INCREASES CROP YIELDS
Value of Cooperative Demon
stration Work on Farms
in South.

Great stress is laid upon the value Of
the farmers cooperative demonstration
work being carried on in the south by the
Department of Agriculture, in the annual
report TO DIR. B. T. Galloway. chief of the
bureau of plant industry, which has
charge of the work.
AS an instance he cites the fact that
tho average yield of cotton on demonstra-
ton farms was more than IS per cent
greater than the average yield of the
whole states. Even this" he adds
does not represent the full benefit Of the
work. because the cotton raised under
demonstration methods always shows a
better percentage of line than that grown
by ordinary methods"
Average in Corn.
Again, the average yield Of corn on the
demonstration farms. he points out,
showed an Increase of more than % per
cent over the average production under
| ordinary methods
Cooperative demonstration work, lie
| says, brought about widespread interest
ana greatly increased practice In main

| The most noteworthy feature of the
demonstration work in boll-weeviI terri
tory during the past year, he says has
been the pronounced success of large
number of demonstrators in raising cot
ton. He calls attention to the fact that
the departments method of producing
cotton under bollHweevil conditions is be-
ing fast adopted by the most intelligent
planters and farmers.

Change your sleeping ROOM" is the
advice often given to those who suf-

mended to change all our rooms peri
odically, and in this way get to know

in life, we are assured, would be
given to many, wen If they would only
make "house-tours" regularly; for
most Of us seldom expose our dwell
ings and consider their possibilities to
the fullest extent. Changing rooms
