strators in corn, 1,520 demonstrators in cotton-a total of 2,974 farmers whom they visited regularly" says Mir Watson in his report. These g. 974 demonstrators had 16,258 acres in corn and 25,9l0 acres in cotton, or total of 42,16S acres. making the average size of the demonstration plats IA 1-5 acres per demonstrator In addition to the 2,974 demonstrators the local agents had on their lists 10,4O7 co-operators, whom they are not re- quired to visit regularly, but who re- ceive the department literature and advice from the agents. Hence the demonstration force was in touch with 13,3S1 farmers in the state during the year 1913
 On the 16.25S acres in corn under demonstration methods last year ESQ., S0l bushels were produced, an average of 34 l-2 bushels per acre. On the 25,9l0 acres in cotton were produced 27,516,420 pounds of seed cotton. an average of 1,062 pounds per acre. These average yields of both corn and cotton are larger than the averages obtained under demonstration methods last year, and this was accomplished in spite of an unusually severe and ex- tended drouth and heavy boil weevil lnrestatlon, indicating that demonstra- ton methods are effective in getting good results in the face of unfavorable u, na tbar dations Also, the average yields were obtained from every character of soil, upland and bottom, varying in fertility rom very poor to rich and embracing every section of the state.
 Shows Gain of IA Bushels. The average corn yield per acre for | Arkansas, as shown by the Year Book Of the Department of Agriculture for 1912 was 20 1-2 bushels. It is fair to presume that the average yield for the state last year was not greater than this, but the average yield on the demonstration farms was 34 1-2 bush els per acre, net gain of 14 bushels, or total of 227,612 bushels for the
 
 ods. Figuring this increased yield at 70 cents per bushel, we have net gain of $9,S0 per acre or total gain of $159, ,328,40 for the total demonstra- ton acreage over the ordinary yields
 The average yield of cotton per acre for Arkansas, obtained as above was 570 pounds for 1912 The average yield on the demonstration farms was l.062 pounds per acre. net gain of 492 pounds per acre or total of 12,- 747720 pounds. Thirding this for lint and figuring the increased yield at 10 cents per pound we have a net gain of $l6.40 per acre or total of $429,- 924 for the 25.910 acres under demon stration methods over the ordinary yields.
 The total amount contributed by the people of Arkansas, quorum courts and otherwise, for last year, was s53,- 013.37. The increased earnings of the demonstration acreage over the ordi- nary yields was S159,32S.40 on corn and s424,S24 on cotton, or a total of $5S4, 4,252.40. Hence it is shown that for every 5 expended by the people in fostering demonstration work moro than Sl1 has been returned-more than HOO per cent on the amount in- vested"

What it Means to State.

Tn showing the value of this work, MT Jernigan points out that the corn club boys have made an average of g bushels more per acre than those using old methods and that gain of 25 bushels an acre on the 2,475,0 ,000 acres planted in corn in Arkansas in 1913, would mean an increase of Gt,- S15,o00 bushels of corn for the state, If every acre were worked under de monstration club methods. At 70 cents a bushel this would mean an annual increase of S43,312500 in the value of the states corn crop. Tn the same way the cotton crop would show a gain of s4Oo0O.0Oo if every acre of cotton were grown under de monstratiou club methods.
 C. W. Watson, who is in charge of the farm demonstration work in Ark ansas, Of which the boys and girls club work is a part, has also compiled report which shows that remarkable results have been obtained during the past year hv the farmers who have been employing the methods adyocat ed by the government experts.
 During the past year there have been 70 local agents in the various coun ties working in direct con act with the farmers ard conducting farm oper ations along the lines of scientific agri culture prescribed by the Departmen' of Agriculture Mir.

Arkansas has the honor of having a girl who holds the record of having made the greatest net profit of any girl in the 12 Southern states in whlch the club work has been conducted, ac- cording to information received from the Department of Agriculture at Washington. The girl is Miss Fay Parker of Beebe, who made a net profit of $152.S3 on one-tenth of an

VICTIMS TRAPPED
AFTER HOLD-UP
Armed Bandits Rob Four in
Store, Then Lock Door and
Flee in Auto.

Four men alighted from an automo-
bile and entered the establishment of
Joseph Kanerick. an importer of laces,
at 81 Orchard ST., about s o'clock last
night. In the store was the proprietor,
conversing with three friends, David
Schurman, of 226 Eldridge ST.; Jake
Clark, of SO Essex St, and Bernard
Leibow, of the same address.
The visitors interrupted the chat by
arking to be shown some laces, and as
the proprietor was about to comply the
intruders suddenly drew revolvers and
lined Kanerick and his friends up
against the wall. From Schurman the
nold-up men secured SIC in cash, a
lady's watch valued at $40 and his own
timepiece, worth SIS. Clark was forced
to hand over a watch worth S55 and
500 in money, while Leibow contrib
uted S24 in small bills to the visitors.
Kanerick, the proprietor of the place,
who had just sent home $175, had only
81 in his possession, which was snatch
ed from him by one of the robbers.
The thieves, upon leaving the store,
fastened the paddock, thus trapping
their four victims, while they made
their escape in the touring car. The
shouts of Kanerick and his companions
finally attracted the attention of Pa
trolman Kenney, who released them.
Detectives Shine and Mundow were
assigned to the case, and after inves-
