KNAPP PLAN OF AGRICULTURE
Attained Remarkable Results In Pre-
venting Wreckage Of Cotton In
dustry by Boil Weevil.

The Farmers Cooperative Demon
stration Work, inaugurated in 1904
to introduce better system of agri-
culture in the South and specifically
to prevent the wreckage of the cotton
industry after the advent of the boil
weeYil, has attained remarkable re-
suits From one field agent it has in
creased to 430, from one farm to $4,000
farms, from few farmers instructed
to $4,000 instructed, from work in one
state to work in II states.
DIR. S. A. Knapp of the Department
of Agriculture. who is at the head of
this work, employs the most success
full methods known to scientific farm
ing. By better drainage. better prep
aration of the soil, better selection Of
seed, and better tillage, the yield has
been greatly increased, and by the
growth of Iegumes and the skillful
management of fertilizers, the worn
out soil of many places has been re-
deemed. The superiority of the dem
onstration methods may be seen by
a few comparative figures. Last year
in Virginia 896 farmers working under
the direction Of DR.. Knapp's agents
averaged Al bushels of corn to the
acre, while the average yield of the
state was % bushels In North Caro-
lima the demonstration men averaged
40 bushels and the state 1853 bushels.
In this state, also, DR.. Knapp averaged
1888 pounds of seed cotton per acre
on an acreage of 1900 acres, and the
state approximately 500 pounds. In
Georgia, DR.. Knapp averaged 1903
pounds against 700 for the state. Mer-
chants in some sections agree to sup
ply the farmers only on condition that
they use DR.. Knapp's methods
The most striking thing accomplish
ed by the movement last year and this
has been the restoration Of confidence
in the delta sections of Mississippi and
Louisiana by demonstrating that cot
ton can be raised successfully in spite
of the boil weeYil. BY planting a cot
ton that natures early, by shallow and
intensive cultivation to hasten ma
turity, and by destruction of the pune
tured squares, it has been proved that
an excellent yield can be made in
spite of the weevil, and no further pan
ic need be expected when this pest
invades a section.
The Boys Corn club, with $4,000
boys now learning scientific farming,
is one Of the most important divisions
of the work, and means that hereafter
many young men will remain on the
farm to attain distinction and leader
ship instead of docking to the cities
for competition in crowded employ
ments
The great value of the work is in
so readiusting agriculture as to make
it matter Of large profit, the outcome
of which is to reconstruct the rural
home and give to country life the po-
tential influence it should haVe.-Col-

The Dairy Type

The points that a cow should pos
sess if adapted to economical milk
production are quite the opposite
from what is seen in the beef ami
NAL
The dairy cow possesses a long
face, thin slender neck. a sharp pro-
jectfng shoulder. She is not very
wide in the chest, but her capacity
of chest is due to her depth which
is greater in proportion to her size
than you will find in the beef animal
She possesses large barrel which in
dicates a good capacity for digesting
her food. Her depth here should ex-
coed her depth in any other portion
of the body. A dairy cow should have
good width at the hips. Her
thighs should be lean and free from
muscling. She should be open be-
tween her thighs.

M. Lucien Magne, the French in
speetor general of historical monu-
ments, has made one of the most re-
markabIe discoveries of recent years
in the old abbey of Fontevrault That
certain of England's kings and queens
were buried there was well known,
but it has always been told that the
tombs were ri1ed many years ago.
Henry II. and Richard l. were buried
there. as were the wives of King John
and Henry II.
The architects who were engaged
in restoring the abbey, after digging
down to the original level of the nave
and demolishing the seventeenth-cen-
fury partition, discovered traces of in
scriptions and paintings in an arehed
recess of the northwest wall of the
transept. It would seem that the alb
hess, Louise of Bourbon, in redecora-
ting the cloisters had closed up the
opening of the tombs, and hence they
had escaped being rif1ed as so MANY
other tombs were in the revolutionary
movement of 1883. And SO they are
unearthed today-the actual remains
of Richard the Lion-Heart, and of his
father. Here the Psychologists and
other on1ookers had before them all
that remains of the once fiery Richard.

QUALITY SELLS EVERY TIME.
Farmer That Produces First Glass Ar
ticie Has Least Fault to Find
With Market Price.

We hear great deal nowadays
about the necessity of organization
among producers in order to secure
! a market. Societies of Equity and
Farmers Alliances are forming all
over the country with the central
| thought of holding produce, and thus
forcing market by creating a short
age. Now, I am a firm believer IN or
ganization among producers in order
to help individual members, yet / hold
that the real benefit to be derived from
such organization lies, not in the pow
er that may come from combination, as
against the middlemen and ultimately
against the consumer, but in the ed
ucation and personal assistance the
organization may render its members
in producing superior article and in
STRUGGLING them along the lines of eco
nomfcal production and final market
ing of their produce, writes, w. x. Sud
death, in Campbell's Scientific Farm
ing.
Quality will always command a mar
ket and other things being equal, will
sell first as against quantity. It has
always been a first thought in my
life, how to produce first class ar
ticle," no matter what, because have
found that when | succeed in doing
SO had no difficulty in finding buy
er. Buyers are always on the qui
viye for quality. My good father used
to say that he was farthest from
market who had nothing to sell that
the other fellow wanted" In these
days of rapid transportation buyers are
securing the earth for quality. and are
paying the top of the market for it
when they find it. All the producer
has to do is to grow the quality and
let it be known that he really has the
goods, and he will be sold out even
before the stuff is matured.
The central idea in the potato bake
we pulled off during the Dry Farming
Congress was to show that our local
products were the best that could be
produced. We served 5000 free
lunches, and the constant remark
heard while attending the shows east
this fall was: Those spuds were sure
good" That Billings Creamery but
ter is all right Those weiners were
ine;" and Montana cider is most as
good as champagne"
That's the way to get people to talk
ing, and they will buy the goods and
pay top prices for them.
We hear a great deal of criticism Of
the middlemen which is wholly IN
just in many cases. have found that
this dissatisfaction was generally due
to misunderstanding of the situation.
The middleman cannot create mar
ket, he simply supplies the demand,
and no matter how much he may adj
yertise his wares, II they have not
quality he will find them drug on
the market. It's quality that sells all
the time, and this phase of the ques-
ton lies with the producer and not
with the middleman The farmer that
produces first class article has the
least fault to find with the market.
His greatest complaint is that he can
not raise enough TO supply the de-

RAISING CATTLE IN SOUTH
Industry Offers Many Inducements
Account Low Cost of Feeds and
Buildings Required.

Dairy farming has many points of
superiority over beef raising, but to
farmers who are not close to a good
market and are handicapped by lack
of available and steady labor, the
breeding and feeding of cattle offer
many Inducements
That it is profitable business in
the South Is shown by the low cost of
raising cattle, economy in. producing
suitable feeds, and the inexpensive
buildings required.
With good pure-bred beet sire, a
herd of native cows. and plenty of
pasture land, farmer may in two or
three years time develop a good grade
beef herd, which will largely increase
mis- profits and maintain the fertility
of the soil.
