HIGHER PRICE FOR COTTON
NIT. Page Finds New England Mills
 Busy and Demand Good.

Little Rock, Nov. 21-Demand for cotton by the New England mills is very good and mills and buyers expect much higher prices, according to Freq l.. Page, sales manager for the Arkan. sas Cotton Growers Cooperative As sociation, who has just returned from Ia business trip to the East. The ob- ject of his trip was to visit the asso- c1ation's correspondents in New Eng land.
 "I found that the general expecta- tion in New England is that cotton will go to 30 cents before the first of the year." said MT. Page Business con- ditions in the East are very good Nearly all the New England cotton mills are running full time and many of them are operating night and day.
 We are finding no trouble in selling the associations cotton at good prices. The spinners constantly are becoming more in favor of the cooperative mar keting associations as they become more familiar with them. They like the plan because they can go to the associations, with their big stocks of cotton, and get exactly the quantity and quality that they want"

 Again I urge upon the attention of the people of our state renewed consideration of our greatest prob lem, the states biggest business, pub lie education. To emphasize this, I have had an educational survey made of our public school system, and re- gently set aside the week of October in Arkansas, to be observed by all our people as suitable time for the study of our educational problems. A gen. erous response was made to my ap- peal, with pleasing and wholesome results, and for this I ann duly grate- ful.
 "The United States Bureau of Edu- cation, cooperating with the National Education Association, the American Legion and other agencies, has set aside the week beginning December 3 as American Education Week, and President Harding has joined in theh request for the proper observance of the week indicated
 "Now, therefore, I, Thomas c. Me- Rae, Governor of Arkansas, do here by direct the attention of the people to our educational problems and re- quest that all individuals, organiza- tons and communities that have not already made public recognition and study ot these problems, join in the celebration of American School Week, beginning December 8, 1922"

Texarkana Man Given
 Mention as 0at Expert

Texarkana, Nov. 1S.-Robert b. Dortch, planter of Scott, has been rec ognized for his remarkable work in oats seeding. The State National Bank of Texarkana has placed a spec ial order with Dortch for 500 bushels of his seed oats.
 The order was not the first recog- milton Dortch has had for his work. He is a student of seed breeding, hay ing studied under Dr. Soule at the Georgia Agricultural college. Dr. Soule, in a recent visit of Arkansas farms stopped over to view the work of his former pupil, and declared Ar kansas was greatly benefited by the work Dortch was doing.
 An oats yield of 65 bushels per acre during a, drought in which neigh boring farmers were getting only 20 to 30 bhshels is one of the records held by Dortch.

KILLING AT GARLAND
 COUNTY KHAN MEET
One of Three Confessed Ambushers Who Killed Jeff Howell, Appears
 Before County Body.

Hot Springs, Nov. 1S.-The Garland county grand jury this morning took up the cases of three men, Travis Con- ros, Thomas Talley and Al Baldwin, who yesterday confessed, according to officers, to having constituted tine shooting party that killed Jeff Howell and attacked alleged members of the ku Klux Klan and speakers from Hot Springs who attended community meeting in the Marble township school house, 30 miles northeast of Hot Springs last Wednesday night.
 The grand jury was called into spec ial session by Circuit Judge Wood im- mediately following the shooting, in which Jeff Howell, an alleged klans- man, was killed, and three other al- legged members of the invisible empire. were wounded when fired on from am- bush as the alleged klan party was preparing to enter their automobiles after the meeting had closed.
 According to local officers, the three men admitted they formed the party of ambushers, declaring, it is alleged, that they resented the speakers from Hot Springs scoring the moonshine indus try and the presence of the alleged klansmen, who entered the school house during the address of the Rev.

EXPLAINS PLAN OF
 COMBATING WEEVIL
Winter Quarters of Pest Destroyed And Special Cultural
 Methods Used.

