HOBSON'S SCHEME TAKES.
Ind There Is Big Demand for
Government agricultural Erperts.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]

TFrom The Tribune Rureaul
Washington June S.-VariOus members OF
Congress. particularly in the South are awakinS
to the fact that Representative-elect Richmond
Pearson Hobson, of Alabama, originated a pop
ular scheme when he induced representatives, OF
the bureaus of the Department Of Agriculture
to visit his district and travel through it in
his company, telling the farmers what were the
scientific agricultural needs Of the section. In
the last week there has been evidence that
many members are following in Hobsons wake
and seeking TO get the same results in the same
way. So strong is this evidence that the de-
partmont is in danger of receiving more demands
for the services of its scientists than It will he
able 10 I'll.
Hobson started out with the idea of utilizing
the Department of Agriculture to the utmost
in the interest of his constituents. house TO
house canvass of his district is his favorite man
ner Of advancing his political ambitions. on
these jaunts he urged on the farmers the ad-
vantage 10 be derived from lessons taught by the
men of the department who have made certain
phases Of farming their life work. He urged the
farmers TO write to certain bureaus and request
q visit from scientist from that bureau.
1t is the policy of the department to send
these scientists TO any section when there IS
sufficient demand for their services. The urg-
ing Of Mr.. Hobson brought the necessary num-
Der of requests not only to one bureau but TO
number of them. The result was that each Of
these bureaus, working Independently, saw tt
10 send a representative 10 Alabama, and,
whether by coincidence or through arrangement
on the part of Mr.. Hobson, the men reached the
scene of action at the same time. Mr.. Hobson
travelled over the district with the scientists
and superintended the meetings given at every
crossroads for the enlightenment of his con-
stituents. AS a result. the enterpTising Repre-
sentative received credit for the entire lecture
trip.
The forest service sent an expert who told
the farmers how to take care OF the wood lot
and preserve and encourage the growing OF
trees. The bureau of soils sent expert who
gave advice TO the needs Of given sections in
the way Of fertilizers and the crops most suited
to those soils. The bureau of plant industry
sent a representative who dscoursed proper
seed, the breeding thereof, and the proper culti-
vation OF crops In this way the expedition
went forward and Hobson's popularity
greatly advanced. The use TO which he put the
department that for which II is intended
and reioices in, but Il idea, as II had
never been so extensively carried out before
The various bureaus are receiving requests In
dicating that the lead taken by Representative
Hobson is being largely followed.
