DEMONSTRATION FARMS.

The demonstration farms-estab-
lished in many points in North Dakota
by President Worst of the agricultural
college in cooperation with the farm
ers and the. railways-are beginning
to get returns The farmers who live
near these demonstration farms are
beginning to appreciate there are les
sons to be learned. Not all the exper-
iments have been a success. In sonu.
instances individual farmers have
grown larger crops in given years. The
demonstration farm plan is yet too
young for marked successes in yields
but the advantages of the crop 90
tation plan are becoming evident. 1t
is like leaven to the bread and in 3
few years North Dakota will profit
greatly by the demonstrations. ~
superintendent Porter has been a
busy official during the past year. The
conditions were temporarily unfavor-
able in. most .teases--but despite taay
fact the situation is very encouraging.
In fact the gospel has been spread 10
such an extent that farmers in se;-
tons OF the state where there are no
demonstration farms are applying for
them. 1t has been clearly shown they
are valuable aids to the agricultural
college and to the sub-stations.
2 1t has been thoroughly demonstrated
that a study of the soils. climatic in
fiuences and other matters relating 20
high-class farming greatly advances
the agricultural industry. It needs no
argument now to convince any well in
formed and observant farmer that sci
entifc cultivation of the soil pays. Ex-
periments made by both the state and
national governments and the results
placed before the people by lecturers
and through the medium of printed
matter-have done great deal toward
instructing the farmers. 1t is crafty
ing to know that many of them have
accepted-with profit to themselves
the valuable instructions thus given.
