(By T. Nj, Mills.)

Demonstration work was begun in
Newberry county in 1908, with Mr.. H.
H. Abrams county agent. The work
then consisted in getting number o.
farmers to select one or two acres as
a demonstration plot and see how
much cotton or corn they could raise
on a single acre. Some of the results
were really surprising, and this began
to open the eyes Of the people to d
realization of the fact that they need
not cultivate two acres to produce
what could easily be produced on one
acre.
Nr. Abrams only served as agent
one year, when he resigned and Mr..
S. NJ. Duncan received the appoint
ment and served five years.
During Mr.. Duncan's term of service
the work became well rooted in New
berry county. The growing of legumes
(clo;ers and vetch) was encouraged,
and the last year Mr.. Duncan served
he won the prize offered to the county
agent who should succeed in getting

the greatest amount of clover and
vetch seed saved.
The Boys Corn club was organized
in Newberry county in 1911, under the
supervision OF the county superintend-
ent of education. 1t remained under
his supervision a few years and, find
ing 2e did not have time to give it
the attention it should have, the work
was put in the hands of the county
demonstration agent, who still has it
under his direct supervision.
The club work mas been very sue
cessful and is still growing in favor
and results.
Truly "a child shall lead them" This
has been true in the production of
corn Several of the boys have pro-
dueed more than 100 bushels per acre,
and the average produced by the boys
more than doubles the average per
acre of the state.
And among the Corn club boys will
be found some of the best judges of
corn to be found in the county. They
know now to grow good corn and also
know how to select it after it has been
grown. This was proven at the State
fair this year. Only nine prizes were
offered the Corn club boys in the state
and the Newberry county boys won
four Of them.
In January, 1914, Mr.. Duncan re-
signed as demonstration agent to ac-
cert ether work, and Mr. Il. N. Mills
was appointed agent in March follow

spring. By this practice and the use
of barnyard manure our crops have
been greatly increased and at the same
time the fertility of our soil has been
materially improved, getting better
each year.
This year We have gathered from
several demonstration plots as much as
40 to As bushels Of corn per acre, with
no fertilizer at all being used
This was grown on upland, not bot
toms and was planted after having
thoroughly disked and turned good

This is new farming for Newberry
county, but old farming for other
sections.
Hog Cholera.
Another duty that has been added to
those of the demonstration agent is
the watching up and control of nog
cholera.

loss in the hog raising industry and
has been one of its main hindrances

We, all of which are fakes and per-
fectly worthless.
There is no hog cholera cure known

preventive, and that is the hog chol-
era serum. The demonstration agent
has iuoculated more than a hundred
hogs (yalued to twelve and fifteen
hundred dollars) this year with good
success, and hopes within few years,
with the cooperation of the farmers
entnely stamp out this disease.
Orchards.
We have also taken up the work Of
pruning and spraying fruit trees. This
is new phase of the work just begun
last year but several hundred trees
we're Iruned and sprayed in the coun-
tv LAST season and we hope to do much
more work along this line during the
coming winter and spring. We have
also made arrangements with certain
nurseries to furnish US trees at whole
sale price, so the cost of putting out
a new orchard will be reduced 100i
to $50 per cent at least

near future.
Live Stock.
Believing t.iat no one can success
fully farm without live stock, we are
encouraging the farmers to raise more
live stock and better live stock
The tick has gone from Newberry
county, and with him. or following
close after, will go the scrub cattle,
Ne are teaching the farmer by prac-
teal demonstration that it costs just
as mucl to feed a scrub calf as it does
to feed a pure bred calf, while the
returns from the scrub are oftentimes
not more than half what they are from
the pure bred.
The bu mess men and bankers have
become interested in this work and By
way of encourag agement, some pure bred
bulls have been bought by them for
use Of the farmers in breeding up their
herd.
The Live Stock association Of New
berry county, recently organized, has
also encouraged better live stock, and
as a result Is or 20 pure bred regis
tered beef type cattle have been
brought into Newberry county this
year, and we have orders for more,
which we cope to supply soon.
In connection with Ii stock We are
encouraging and establishing better
permanent pastures, without which
live stock can rot be raised proftably.
Farmers Exchange.
This is another new feature to dem
onstration work. Through the courtesy
of Col. E. H. Aull, a column in The
Herald and News has been offered to
the farmers as a medium of informa-
ton. They have the privilege Of ad-
vertising anything they have raised
and have for sale, or am want-free
of charge. This service has already
accomplished much for the farmers.
but will be of more benefit when it be-
comes more generally used.
Plant Breeding.
A Plant Breeders association was
recently organized in the county, look
ing toward the breeding of better seed
The general habit of going to the corn
crib to select seed corn or to the cot
ton seed pile to get planting seed is
very unwise and is costing the farmers
much money by producing poor yields.
We have established one corn breed
ing station on the farm of Mr.. Welch
Wilbur, where We are going to try out
several different varieties of corn ami
aim to select the one or ones most
suited to this section of country and
then encourage the planting and breed
ing of these varieties. Besides this,
We will encourage the Improvement OF
other seed. such as wheat, oats, cot
ton, etc. Good seed pay just as we'll
as pure bred stock.
Teaching Agriculture in the Schools.
Three years ago a movement was
started in the state to establish dem

