t Corn Demonstrations in 1920. is
??? r<
t Clemson College, Feb. 16.?There
were 588 demonstrators in 1920, ac]
cording to the annual reports of the
county agents, with a total acreage P1
, of corn grown under improved meth- t?
ods of 8281 acres. 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

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.?

Makes Live Elpehant Vanish.
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.

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.
