AMENDMENTS FAIL
 .~. TO GET MAJORITY
Additional Scattering Returns Indicate All Three Are Doomed; Little
 Interest Shown.

Little Rock, Oct. 5.-Continued scat tered returns from over the state yes- terday added to the majority against all three amendments and for the Dem ocratic state ticket, and it is certain that none of the proposed amendments will be adopted It is also likely that the Democratic ticket will carry this year by more than the two-to-one vote of 1920. There appears to have been ? concerted plan among the negroes to stay away from the polls.
 Governor McRae was leading Judge Grabiel, Republican nominee, at a ra- tio of about five to one, but some of the Republican counties have not re- ported. Amendment Mo- 13, which would provide rew initiative and ref erendum machinery, seemed to have been more popular than the other two. Latest returns showed that the vole in it's favor is only about 2,000 less than the vote against it. The vote against Amendment No. 14, the educational amendment, continues to lead at a ra tio of about four to one, but the vote against Amendment Mo- 15, which would subject personal property to taxation by improvement districts. is only about 5000 more than the Nete inA it's favor.
 The lead against the amendments, however, is too much to be overcome by any possible change in their favor, for they have to receive a majority of the votes cast for any state office ill the election. The vote for state office usually is 15 or 20 per cent more than the vote on amendments. The reports are from scattering precincts over the state and indicate the general trend of opinion.
 Probably it will be several days be- fore the final result Of the election is known In most counties the returns will not be canvassed before the end of the week. and in some counties not until next week. There was little in- terest in the election except iii those counties where there were hot local fights.

COTTON SEASON IS
 UNUSUALLY EARLY
Picking Is Much Farther Advanced Than Ever Before at This
 Time of the Year,

| I The 1922 cotton season is marked by the earliest picking in the history of the state, according to the bi-weekly report on crops from the period from September 15 to September 30, issued today by the Federal-State Crop Re- porting Service. The report is com- piled by Charles s. Bouton, Arkansas crop statistician.
 The report fellows:
 Cotton: Season is the earliest known. Probably one-half the crop of the state is now picked. Prices for picking ranged from 75 cents to S1 tper 100 pounds.
 Boil weevil is practically all over northwest Arkansas, except Clay co,n- ty and parts of Greene and Randolph BoN weevil damages very spotted, but in this territory in general it has ruin ed one-half of the middle crop and pre- vented any top crop. Through the state as whole through injury has caused much more loss than weevil.
 Rice Rice is ripening slowly on account Of cool nights, though in the Weiner district 75 per cent of the crop is reported to have reached maturity. in the Hunter. district most cutting will start about October. In Prairie county quality of threshings thus far has been below expectations. There maturity was hastened by water short age. Early Corn Good.
 Corn: Late corn in eastern Arkan- sas is better than previous reports in- dicated Early corn geerally is good. In the western part of the state late corn is badly burned by the drouth and high temperatures of the last week in August,
 Oats and wheat: Very little blow ing for fall seeding is being done, ow- ing to dry weather.
 Irish potatoes: Where showers have occurred late potatoes. have been benefited; otherwise the crop is not promising.
 Sweet potatoes: The outlook is for a much reduced crop, both from Iacreage reduction and yield.
 Hay: Alfalfa yields in Crittenden, Mississippi and adjoining counties are exceptionally good, running about four tons to the acre. Further west the crop is not above the average. Other hay cuttings except rowpeas about average, ,~
 Pasture. Pastures are again dry and stock water scarce in many sec tions.
 Apple Crop Light.
 "Fruits: The estimate of one-third of an apple crop is being borne out thus far by shipments. The crop is entirely harvested. Pears are still be- ing harvested and the yield slightly above earlier predictions New straw berry Dlantings in many parts of the state were injured by drouth during Sem ember.
 Nuts: Pecan and hickory nuts, Very light> though some trees will have 8 good crop. The majority of the trees are very light, however, and prospects not better than one-flfth of a crop
 Labor; Labor is plentiful in nearly all sections Of the state, Weather: Since the good rains on September 10, the weather has con tinued dry tAyoughout most of the state. Many of the sections which re ceIVet no rain at that time have hsd from eight to ten weeks 'drouth. Sotne light showers have occurred during the past week in several sections 'ot the sta!&, but they are not general Days have been warm and nights T3ol.
