The cotton conference recent ly held in Memphis passed the fol- 1 lowing very important resolution: That farmers, after allotine ample acreage to foodstufTs, plant that cot ton acreage that can be properly and economically cultivated, but under no circumstances and in no instance shaii the proportion of the total cultivated acreage exceed that planted in 192l.' ! Our Hon. C. H. Brough in his very | interesting and instructive address before the body gave some good ad- vice and presented some statistics with reference to our Arkansas, which make entertaining reading matter Our farmers will not go wrong if they would follow his advice on safe and sane' and diversified farming. Let every community in the cotton belt become self-sustaining in the matter of food and feed" he urged, and gave as a safe rule six acres of grain and ,hree acres of hay for each work an imal in addition to the area needed to produce feed for cattle and swine. Besides "safe and sane" farm ling methods, cooperative marketing should be encouraged, he said, school systems strengthened, roads improved and strong community centers deve'- oped.

 While President Harding's confer ence at Washington to favor disarma- ment General March is recommending an increase of 50,000 in the regular army. The prophet says, "They will cry peace, peace, when there is no peace" In this we seem have full fillment of prophecy.
 Recently we visited potato house on the farm of W. T. Presley of Dam ascus. The house has capacity of about 800 bushels. It was pleasure to look upon the fine yams stored there. MT. Presley is strong be- liever in diversified farming. Mrs. Presley also utilizes the potato house as safe place to take care of her pot plants during the winter. In this connection we desire to say we were informed that there are five potato houses at and within radius of two miles of Damascus.
