state for the FIVE year periods before
and after the first corn trains were
run shows an increase Of "a bushels
to the acre. Careful observers credit
a large share Of this increase to the
seed corn trains. Figuring the average
acreage and the average farm value
for the FIVE years, the increase was
worth more than $S,00O,O00 year.
The extra "a bushels have done much
to bolster up the diminishing food
supply.
Since 1904 special trains Of various
kinds have been run for the benefit
Of the farmers. Oregon has run an
apple train. Ohio has run a dairy
train, and the people Of that state have
been taught to test their cows and get
rid Of those which are not paying for
their board. South Dakota and north
ern Iowa have run oat trains and
fought the farmers how to put the oat
crop on the paying side-of the ledger.
Illinois has run good roads train.
teaching the farmers by the object
lesson how they can have hard roads
the year around. The special train Is
spectacular, but that is one Of the rea-
sons for its success. 1t reaches more
people in a given length Of time than
all other methods Of agricultural ex-
tension together. In Iowa last winter
three weeks work with special trains
spread the gospel Of corn testing to
more than $4,000 farmers.
