The average yield n: per acre on those demonstration was r? i 39.2 bushels as opposed to the esti, mated average yield for the entire 11 state of 19.7 bushels, which makes an c< : average increase of 19.5 on the demon- v.1 s strations conducted under improved methods was twice as great as the J' yield for the state at large. The total C - increased jneld on these demonstra- li tions acres was 161,479 1-2 bushels, a 1 and the profit resulting from this in- n creased yield was $73,244. d L Besides the 588 demonstration there were 1236 cooperators growing 15,167 si . acres of com. who produced an aver- t< , age of 27.6 bushels per acqe. 3 The reports show that 687 farmers C j planted from pure or selected seed in q r< their demonstrations, the acreage bes ing 7565 acres, ar.d 1192 farmers have h been influenced to select seed for next IV years crop. r< V Farmers to the number of 3023 g i were directly influenced to use better t< i methods in growing com and 7886 i were indirectly so influenced. I An interesting item in the reports n 5 shows that 1064 acres of com under " e demonstrations methods ^rere "hogged S - down", the value per acre when util- t] ized in this way being $35.70. a I Discovering a Mistake Some counties where officials felt iiat it was necessary, in the face of le grave business conditions, to econrnize by dispensing with the countygents, are now discovering that this as a serious mistake. Face to face ith the necessity of diversifying ithout the exact knowledge of what tops to plant or how to go about lasting them; with thdftbsolute ne?ssity of cutting the cost of producon from one-half to two-thirds be>w that of last year not knowing ist how to reduce tliis cost-cutting ithout reducing the yield; with the nportance of selling every farm prodct at the highest possible price withut a definitely organized cooperative illing association; with the desire > increase the live stock on the farm ithout a thorough knowledge of reeding, care, and feeding and of disase control; with the will to plant ome orchards without the knowledge f spraying and pruning; with mortages or notes falling due on land and :juipment without knowing how to et extensions of credit, there has ever been a time when a county gent has been so vitally nec^ssary > farmers of any county in the south s during this year of uncertainty. Much as they desire to do so, counr rtufViAin'iiAi? o^nrinf o^nnrtmi'7P hv atting off their county agent, for this ; not economy. They save some few losand dollars that go to pay the alary, but they rob the county of rom ten thousand to several hundred lousand dollars of income which the aunty agent will bring into the coun7 by his work. No good county gent should be regarded as an ex-, ense, but as a productive agency that rings in wealth to the county many j mes over his salary every year. It i all right to economize, but care aould be taken not to economize by atting off the source of supplies.? regressive Farmer. o Play?"My Awful Aunt".

Stage magicians who cause assisints to disappear from the view of lase audiences still receive applause, ut a New York performer has added brand new thrill by "vanishing" a 000 pound elephant, says Popular [echanics Magazine in an illustrated rticle in its March issue. A huge tbinet, on legs a foot high, with banks 1 electric lights underneath to aid le scrutiny of the skeptics, is rolled ito the stage by a number of helprs, the front door opened, and a pair f rear doors thrown back, revealing circular entrance. Into this black, mnellike interior the elephant, comig from upstage, is urged to enter, mid the "patter" of the magician, he doors are closed, appropriate jremonies performed, and the doors pened again. The half ton beast is one. Like most effective tricks, the exlanation is simple. The floor of the ibinet is really a tilting runway, ivoted at about a third of its length om the front. Cables rising up irougn tne stage irgm a neavy wuu;r-weight below are hooked onto this verhanging front end of the floor, ehind the cabinet legs, by the trninr. When the mechanism is releas1, the animal's weight sw.mgs the oor down through the stage, and jwn this the huge animal walks or ides, and the floor swings back to s place, with the cabinet empty. The rilliant light, ostensibly intended to id the view under the cabinet, actully obscures it, so that the small mount of drooping floor within range i not detected, and the disappearance ;mains an effective mystery. o From Salters Route No. 1.

How to Figure Your Income Tax. \ A friend of ours who lost his mind studying the income tax law, writes as follows from the State Lunatic _ Asylum: p "I desire to say that there need be no trouble in figuring your income tax if you adhere to the following: "In the first place it must be work- ^ ed out by algebra, astronomy, trig- onometry and sir.tax. * "If your income is $2,400 a year and you have a diamond ring and an automobile and are marrried to a good looking girl, 26 years old p you take the amount of your income, add ycur personal property, substract your street number, multiply by your height and your wife's height and divide by your telephone number. "If you carry your minus, separ- ~ ated by your plus, to schedule G, on the tenth line of which you will subtract the multiple, which you will put on line X, schedule K, entering in column A. "If you have a child in the family, _ subtract $200 from your income, add ^ the amount of your personal property, subtract the size of your collar, ' * ' 1 at add the child's age, multiply Dy me amount you have given the church ? during the year and divide by the f number of your automobile license tag. "After you have it all figured out you won't have to pay income tax of any sort?for they will have you all over at the county hospital and j strapped down."?Pickens Sentinel.
