 Faulkner County:
 | Now that our last years work has closed and we are entering upon the duties of another year, 1 feel under obligations to give you a partial re- port, at least, of results obtained by the demonstration work.
 In the first place, you will remem- Der that last year was one of, if not the worst, years to make a crop that | this section of the country has ever experienced, being entirely too wet and cold until the middle of June, af- | ter which we had the severest drouth we have ever known. In all, at least 800 farmers in Faulkner county, were either demonstrators or co-operators. There were on my list 88 demonstra- tors, of whom 75 reported, and $50 co-operators, of whom about POO re- ported.
