MANY LOCAL CHILDREN
 ARE BELOW NORMAL
Red Cross Hietitian Finds Large Percentage of Little River Chill
 dren Below Weight.
(By Miss Helen Gillette.)

We have been rather appalled, at the high percentage of malnutrition in the rural districts of Little River county, where the survey showed a range of between 50 per cent and 75 per cent of the children ever 10 per cent below normal in their physical health. But do the city children av- craze much better? During this week the children of Ashdown were given the height-weight test with the following results:
 In grades, 319 children were weigh ed and measured and 1S7 or 58.6 per cent were over 10 per cent below nor mal. In the high school 32 of the S3 students present were malnourish- ed. In Ashdown schools 54.45 per cent of the children enrolled fall 10 per cent or more below average. line cases of to 10 per cent below normal. A few are over 25 per cent over weight, hence rated malnourish- ed.
 An interesting comparison is that the girls average slightly better than the boys.
 The nutrition classes for women will be started very soon and all women are urged to take this course on completion of which they will be granted certificate in Food Select ion.
 Miss Gillette, nutrition worker for the county will discuss an interesting group of charts at the Jones school this Saturday.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Formal an- nouncement by Attoreny General Daugherty that the government would consider in due time what proceed ings shall be taken against the few misguided labor leaders Who have made incendiary speeches. in connec- tion with the industrial situation, and persistent reports that secret confer ences are in progress looking to some sort of separate settlement with indi- vidual roads stood out in today's de- velopments in the strike of he rail- way shop crafts.
 MT. Daugherty said preparation of the governments case has been somewhat hampered" by the difficult ty process servers are experiencing in locating leading officials of the shopt crafts organizations"
 W. H. Johnston, presiden. of the machinists, and B. NJ. Jewell, official head of the seven organizations on strike, have dropped out of sight, al- though labor spokesmen haze denied the two leaders are avoiding the ser vice of copies of the restraining or der issued at Chicago last Friday, and said they would De available if wanted for that purpose
 MT. Daugherty emphasized his be- ;De +1 II, 1,J ganizations are content to leave the issue to the orderly processes of law, but said the few leaders who have shown a contempt for the courts need not complain that they are denied the full privilege of free speech" h. structi0ns have been sent to the Unit ed States attorney at Chicago. the at torney general said to notify attorneys for the unions that leading officials of the shopmen'5 organizations to- gether With their complete records, would be required before the court when the case is called again.

Some officials had been in- formed, it is said, that the outlook for a settlement" has been frightened by recent developments, but even with these details are lacking. It is mat ter of common knowledge, however, that several railroads still hold the views in favor for separate settle ments which their representatives OK pressed at the recent conference of railway executives in New York.

 Cent Oil-Find Was Accident.

Washington, Ark, Sept. 5.-Oil in what is thought so be paying quanti- ties, was struck in the we'll on the old James Norwood farm, two miles northwest of Washington, at 1 o'clock this afternoon at depth of 2360 feet.
 The bringing in of the we'll was an accident. Operations had been sus- pended about two weeks on account of the absence of the superintendent, but the drillers concluded this morn ing to "clean the hole" They had drilled but about ten minutes, when the oil was struck and began to rise. When. the bailer was lowered it was found that the oil had risen to within $50 feet of the top, and the bailer came up with more than fifty per cent of oil When this showing was had the well was promptly capped, and the superintendent, who was in New York, was wired for, as the drillers did not care to take further responsi- bility.

State Convict Farm
 Now is Making Money

Little Rock, Sept. 7.-Oficial re- ports of the state convict farm at Cummins shows a net profit for the past year of $76,9O9.29 Or $119.61 per capita for the average number of prisoners which was 643. This re- port is in striking contrast with that of the preceding year which showed a net loss of $113,S43.62 or S183.62 per capita The report for the past two and one half years shows that the per capita cost for the month of May, 1922 was only $S1S, the small est of any month for the entire per iod. The highest per capita cost was ill July, 1920, when the cost of keep ing each prisoner in the penitentiary amounted to $47.96. The following July this had been reduced by care full management to $1473 per capita These figures reflect a businesslike administration of the affairs of the institution which is a credit to the Commissioners in charge.

Many Auto Tourists
 In State This Year
By Clio Harper.

