VALUE OF INCREASED PRO.
DUCTION OF COTTON
AND CORN.

Examining the results Of Demon
stration Work in Louisiana for
the year 1911, we find the follow
ing comparisons:
1919 cotton demonstrators re-
ported on 33, ,C22 acres, an average
of l9.1 acres for each demonstra-
tor. On this acreage they pro
duced an average yield of | l,O63. )
pounds of seed cotton per acr,
and a total of 35, ,120.291 pounds.
The average yeild Of co ton in
Louis ana as estimated by the
Bureau of Statistics, December
II, 1911, was 522 pounds. Thus
is appears that the Demonstra-
iton methods produced an increase
Of 1O4 per cent. or 541.5 pounds
per acre above ordinary methods
A. a valuation Of $500 per hun
dred this increase amounts to
$16.24 per acre, or $536,27728 oa
the 33,022 acres reported.
1916 corn demonstrators report
ed on 16,7 acres. an average OF
1873 acres for each demonstration.
They secured an average yield Of
28.6 bushels Of shelled corn PEI
acre, or total production of
479, 1913 bushels. The average
yield Of corn for Louisiana in
1911 as reported by the Bureau
of Statistics was 1S.5 bushels per
acre. This shows an increase un.
der Demonstration methods of 54
per cent Or 10.1 bushels per acre,
which a. 20 cents per bsshei,
shows an increased value of $7.07
per acre, or $128,755.81 on the
1878 acres reported.
Combining results on these two
crops, we find total Of 1865 ,033. :
90 representing the value of in
creased production of cotton and
corn in Louisiana, due to Demon
stration methods on 49, 9,805 acres
reported for the year 1911.
In addition 10 the work report
ed above there were over $500
Demonstrators and Cooperators
in Louisiana, in 1911, following
DEMONSTRATION methods, whose
reports are not available.
Demonstration Work Advancing
Year by Year in Louisiana.
Demonstration Work in Louis
lana has been advancing year by
year both in acreage under cultir
vatron and in proportion of yields
obtained under Demonstrate
Methods Ito those obtained under
ordinary methods.
In 1910 there were ,492 cotton
demonstrators reporting on 49,
O58 acres an average yield of
1858 pounds seed cotton per acre.
In 1911 there were 1875 demon
strators reporting on 33,022 acres,
an average yield of ,O63.5 pounds
per acre.
With corn in 1910 There were
1,1O2 demonstrators reporting on
1910 acres an average yield of
35.2 bushels Of shelled corn per
aere. In 1911 there were 1916
demonstrators reporting, under
very unfavorable conditions, on
