The Great Togo.

The journals of this awe-struck nation turned loose great gasps of admiration when Togo. grim and silent man, the hero of the new Japan, came here to make a little Call; men Whooped for Togo one and all. And what has brother Togo done that he so much ac- claim has won? He corded up dead men Tn rows, and splashed in hloodshed to his nose. l would not lift my old straw bat to one with such fame as that. Had been loafing round in Rome when old J. Caesar amoled home with plunder from hundred towns. and blood upon his handmedowns, he would have made me tire and sick, and I'd have slugeed him with a brick. The centuries have rolled away. but we are wolves. the same today as were the men of ancient Rome who hailed the butcher coming home. The man is good enough for ne who digs a well ol plants a tree. or does seeae sans and useful thing. more comfort t the world to bring. I pass up Togo and his kind. have q butcher in my mind who slaughters only pork and I'll honor him and call him chief. Walt Mason.

Farm Demonstration.

TOUT dgflCulCufdf COlfo9eS ID the state and the elements of agricul- tural taught in all our school dis tricts. Sufficient preparation is being made for agricultural future. but none of them touch the all i'm portant now. The crop of 1912 is more important. From it we must have a living Considering our immediate agricultural better ment. the work of farm demon stration is most important. The employment of man for each county who is both scientific and practical whose duty it is attend upon each farmer, whether he be tenant or owner, his crop small or large. and inform him Of the best methods and assist him by actual demonstration in the field, to apply these methods.
 Muscle diligently applied. is an absolute essential in crop raising. but brains must be mixed into any business effort for easiest and complete success. 1l44 corn fields and ll82 cotton fields were cultivated in Arkansas last year under instruction of these agrieul- tural agents. The corn averaged 56 bushels and the cotton ol5 pounds per acre, while the state averaged only 24 bushels of corn and 525 pounds of cotton. Con- sidering that many of these de- monstraton farms were purposely placed on the poorest land to show how it could be made productive of better crops, the showing is not only satisfactory, but wonderful. If every acre of corn end cotton in 1910 had made as full yields as the demonstration acres. the farm CTS of the state would have re- seeived 5o.oooooo. co morS for their crop Get a Demonstration.
 This was done in 1910 with but few county demonstrators. We want now demonstration in every county. As Alvin Prentice would say. All join hands and circle" This has become a national ques- ton. The last American congress appropriated $l5.ooO,ooOOo for this demonstration work, but with the state and district agents. farm CTS meetings and the many coun- ties to supply, J. A.. Evans. gov ernment special agent. informs me that only $55z.5o can be given to each of the counties in our state.
 He pledges himself to furnish this sum if we will raise $662 50 per county, making $1OOO.OO with which to pay county demonstra- tor for nine months work. The last legislature enacted a statute authorizing the Quorum court of each county to make an appropria- tion for payment of demonstra- tor. This court will meet in each county on the fourth Wednesday in October. See the county ju6ge and the justices of the peace and get them to appropriate the $662.- 50. Lawrence county assesses $5.OOO.OOO.OO in property For her county to make the appropria- tion would cost a taxpayer who assesses $1OOO,OO only SIPS. Leave off one quart of Sunny Brook and put up your part. No man, let his business be what it may, would complain at this con- tribution when he considers the thousands of dollars that the sale of the additional products would bring to our good stats. the better living, happier homes. more con- tented citizens, frolicsome children and better paid preachers we would have. Lets get demon strator for the education and as- sistance of the grown folks. Lets increase the crop of 1912.

THEO. PRICES COTTON PICKER.
-. A. Tompkins. Who Has Seen It.,
Favorably Impressed.
(Charlotte Obseryer.)

Among those who witnessed the
demonstration of the Price ampbell
cotton picker Friday was d. a.
Tompkins. An Observer representa-
tive obtained from him the following
statement Of his Impressions:
Zone Of the most attractive fields
OF invention now known is thai of
cotton picking. 1t costs the cotton
growing States from $l25,000.c 900 to
$780, 100000 annually to pick the
cotton crop. 1t is estimated that If
power can be economically applied to
this work there will be as great Il
saving as when it was applied to sew
ing through means OF the sowing ma
chine.
Some twenty years ago | invcsti-
gated the Mason cotton picker at
Sumter, S. G. The machine picked
cotton very well. 1t left about 10
per cent Of the cotton i'm the field.
Many of tho parts were too frail and
would not stand the rough work. |
think II enough money had been be-
mind 1t the machine might have been
developed to be practically economic
and useful. That was Il mulc- power
machine and was wonderfully ingeni-
Gus. {. I. Mason. the inventor, had
to give it up for lack Of funds to con-
time tho development.
'lt ever an invention gets to the
point where it Is commercially eco
nomical to buy and operate, then it's
weak spots are apt to be eliminated
Because every new machine sold
means that some good mechanic Is
going to make some improvements
on 1t. AS the machines multiply,
these improvements of many men be-
como cumulative and the machine
RAPIDLY improves in efficiency and in
lurability and in economy OF opera
ton.
Many Attempts.
"Since the Mason picker there have
been many attempts to put picker
on the market. Some Of them have
failed for want Of money, some by in
completeness Of design. MIR. Price S
machine leaves about 2ia per cent in
the field instead Of 10 per cent, as
Mason's did. The picking is practi-
cally as near as can be done by hand.
but little OF the cotton drops from
the picker, making the ~ per cent
referred to above.
"Mr. Price has the advantages and
disadvantages Of an automobile with
gasoline power, against Mason's mule
power. One Of the advantages is
cheap power, and one Of the disad-
vantages is carrying heavy machine
through plowed field.
"Mr. Price says that he has nine
machines sold in Texas working on a
commercial basis. AS soon as any
new machine gets to where it will
stay sold, it is more than apt then to
rapidly improve in efficiency and
economy
ut looks as though the present
machine Is going to stay on the mar
