : ket for their crops before next winter.

TRUCK BUREAU

Truck users are coming to realize
that tires have very important part
in successful truck operation, and that
the tires are separate problem from
the truck itself.
AS much money is wasted TODAY on
wrong tires as on poor ones. Some
truck owners wonder why their tire
bills are so high while others are so
moderate. The answer is to be found
in many cases in the fact that the
wrong type or the wrong size of tire
has been selected.
In the interest of greater economy,
the United States Tire Company has
established a Technical Service De-
partment. made up of tire engineers,
which will give impartial, disinter-
ested advice to everybody engaged in
truck operation. A full statement of
any tire problem from any truck op-
orator in the world will bring a detail
ed reply from the Department giving
the latest scientific information OF
the points involved. Making a com
plete line of tires, the company need
favor no type above another. AS tho

MUTUALS MUST
GIVE Up CANAL
TO GET WATER
Irrigation District Cannot Re-
pair West Side Main Canal
Unless Control Surrendered.

Destruction of the Westside main
canal by the flood of Tuesday NAV
force the Imperial Irrigation District
into taking over the canal and repair
ing it in order to assure the people
of the districts affected of a water
supply according to opinions expressed
by some of the irrigation district di-
rectors yesterday afternoon.
Mike Liebert, one of the water u.s.
ers of No. IL who is vitally affected
by the lack of water brought the sub
ject before the meeting and pointed
out in forcible terms that Imperial
Water Companies No. 8 and No. IL
are not in a position financially to re-
build the damaged section of -he canal
and that unless the district lends L
helping hand the farmers whose wat
er has been cut off may be forced to
go without water indefinitely, and
probably for such long period Of
time that their crops will be dried up
and worthless.
President Nickerson expressed it as
his opinion that the irrigation dis
trict could do nothing toward the re-
pair work unless the water companies
turned the main canal back to the
irrigation district, and such step
may be brought about within day or
two in order that the reconstruction
work can go ahead Immediately. The
question of absorption Of the mutual
companies was brought up, but was
considered to have no immediate
bearing on the ditcn question in this
particular instance, although it was
believed to be step in the direction
Cf absorption of the mutual COM
panies.
No estimate of the cost of making
the repairs in the vicinity of Dixeland
was available, but it was suggested
that the ultimate expenditure would
exceed $4,000
Flood conditions as whole are
much improved on the west side and
the water which covered several hun
dred acres of land is running off into
Salt Creek, leaving only the very low
PLACES under water.

expects to run the westbound train
