Faster Sunday.
The thought of Easter not
only brings with it a sense of re-
joicing that Christ has risen
from the dead and that death
has no more dominion over him;
but that we are once more safely
through the winter, and the
earth is once again smiling at
the soft and gentle touch of
Spring. The greatest event in
the worlds history is Commemo-
rated on Easter Suuday--it is the
principal fact on which depends
the faith of all Christians. Re-
joiCe and sing-lIe is Risenl He
is Risen Alleluia.

that several thousand such

in the State of Texas, and a
few in Western Louisiana
From that date the work has
expanded by reason CT its uni

ly posted as to what they
have proven.
The published researches
of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture are a.
valuable. and with foreign in
vestigations are studied SO far
as they bear upon our work.
Is From this mass of informa-
ton our instructions are COM
piled, and are reviewed with
care at the annual meeting
of the State Agents at Wash
Iington in September.
Is No other body in the world
lis in touch with so many good
farmers, and has accumulated
such an amount of practical
knowledge as to the best and
most economic methods of
nrndncing the staple crops az
the South.
The results obtained on one
farm in one year, however rel
liable the persons in charge
are of little value, To bel
worthy of consideration, the
results must show uniformity
for a series of years, and must
be corroborated by similar
tests in many localities.
The second object Of theI
Farmers Cooperative Demon
,tration Work is to conveyI
his information to the far
ners in such a way that it, :
will be accepted.
No man is asked to makeI
use of the Demonstra- n
ion methods, until he hasi
ested them ON his own farm.|
lie is advised to try one or
wo acres the first year, and
