Teach Farmers to Farm to Best
Advantage.
Especial Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson has asked congress
to give him. $4,000 for the purpose OF
starting demonstration farms In the
north. For some years the conduct OF
demonstration farms in the south mas
received much attention from the de-
partment. Much progress has been
made in extending the knowledge OF
GOOD farming in the southern states.
Now Secretary Wilson has told the
house committee on agriculture that
he needs $4,000 to undertake the
movement in the north and bring
section.
1t is not certain whether congress
will give the money, in view Of the eff
forts to economic this session but the
probabilities are that 1t Will.
II Secretary Wilson gets the re-
quired sum he is going to turn large
corps of scientists loose In territor!
where there Is much renting Of land.
where farmers do not know how 10
farm to best advantage and where the
farms are running down IN conse-
quence. He is going to endeavor 10
arouse interest III better farming ana
to have crops raised under the eye OF
experts. Already about thirty scientists
are working In the north to promote
better farming. In charge OF w. y.
Spillman, who is at the head OF SOIL
management investigations. II Secre-
tary Wilson achieves his object that
number moro will be added.
Much Interest in South.
A surprising degree of interest has
been awakened in the south In she
demonstration farms. Young men ana
boys especially are taking keen inter-
est in them. Some little demonstration
farm work has been done In Illinois.
An Illinois boy last summer raised III
bushels of corn on an acre OF ground.
This was a big crop. But red-headed
boy from Mississippi showed up In the
office Of Secretary Wilson the other
day who had raised over 200 bushels TO
the acre. With this illustration in mind
Secretary Wilson thinks 1t well that
some attention be paid to better farm
ing In the north as we'll as In the
south.
The demonstration farm work In the
south which has been so successful mas
not peen done by any means entirely
by the government. John d. Rockefel-
Ter and other wealthy men have helped
1t along and have footed many OF the
bills. A great deal of the success OF
the demonstration farm efforts in the
south has been due to the enthusiasm
Of DR.. s. A. Knapp. long in charge OF
this work for the government. now
dead. If the work is undertaken In the
north it viii not have the advantage of
DR.. Knapp's enthusiasm to make 1t
successful and 1t is expected that it
will be more difficult to stir up en-
thusiasm in the north than in the
south.
