Farm Demonstration Demon
strated.
If any doubt existed anywhere,
in anybody’s mind, that govern- ;
merit farm demonstration pays j
let him read the report of what
has been accomplished right
here in Arkansas and Sebastian
county. The crop statistics just
issued by the Bureau of Plant
Industry, of the Department of i
Agriculture, just published,
make impressive comparison of
crop yeilds of 1912, under farm
demonstration agents, with pre
vious years before farm demon
stration work was begun. These
comparisons of results before
and after, on the same soil, can
not fail to convince anyone of
the great value of the improved
methods.
The report says:
Remarkable strides m im
proved farm methods and in cor-,
responding increases in crop
yields have been made during the
past few years in both Arkansas .
and Oklahoma, and each year un-;
der demonstration methods, the ^
yield per acre increasing as if by i
magic. For instance, it is shown
that in Oklahoma in 1911, the
average yield of corn per acre
in the state was 13 bushels.
“The same year in Arkansas,
the average yield was 20.8 bush
els, while under demonstration
methods the yield was 39.9 bush
els per acre. In 1912 the aver
age yield of seed cotton per acre
in Oklahoma was 552 pounds,
while during the same period the
farms where improved methods
were used the yield was 977.7
pounds per acre. In 1909, the av
erage yield per acre in Oklaho
ma was 441 pounds, and 527.7
pounds by demonstration meth
ods, In 1909 Arkansas produced
an average yield of 459 pounds
of seed cotton per acre, while in
the same year under the super
vision of government experts
844.6 pounds were produced per
acre.

Hill May Be Candidate. Ijut
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Nov. 24.— Judge
Joseph M. Hill of Fort Smith, I i
has been in the city transacting
business before the Tax Com
mission and Federal court, and
as he has been often mentioned
I as a candidate for the United
States Senate, he was a central
figure in many political fanning
bees. Judge Hill stated that he
could not tell anything about
his political plans at the present
time, for they have not been
formulated. He stated that it
would be thirty days before he
reached any conclusion in the
matter, which he considers am
ple time to announce, if he de
cides to make the race. Having
•held the position of Chief Jus
tice of the Supreme Court, and
won the railroad rate cases for
the state, Judge Hill will have a
large following over the state if
he decides to run.
