RUSSIAN HEROISM

There is argument as to whether
PrzemysI has surrendered or not,
but there needn't be any about the
bravery of the Russian assallants,

bravery as follows:

Farm Demonstration Work.

For the past eight years what has been known as farm dem- onstration 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 this time, and thus the poole have been able to learn the nature of the work. A great many farm CTS have cultivated crops under the direction of these agents and have proftted by it. A great many have misunderstood 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 demonstrator.
 As I understand 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,

Old Glory Stands For All.

United Press Dispatch,
 Little Rock, Oct. 17.-That the United States is one nation, that no flag stands before Old Glory in the heart of any cltl- zens, was demonstrated in the discussion of placement for the veterans of the Union and Con- federate armies in the parade during the Confederate Reunion to be held in Little Rock, Nov. 3. 4 and 5. The meeting to con- plete the details for this parade was attended by Confederate Veterans, Sons of Veterans and Daughters of the Confectionery.
 After it had been reported that six battle scared Confed- crate flags would be in the pa rade, Gen. J. R. Gibbons, Com mander of the Arkansas Divis- ion of Confederate Veterans, arose and stated:
 "At the head of our proces- sion we will have the United States flag, that is our flag now, and we are one nation. We will follow it.

Nothing uncertain about the work of Doan's Kidney Pills in Newport. There is plenty of positive proof of this in the tes- timony of citizens. Such evil dence should convince the most .skeptical doubter. Read the following statement:
 Mrs. c. A. Arnett, 414 Laurel Street, Newport, says: "One of our family was troubled by a dull, steady ache over his kid neys. It was hard for him to lift anything or stoop He was stiff and lame when he got up mornings. He finally got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills at Wal ker's Pharmacy and they gave him great relief"

He plck-' led 1,183 pounds in twelve hoors and thirty-fve minutes. The first three hours he averaged 12O pounds an hour. In thirty minutes, from 4 to 4::3O o'clock, he picked 56 pounds.
 Rice is a member of the boys corn club of Randolph county, known as the largest corn club l in the United States. John k. Kizer, farm adviser, supervised the contest. The boy sold hls> cotton at 10 cents a pound. Pocahontas Star Herald.

planting and cultivation, and will undertake to visit the farm of any farmer who will agree to cultivate a certain portion of his crop accordingly, these vis- it's to be frequent enough to meet all emergencies and give all information that may be re- ouired about the government methods. In addition the agent supplies bulletins and procures any information and service from the government that is a. vailable, and gives his services free to those who undertake to try out new methods or new crops. The government plan is not one of experiment, but the result of many experiments made by the government ln many parts of the United States.
 There is always a question in the minds of some whether the government methods will pro- duce better yields for less la bor and cost than individual methods. Sometimes they do not, for some of the individual farmers have as good methods as the government, or at least produce as good results. But when compared with the average there is shown to be an absolute positive increase under the government methods.
 To illustrate this more forcibly I will refer to the result of the demonstration work in this state in 1913. More than 1,200 men tried the demonstration work in 1913. They cultivated about 13,O0O acres of corn, that made an average yield of 35 bushels per acre; and about 20,O00 acres of cotton that made an average of 1,048 pounds of seed cotton per acre. These de- monstrations 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 shows that the average yield of corn was 20 bushels per acre, and 583 pounds of seed cot ton per acre, or difference of I15 bushels of corn per acre and of 465 ounds of seed cotton per acre. These figures make their l own argument.
 I know personally all of the county agents. 1 never met a more faithful and earnest set of workers. I do not know what they have done this year, but l feel that each one has done his best, and will continue to do so if you will keep him in the work. The farmers chn derive great benefit from the demonstration work, and I hope to see the work continued in all the coun- ties that have it, and to see it extended to others. Continue the good work and cooperate with the local agent. He is Q good agricultural missionary, and will help your community.
