WORK OF COUNTY AGENTS
Some Results Accomplished on Arkansas
Farms Last Year Through Aid OF
County Agents Engaged in
Demonstration Work

On Wednesday next the levying
court of this county. as in all other
counties of the state, will meet Tor
the purpose of levying taxes for the
ensuing year. Among the various
questions to be presented for con-
sideration to these courts will be
the matter Of an appropriation to
assist in conducting the farm dem
Onstration work together with the
girls and women's work. In view
of the great Importance Of this work
and the lack of information by many
of our readers as to the vast results
that have been accomplished the fol-
lowing figures compiled by the Ar
kansas College of Agriculture should
be of special interest at this time.
In 1914 Demonstration work was
carried on by hfty.fve counties the
area cultivated under the supervl-
sion of the agents being 66,923
acres, Ala demonstrators being
engaged. Nine hundred and seventy
one demonstrators, growing corn,
cultivated 10000 acres. making an
average yield of % bushels per acre,
as compared to IS bushels for the
state. In the cultivation OF cotton
S92 demonstrators cultivated II sos
acres and made an average yield
per acre Of 1,12S pounds, as COM
pared to 524 pounds, the average
Weld cf the state.
One hundred and four demonstra-
tors, cultivating 80, 100 acres, grow
ing various other crops under the in
struction of county agent, make av-
erage yield as follows: Oats, +5.6
bushels; Cowpeas. 1856 lbs; Sweet
potatoes, 2O7 bushels; Irish potato
es, 1873 bushels; peanut hay, 4,13O
lbs; Soy Beans, 1860 lbs, Cantel,
opes, III crates; Kaffir Corn, %
bushels.
In the Boys Corn Club, 2,1OO
members participated and made an
average yield of 3S6 bushels per acre
the highest yield being l42 bushels.
In the Cotton Club $40 boys took
part the highest yield being 1,767
pounds, with an average yield for
the 449 of 1927 pounds.
In view of the facts set out above
is it not high time when good judg-
ment demands that this county, one
of the few counties in the state in
which no Demonstration Work was
carried on last year, lay aside any
doubt and don the spirit of hearty
cooperation with all those who are
paid to transmit the truth learned
by experiments and especially to
agree when we have so many practi.
cal examples of scientific farming in
large majority of the counties of
the state.

capacity of the cave and if the pos

far. It will be remembered that the

The Meter.

One of our readers who has been
studying the question closely says
that the Electric Meter is to
mechanism what Baron Munchausen
is to literature. 1t is inaccuracy
protected by patent. 1t is also
the nearest approach to perpetual
motion vet discovered. Leave a
meter absolutely alone in a deserted
house for months at time and it
will work quietly, but faithfully,
without stopping even for meals.
The meter is used by Light COM
panies to prove that the consumer
has been burning his lights all night.
1t is a small box with face and
hands like a clock. Here the
resemblance stops, however. You
cannot turn the meter back and it
does not run down. 1t does you no
good to neglet the meter. 1t keeps
on going anyway. The man who
will patent an attachment which
will enable a man to stop his meter
by forgetting to wind it will earn
the gratitude of everybody with a
meter in their house. .
