INCREASED ACREAGE
 F WOULD BE DISASTROUS
Raise More Cotton Will Low. CT Price, Says Dean
 Knapp.


 great deal of talk in Arkansas about increasing the acreage in cotton for next year. If such an intention is actually carried into effect on a very large scale in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas, we may throw the fiat into the fire" and produce more cotton than think it will be generally agreed that our enforced short crops for the past few years have enabled the world to catch up on cotton consumption. so that our price bids fair to continue at a large increase in acreage, ac- companied by good season and a large production like that of the year 1914, might imperil the advantage we COW have in remunerative price. - III sfSse the boil weevil is reaping havoc in the Carolinas and that We are probably profiting by the misfortunes of other people. But two or three. things ought to be brought clearly be- fore our minds in considering this problem of extending the acreage in cotton. Supposing we increase the acreage by 10 per cent above the acre. age of 1922. The result will be poorer attention to the details of making the crop unless the labor, the teams, and the tools are correspondingly increas- ed As rule fluctuations in acreage are made without a corresponding change in labor, team and tools. O. course an increase in acreage will al- ways mean that some plantations hay. put more land in cultivation and have secured more labor and have more houses occupied, etc, and that is not all of it. Part of it is from the smaller farms having a larger acreage with out an increase i'll labor.
 Under boil weevil conditions if the acreage per blow is too great the pro- per fight cannot be made against the Weevil, the crop cannot be properly cultivated, and the result is low yield per acre with a greater cost of produc- tion, and therefore less profit on the undertaking.
 The record shows that we proh. most not by our large asreage but by modest arreage and big yield per acre.
 If we should just forget about the question of acreage and put in the same acreage with the intention of ap- plying ourselves solely to the question of good farming and production per acre We would be doing the state a great service.
 A little study of the new Florida system, mentioned in the Gazette two weeks ago, will show the relation be- tween acreage and the labor neces- sary to handle it. As explained be- fore, the Florida system of fighting the weevil published in their 1922 bull letin No. 165, consists of picking and destroying all squares on the plants during the early part of June at timv when they figure that the boil weevil is entirely out of hiberantion. The squares are picked, whether punctured or not, and all destroyed together with all the weevils to be found in the field. Then poison is immediately applied. The Florida bulletin figures that und-

STORK MADE LONG JOURNEY
Bird Flew From Africa to Germany
With Message From Exile to
the Fatherland.

The population of Liskau. Germany,
noticed one day recently that one of
the many stOrks which annually re-
turn to the neighborhOod from distant
southern zones to rebuild their nests
was carrying something about its neck
which only human hands could have
fastened there.
Repeated efforts to approach the
bird had failed. hut one of the vii
layers finally lured the stork into his
barn and then and there learned that
the bird carried little leather case
in which a note was inclosed. The
note revealed that the stOrk had come
all the way from East Africa. where
a German colonist. Will Bucha. has
his little farm near Victoria lake.
Bucha must have anticipated that
the bird spent his annual vacation in
his beloved fatherland, so he wrote ::
"Just a greeting to the fatherland,"
and used the stork to convey his
message.

/ SAFE PLACE FOR VALUABLES
Should Welcome Idea That Comes
From Buenos Aires.

In these days of lawlessness, when
the honest citizen cannot take a walk
around the block with any certainty
that he will not be held up by II
bandit. the novel idea of Antonio Mon
AGO, Il citizen of Buenos Aires, ought
to he of value.
He suggests SuSpenders with pock-
cts attached to them-two pockets,
that is to say, each of them being
fastened with IL buckle to the loop of
the "galluS" at the fl ont. The lower
end of each pocket has two button
holes. which button onto the ordinary
buttons of the waiSthand of the trouS-'
erS, thus making the pocket fatty Sc
cure against the body of the wenrer.
To prevent escape of its contents each
pocket is provided with buttoned
flap.
Few bandits would think of looking
for loot beneath mans waistcoat.
and so the suspender pocket shouldi
afford excellent hiding places for
money Against pickpockets they
ought to furnish perfect protection.

 NEWSPAPER STORY
Hartford Democrats Name New
 Club After Spellacy

Lawyer Frank J. Cont, of Hartford in a statement to a Herald reporter
 this morning, said that the members
 of the Italian-American Democrat
 club in Hartford did not discriminate against Mayor Angelo Paonessa of this city in naming their organization the Italian Spellacy club at it's meet ing last evening.
 Lawyer Cont said that he and other members of the club heartily endorse the candidacy of both Pao- nessa and Spellacy and as matter of fact, any democratic candidate, local ly, statewise or nationally. He said however, that inasmuch as Spellacy was a Hartford man it was decided by members of the club that the or eanization should be named in honor Of him.
 In commenting upon story in a Hartford paper this morning, Mir Cont said: Tt is all wrong; and furthermore the reporter for the newspaper was outside listening in and was not manly enough to enter the office while the meeting was in session"
 The statement in the morning paper that it had been previously planned to form a Paonessa club was denounced by MT. Cont. The lawyer said that the New Britain mayors name was not given any more con- than any other candidate who did not live in Hartford. He said that it was purely a Hartford club and the members felt it should be named after a Hartford candidate.
 Emil Marzano was elected president of the new club, which has mem- bership of about 25, while Mir. Cont was named as vice president Rocco Sagarino, an alderman in the capital city. was elected secretary and An thony P. Zazzaro was named as treasurer
