DEMONSTRATION WORK.

Dear Editor;
 Please allow me space in your paper to make an announcement con- |cerning the demonstration work. This work is carried on by the College of Agriculture of the University of Ar kansas and the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, cooperating.
 Our state agent is Mir. Watson, and under him are three district agents. Nevada county is in Mir Harry F. Kapp's district.
 Over several specific phases of work are specialists who supervises the work in general and help the county agents solve the hard problems they meet with. Miss Archer is state home demonstration agent; Mir. Jernigan has charge of the corn club; Mr. San ders the pib club, and Dr. Gibson has the hog cholera work. Then we have men in charge of tick eradication, dip- ping vat solutions, horticulture and live stock.
 Miss Griswold and I desire to visit the schools and talk to the boys and girls concerning the club work and at the same time meet as many other people as possible. We solicit the CO., operation of the teachers in this work. If you, as teacher, are interested. let us hear from you as to the pros pect in your school for the club work. If you are not interested get interested for the sake of those whom you serve.
 As soon as possible I shall begin terracing land. Some have already arranged for this work-others who need the work should let me hear from them. If you have hogs to vaccinate, see me. l shall also vaccinate cattle for black leg when necessary.
 We appreciate the interest manifest ed in the work by the farmers and the hearty welcome accorded us by the good people of Prescott.
 Yours for greater progress,
 M. c. FERGUSON.

The motor truck as means of com mercial transportation is becoming recog- nized throughout the country as the greatest efficiency method known to man, according to B. s. Whitgreaves of the Smith Form-a- Truck Sales company.
 The strides in the motor truck indus try during the past few years have been marvellous" said MT. Whitgreaves. '"The motor truck is being used widely not only in the commercial world, but in the official military field.
 The Panama canal, costing well to- ward s500,00O,000, was primarily built as means of defense. That is in case of attack from either the east or the west it was thought we could double our fleet on either ocean or for the general case of an attack by one nation quad duple our fleet. To make this protec- tion a success it will be necessary to defend the canal. Among army officers 1t is thought that at least a division Is necessary on the zone-20000 troops.
 Tn the near future the government will commence construction of system of roads to supply these troops in the field adjacent to the zone, for while the entrance to the canal Is defended. it would only be necessary for a for eign force to be landed 20 miles from the zone and take the canal in the flank and
