ey EDWARD w. plckARo.

Congress took action on two import
aut and interesting matters last week.
One of these related to the national
defense. The senate, which had voted
for reduction of the strength OF the
army to 100000 men, reconsidered its
vote and repassed the New resolution
directing the secretary OF war to sus-
pend eHlistments until reduction TO
10000 men was accomplished. The
house promptly passed similar reso-
luton almost unanimously, and the
measure went 10 the President. 1t
was expected. in view of the opposition
Of the war department, that Mr.. VIII
son would veto 1t, and that congress
would pass II over the veto.
This is supposed to be measure OF
economy which will save about forty
million dollars year 10 the govern
ment. The senate was restrained from
being even more economical only by
representations from Secretary of War
Baker that the 10000 limit would
upset the departments plans for army
organization. and from General Perish
Ing that 100000 men was the bottom
limit of safety. OF course the sena.
tors in this connection debated the
yellow peril" Phelan of California
asserted the necessity for large garri-
sons i'm Pacific possessions was greater
now than during the war, while Reed
and Williams ridiculed the danger
and said Japan never would dare 10
attack the United States without the
assistance of Great Britain.
Ii is likely that the latter view Is
that generally held In America, except
by the people of the Pacific coast, 10
whom the japanese peril looms large.
Ii accords. also, with the expert opin-
lon of the German Admiral Scheer,
who says 1t would be almost impcssi-
Bile for japan to land an army on
American soil. Some people ha se
grown excited over the murder of an
American navy lieutenant by Japa-
nese sentry in vladiyostok. There Is
no doubt that this affair will be set
tied automatically, though the sharp
note from Washington. virtually ques-
tioning Japan's right In the Siberian
city. may result in an acrid exchange.
The arbitrary actions of the Japanese
authorities In Vladivostok. which they
hold under military rule, have caused
a good deal of irritation-hut the gov
eminent In Tokyo Is too smooth To
permit them to lead TO hostilities With

 After c. c. Denney, w. H. Gist, Tom Davis, w. s. Cazort, B. w. Tor reyson and J. B. Parker had respond ed to calls for their opinions and letter from County Superintendent A. A. Parsons had been read, the club called for County Agent T. M. Will Hams, who was there with District Agent John c. Barnett. At the out set, MT. Williams dsclaimed any in tention of making a plea for contin- uance of the work, but merely pre- sented some of it's phases. Farm clubs already organized for next year, he said, will require more time in supervision than an agent can pos sibly give, should he work day and night seven days of the week. He declared that almost every farm home in the county is receiving the Appeal to Reason, the socialist paper. Sam pie copies were mailed to all farmers, the agent said, and its Bolshevist and anarchistic doctrines must be counter acted by farm demonstration or some other effective process of education.
 Development in agriculture is a process of evolution and can not be accomplished by whirlwind cam- paigns," Mir. Williams said. It is one thing to get farmers interested and another thing to line them up so that the business will become permanent. That is the goal of demonstration, to lead gradually toward crops which can be cultivated with safety. l was hired to do demonstration and that is what l have done, although regretting that time did not allow me to spepd more time with members of the Com mercial Club in Conway"
 When support of the farm service was put to vote by MT. Hill, the re- sponse was unanimous. It may be possible that club finances can be ar ranged so that employment of an all time secretary will be possible. Re treatments were served at the con- clusion of the meeting.

 CONTINUE TO DROP

Only 467 bales of cotton were gln- ned in Faulkner county between No- vember 14 and December this year. the number being by far the small est on record for the period.
 The total ginnings in the county prior to December 1, according to Census Agent w. R. McHenry, were 1,266 bales, this also being the small est total on record. It compares with 18,774 ginned to the same date last year and ginnings in preceding years to December l as follows: 1919, H. 352 bales; 1918, 12,132 bales; 1917, 17,157 bales; 1916, 20,910 bales; 19l5, 14,918 bales; 1914 21,543 bales; 1915 21,6sS bales; 1912, 19,O68 bales.
 During the November 14-December l period, this years ginnings of only 467 bales compares with 2,78S bales during the same period last year and in preceding years as follows: 1919, PISA bales; 1918, 1916 bales; 1917, 2,783 bales; 1916, 1,053 bales; 1915, 1,- 535 bales; 1914, 2,107 bales; 1913, 4,- l60 bales; 1912, 2,335 bales.
 Whereas over 4,000 bales were gin ned after December 1 in this county last season, it is believed that year the number to be ginned will hardly exceed 300 and the total crop for the year is practically certain to be under l2,0oO bales, the smallest crop since the government began gathering gin nlng figures and doubtless the small est yield per acre since the organiza- tion of the county.
