The much-talked ;of methods of agriculture which no one has had the industry to put into practice are found to be practical and the man's neighbors become interested, reasoning correctly that if it will2pay?one~man to! use improv ed methods it will all, and thusSthe r work '.With as many as 50 demonstration J farms in the county practically every section will be reached and the whole country influenced. "We have, so far, covered 35 counties. Next year we will cover perhaps 20 more. The average yield of com on the 3,000 demonstration farms in the state last year was 40.8 bushels per acre while the aver age yield for the state was 16.8 bushels. The average yield of seed cotton to the acre for the \ demonstration farms was "£1,230 pounds. The average for the state was 570 pounds to the acre. This corn cost the farmer using improved methods 30 cents per bushel while 'the aver age cost of production per acre for the state was close to .0 cents. There was a like saving jon the cotton. We had ten men |in the state who averaged 102 'bushels of corn per acre. We I had 51 men who averaged 71 bushels per acre and the men in the demonstration work are all pleased with it and are going to stay in it." In answer to questions, Mr. Hudson explained the differ ence between the work he is doing and the work that is be ing done under State Agrono mist Burgess, saying that the j work of the North Carolina de partment was experimental, while the work under the United States department of agriculture was demonstrative— putting before the people that which had already been proven igood. Mr. Hudson said that on Sep tember 20 the department is planning to get all of thp de monstrators ("County agents," they are called) together at • Pinehurst for a few days for j instruction as to their work. — j Lexington Dispatch. i j Nice lot of dress goods and underwear just received.
