 Little Progress was made in plant Ing cotton during the week and the growth was slow. In some localitie } where cotton was up it was frosted, making it necessary to plant over In Elcsr sections preparation is going cn rapidly, in some localities the soil is too wet. Some corn was planted dur ing the week but this work was also delayed by the wet soil and unfavor- able weather. Corn was injured in places by the freeze, but where the lowest temperature occurred but little of it was up. The crop is generally in good condition. Oats, wheat, mea- dows, and pastures are in good to ex- cellent condition except in some To- calities where it was reported injured by the freeze. Potatoes, fruit, truck, and berries were badly injured in the northern portion, some damage oc- curing in the central portions It is feared that the fruit was entirely des- troyed in the extreme northwest, but it too soon to determine definitely.

NUMBER 27.
Hot Springs Wants Soldier
 Hospital Located There

Washington, April 20-The claims of Arkansas to one of the five perma- nent hospitals to be constructed for the treatment of ex-service men were taken to the White House today, and personal appeal made direct to Presl- dent Harding.
 John R. Fordyce of Hot Springs, who is trying to get one of the inst1- tutions located on land owned by the government in that city, was accom- panied in his interview with the presi- dent by Senator Caroway and Repres- entatives Jacoway and Parks.
 MT. Fordyce left the White House greatly pleased with the interview, and then conferred with Dr. Sawyer, the presidents physician, who has been designated by MT. Harding to coordinate the work of the various health services
 Fordyce expects to appear in day or so before the disqualification con- SulIdHlS WuO WclS dppClHIcu Uy 0CC- retary of the Treasury Mellon to lo- cate the hospitals authorized by Con- gress.
 Data has already been filed with this committee setting forth the ad- vantages of Hot Springs at health resort. One of these advantages is the fact that the government owns 950 acres there, and would not be obliged to purchase site if the hos pital were located at Hot Springs.
 If Hot Springs is not given the To- cation, it is expected that MT. For dyce will ask that the facilities of the Army and Navy Hospital at that place be increased so as to treat ex- service men as we'll as service men.
 Congress made an appropriation of $12,500,000 for the permanent hospi- tals, and also provided fund of $6,- 100000 for additions to existing fa- cilities to take care of patients pend- ing the construction of the permanent structures.
