Critical Cotton Situation in Hempstead County
Hempstead County faces a dire cotton outlook as Arkansas Experiment Station data show that planting up to June 10 yields poor fall harvests. Only about half of the 7,487 acres planned are standing, with wet weather delaying field work and blackland bottoms largely unplanted. Late planting may yield some varieties better than others, including Empire and Plains, but most local seed dealers report limited options. Extension Cotton Specialist William Woodall notes June planting adds risk, and economic pressure is high as producers lack alternative cash crops. Page Two.

ADA Gas Bill Critics Call Profit Driven
In a House Commerce Committee hearing Edward Vollander of Americans for Democratic Action labeled the gas bill a profit grab by oil companies, claiming it would siphon up to a billion dollars annually from 60 million consumers. Supporters argue it curbs overregulation while protecting gas buyers. The measure would bar the Federal Power Commission from using production costs to set prices and base rules on reasonable market value.