Little Rock, Sept. 6.-Arkansas is this year getting a real taste of what automobile touring can mean to a state. Every day there are hundreds of motorists from other states camp ing by clear streams or speeding a- long good Arkansas highways These visitors are for the most part en- thusiastic about Arkansas, but there are still several gaps to be closed i'll trans-state highways before Arkansas can get favorable report from the visiting motorist, after he has left the borders of the state. In spite of the comprehensive road building cam paign of two years ago, there still re- mains a county here and there that was never stung by the improved highway bug, and it is these counties that afford the barrier to the tourist. No matter what these counties said the road district was unpopular they are now coming to the realization that they are losing business by their penny wise policy, and most of them are building permanent highways, and not waiting for special act of the legislature to create improvement districts. The popular road right now is the gravel road, and in most places a gravel is being used that ce- ments readily, but where creek gray el can be secured nearby, the clean round rock is being used. This has no cementing power and it would be useless but for the fact that it IS ground into the dirt and gives solid foundation for the road. There are several counties in Arkansas, on the main highways, that have done little or no road building, and right now they are knee deep in dust The au- tomobile that passes over them is subjected to a greater strain than II it journeyed over rough stone, and the residents Of these counties take many times daily dust bath, There would be no hope of getting high ways across these counties were it not for the fact that most of the resi- dents have automobiles of their own, and travel into nearby counties, where they speed alCnG without physical discomfort. These people will Ulti- mately. rise and demand good roads for their home county, and when they do, the trouble gaps will be closed, There is less than 75 miles of unim- proved highway between Memphis and Texarkana and Memphis and Fort Smith, but this short distance certainly takes the pleasure off the remainder, which is excellent high way.

URGES HEROIC PLAN
 TO ERADICATE PEST
SehatGr Proposes Years Ban OD Co., t0ns t@ EN.erm;nate Weevi!-To
 Indemnity Growers.

Washington, Sept. 5.-The proposal tor one-year suspension of cotton planting in the United States a5 2 means of eliminating the boil weevil, was suggested in the Senate today by Senator Smith, Democrat of South Carolina, who predicted wholesale a. bandonment of cotton farms through out the South unless government ac- ton is taken to aid in destruction of the parasite.
 The South Carolina senator amour ced he had written to the chief ento- mologist of the Department of Agri- culture, asking that a study be made to determine whether a years layoff i'll cotton growing would eradicate the weevil He said the entomologist had expressed in a telephone conversation today the belief that such action would result in destroying the pest. Senator Smith announced that as soon as he receives the report of the entOmologist he proposes to introduce a resolution calling for the co-opera- tion as far as constitutionally possi- ble, of the federal government in stopping planting for one year, "so that there may be a tomorrow fer the cotton industry
 Supply Is Menaced,
 unless this heroic remedy is ap- piled" continued the speaker, "it will be only a question of a few years be- fore the supply of cotton will be mad equate to meet the domestic needs, much less the world demand"
 The present less to the country from the ravages of the weevil a. mounts to $1O00,OOO,OO0 a year, Sena- tor Smith said He suggested that the i federal and state governments join in paying the deficit occasioned the growers in the years layoff, declaring try in the end, even if it had to ap- propriate the amount to defray the expenses caused by the suspension of cotton growing for a year.
 Senator Smith suggested that once the weeyil is eliminated, the govern ment should resort to zonins the Rio Grande border for a distance of loo miles, in which no cotton could be planted, expressing belief that this action would stop the insects migra- tion
 Pointing out that production last year was only little more than half of normal. and estimating that this years crop will not exceed 9,0O0,OOO bales. Senator Smith asked how long the nation can expect to maintain the balance of trade in it's favor if it's ex- port of cotton fell away. The export demand, he continued, is around 6,OO,- 900 bales. with the domestic demand exceeding that slightly On the basis of this years crop, he added, the coun- try would be 2,500,O00 short of the export requirements.

Farmers Section

grew rice for market and home
consumption. Healthier men,
women and children never lived
than these, who had rice for din
ncr daily.
81 learned there that rice could
be grown to better advantage, at
less expense and with greater
profit in upper South Carolina
than in Georgetown, because in
the upcountry certain expenses,
aegreeating $40 to $50 the acre,
which were inseparable from the
low-county cultivation. would
not be incurred. These expenses
included maintenance of banks,
bitches and flood gates and the
minding of the rice at certain
seasons against blackbirds by day
and ducks by night. No such pro
lection is required here in New
berry or anywhere in upper Car
ollna ard the rice flourishes even
in Greenvllle and Occnee.
There are both upland and
water howed varieties. Upland
rice, in my opinion. can be grown
profitably on every farm where
there is constant moisture; near. a
branch, creek or river. suitable
plots can be found which are too
wet for corn. boggy underfoot,
where rushes grow, with briars
and willows. Thoroughly plow
or dig with the hoe and pulverize
without a sod. Lay off, March
10 to April 10, rows Is inches
wide and one-fourth inch deep.
Plant ten graius to the hill, a
hoes width apart, cover lightly
and when the rice is four inches
high cultivate like corn or cot
ton About September Is is the
time to harvest. Cut the rice
with sickle, lay it on the stub
BILE for three days. tie in bundles,
then in shocks as with wheat or
oats, and after two weeks thresh
in any machine that will clean
wheat or oats. If the quantity is
Tess than 50 bushels, the rice may
pvenientfy Be hailed clean
over barrel or an inch plank
nailed between two posts. The
average yield to the acre is
40 to IS bushels, which, when
milled, gives IS to 46 pounds 10
the bushcl. I harvested my crop
at a yield of 40 bushels to the
acre, without any fertilizer OF
nitrate of soda, otherwise the
yield would haye been greater.
