DEMONSTRATION WORK
IN ARKANSAS
How Crop Yields Have Been In
creased In Cotton and Corn
—Pig and Poultry Clubs
Next Year.
The Arkansas state office of
the Farmer's Co-operative Dem
onstration work of the Bureau
oi Industry, United States De
partment of Agriculture, has
just finished compiling its an
nual report to the Department
of the results accomplished in
Arkansas for the year 1913. The
facts set out in this report show j
that a wonderful progress has j
been made in the development of
agricultural conditions all over
the state and the possibilities
for the future indicated by this
demonstration work are as
tounding.
The organization for the Dem
onstration work in this state1
consists of Mr. C. W. Watson,
State Agent; Mr. W. J. Jernigan,
Assistant State Agent in charge
of the Boys' and Girls' Club .
Work; Mr. R. C. Davidson, Mr.;
J. C. Barnett and Mr. Harry F. j
Kepp, District Agents, each |
having charge of twenty-five J
counties in the northeastern, |
northwestern and southern sec- j
tions of the state, respectively.1
Under this supervising force
there were seventy-two local a- j
gents in the various counties |
who were in direct contact with
the farmers and conducted op
erations on the farms along the
linaa nf l'fio onrrioulf nt»o r\v»o
scribed by the Department. Of
the local agents, nine were ne
groes doing work among the
members of their race in the
counties heavily populated by
negroes. The following figures
given do not include any of the
Boys’ and Girls’ Club work or
the work done by the negro a
gents. They pertain entirely to
results accomplished by fifty
local agents among the white
adult farmers of the state.
These fifty agents had 1,454
demonstrations in corn, 1,520
demonstrations in cotton—a to
tal of 2,974 farmers whom they
visited regularly and supervised
the growing of the crops. These
2,974 demonstrators had 16,
258 acres in corn and 25,910 a
cres in cotton or a total of 42,
168 acres, making the average
size of the demonstration plats
14 1-5 acres per demonstrator.
In adition to the 2,974 demon
strators the local agents had on
their lists 10,407 co-operators,
whom they are not required to
visit regularly but who receive
the Department literature and
advice from the agents. Hence
the demonstration force was in
touch with 13,381 farmers in
our state during the year 1913.
On the 16,258 acres in corn
under demonstration methods
last year 580,901 bushels were
produced, an average or m
bushels per acre. On the 25,
910 acres in cotton were produc
ed 27,516,420 pounds of seed
cotton, an average of 1,062
pounds per acre. These averages
obtained under demonstration
methods last year, and this was
accomplished in spite of an un
usually severe and extended
drought and a heavy boll weevil
infestation, indicating that dem
onstration methods are effect
ive in geting good results in
the face of unfavorable weather
conditions and insect depreda
tions. Also the average yields
were obtained from every char
acter of soil, upland and bottom,
varying in fertility from very
poor to rich and embracing ev
{ery section of the state.
| The average corn yield per a
lcre for Arkansas, as shown by
| the Year Book of the Depart
; ment of Agriculture for 1912
was 20 1-2 bushels. It is fair
to presume that the average
! yield for the state last year was
1 not greater than this. But the

tion farms was 34 1-2 bushels'
pei- acre, a net gain of 14 bush-j
els, or a total of 227,612 bushels!
for the 16,258 acres under dem- i
onstration methods. Figuring I
this increased yield at 70 cents!
per bushel we have a net gain |
of $9.80 per acre or a total gain j
of $159,328 for the total demon-j
stration acreage over the ordin- i
ary yields.
The average yield of cotton per
acre for Arkansas, obtained as
above, was 570 pounds for 1912.,
The average yield on the demon- j
stration farms was 1,062 pounds. |
A net gain of 492 pounds
per acre or a total of 12,747,720
pounds. Thirding this for lint
and figuring the increased yield j
at 10 cents per pound we have
a net gain of $16.40 per acre or
a total of $429,924 for the 25,
910 acres under demonstration
methods over the ordinary
yields.
The total amount contributed
by the people of Arkansas, quo
rum courts and otherwise, for
last year was $53,013.37. The
increased earnings of the Dem
onstration acreage over the or
dinary yields was $159,328.40 on
com and$429,924.00 on cotton
or a total of $584,252.40. Hence
ie is shown that for every $1.00
expended by the people in fos
tering Demonstration Work
more than $11.00 has been re
turned—more than 1,100 per
cent on the amount invested.
Viewing these figures from an
other standpoint, it becomes ev
ident that if the 2,475,000 acres
planted to corn in 1912 had been
under demonstration methods in
1913 and the same increased
yields obtained the farmers of
Arkansas would have had 34,
650,000 bushels more of corn,
worth $24,255,000.00 at 70 cents
per bushel. And if the 2,363,000
acres planted to cotton in 1911
had been under demonstration
methods in 1913 the farmers
would have had 1,162,596,000
pounds more of seed cotton,
which at a price of ten cents per
pound, for the lint, would have
been worth $38,753,200.00. In
other words, if demonstration
methods were universally prac
ticed and such yields obtained as
the demonstration work shows
to be possible and practical, the
increased income from the
farms of trie state on these two
crops alone would have reached
the astounding sum of $63,008,
200.00.
In the above discussion no ac
count is taken of such other
wealth producing factors of the
demonstration work as the Boys
Corn, Cotton and Pig Clubs and
the Girls’ Canning and Poultrj
\ J.
Clubs. Neither does it include 1
