Crop History Ellis Hogans.
The County Agent, A. P. Rey- i
nolds, visited our school in Febru- '
ary and maae a talk about the |
Boys' Club work, and I gave him i
my nam for the cotton club. On j
March 10th 1 oroke my land about
five inches deep with a ten-inch
solid sweep. The land was rich ;
bottom land and was so wet 1 could
not break it sooner. It had been
cultivated two years.
1 laid off the rows with a ten
inch shovel plow and strowed the
fertilizer in the furrow and bedded
back on it and took a six-inch
shovel and opened the beds and
planted the cotton. Two hundred
pounds of "Meridian" fertilizer per
acre was used. 1 got a poor stand
of cotton, but replanted part of it.
When the cotton was up 1 barred
it off. I then chopped it out. I
next swept it up. In about ten
fays I ran a spring tooth harrow
once to the row. Next 1 hoed it
again. About the last of July 1
ran the spring tooth harrow again.
The boll weevils struck my cotton
early and as the cotton grew very
rank they damaged it about 50
per cent. 1 picked up a few
squares in hoeing and burned them.
Dry weather checked the boll I
weevils and helped my cott • The
fall rain" damaged my cotton some.
1 made 1.417 pounds per acre,
which cost $50.45 Der acre, which,
not counting seed, made the lint
cost 6.61 ~ents per pound, My
profit on this two acres was
$71.55. 1 estimated seed at 50
cents per bushel.
I won third prize at El Dorado,
which was $4. Our team of ten
boys w6n third team prize. $20. at
the State Fair. 1 woula like to be
in the Gotton Club another year,
but I am sorry the county did not
put u i any money to help us poor
boys out. I hope that they will
not turn us down again.
Yours truly.
Ellis Hogans,
El Dorado. Ark.

To Post Cotton Statistics
The arrangements made by Hon.
Wm. J. Harris. Director of the
| Census, for the wider distribution
of statistics collected by his office
concerning the quantity of cotton
ginned, the quantify of cotton con
sumed monthly, and the stocks of
cotton hand at the end of each
month, has met with gene-al ap
proval throughout the cotton grow
ing states.
He has received numerous sug
gestions concerning a still wider
distribution of these statistics, and
he has made arrangements with
the Postmaster-General to allow
the postmasters in every post office j
in counties where cotton is grown
to post in a conspicious place copies
or the reports containing statistics
of cotton. T’'ese copies will be j
printed on ext-a large cards, so the
figures can be easily read. Mr.
Harris hopes that in this manner
he will be able to give the farmers
and all others access to the valua
ble statistics collected by this*
bureau. Heretofore* the riports
have been given by the Bureau of
the Census to newspaper repre
sentatives and to the different tele
graph companies for. distribution.
Following this distrioution copies
of the reports have been mailed to
the ginners. manufacturers and
warehouse men. but there has been
no practical method devised for the
distribution of the information di
rectly to the farmers. It is Mr.
Harris' purpose to give the statis
tics to the farmers so they can take
advantage of the information col
lected by the Federal Government.

ARKANSAS LAM) AM) FARMERS
Great Possibilities for Thr ft. Enernv. Intelli
gance and Application on the farm.
| '»
Arkansas soil averages good to
better. It is productive and easy
to cultivate. The climate is favor
able We have no crop failures.
Sometimes we have too much rain.
sometimes not enough, but we are
always able to make a good aver
age crop, especially in sections
where they diversify. The one
great trouble is that too few of i
our own people know and appre
ciate the possibilities and opportu
nities on the farm in this State.
We should take a few things into
consideration that we have over
looked. For instance, an Arkansas
boy raised 155 bushels of corn on
an acre of Arkansas land this year.
An Arkansas man grew one ton to
the acre of broom corn on twenty
acres. The broom corn was worth
£200 per ton. Another Arkansas
man produced 2.000 pounds of
sunflower seed per acre. They are
worth six cents a pound. Another
man made 3.600 pounds of seed
cotton on an acre. Another Ar-!
kansas man made $600 on six 1
acres of peanuts, and had a ton of
hay per acre besides. A man in
Faulkner county killed a hog last
week that weighed 690 pounds.
A bull bred at BoonevJle four
years ago Look the grand champion
Hereford prize at the International
Stock Show in Chicago last week,
and stands as the greatest living
Hereford bull in America His
owner was offered $10,000 for
him and refused the offer. Verily.
Arkansas has done some things
and can do more. W'lth thrift,
'energy, application and intelligence
the farmer in A kansas will suc
ceed. He will prosper nearly every
time.
These instances recited here are
only indications of what others can
do. Let us get busy arid !i»e up to
our opportunities. Let us take
hold and push things. Arkansas
needs a reputation for doing things.
Let's see that she gets it in 1914.
John H. Page.
Commissioner of Agriculture.
