Mena Chamber of Commerce
 Tells of Polk County Poultry

Lon T. Jones, secretary of the Cham br of Commerce of Ashdown, has re- ceived very interesting letter from the secretary of the Chamber or Com merce at Mena in regard to the poul- try industry. The letter follows:
 Your letter of April 27 being an inquiry about the, poultry market in this community came to hand in due time, and l note the points you raise.
 Tn the first place, let me say that the industry has been in development for several years until now we have it to a point where it really is one of our money crops. Fortunately for us we have had a home demonstration agent who has been interested in the organization of poultry cluos among the boys and girls so that the young folks in many instances nave been the leaders. Then, through the co-opera- tion of the banks, the home demon- stration agent and this office we have had rooster days on which all poultry dealers would pay all that the traffic would permit, reserving for himself no commission. Each person, then, who brought in a scrub rooster was per- mitted to select thoroughbred roost- CT of the breed of his cho;ce, and the banks would thu pay the difference between the price of the thoroughbred and the amount that the scrop brought. showing at the TeXarkana District Fair last fall with the exhibit of the poultry club members. Later we put on a local poultry show which really was an eye-opener even to those of us who thought we were in close touch with the industry. We have already to be in the second week in Decem- Der. Still another proposition we have on this summer as soon as the breed ing season is over is to put on Rooster Day." the purpose for which will be to get rid of the roosters so that the remainder of the season infer- tile eggs will be produced. These, you may know, are the eggs that will then go into cold storage. This is given to you as a showing of our efforts to develop the poultry industry. Of course, the development of the market was still another line of action, but have found in all things that no one is so far from the market as the fellow who has nothing to sell, and on that theory we put our first endeavor in the development of the industry on the theory that the market would come af- ter that We are pounding hard now

CTS to get from four to i've cows and a hand separator, sell the cream and use the skim milk for cooking, drink ing, making cottage cheese, and feed ing what is left over to tne nogs and chickens.
 Now, as to specific results: Since car load shipment was begun seven cars of poultry have been shipped from this station. These shipments originated at Hugo, Okla, making the one stop at Mena between that point and the destination at New York. Each of these cars has been accom- panied by special man who takes charge of the poultry on the trip. The proceeds for these shipments as far as the growers were concerned amounted to $3O,240.OO Since March 1, this year, $25 ,OOO has been paid to addition to the poultry shipments, there have been five cars of eggs shipped out, and the value of these to the growers was about $15,000 Just at this time one of our poultry houses has an order for 2,000 cases Of eggs which are to be extra select to go into cold storage.
 ''Let me suggest to you that you get in communication with E. D. Els ,,+l Of ha nd it may be that he would consider 8 branch house in your city. At any rate he will, I am sure, put you in touch with conditions that may put you in shape to help yourself, Pre- sent prices are about as follows: Hens IS cents per pound; roosters 10 cents per pound; broilers 30 cents per pound and eggs 15 cents per dozen.
 "There is one influence in the de- velopment of the poultry industry that I have failed to mention and that is the work done by Mrs. F. J. Greiner on the Golden Rule Farm. She was among tn first to systematize the business, raising Barred Rock chickens of a laying strain. She had her layers trap nestled so that she coulc cull out the loafers. For some time she made good business selling baby chicks, but dur ing the last couple Of years she has found it more profitable to sell breed ing stock and eggs for matching, sell ing eggs generally by the bushel bas- ket. That is, bushel basket holds 100 eggs wrapped for shipment, and this amount would fill an incubator.

NEW MARKETING PLAN
 IS BIG FORWARD STEP,
Arkansas Program to Be Complete When 100000 Bales of Cotton
 is Contracted.

