POSSIBILITIES OF
ARKANSAS LANDS

The great possibilities Of low
priced Arkansas lands for grain pro

demonstration farm at Hope, Ark,
with both wheat and oats during
the past year. The wheat yields
averaged 20 bushels per acre and
oats % bushels per acre. A test
field, put in for comparison. OF
Fulgrum oats and winter turf oats
showed a yield Of n bushels per
acre of the Fulgrum oats and 81
bushels per acre Of the winter turf
oats. Other fields OF winter turf
oats yielded respectively 50 bushels
per acre, 10 bushels per acre, "a
bushels per acre. The lowest yield
was 81 bushels per acre.

farm at Hope was started on piece
of land that had been IN cotton

into the cave, curiously uncertain
whether she dared to go in alone or
not.
The emissary jerked fiercely at the
lever as he saw Elaine.
Above the falls a dam had been
built and by system of levers the
gates could be operated so that the
water could be thrown over the falls
or diverted away, at will. AS the man
pressed the lever the food gates
worked quickly.
Elaine stood gazing eagerly into the
blackness of the cave. Just then a
great volume of water from above
crashed down on her, with almost
crushing weight.
How she lived through it she never
knew. But, fortunately, she had not
gone quite far enough to get the full
force of the water. Still, the terrific
flood easily overcame her. 10

stopped suddenly. There was house

not quite concealed by the dense foil

an exclamation of satisfaction, hand
