PENNSY'S EXPERIMENTAL FARM.
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE

be planted including alfalfa, timothy
and other nutritious hay. The farm is
worked out" but it was obtained
for that very reason, in order to
demonstrate how the fertility of the
soil can be restored, and that it can
be done profitably. When the Long
Island Railroad established a demon
stration farm many scoffed at the
idea, and termed these interested in
the enterprise ''book farmers. 3"
They said it was impossible to grow
anything on the waste land chosen
for the experiment, that it was good
for nothing but "pine barrens," and
"salt ponds'' The scoffing changed
to admiration when in two years the
Long Island people had succeeded in
growing successfully $50 different va
rieties of plants, including cauli-
flower, corn, radishes, peas, aspara-
gus, tomatoes, cabbage, carrots,
beans, cantaloupes, water melons,
alfalfa, potatoes and many other
vegetables and fruits.
Railroad Farms Elsewhere a Success
The first Long Island Railroad farm
was established as an experiment.
Today two farms are in operation,
and they are considered permanent
institutions. These farms pay for
the transportation of their material
just as other farms do. They are
there to show what can be done under
normal conditions, and similar policy
is to be inaugurated by those in
charge of the experiment station on
the Delaware Peninsula. The Penn
sylvania Railroad and its subsidiary
lines have for several years been ex-
erting every effort to encourage the
agricultural interests along its lines.
On farmers special instruction trains
and steamboats,, operated by the rail-
road, lectures have been delivered be-
fore thousands of farmers by experts
from the agricultural colleges of the
different states through which the
lines of the Pennsylvania system run.
In addition, the railroad has for more
than a year, carried on campaign
to acquaint the buyers and growers
of different market with these Of the
territory tributary to its lines. Book
lets have been issued and the traffic
representative of the Company hav e
been instrumental in greatly increas-
ing the demand for produce grown
farms along the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. Added interest in scientific
farming is one result of the Pennsyl-
vania's agricultural campaign. A
wider market for the crops grown
on its lines is another, more people
living along its lines, greater pros
perity among the farmers, and, fol
the railroad itself, an increased
freight and passenger traffic.
