The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1915-10-21


Burt was received and ordered filed:
To the Police Jury of Bossier Parish.
Since my report of July 10th, l have
made 200 official visits to demonstrators
and co-operators, travelling 1913 miles by
team and 562 by rail, part Of which was
when I attended the meeting of the
agents held in Baton Rouge.
l have written twenty three letters
and mailed twenty-four special circular
letters.
Mr.. P. v. Gardin of Washington and
l visited on two plats of DR.. Cooks
single-stalk culture of cotton, and he
was well pleased.
Mr.. w. B. Mercier, Field Agent from
Washington, and District Agent J. W.
Whitaker made a trip with me to look
over some demonstration plats OF corn.
These plats were of the 6-foot row meth
cd. They were pleased with the results,
as this method solves the problem of
more corn in the future. We estimated
these crops from 40 to so bushels per
acre.
The demonstration oat crops this year
are better by so per cent than those by
the old method, and corn in about the
same proportion.
Under the demonstration work there is
more fall and winter blowing done than
ever before.
We are getting more farmers interest
ed in better live stock and more of every
thing to feed them on. Ii the demon
stration methods are carried out fully we
will absolutely eradicate hog cholera and
cattle ticks. Yours respectfully,
E. S. BURT, Agent.
