time that Judge Carter will pre- side over that court, owing to the retirement from the bench of the jurist after many years of successful work.
 Immediately following the f. nal adjournment of the court, Judge Carter was rendered a re- ception by the members of the bar who have practiced before him for many years, and during the course of the evening in the address by the leading practic- tiOnerS, many testimonials were given Judge Carter in apprecia- tion of his ability as a jurist and his qualifications as a man.
 To the testimonials Judge Car ter responded in his most pleas ing manner, and at the close of the reception each lawyer pres ent shook hands with the depart ing jurist and wished him well in the resumption of his law practice.
 Judge George R. Haynie will assume the bench succeeding Judge Carter, and will probably be the trial judge to open the cir cult court in TeXarkana when the time arrives for that tribunal to convene.-TeXarkana Four State Press.

the most attractive features of the Arkansas building, and the plan under which these pictures are to be made, insures the peo- pie that they will see many things which are typical of Ark anSaS.
 The Arkansas Lumbermen's s Association has contracted for '2O0O feet of film which will show scenes in the Arkansas woods both in pine and hardwood tim Der, show the logging camp and |felling of the trees, then the mill and the final finishing of the lumber. The Arkansas Rice Growers Association will take 1000 feet. Various interests of Sebastian county have reserved 200O feet of the film, and scenes of the county will be selected to show gas wells, and many of the industries of the county. The Arkansas Horticultural Society as well as several other state or ganizatiOns are expected to pur- chase several thousand feet of the film so that the natural ad- vantages of the state may be shown to the world.
 The Arkansaw Travellers, the Travellers Protective Association of Arkansas, and the United Commercial Travellers who reside in Arkansas, are expected to raise funds which will permit the camera man going all over the state and making film which will show attractions of the state which would not be secured if the people of that vicinity were required to pay for the film.
 As Hot Springs is one of Ark ansas' leading attractions, the Valley of Vapors will be prom inently displayed in the movies, but no campaign for that purpose will be conducted until after the State Fair next Month.

WEEKLY LETTER OF CON-
 MISSIONER JOHN H. PAGE
For Past Eight Years Farm De- mOnstratiOn Work has Been Carried on in Ark. by
 U. S. Department.

U. S. DcpdTtIueHt.
 For the past eight years what
 has been known as farm demOn- stration work has been carried on in Arkansas under the direc- tion of the Agricultural Depart ment at Washington. Most of the counties have had one of the local County Agents at one time or another during the work. A great many farmers have culti- vated crops under the direction of these agents and have profited by it. A great many have mis- understood the work, and were led to believe that the plan was for the local demonstration agent to visit the farmers and teach them how to farm, according to the ideas of the local demonstra- tor. As l understand it this is
 not the case, but on the other
 hand the agent explains in detail the improved methods of the De- partment of Agriculture in seed selection, land preparation plant l ing and cultivation, and will un- dertake to visit the farm of any farmer who will agree to culti- vate a certain portion of his crop accordingly, these visits to crop frequent enough to meet all emergencies and give all infor- nation that may be required
 about the government methods.
 In addition the agent supplies
 bulletins and procures any infOr- nation and service from the gov ernment that is available. and
 gives his services free to those who undertake to try out new
 methods or new crops. The government plan is not one of eX- pertinent, but the result of many experiments made by the govern Iment in many parts of the Unit ed States.
 There is always a question in l the minds of some whether the government methods will pro- duce better yields for less labor and cost than individual meth ods. Sometimes they do not, ! for some of the individual farm CTS have as good methods as the government, or at least produce as good results. But when com pared with the average, there Is shown to be an absolute positive increase under the government methods. To illustrate this more Iforceibly I will refer to the result of the demontration work in this State in 1913. More than 1900 men tried the demonstration work in 1913. They cultivated about 13,000 acres of corn, that made an average yield of 25 bushels per acre; and about 2O,- IOOO acres of cotton that made an average of 104S pounds of seed cotton per acre. These demon strations were made in all parts of Arkansas, on all kinds of land and under all of the different prevailing weather conditions. | The government crop statistics for Arkansas for 1913 show that the average yield of corn was 20 bushels ner acre. and 5S3 pounds of seed cotton per acre, or a diff ference of 15 bushels of corn per acre and of 465 pounds of seed cotton per acre. These figures make their own argument.
 I know personally all of the County Agents. 1 never met a more faithful and earnest set of workers. 1 do not know what they have done this year, but l 1 feel that each one has done his
