MANY CORPORATIONS
ARE DELINQUENT
Among Them Cotton Belt And
Validity Of Act May Be
Tested.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Sept. 16.—State
Treasurer J. W. Crockett has
certified to the State Auditor
that there are 126 delinquent
corporations in the state that
have not paid their corporation
tax. The largest claim is
against the Cotton Belt, $6,798,
and the Midland Valley railroad
of Fort Smith has also failed tc
pay. The Dierks Lumber Co. is
also' delinquent in the sum oi
$1,124.65.
It is not known whether the
Cotton Belt proposes to contest
the act in the courts, or whether
it has been an oversight, but the
fact that so many corporations
are delinquent presents an in
teresting situation that will
probably go into the courts for
adjudication.

! Farmers Favbr Demonstrations.
Special to the Independent
Little Rock, Sept. 16.—Depu
ty State Agricultural Commis
sioner Huthins has returned
'from^Oak Bowery, Faulkner
countj^rtiere he and Farm De
: monstrat^P W. J. Apple attend
ed a Farmer’s Unjpfmetting
and delivered addresses. They
were accompanied by Capt. W.
W. Martin, representative of
Faulkner county, author of the
bill passed by the last legislature
authorizing county quorum
courts to make appropriations
to aid farm demonstration work.
They found the farmers en
thusiastically in favor of the
work. For two years the coun
ty had a demonstrator, paid by
the farmers and business men,
and last year they Had none.
Now they realize the need of the
work, and unanimously adopted
a resolution to send a strong
committee to the meeting of the
quorum court to urge the appro
priation of $900 to aid in the
work, the federal government
giving §337.50 in addition.
Four Wire Fence Troubles.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Sept. 16.—A pe
culiar condition exists in Sevier
county over the passage of the
| four-wire fence law that was in
i troduced by Representative
: Bourne, and successfully cham
_1 rnL«
i pjiUiivu. civi vunviuuvo nun
an emergency clause providing
however, that it shall take ef
j feet Jan. 1, 1912. Secretary of
| State Hodges concluded that,
' since its operation had been de
ferred eight months, no emer
gency existed, and that it was
subject to reference by the peo
ple. A petition signed by over
i about 800 citizens of the county
was received, under the I. & R.,
for the submission of the act to
I the people at the ensuing gen
| eral election. The secretary
j held that the act was thereby re
ferred, and so notified the peo
ple of Sevier county. He was in
formed that practically every
one in the county is opposed to
the act, and that it is very un
popular. Attorney General Nor
wood, however, has just given
an opinion, that the emergency
clause, while differing from the.
usual form, is effective, and that
the bill is not referrable. Ac
cording TO TO Tms opinion, me
people of the county cannot vote
on the act, but must abide by its
provisions. Gen. Norwood came
originally from Sevier county,
and is familiar with the condi
tions there, knowing the act to
; be unpopular, yet says that he
j can construe the act in no other
! way.

WEEVIL REACH
HELENA DISTRICT
Government Agent Says Gen
uine Boll Weevil Has Ap
peared In Cotton.
Jonesboro, Sept. 15.—R. C.
Davidson, district agent for
Plant Industry of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, returned to;
this city yesttrday from a busi
ness visit to Lee and Phillips
counties.
Mr. Davidson told the Tribune
representative this morning
that he had found considerable
evidences of the presence of the
evidences of the presence of the
boll weevil and the army worm
among the cotton crop of that
section, but declared no damage j
had yet been accomplished. He;
said that the worms had eaten !
! the leaves off the plants in many
instances, but he regarded that
as a beneficial feature, rather
than disaster^ as it would allow
the boF. to develop more rapid
ly and to better advantage.
He saw many traces of boll
weevils and found many of them
near Marianna and Helena;
They had not been able to do any
damage this season, but much
fear was felt for the cotton crop
or liuz m tnar section.
Mr. Davidson was one of a
party of experts and they also
found the pests in great num
bers in the fields near Mellwood
and the- southern payt of Phil
lips county.
Those who are directly inter
ested at Helena have started a
concerted effort to combat the
pest and in order to become
more familiar with the situa
tion, an invitation was extended
to the following government ex
perts to meet there.
