EXTENSION WORK
Report Furnished Secretary
Wilson of United States
Department Of Agricul-
ture- Much Good Work
Accomplished in Louisiana

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2O.-Sec
rotary Wilson has received the fol
lowing report on Department Dem
onstration Work in Louisiana:
Work is being carried on more o
less extensively in A parishes of tn
State.
There are over $4,000 acres in &C
tual corn demonstrations. Thes,
demonstrations are located in all sec
lions OF the State and on soils tha
vary in fertility from the deep, sand,
uplands to the rich river bottoms
On this large acreage in a year O.
great drouth and intense heat durins
the growing season, the dcmonstra
ton average is 80 bushels of corr
to the acre. The estimated State
average will not be over Is bushel:
to the acre.
On nearly $4,000 acres of cottor
der onstration the average yield is
S14 pounds of seed cotton per acre
under boil weevil conditions. A
large part of this acreage was on al.
luVlal soils under heavy rainfall from
June 25th until late in Septem Der
The weevil infestation of these al
luvlal soils began early as May 18th
One OF our travelling agents had over
o,OOO acres In cotton demonstration
included in the above total, On al
luvlal soils that averaged 1,248
pounds OF seed cotton to the acre.
These yields prove conclusively that
demonstration methods of prepare
ton, good seed and cultivation, COM
bined with the persistent fighting of
the weevil both as adults and in the
squares, will make a profitable crop
under any reasonable weather con-
ditions.
These results in cotton and. corn
are actual tabulated stats les of the
demonstration work in Louisiana.
Outside of thees regular demon
strations, the agents have for the
past five or six years, under DIR. S. A.
knapp's leadership, peTsistently urg-
ed the small and large farmers both
to raise standard crops outside of
cotton and corn, such as oats, hay
and livestock. The State of Lou
isiana is fast developing from where
II mad three staple crops, sugar cane,
rice and cotton, to- where it is a
state of diversified agriculture.
The census returns of 1910 show that
Louisiana is beginning to take rank
In agricultural work, in the raising
OF hay, livestock, including hogs.
cattle and horses, the raising of pea
nuts and the production of all sup
plies for the home on the farm.
While the demonstration work does !
not claim credit for all Of this in
crease in crops and better methods. |
yet 1t has done a very large part Of |
the work.

Chicago Union Stock Yards, June
26.-Hopes and expectations of the
packers were realized today when
fresh arrivals totaled full 5000 more
than most liberal estimates made
yesterday. This added to the stale
ones left over from yesterday made
nearly 10000 hogs in the pens when
almost double the number that came
in last Wednesday. Packers were
jubilant and sat on the fence early
and allowed eastern buyers to make
their selections at a big nickel to a
dime under Tuesdays average.
Statesmen and spectators tried hard
to stem the tide, but the latter were
not buyers, they were endavoring to
protect themselves in their big sup.
ply on hand purchased earlier in the
week. After eastern buyers were
satisfied local packers became fairly
active and bought literally at full 10
cents below Yesterdays average. A
large left over however at the close
and prospects are fair for still further
reduction tomorrow.
The bulk sold at $735m7.55 against
$750d77O yesterday; $735675O last
Wednesday; $74O@75O four weeks
ago: $61566.35 corresponding Wed,
nesday in 1911: $91OG925 in 1910;
$7.eO@7S5 in 1909 and $625@6.5O in
1908.
The top paid today was 1855 with
rumor of sale at $3.50; yesterday
$40; last Wednesday $752k; four
weeks ago s7.57k; a year ago S6.45;
two years ago $9.45; three years ago
$S.O5. and four years ago today $685.
Cattle receipts today were excess
i've, being a third more than antici
pated, but the run was not overbur
dened with choice ones however. and
as buyers, both local and eastern
purchased all choice fat steers at
prices steady with yesterday and
Monday. Inferior grades were neg,
| lected and sold with much difficulty
at from 10 to % cents decline GOOD
heavy feeders are somewhat scarce
and what do come in are generally
picked up by the killers. Light
grassy stuff is getting very numerous
and is hard to sell as demand is very

Sheep and lamb receipts were ex
cessive again today and were withou
quality. 5000 more than estimated
came in, and 1t was dull and veal

off except possibly a few choice
spring lambs.