Little Rock, Nov. 19.-A method of successfully fighting the boil weevil by destroying his hibernating quarters and by special cultural methods, is de- scribed in a communication recently sent to the Gazette by John H Keel of Ingleside, Jackson county. The method, according to MT. Keel, has this year enabled farmers to raise up to a bale an acre On the rich White rive.' bottom lands.
 Here is how we did it," Mr. Keel wrote "In October, 1921, We began braeking all meadow and other avail able land for the 1922 crop. We used disc blows that cut all weeds, stalks and turfs and turned them under. We also applied the torch to all stumps, dead trees, weeds and brush in the vii cinity of our cotton fields, where they would afford hibernating quarters for the pests"
 The weevil being tropical insect, MT. Keel writes, cannot live through the winter in wet ground if he has been covered deeply with blow in the fall.
 "So," he said, "after blowing under our fields and dstroying every hiding place, early in April We bedded our lands and planted twice the amount of seed customarily used to get good stand"
 The customary spacing in the Ingle- side section is six feet between rows. This was followed last spring, and the cotton was cut to 20 inches in the drill after two harrowings with section har- rows. The crop was then finished with flat sweeps, garden harrOws and the long-winged "GoDevil" blow used for knocking out the middles.
 We saw in the Gazette last spring" :" said MT. Keel, "a plan advanced by scientific men advising narrow rows and close spacing in the rows as the Best methods of securing a high yield under weevil conditions. But for lands liks ours, the exact opposite is the best method. Our soil is exceedingly fertile. Cotton planted here in narrow rows and closely spaced grows to a great height and laps in the rows. This tall stalk, with little fruitage, gives the weevil an excellent home, whereas wide rows and wide spacing let the sun beat down on the enemy and flinders his operations
 The theory of the Ingleside method in this, according to MT. Keel: A cot ton stalk is capable of maturing only a limited number of squares in sea- son. If the weevil is restricted so that only a small number of insects start tte year, and the attack on the cotton comes late, whatever squares are stung and blasted would very possibly have been shed by the stalk in any case This observation, he took care to point out, is confined only to the White river bottom country as he saw it this year.
 My advice to my friends" he con- cluded, lis to do fall and winter plow- ing as We are doing here. Also de- stroy every hiding place in the fence rows and ditches where the weevil can winter. If this is done, the crop will beat the weevil and a good yield will be secured We here are just complet-

VALUE OF COVER
 CROPS IS SHOWN
School Students Arc Given Practical Dem-
 0nStratiOn.

RussellvilIe, Nov. 1S.-The agricul- tural school has a practical demon- stration for it's students of the value of cover crops When the ground is left bare through the winter, twice as much plant food is leached out of the soil during the winter as the plants use during the following growing sea- son. This is the cause of so much of the old cultivated land being so poor.
 When plants like rye, oats, wheat, rape and the winter growing covers are sown they grow a winter, absorp the pant food through tn ir roots and save the loss from teaching.
 There are 125 acres of winter grain growing on the school farm, large field of dwarf Essex rape and con- siderable area of bur clover.
 These crops will not only stop leach ing and savet the fertility of the soil, but will furnish a lot of valuable pas ture through the winter and spring whenever the land is dry enough to let stock run on it.
 Effects of DrOuth Overcome.
 It was little drier at Russellville du1ing the past summer and fall than in most other drought stricken regions. In spite of this the fall seeded crops are making a vigorous growth since the recent rains.
 The land was so hard and dry that it was impossible to blow it. It was disked repeatedly, the seed sown with a drill and this followed by a culti- packer. The result was that the seed was in the ground and the ground in good condition when the first showers came and the crops are frowing rapid ly Farmers who waited to get the land ready until the rains came, failed to get in the seed and will have no winter pasture and their soil will leach.
 A large part of the acreage in win ter growing crops On the school farm is in abruzzi rye. This has been found to be very hardy and to furnish large quantity of winter pasture.
 Both Fulghum and Turf oats. sown in the fall, have done well during the past three years. The Fulghum is 10 days earlier.
 Dwarf Essex rape grows all through the winter unless the weather is unu- sually severe. It must be grown Oh rich soil and furnishes large amount of winter and spring pasture for hogs. President Critz says that if the wealth CT stays mild until January l rape will do well. Should severe lold weather set in early the young plants will be killed. The sed costs so little that it is worth sowing a few acres.
 The fields where bur clover is grow ing begin to look green already This winter growing clover has thrived viz orously on the thin upland soils on the school farm for many years. It takes couple of seasons to get a good stand.

Failure Of the District Commission.

ures relating to local suffrage Is puz.
cling members Of, the Senate District
Committee.
The Capper-P oindexter bills. both
giving Washington representation in
Congress. were referred to the Com
missioners on April IL last year. and
SO far the latter have made no decla.
ration Of policy about them or commu.
nicated any information Of their att.

1t is possible. however, that the Sen.
ate committee will proceed with its con.
sideration Of the suffrage question and
report a bill to the Senate without
waiting for any recommendations from
the Commissioners. A final hearing
on suffrage will be held at 2 O'Clock
this afternoon by the committee.
In some circles It Is felt that the
Commissioners do not desire to make
any recommendation to Congress on
the subject affecting the organization
Of the local municipal government, be.
cause they probably would be exposed
to criticism IL they took any position
for or against the existing system, OF
which they are a part.
1t Is pointed out that delegate from
the District in either House or Senate
would be under no obligation to sup
port the District Commissioners in any

There will be no efforts made {,
