PRICE. $1 PER YEAR
County Demonstration Work.
El Dorado. Ark., Jan. 7, 1913.
Mr. Editor:
As quite a number of people are
inquiring as to how the Demon
station work came out the past
year in Union county, 1 send to you
for publication the following re
sults:
Forty-five corn demonstrations
variously located on every kind of
soil in the county from the poorest
to probably the best, comprising
127.46 acres, produced an aver
age yield of 30.49 bushels. Ten
of these demonstrators made an
average of 55.2 bushels per acre
on 22.75 acres. On the 45 corn
demonstrations 30 used some form
of commercial fertilizer, and 1 0 of
these used either barnyard manure
or cottonseed with commercial
fertilizer, five used barnyard alone,
two used cottonseed alone, and
eight did not use any of these.
The average county yield on simi
lar land worked in the old way is
13.75 bushels per acre. Thus it
it seen that demonstration methods
produced 16.74 bushels more per
acre than the old metheds. Plac
ing a value of 85 cents per bushel
on this corn the increase is worth
$ 14.23 per acre, and on 127.46
acres the value of the increase in
production is $1813.62, besides
the large number of acres in addi
tion that were affected by the im
proved methods of culture.
Sixty four cotton demonstrations
similarly located on different class
es of soil comprising 271.32 acres
produced and average of 1020.6
pounds of seed cotton per acre, an
increase of 494.6 pounds acre over
the county average of 526 pounds
per acre on similar land with ordi
nary cultivation. This increase,
counting 35 per cent lint (it will
likely run above this) and estimat
ing lint at 1 1 cents per pound and
seed at $20 per ton, is worth $4.
134.55 on the 27 1.32 acres to say
nothing of the vast number of
acres affected by the application of
modern methods resulting from
demonstration ideas. 40 of these
cotton demonstrators used com
mercial fertilizer alone. 3 used
commercial fertilizer and barnyard
manure, 7 used barnyara alone and i
14 used none of these. These
cotton results are 50 per cent i
above last year.
Yours truly,
A. P. Reynolds.

The YUS 1912.
By George Fitch. Copyrighted by
George Mathew Adarns.
; The 1 91 2th year since 'the world
j stopped counting backward and be
; gan to look forward has just drawn
i to a close and has been complete
! on schedule time without any hitch
whatever.
For many centuries the years;
have been Completed exactly on
time. This is a fine illustration of
the excellence of the organization
of the universe, but a sad reflection
on the modern hotel which cannot
get up a 35 plate banquet and
serve it before the soup is cold.
The year 1912 was one of the
long 366 day models and was suc
cessfully negotiated by upwards of
1,500,000.000 people. Upwards;
of 30.000,000 human beings re-'!
tired from the universe during the
year, while about 35.000,000 new
members of society were admitted.
This shows a satisfactory growth
and should encourage the building
of a large number of new automo
bile garages during the next year.
The year 1912 was one of the
most inadequately heated years of
recent times. The thermometer
remained persistantly at zero until
March. Over 1.000 theatical
companies were frostbitten before
June. Wood fires were comfort
able in July and in November the
greatest snow in the history of
America fell, completely burying
the largest president and the most
terrific ex-president the country
his ever had.
The year 1912 saw great prog
ress in many ways. Aviators, of
fice buildings, the price of gasoline
and the cost of living reached
hitherto untouched altitudes and
automobles became so cheap that
no man with $500 will be safe
henceforth. It was a healthy year
for kings, the death rate being very ;
low, but the most disastrous year
on record for the Republican party
with a loud report in June and has
remained enthusiastically and in
flexibly in fragment ever since.
In 1912 science discovered that
icebergs are impervious to steam
ships even when rammed at fuli
speed. Andrew Carnegie got
poorer in 1912 but so many other
magnets got richer that the slack
was Phore than taken up. The art
of murder was coi siderably im
proved during the ypar in New
York and many well dressed young
men achieved fame by the frank
and above-board way in which they
eradicated each other.
The year 1 912 not only achieved
considerable local fame but will be
remembered in history for many
thousand years. It will be one of
the dates which the tired school
boy of the years 2500 will be re
quired to remember because of the
'.wakening of China, the putting to
sleep of Turkey and the surround
ing and capture of the South Pole.
