Jack County U. S.- Agricultural
Demonstration.
Mr. Bently gives the result of
the demonstration work on the
county farm this year as follows:
WHEAT.
Thirty-three acres planted. Land
broke during September and Octo-
ber. Sowed mixed mediterranean
one and one-half bushels to acre
Nov. 14th to 16th.. Cost, includ-
ing $2.50 rental for land, seed,
breaking, sowing, harvesting,
threshing, marketing, etc., $8 per
acre. Yield 13.5 bushels to the
acre, valued at 71 cents per bushel.
Made a profit of $55.50 or $1.68
per acre. The cost in all cases
represents what the work could be
hired done for at the time it was
done.
' CORN.
Ten acres yellow Dent, seed fur-
nished by department. Planted
March 2, alternate rows planted in
peas. All barren stalks detasseled.
Yield 25 bushels to acre. Yield of
common oorn cultivated ordinary
way 20 bushels to acre. Total cost
per acre $6.65. Value of corn 40
cents per bushel or $10.00 an acre.'
Value of peas, $1.00 per acre.
Totol yield $11.00 an acre which is
a profit of $4.35 per acre.
COTTON.
Cotton figures are not all in.
But 8 bales have been picked from
the Rouden cotton containing seven
and seven-tenths acres while four
bales bave been picked from 8
acres of common cotton. The four
rows of fertilized cottoo, . through tended^church at
accident, was not weighed separate- day.
ly so it can not be shown whether
fertilization is profitable or not.
The government, through Mr.
Bentley has at least sliovtta us two
things, either of which is worth
thousands of dollars to Jack county.
First, it pays to have good im-
proved seed. Second, it pays, just
as The Newe has always contended,
to plant peas. In this experiment
or demonstration every other row
in corn was planted in peas and
cultivated as the corn is and it
made five bushels of com to the
acre more than the old method,
besides the great benefit to the
ground for another year by having
had the peas growing on it. ,

-Nov. 5.—Since the cool spell
farmers have been working early
and late to get their crops gathered.
Several farmers took cotton to
Jacksboro last week.
Grandpa and grandma Eastwood
‘went to town last Saturday.
The health of the community is
tolerably good. Mr. Robert Mc-
Daniel, who was hurt in the gin
last week is improving. He had
htf shoulder set Monday.
Little Gladys Eastwood stuck a
nail in her foot last Saturday. It
is giving her some trouble, but we
hope the wound will not prove
serious.
We had a few chills last week,
but not so many as usual.
Zylph v/ants all the readers to
know that she had a very sore
throat last week. Now she -i$
sorry she cbuld not have written
-before that-she was going to have
it, so all the readers 6ould have
been sympathizing with her dur-
ing her affliction. That would
have helped a great deal.
Next week we are to have a
"roustabout” among the neigh-
bors. Mr. Kennedy is to move on
the place he nought from Mrs.
Hamilton. Mr. Clemmons is to
move where Mr. Kennedy lives
and Mrs. Marvin Hodfee is to occu-
py the place Mr. Blemmons now
occupies.
Mr. Hubert Greene lias bought
Mr. Kennedy’s place, considera-
tion eighteen dollars an acre. We
are glad Mr. Greene has bought in
our community. We are anxious
to have him and Mrs. Greene
among us.
Mr. Ed Eastwood has bought a
uew hack.
The Sunday school was not very
well attended yesterday, partly on
account of the threatening weath-
er; but our superintendent seems
to be not discouraged. He made
a talk to encourage us. We are
glad to have a few faithful Sunday
school workers.
Miss Effie Baker visited Mr.
Downing's family last Friday.
Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Greene of
the Knox ranch visited Mr. and
Mrs. Kennedy last week*. v
Several of our community at-
Truce last Sun-
’ ■
• Mr. and Mrs. Tom Wills visited
Mrs. Will’s parents at Los Creek
last Sunday.
Messrs. John Baker and Marviu
Hodge and families visited rela-
tives near Newport last Saturday
and Sunday.
Mr. Light Cannon of Sycamore
and a relative from the Territory
were prospecting in our commu-
nity last week.
Little Emma Downing took din-
ner with Little Verda Baker Sun-
day.
Mr. Zan Graves would like to
see his name in the paper this
week.
Enoel, Zylph was joking. She
knew that you, like herself, would
take care oHiumber one. So you
see, she didn’t worry much about
you. Be assured that Zylph would
be glad to receive a personal letter
from you.
Mr. Editor, when a correspond-
ent changes her name is that
evidence that she has married? If
so, please have Gwen to introduce
Mr. Toronto to us.
I believe the most suitable quo-
tation for the time is the new one:
“Early to bed and early to rise,
Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

The Boll Weevil.
The boll weevil has been found
in small quantities in Wise county.
This is close to us and unless every
precaution and acute watchfulness
is used we may expect him in
Jack county in a few more years.
Let every cotton farmer watch
closely aud observe the best rules
for keeping this pest out of onr
county. An once of preventive
in this case i£ worth a car of cure.
Mr. Bently give the following
which should be followed if pos-
sible:
"Fall and winter is the best time
to kill boll weevils and boll worms.
Cut, rake apd burn the cotton
stalks as soon a possible. Get the
best selected seed of the best big
boll variety that yon can find.
Plant early and push the cultiva-
tion- Fertilizers that hasten ma-
turity may often be profitably
used.’’

(Always was sick.
When a man says he always was
sick—troubled with a cough that
lasted all winter—what would you
think if he should say—he never
was sick since using Ballard’s
Horehound Syrup. Such a man
exists.
Mr. J. C. Clark, Denver, Col-
orado, writes: "For years I was
troubled with a severe cough that
would last all winter. This cough
left me in a miserable condition.
*Postmaster Robbed
G. W. Fouts, Postmaster at
Riventon, Ia., nearly lost his life
and was robbed of, all comfort,
according to his letter, which says:
" For 3o years I had chronic liver
complaint, which led'to such a se-
vere case of jaundice that even my
finger nails turned yellow; when,
my doctor prescribed Electric Bli-
ters; which cured me and have
kept mt well for eleven years.”

Dear Sir; A pound of good meat
and no bone is worth more than a
half-pound of meat and a half
pound of bone; but there are, as
yon say, a great many people who
won’t pay more than a certain \
price by the pound. Give ’em
bone; that’s rignt; give ’em plenty
of bone! !
1
There are people who won’t pay
more than $150 a gallon for paint,
give ’em bone!
There’s no better -school than
experience; cosf is high; but the
Jesson is never forgotten. Let a
man paint two houses alike, same
size; one Devoe, the other that
$1.50 paint. He buys 100 gallons
of each, and pays 83.00 a day for
labor—$3 a day is $3 a gallon
easier reckoning.
He has to buy two gallons more
of the $1.50 paint; and has two
gallons left of Devoe: 12 gallons
$1.50, $18; 8 gallons $1.75, $14; $4,
more for "cheap” paint.
He pays $3 a gallon for painting
8 grllons $24; r2 gallons $36; $12
more for painting "cheap” paint. \
He’ll buy the less-gallon paint
after that. If people are slow to
learn, it’s becaase they keep-on
buying bane meat. Give ’em plen-
ty of bone.
Yours truly