each co&nty. Two suca plots are YET
being worked in Newberry county,
with very good results. These plots
afford an opportunity Of doing practi-
cal field work in connection with the
class room work. In addition, the
demonstration forces have gotten out
a text book especially adapted to the
needs OF the farm and school to be
introduced into the schools. A number

 A visit to the auction houses zles- ignated revealed the fact that Kyle Anderson had been bringing or hay ing brought regular Saturday con tributiOns to be sold by the auc- tiOneers on commission. Anderson was described to the police who soon afterwards picked him up as he was crossing the Library Plaza on his way to collect from one of the auction houses.
 Taken to the police station the lad said that he lived not far from the Marshall house and several weeks ago had noticed that nobody seemed to be living there. He visited the house one evening gaining entrance from the rear. Shortly afterwards he removed the first goods On one occasion he removed only a valuable rug which sold for ten dollars. netting him nine dollars. Another time he sent four chairs and writing desk to the commission house. Dressers, sofas. entire bed room suits. other rugs and prac- tically everything movable in the house came in for attention. Each Saturday morning he had a wagon or two on hand.
 His attempt to double up Saturday morning resulted in the suspicion of neighbors being aroused and his ar rest was soon effected. He will probably be turned over to the juv- chile court.

WOMEN IN THE NEWS

Montreal.-Lady DrummOnd, one oi the most famous of Canadian women is now a grandmother. A son has been born to t1e widow of Capt Guy Drummond, the only son of Lady Drummond. The gallant cap tain was killed at the front, but his posthumous child will carry forth the great name of Drummond, so dear to Canadian women. Lady Drummond has received the news at the London hospital where she is engaged in Red Cross work. The grief over the loss of her only son is assuaged by the news that was sent last week by his widow. Lady Drummond organized charity bureaus in Montreal, and was the first presi- dent of the Monreal Council of Women. She was for many years prominent in the movement for woman suffrage. and lent her aid ungrudgingly to every movement for the betterment of her sex. Her son fell at St Julien. while rallying the fleeing Turcos who were falling bank in confusion before the deadly gases from the German front.

One of the most interesting features of this fortnight is the prac- tical instruction which is given The added facilities in the new agricul- ture building will make possible in struction which it has been impos- sible to give in previous years. The Judging courses in particular will be of great interest to every farmer; thus with corn and the gain SOrghums the farmers will be instructed as to the points used in judging these crops. They will be provided with score cards. and after the preliminary in struction has been given, every farm CT will be required to judge certain ears of. corn and heads of the grain sorghums themselves under the super vision of the professors in charge.

BANKER AND FARMER
 MEET NEXT MONTH
Agricultural Professors Will Meet State Bankers at Castle
 Hot Springs.

At the twelfth annual convention of the Arizona Bankers Association, which will be held at Castle Hot Springs on November F and 13, Pro lessor Stanley F. Morse, superintend- ent U. of A. agricultural extension service and state leader, L. s. D. A., will deliver an address on The Ari- zona Banker and Agricultural Devel- opment." In a new state like Arizona everything possible should be done to develop it's natural resources. While much boosting of the agricultural pos
 abilities of the state has been carried on, this has resulted largely in the attracting of many new settlers who come expecting to make a fortune without sufficient capital. Many of these new settlers are very capable men, but are unable to develop their ranches because of this lack of funds. It is believed that the agricultural de- velopment of the state might be great ly hastened if everybody concerned would do their utmost to help these new settlers succeed. In other states of the union the bankers are very active in assisting the farmers to
