Some idea of the great size ot
which farm demonstration work has
grown in Oklahoma can be gained by
figures given of work one in the
seventy-three of Oklahoma's seven-
tiynine counties in which the work
is in progress.
To begin with 531 farmers had
been enlisted as corn demonstrators.
Of this number 3C8 made reports
showing an average yield per acre of
4.1.4 bushels which was 1C.2 bushels
more than the average of land near-
by. There were 712 cotton demon-
strators 252 of whom reported an
nverage yield of 712 pounds of seed
cotton; and 473 wheat demonstrators

Hog Sale At Kencfick
This Issue of the News contain
a large advertisement announcing
the sale at Kenefick Saturday. Feb-
ruary 18 of thirty head of fine gilts
by V I. Guthrie who raises pure-
bred I)uroc-Jer.eys. The sale is to
be held in the town of Kenefick.
commencing at 1:30 o'clock. These
fellows who are breeding pure-bred
hogs and other pure-bred stock arc
doing much for the future prosper-
ity of the country. Eliminating al-
together the value of fine pure-bred
hoars and sows as a breeding pro-
position experience shows that pure-
bred hogs make bigger hogs in much
less time and on much less feed than
scrubs. The pure-bred therefore are
much cheaper to raise own and sell
than the scrubs. When we have all
found out in this respect what some
already know many of our present
day financial troubles concerning
farming will vanish.
Howard says but government spec-
ialists who were sent to investigate
found it to be a scavenger worm.
Planning A Model Farm
1 Choctaw county will see its first
model farm soon if plans now being
aid by W. II McPheeters extension
engineer of the state board of ag-
riculture are allowed to materialize.
' McPheeters has been granted per-
mission and furnished funds to use
 the A. T Wight farm northeast of
j Hugo a material for his demonstration-
On the 1100-acre farm one of the
largest in the country and said to
contain some of the best land in
southeastern Oklahoma McPheeters
is to construct hog dairy and poultry
burns He has also laid plans for
an extension drainage system.
A chain of modem bungalows is to
be built for tenants it is understood.

Different Kinds of Weevil
In the window of the Chamber of
Commerce on Third avenue in a glas
frame in which are placed six speci-
mens of weevils of various kinds.
One of them is a real genuine boll
weevil which ruined the cotton crop
last year and the other five are
weevils but other kinds of weevils
and absolutely harmless to growing
crops. The various specimens were
arranged and presented to Farm
Agent Dunlap by C E. Sanborn en-
tomologist at the A. & M. College.
Folks arc invited to call by and see
the different specimens which con-
sists of boll 'weevil sweet potato

potato stalk borer. The bug classed
as a potato stalk weevil was of
specimens brought in by Wm. RIsner

is one of specimens brought in by R.

f . o. b. Detroit.
Effective January 27 the price of the famous Fordson
Tractor was reduced to $395.00 f . o. b. the factory Detroit
Michigan. This is the lowest price at which Fordson Tractors
have ever sold and is considerably less than half the price 'in
1920.
At this price there is no reason why every farmer in Bryan
county should not own a Fordson tractor.
Bear in mind that a Fordson costs no more than three good
mules yet will do the work of eight mules and doesn't eat un-
less it works and doesn't balk kick and run away.
If interested in a Fordson we can give you a demonstra-
tion anywhere at any time.
