QUITMAN. Ca, March 2.-One CT
the most important factors in agricul-
tural progress in this country is the
cooperative demonstration work being
done under the direction Of the gov
eminent department Of agriculture
Lasa spring the work was first inau-
gurated in the county and % farmers
agreed to join, the plan being for each
farmer to agree to plant and cultivate
enc acre or more, under the direction
of the department Only corn and
cotton were thus experimental with
The result of these actual demonstra-
tions of the value of certain meth DDS
of cultivation were so wonderful thet
each of the farmers who did the work
last year are firm converts to these
methods and are enrolled with the dem
onstrators again this year, along with
II others, making So in all.
The average yield of corn per acre
in this county is about 16 bushels; tire
average yield of corn obtained by the
farmers who agreed to practice the
method advised by the department was
80 bushels. w. H. Thomas. of Pidcocl1
made so bushels per acre on II acres
and declares he will make 75 bushels
per acre on 16 acres this year. The
yield of cotton was in every case dou-
BILE the usual amount.
This actual demonstration by the
farmers themselves is of more value
than any amount of printed informa-
ton distributed among them could pos
sibly be. w. w. Rast, of Pidcock, is
the county agent in this demonstration
work and is himself farmer of the
most progressive type. Next week 9
two days meeting of the county agents
of this district will be held in Albany
and Mr.. Rast will carry an interesting
Ieport of the work in this county

an impetus to boys corn club move
ments and a club has recently beer
organized with 81 members.

not wish you to give up your present

only want your name connected with

filled the Grand opera house last

Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Bren. and it was the
same joyous and happy crowd that
filed cut again after two hours Of
wholesome fun, mirth and entertain
ment furnished by select cast Of Tul-
that it might easily be classed as
among attractions by professionals.
An amateur show is usually enjoyed
most when the performers forget
their lines, make wrong exits, forget
to leave the stage at the proper time,
fall down in the middle of a dance,
or the red fire fails to go off at the
psychological moment, but the enjoy
ment of last nights attraction was
due to none of these, although the
friends of the performers made a few
Intellectual efforts to contribute to the
gayety of the occasion by getting them
ratified. They steadfastly refused to
be rattled and pulled off one Of the
best shows that Tulsa has ever wit
messed.
The star parts in the performance
were well sustained by Mrs. Howard
Kiser, Miss Elizabeth Dickey Charles
Roster, Myron Mather, l.. n. Ewing.

were:
