Fight Bales On Seven Acres.

Does it pay to farm according to the government demonstration methods? Ask Newton Adams, who lives about six miles west of Warren. His land was broken last fall and the cotton was planted in 5 p feet rows, and about 20 inches in the drill; he used $50 pounds of commercial fertilizer to the acre. He first ran his section harrow cross ways the rows and then choppee to stand. He then ussu sprlng- tooth 'ltivator and went over his crop sven times with it, taking fourteen hours to each cultivation. He cultivated his cotton in the late season when his neighbors were eating water melons? He gathered 1895 pou- nds of seed cotton to the acre, making 8 bales averaging t55 pounds to the bale. Does it pay to farm according to government instructions? Does it?-W Warren Democrat News.

Judge W. N. vantioOk for ReeleC ton.

In this issue of the News appears the announcement of Judge w. M VanHook of Fl Dorado as candi- date for reelection to the office of co.aty -~.d Jases sss2,5e to the action of the Democratic primary.
 When Judge VanHook went into office on the first of November, 1910, the county debt was over $53OOO. On the first Monday in October. 1913, all indebtedness was only about $95OO. Last July the financial statement of the county clerk, showed the county debt to be $4O8z.Oo. He told the people in 1910. that if elected he would Fay the entire debt hanging over the county in four years. He has practically redeemed tn t pledge in three years and by the first of next July the county will be on a cash oasis.
 This is the second time that Judge VanHook has put the county practically out of debt and he will appreciate very much filling the office when there is no debt, that he may use the money for public improvements in interest of the people. instead of paying debts.
 He favors the establishment of home for the poor and will estab- fish one if reelected, Tn a way that will be a great saving to the tax payers.
 He has built six steel bridges, the first ever built in the county. If elected again to this office, he expects 10 build at least eight more steel bridges as soon as he can reach them. The roads have been greatly improved also and it is his intention to have them in shape before long so that rural mail routes may be established in this county as in others of the state.
 None can deny that Judge Van Hook has made faithful servant of the people and he asks for re- election on his record and promises to give the same attention to the office in the future that he has in the past and will appreciate your vote at the coming primary.
