role. Yet the present Premier, Baron

by the old Emperor himself and partly

he became its head master.

tion, | would teach them thorough

| would encourage him to keep
record of his work and crops, so
that when a crop was made he
would know its cost and the profit
from its production. / would teach
the farmer how to select seeds; how
to prepare rations for animals to
get the best results. All this would
be done by the practical operations
conducted on the demonstration
farm. 1t should be owned by the
county, SO that every farmer in the
county would feel that it was tour
farm" and that they had a right to
go there and watch the work and
ask questions.
When the farmers found that
farm similar to their own, equipped
as they could equip theirs, and the
work done was along lines they
could follow, was being improved
and was producing better crops
than they were producing, their
personal pride would be touched,
and in a short time they would get
to thinking and trying to improve
their own farm along the same line.
Now, the important question is
how to get the county demonstra-
tion farm.
The United States Department
Of Agriculture, recognizing the
need of this character of work, has
put into the several States men to
conduct farm demonstration work
among the farmers. Their plan is
to get farmers to cultivate cer-
tain amount of ground, with GER
tain crop, under their direction,
and they are accomplishing great
results, and in every case where
their instructions are followed they
get increased production. Their
plan is a good one, but the field is
so large and their force small and
they only cover certain features.
My plan was to cooperate with
them by getting each county to
furnish farm, and instead of hav-
ing several farmers cultivating
small areas, have one central farm
where the work will be continuous;
where building up soil fertility can
be practiced; where all the farmers
will naturally be interested; where
the results would influence great
er number and more comprehen-
siye in their character.
The county demonstration farm
can be made certainty if the CO.
operation Of the State College of
Agriculture, the Experiment Sta
ton, and the United States Farm
Demonstration Bureau can be in
duced to cooperate in furnishing
the direction for the work on the
several farms. If this can not be
secured, then public sentiment in
favor of this movement will have
to be developed, until the farmers
will demand of their representa-
tives a law that will allow the De-
partment of Agriculture to use the
revenues collected by the Depart
ment of Agriculture to carry on
this much-needed work for the
| farmers of Tennessee.
After you have read all of the

County Demonstration Farms.
For long time | have recogniz-
ed the need of the county demon
stration farm to bring the work of
the experiment station to the small
farmer In way that he could get
the most benefit from the result of
the work of original investigation
conducted stations.
We have progressive farmers all
over the State, who keep in touch
with the stations, who adopt mod
ern methods; and we see their land
growing better each year; we see
their farm animals improved; we
see their acreage production of
crops increased. While on the
other hand we have the greater
number of our farmers who are
simply drifting along in a groove
never attempting to improve
their methods of cultivation; tax
ing crops off their soil year after
year; sapping it's fertility; allow
ing their barnyard manure to go to
waste, returning no plant food to
the soil; making'a pretense of cul-
tivating crop with the least pos
sible amount of labor. Such sys-
tenn of farming can result only in
one way; the acreage production
= with such farmers will decrease
each year, counteracting the in
creased production of the progress
sive farmers, and the result is that
Tennessee as whole shows very
little increase in the acreage pro-
duction of some crops, and IN some
cases falling off.
If this class of farmers could be
encouraged to build up their lands
to produce as the land of the pro-
gressive farmer produces, we would
be able to show some marvellous
increases in in acreage production
of crops in Tennessee.
A brighter day is dawning for
the agricultural industry in Ten
nessee, because agriculture is being
taught in the public schools of the
State, in the high schools and the
College of Agriculture Is turning
out trained agricultural specialists
who will, with the coming genera
ton, reclaim the farm lands OF
Tennessee. But l am appealing to
the farmers of today that can not
be benefited by improved agricul-
tural conditions of the coming gen.
Grafton, the farmer who has been
deprived of the opportunities for
equipping himself for his life's
work. For the benefit of the far
mer who has been deprived of such
advantages, for the benefit OF the
back ward or Indifferent farmer, for
the benefit of the farmer who is
antagonistic to what he terms
"Book farming" have suggested
and have been advocating the
,county demonstration farm.
To make this farm most effective
for the farmers to be benefited, it
should be typical of the average
farms of the county, not rich
farm. because one of the important
lessons to be taught is Improvement
of the soil, and at the same time to
get a profit off the farm. The farm
should be equipped as the farmers
could equip their farms. In select
ing crops to be grown care should
he exercised to grow crops best
sAapted to the soil and local con-
d;t;ons. and that would find a good
market. In conducting farm |

I could improve the mechanical con-
