jjm G. Ferguson, Commis
aionei* of Mines, Manufacture
“ a Agriculture, gave out a
statement yesterday relative
tn the amount farmers should
receive for their cotton see,d.
He said that the minimum
amount should not be less than
$80 per ton. The statement
“It is unfair for farmers to
have to pay from $20 to $25
per ton more for cotton seed
meal than they get for their
cotton seed. At the same time
the farmers are asked to pay
as high as $18 per ton for cot
ton seed hulls and as high as
|85 per ton for cotton seed
meal in some sections of the
state.' There should be very
little, if any, difference be
tween the price of cotton seed
and cottton seed meal. Under
the prevailing prices for cot
ton seed meal, cottton seed
hulls and cotton seed oil, the
farmers are entitled to $80 a
ton for their cotton seed.
“I have received telegrams
from the Southern commission
ers of agriculture and the far
mers of all the other Southern
states are getting better prices <
for their cotton seed than .the
farmers of Arkansas. In my '
judgment, the price of seed !
• will soon advance in this state !
if the farmers will not be too j
anxious about disposing of the !
seed,”

ARKANSAS BUILDING
From time to time the South
ern Construction News has
commented on the great activ
ity in building circles which
began this spring and has con
tinued week, after week. It
appears that the activity with
architects and contractors is
increasing week by week in
spite of complaints of rising
costs of labor and material.
The relation of building at
this time to fire prevention is
unique, for never has it been
more desirable to prevent fire
loss. It costs so much to put
up a building now that a fire
loss is‘not likely to be covered
by insurance. J. S. Speed,
manager of the Arkansas Ac
tuarial Bureau, at Little Rock,
There never has been a time
says in this connection:
when it was more necessary
to take steps against fire. In
the construction of the new
buildings especially is there
opportunity to foil the fire
fiend. Our Bureau gladly co
operates with architects, con
tractors and owners of all
classes of new buildings in ef
forts to keep fire losses down
to a minimum. This service is
free.”

SENATE BILE 78
Upon petition by t!he tax
payers and patrons of McCrory
Special School District and Dis
trict No. 10, in Barnes Town
ship, the recent session of the
Legislature passed a bill by
Senator Roddy, No. 78, consol
idating the two above named
disticts and the same is now up
to the Governor for his ap
proval. ,
This bill had for is purpose
the improvement of the school
conditions in both districts and
specifically requires that the
schools in both districts be
maintained as heretofore and
names the directors of both the
districts as members of the
board of directors for the new
district. There is nothing tak
en away from No. 10, and all
children in that district shall
have free access to the school
at McCrory without having to
pay the $90.00 a year tuition
on each child.
Statements to the effect that
Senate Bill 78 will kill the
school at Fakes Chapel are ab
solutely absurd and not true.
A petition has been circulated
asking Governor to veto this
bill and names have been se
cured upon the misrepresenta
tion that if it becomes a law
the school in No. 10 will be
killed. Mr. W. R. Chatman,
who resides in District No 10
was in town this, Friday,
morning and stated that he
had signed a petition against
the bill because it has been
represented to him by those
circulating the same that his
school would be disconmued
if the law went into effect.
A number of patrons in Dis
trict No. 10 and several /per
sons who hae large land in
terests in No. 10 have signed
for the bill and hope to see it
become a law. Among the
largest, if not the largest land
owner in No. 10 who signed for
the bill is Mr. Walter B. Fakes
Mayor of McCrory who has no
interest except to see the
school .conditions in each dis
trict made better. He has no
children to send to either one
of the schools, but stated that
although it will increase his
taxes, he desires to see the law
go into effect.
We hardly th*ink the Gov
ernor will veto the bill and
with his approval we know
that it will be for the best in
terest of all and we hope that
he will not veto it. Some of
those who signed for the bill
are:
