Genera! Summary of Club Work in Arkansas
for 1913.
The Boy's Corn Club work was
conducted in seventy counties last
year with a total enrollment of
2359 boys. The average yield per
acre of the boys reporting last year
was 45 bushels. The average cost
per bushel is 36/£ cen.s. This
average yield of 45 bushels per
acre is more than double the av
erage yield of the state made under
the old methods of cultivation.
Eighteen members, one of whLh
was a girl, grew 1.930 bushels of
corn on 18 acres with an average
yield per acre of 107 bushels at an
average cost per bushel of 16
cents.
The Cotton C'ubs were con
ducted in about 50 counties in the
state with a total enrollment of
800. The average yield per acre
of seed cotton of the boys report
ing was 1.081 pounds. Thisis dou
ble the average of the sta^e made
under the ordinary method of cul
tivation. Tne average net profit
per acre of the boys reporting was
$25.10.
The Canning Club work for girls
was conducted in thirteen counties
with a total enrollment in round
numbers of about 800. The girls
reporting have grown over one
quarter million pounds of tomatoes
on their gardens. They have not
only grown tomatoes on their gar- I
dens, but have grown a number of
o‘her vegetables. The total value
of all products sold from the one
tenth acre gardens amount to over
$14,000.00. The average cost of
production per one-tenth &cre is
$'0.24, with an average net profit
per one-tenth acre of $55.07. Ar
kansas has the honor of having a
girl who holds the record of having
made the greatest net profit of any
girl in the twelve Southern states
in which the club work has bten
conducted, according to informa
tion received from the Department
of Agriculture at Washington. The
girl is Miss Kay Parker of Beebe,
who made a net profit of $152.83
on one-tenth of an acre.
The question has be;n asked if
the work is really worth while, and
what there is to it. A few figures
will show the merits of the work.
Approximately there were 2.475,
000 acres of corn in Arkansas in
1913. The average yield per acre
of the state is about 20 bushels.
The Corn Club boys made an aver
age of 45 bushels. This 25 bushel
gain per acre had every acre been
worked under demonstration meth
ods would have meant a gain of
61.875.000 of corn which at 70
cents a bushel would have given an
increase in dollars and cents in the
corn production in Arkansas last
year of $43,312,500.00.
There was approximately 2.400,
000 acres of cotton grown n Ark
kansas in 1913. The average
yield per acre in the state is about
570 pounds of seed cotton. The
boys averaged 1081 pounds or over
500 pounds to the acre. This gain
per acre had every acre been
worked under demonstration meth
ods would have meant an increase
of 400.000.000 pounds of lint cot
ton, which at 10 cents per pound
would have given an increase in
dollars and cents in the cotton pro
duction in Aakansas of $40,000,
000.
Completely Overhaul Business.
Seaman & Seaman, with V. C.
as manager, have had the building
occupied by the pool hall, picture
show, soda fountain, etc., complete
ly overhauled, painted and new
fixtures put in throughout outside
of the fountain and tables Thp
business will k own h«r f*
the Seaman & Seaman Amusement
Parlor, composed of the Princess
Theatre and Idle Hour Billiard
i Parlors, the Cream Parlor and
I Bakery. In addition to this they
will carry a complete line of the
best confectionery, cigars and
tobacco V. C. Seaman formerly
had charge of this business and has
been conducting a like one at
Pellston, Mich., since leaving here
and thoroughly understands every
phase of it and knows what the
people want. If you have not
visited this popubr place since he
took charge you should do so. A
collapsable floor has been placed
in the theatre and the operators
room moved to the rear so that the
! theatre now seats nearly twice as
many as formerly and the floor can
be easily removed to give access to
the bowling alleys. We predict
that the place will soon be as popu
lar as it was when he had charge of
it before.

he committeed suicide. It is a
: dedication and a. warning from one
j of the unfortunates themselves.
I He says: "I leave to the world a
wasted character and ruinous ex
ample. 1 leave to my parents as
great a sorrow as, in their weakness,
they could possibly bear: 1 leave
to my brothers and sisters as much
shame and dishonor as 1 could have
brought them; I leave to my wife
a broken heart and a life full of
shame: 1 leave to my children
poverty, ignorence, a bad character
and the memory of their father
lying in a drunkard's grave and
having gone to a drunkard's hell.”

Its pasul'ar how the secrets of a.

A person who tells you a secret

Two miles nut from Keltic. on the
main road between tluit town and In
gleton. Yorkshire, Eng,, there is to
be found one of the most curious
of natural phenomena in the shape
of the famous ebbing and flowing
well of niggleswick,
A small, unpretentious little :
structure, scarcely to lx* distill- !
guished from the ordinary trough of
water to lie seen on manv of our 1
country roads, it is yet one of tin
most quaint and fascinating spec
tacles one eon Id hope to see. As the
name implies, the well has the na
ture of a tide: it ehhs and flows
continually, though by no means
with, regularity.
Sometimes the privileged traveler
will see the oblong stone basin filled
with clear water; then, even as he
gazes into its pollueid depths, tin
water gradually sinks until the
trough is half empty, or it may he
more. There is harelv time to won
der at this strange thing ere. with
a rush and a whirl, the trough is
again full. The ebb and flow con
tinues with more or less marked ef
fect, and the water is never at the
same level for two consecutive min
utes. Sometimes the outflow has
scarcely begun before the basin
again fills, but at other times the
trough is almost emptied.—Wide
