WHAT WAS DONE ON
 TWO HILL ACRES
BARRIERS COOPERATIVE DEMON
 STRATION WORK PRESENTS CONVINCING EXAMPLE.
Corn. Peas and Rye Grown and Then the Two Acres Yielded Two
 Bales of Cotton.

What may at first be considered as an extreme case but which in reality is not uncommon and shows the great benefit of the farmers co-op-' erative demonstration work i'll Jeffer- son county has just come to notice and is worthy of more than passing comment, the actual test having been on d hill farm few miles from Pine Bluff.
 Here is the story, rather the facts, relating to two acres of hill cotton land, the preparation of the ground, the cultivation and results of the year 1912:
 The particular two acres referred to had been cropped almost contlnu- ously with cotton for the past thirty years. During the season of 1911 it was planted in corn, with peas driii- ed in between the rows immediately after cultivation the last time. All 1 ter the corn and peas weie gathered
 in the fall of 1911 the cornstaiks were
 
 broken down with drag, the disc be- ing followed by 14-inch turning
 blow and immediately following the
 furrow of the turning blow was 3-
 inch bull tongue subsoilins to a
 depth of nine or ten inches. The ,. blot was then seeded to rye which was grazed during the winter months
 by stock
 In April the rye was turned under | and the ground was planted with 1 triumph cotton in rows four Iee' apart. The cotton was finally chop ped to q stand of 20 to 2 inches, but l on account of the lateness of the sea
 son the stand was far from perfect
 The cotton was cultivated with d two ,. horse cultivator until too high fol this implement, then with l3-tooth . one-horse orchard eultivator until tho !, bolls were we'll formed. The yielt n was 500-bale of cotton for eacl f acre.
 e Such instances as the one jus q pointed out furnish the only argu ). ment needed as to the actual returns : to the county hy it's investment il
