Old Glory Stands For All
United Press Dispatch.
Little Rock, Oct. 17.—That
the United States is one nation,
that no flag stands before Old
Glory in the heart of any citi
zens, was demonstrated in the
discussion of placement for the
veterans of the Union and Con
federate armies in the parade
during the Confederate Reunion
to be held in Little Rock, Nov.
3, 4 and 5. The meeting to com
plete the details for this parade
was attended by Confederate
Veterans, Sons of Veterans and
Daughters of the Confederacy.
After it had been reported
that six battle scarred Confed
erate flags would be in the pa
rade, Gen. J R. Gibbons, Com
mander of the Arkansas Divis
ion of Confederate Veterans,
arose and stated:
“At the head of our proces
sion we will have the United
States flag, that is our flag now,
and we are ojne nation. We will
follow it.”
This statement was met with
. m 1 1 —1— " "" """"" '
applause, but as the veterans of
| the opposing sides in this war
; will march together, it was final
jly agreed that the Stars and
Bars would be carried beside
the Stars and Stripes.

Farm Demonstration Work.
j For the past eight years what
lhas been known as farm dem
; onstration work has been carried
| on in Arkansas under the direc
tion of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington. Most of
the counties have had one of
:the local county agents at one
| time or another during this
jtime, and thus the peole have
I been able to learn the nature of
jthe work. A great many farm
jers have cultivated crops under
the direction of these agents
and have profitted by it. A
great many have misunderstood
the work, and were led to believe
that the plan was for the local
demonstration agent to visit the
farmers and teach them how to
farm, according to the ideas of
the local demonstrator.
As I understand this is not
I the case, but on the other hand,
! the agent explains in detail the
improved methods of the De
partment of Agriculture in seed
selection, land preparation,

planting and cultivation, and
will undertake to visit the farm
of any farmer who will agree to
cultivate a certain portion of
his crop accordingly, these vis
its to be frequent enough to
meet all emergencies and give
all information that may be re
quired about the government
methods. In addition the agent
supplies bulletins and procures
any information and service
from the government that is a
vailable, and gives his services
free to those who undertake to
try out new methods or new
crops. The government plan
is not one of experiment, but
the result of many experiments
made by the government in
many parts of the United States.
! There is always a question in
the minds of some whether the
government methods will pro
duce better yields for less la
jbor and cost than individual
i methods. Sometimes they do
not, for some of the individual
I farmers have as good methods
as the government, or at least
I produce as good results. But
! when compared with the average
! there is shown to be an absolute
i positive increase under the
government methods.
To illustrate this more forcibly
I will refer to the result of the
demonstration work in this
i state in 1913. More than 1,200
men tried the demonstration
'work in 1913- They cultivated
I about 13,000 acres of corn, that
made an average yield of 35
bushels per acre; and about
20,000 acres of cotton that made
an average of 1,048 pounds of
seed cotton per acre. These de
monstrations were made in all
'parts of Arkansas, on all kinds
| of land and under all of the
different prevailing weather
conditions. The government
crop statistics for Arkansas for
1913 shows that the average
yield of corn was 20 bushels per
acre, and 583 pounds of seed cot
ton per acre, or a difference of
15 bushels of corn per acre and
of 465 ounds of seed cotton per
acre. These figures make their
Own argument.
| I know personally all of the
| county agents. I never met a
: more faithful and earnest set of
! workers. I do not know what
| they have done this year, but I
Teel that each one has done his
best, and will continue to do sc
! if you will keep him in the work.
The farmers cfen derive great
benefit from the demonstration
work, and I hope to see the
work continued in all the coun
ties that have it, and to see it
extended to others. Continue
the good work and co-operate
with the local agent. He is a
good agricultural missionary
and will help your community.

Commissioner.

Boy Is Best Cott&n Picker- £
The world’s record has been
excelled by a boy named Claude ,
Rice, 17 years old, living at Big- m
gers, Randolph county. The
boy was picking on a wager of *
! 1,000 pounds of cotton. He pick-Vy j
led 1,183 pounds in twelve hours
land thirty-five minutes. The
first three hours he averaged
120 pounds an hour. In thirty
minutes, from 4 to 4:30 o clock,
he picked -56 pounds. y
Rice is a member of the boys’
corn club of Randolph county,
known as the largest corn club
in the United States. John R.
Kizer, farm adviser, supervised
the contest. The boy sold hi$y
cotton at 10 cents a pound. —
