COY. McAAE CALLS
 A FARM MEETING
Conference to Be Held January 12 to Combat Single Crop
 System.

Little Rock, Dec. 22.-Calling at tention to the serious agricultural situation facing the state under the present single-crop system, Governor McRae yesterday called meeting of farmers, bankers and merchants to be held at the Hotel Marion January 12 when a definite campaign for the improvement of agricultural methods will be worked out. The governor yesterday said that he will issue a proclamation to the same effect later.
 In his call the governor said:
 We cannot avoid the knowledge that the state is facing a serious sit- uation due to our agricultural meth ods. Unless a radical change is made over the old single-crop system we are headed for trouble. For the pur- pose of taking a definite step toward the organization of some agency . which may cope with the situation, I am calling a meeting of the farmers, bankers and merchants of the state to convene here January 12, when l hope that some plan of campaign may be worked out which will educate the state to a greater diversity of crops. I hope that the farmers can be con- vinced that they can acquire no eco homie safety unless they are able to make their farms self-sustaining, and that the merchants and bankers may be convinced that their better inter- ests lie in aiding the farmers toward improved methods. Every farm in the state should grow sufficient food stuffs for it's population, and enough feed for it's cattle. There should be, also, some crop in addition to cotton which could be sold for cash. Other things may be suggested at the meet ing, but in my opinion diversity and self-maintenance are basic require ments for prosperity"

SMALLEST CROP SINCE 1900
Total World Production for I921-22
 Was 15,593,OOO Bales.

Washington, Dec. 21.-World pro- duction of commercial cotton for 1921-22 was placed at 15,593 ,OOO bales by the Department of Agricul- ture in report made public tonight. This is the smallest crop since 1900, the report says, and compares with 20,650,000 bales produced in 1920.
 Two of the most important cotton producing countries-the United States and Egypt-suffered crop disasters" during the year, the re- port asserted, producing only 61.4 per cent of their total production of last year, or 5,667,O ,OOO bales less than was produced in 1920. The cotton crop in China, South America, Mexico and other countries, while said to be not so important commercially was re- ported small r than usual. Russia, which immediately before the war produced around 100000 bales an- nually, has practically ceased to grow cotton, the report stated.
 Prices for cotton in the United States were forced below production costs last year, the report said, be- cause of the forced shutting down of spinning and weaving establishments in the principal manufacturing coun- tries.

DEMANDS A PROBE
 OF CIVIL SERVICE
Senator Robinson Has Heard That Administration Is Disregarding
 Rules.

Washington, Dec 20.-Sensational investigation of the examining d1vls- ion of the United States Civil Service Commission is demanded in a reso- Iution introduced in the Senate by Senator Robinson of Arkansas today.
 The resolution directs the commit tee to ascertain whether political in fluence has been used in the grading and altering of grades of examlna- tion papers of applicants for federal positions. and also whether the act of Congress giving preference to ex- service men in appointments to office has been observed and executed.
 The committee would be empowered to sit during the recess and sessions of the Senate and to subpoena wit nesses and the production of papers and documents, reporting back to the Senate within 90 days
 GlenwOOd Case Cited.
 While Senator Robinson did not say so, it is said the resolution was promp- ted by the action of the commission in regarding the papers of Perry w. Hampton, an applicant for the post mastership at Glenwood Ark, giving him a passing grade on margin of two-tenths of one per cent, while on the first grading he had been rated 66, lacking four points of the neces- sary 70 per cent.
 Hampton was the choice of the Re- publican organization of the county, and it was at the request of H. l.. Rem mel, Republican national committee man from Arkansas, that the commits sion regarded his papers permitting him to become one of the three eligi- bles and to receive the nomination for the position.
 Commission Is Accused.
 Speaking of his resolution, Senator Robinson said:
 Information has reached many senators that the Civil Servcie Com mission, particularly with reference to qualification of pOstmasters, has divested itself of the impartiality which should characterize it's pro- ceedings in order to make them valu- able. In many cases it is said that where the examiners have failed to qualify an applicant for office, politi- cal leaders have appeared before the commission or some member of it and have succeeded in having the rating changed and the party of their choice appointed.
 men have qualified and under the law
 In other cases where ex-service were entitled to preference in the ap- pointment, persons who failed to qual- ify before the examinations have been rerated and appointed over the ex. service men.
 "The resolution under the rules o the Senate must be considered by the Committee on Audit and Control. Se rious opposition to it's passage is no at this time contemplated"

from, but they will surely keep Ari- zona on the map as a nursery for high record dairy stock. And why not? We have the climate and luxu- riant feed, and we have the men who in the past set the mark of excellence high when founding their herds.
 The dairy business in Arizona suf- fered a severe jolt during the mad scramble of the farmers to the gam blers' crops, made irresistible by the imitation of postwar price promise.
 The dairy COW did us pioneer ser vice in this valley for the betterment of our bank accounts. Perhaps We will again see the dairy COW come into her rightful place in our diversi- fled agriculture. Present prices of butter fat may seer discouraging, but milk and its products sell foI cash every 30 days, a cash turn over that is not true of any other farm product except poultry.
 "One hundred and ten million people in America are learning the fact \that the products of the dairy cow are indispensable to the human family and are cheaper than almost any other food, and cheap at any price.
 We believe that any farmer who has feed will act the part of wisdom to increase his dairy herd to capacity and thereby stabilize his own and the valleys financial standing"

 Murphy, began test at the age of two and one-half years and made 15, 900 pounds of milk and 450 pounds of butter fat in year for a Californian. She also was bred bs MT. Sanders.
 Two Guernsey cows, formerly owned by Mir. Sanders, have made for their owners in the state of New York SIS and SS4 pounds of butter fat on yearly tests and are among the 10 best cows of the Guernsey breed in their class.
 Charles Peterson of Mesa sold two Guernsey cows to a California breed CT each of which has exceeded 700 pounds of butter fat in year.
 John Bradshaw of Phoenix sold a Holstein COW from his place that made nearly 29 pounds of butter in seven days for her owner in Minne- sota-
 Henry Renaud sold Holstein COW to a California dairyman who has secured nearly 37 pounds of butter in seven days from his black and white | COW from Arizona Many of the younger heifers sold l out of this valley yet are to be heard