Visions of the entire cotton growing South united under one plan of action for the marketing of cotton were real ized when growers from 12 Southern states met at the call of the American Farm Bureau Federation and endorsed the "Sapiro plan" for pooling and mar keting, in Memphis on April 26.
 This endorsement means that the states of Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennes see, Missioui and California are now all working ready to begin work of organizing cotton marketing assOcia- tiOns upon identical lines in each state. Previous to the meeting, seven of the cotton states had already com pleted organization or were at work organizing marketing associations for cotton. Oklahoma has already com pleted it's organization, Mississippi is ready to organize in the immediate fu- ture and in all probabilities ArKansas, Texas and Arizona will have their contract by July 1.
 The plan in Arkansas provides that the organization shall be complete when minimum of 100000 bales shall have been signed up by growers for delivery to the association and a board of 23 directors elected to conduct the affairs of the association. The grow CTS contract provides that he shall deliver all of his cotton to the assoc iation for sale for a period of five years.
 The minimum of 100000 bales has been set because with this number the assOciotlon will be able to enter the market with sufficient quantity to meet demand of millers or spinners. If the minimum is signed up by July of this year, the association will con- trcl the 1921 crop. If not signed up until January 1 of next year, then the association will begin marketing with the 1922 crop.
 The most important and far-reach ing feature of the Memphis convention was the endorsement of Aron Sapiros plan for an overhead sales agency to sell the cotton of all associations to be formed in the South. The pro- posed central agency is to be known as the American Cotton Growers Ex- change.
 Affairs of the central sales agency will be governed by a board of trus- tees-one from each member associat- ion and another for each 25O,OO0 bales of major fraction there of controlled by the member association. The cen- tral agency will be supported by mem Der associations in proportion to the cotton controlled by them. The uni form plan of state organization and the plan for the American Cotton Crow ers' Exchange were unanimously en- dorsed by the delegates present vOt- ing.
 Delegates to the Memphis convention represented the state farm bureaus, the state cooperative marketing as- sociations, the agricultural extensions of the state, the American Cotton As sociation, the Farmers Union, tate

GERMANY GRANTED
 TEN DAY RESPITE
British and French Compromise Their Conflicting Views on Preparations.
 Allies To Present Bill.

London, May 1.-The British and French government have reached an agreement on how to dear With Ger many to compel payment of repara- tIons under exact, immediate guaran- tees. In broad outline, it is agreed that the allies will make declaration tomorrow, but not to Germany.
 They will announce that the Repara- tions Commission will notify Germany as tC the amount she is required to pay, and how it is to be paid, together with the proposed financial controls. The allies then will announce that within 10 days, this period being sub ject to possible modification by the Supreme Council tomorrow, they will proceed to carry out the penalties if the terms are not acceded to.
 The plan provides for a comprehen- sive scheme of supervision and con- trol of Germany's sources of revenue. It is not yet complete, but while the experts are working on it France will proceed with all her military prepara- tions for the occupation of the Ruhr The French government tomorrow will order the mobilization of one addi- tional class for the occupation of the Ruhr.
 Belgians Avert Split.
 This is the general result and agi- tated day of conversations and con- ferences that seemed likely to end in sharp disagreements among the allies. The agreement was brought about by the intervention of the Belgian. for eign minister, M. Jasper, at a meeting of the Supreme Council this afternoon. The whole subject win come up for discussion again at another meeting of the council tomorrow morning.
 Both sides feel that they have meas ureably succeeded in having their poli- cies accepted
 The French premier asked for Brit ish naval cooperation, suggestion the blockade of Hamburg. The British prime minister replied that American public opinion would not approve of such a course, and he could not agree to blockade, which would bring the allies into controversy with the United States.
 .G '. s. Policy Lauded. nis,
 M. Briand agreed to this point of view He added that the course of the United States has been absolutely cor rect
 Uneasiness still exists among the French delegates over the possibility that Washington may endeavor to mediate; they declare this would not be acceptable to them.
 Notwithstanding the agreement, the French are not entirely satisfied with today's developments. M. Briand was averse to delay, and it is understood that he had undertaken that, failing Germanys compliance, some move should be made today.
