WILL NOT SELL
OLD COTTON
Several cotton growers of th»
county have asked about sellinj
the cotton that they have oi
hand at the present tim<
through the association. Fo
their information we are pub
lishing the following extract
from the Arkansas Gazette ol
May 25.
“After careful investigatioi
Ihe officials of the Arkansas
Cotton Growers Associatior
have decided that it would b<
impractical to attempt t(
market old cotton of members

Treasurer John I). Eldirdge.
“The decision was made af
1 tor Fred L. Page, sales mana
ger of the association, had
spent considerable time in in
vestigating and had made a
trip to Pine Bluff and had look ;
ed at more than 3000 bales;
held by members.
“Mr. Eldridge said that it:
; would require an immense!
i amount of work to secure
■ enough cotton of various grades'
• and staples to make it profit- j
- able to sell. He said that it j
would be impossible for Mr.'
' Page to devote his time to!
this work, since it is desired |
• to have him spend a month
i visiting Eastern markets in
preparation for handilng the
1922 crop of association mem
bers. Also there seems to be
a general disposition of mem
bers to hold their old cotton
for the present at least and the
association has not yet secured

an office force adequate for
the amount of work that would
be involved in attempting to
market cotton at the present
time. Because of all these
handicaps, it was considered
impractical to make the at
tempt, although many members
had inquired about the possi
bility of having their old cotton
sold through the association.”
POOR STAND AFFECTS
THE YIELD
It has been said by good au
thorities that the average stand
of corn in Arkansas is only 75
percent perfect. That means
that for every acre that you
have with a 75 per cent stand
that you are reducing your
yield 25 per cent; and not only
a;e you reducing your yield
but you are cultivating one
fourth of an acre that you can-!
( xpect no rtfturn from.
Independence county -had
42,631 acres in corn in 1921.
Accoring to the above figures
there were 10,658 acres culti
vated by the farmers of this
county last year that did not
produce a single bushel of corn.
The average yield for the state
last year was 22 bushels per
acre, which is a very low aver
age for this county, for it has
always gone abvoe the average
of the state. If this average
yield had been produced on
the 10,658 acres, that were
. ultivated but produced no
corn, the yield of the county
would have been increased
234,476 bushels, or 5 * bushels
per acre. This amount of corn,
that could have been had for
practically no extra expense,
would have gone a long way
toward paying the rent of the
land.
Don’t you think that it will
pay you to give more attention
to the stand than you get and
try to make it as nearly perfect
as possible?
