farm run down, the man who is

him medicine as he can stand it;
go on to his own ground, work un-

under, and prove to him by results
that he can do the same thing.
You will never reach him by TAX
ing him to model farms, by taking
him to Experiment Stations where
he finds expensive equipment,
where the plat experiments con.
fuse rather than enlighten him.
After you have taken him under
conditions similar to his own, and
have shown him how he can accom-
plish results within his reach, he
will then begin to seek for more
knowledge, and it will not be long
until he will be seeking the bulle-
tins, and he will have grown to q
point where he can grasp their
meaning and apply their lessons to
his particular conditions. The
child has to crawl before it learns
to walk, and the backward farmer
has to receive his lessons in farm
ing in a way he can grasp them.

farming must be overcome. If we

been done has presupposed that
the farmers were educated up to
the point where they could UNDER

Some have been, and the work has
been effective with them, but with
the majority of farmers they have
not been able to grasp the lessons
as presented and they are getting
no benefits. We must build bridge
to span the chasm dividing the Ex-
pertinent Stations and the farmer.

tions of the Experiment Stations.
They think they would have to
qualify for making the same kind
of Investigations, that they would
have to have expensive equipment
of every character to do scientific
farming. If we wonld help them
we must make them understand
that because of the expense of
conducting experiments to solve
all of the problems the government
has taken up the work for them,
and they are saved that expense.
After a problem has been worked
out, they have only to adopt the
method of cultivation or follow
directions to get results, and they
can do so with their own equip
ment and labor on their own farms.
[ think this problem could best
be solved and the active coopera-
tion of every farmer in the State
enlisted If the National and State
Department of Agriculture and
the Experiment Stations would
get together and conduct a demon
stration farm in every county in
the State. Not an Experiment
Station-buta demonstration farm.
The County Court of any county
or individuals in the county could
be found who would furnish every,
thing but the direction. The
county or individual furnishing
land, labor, stock feed and the
machinery would receive the crops
and improvement on their land.
The farm should be conducted
along practical and scientific lines
with two especial objects in view
the improvement of the soil and
large yield. Every farmer should
have both objects in view. With
such a farm in every county with
capable direction, we could prove
to the farmers that it is practical
to take rundown farm and build
it up, and at the same time make
the farm produce profit.
We could demonstrate to the
farmers the right way to build up
soils by deep breaking, turning
under vegetable matter, thorough
ly pulverizing the soil, how to store
and converse water in the soil for
the plants; how to prepare seed
beds; how to plant and cultivate;
how to harvest and market crops;
how to compound rations for their
farm animals; how to save all the
barnyard manures and apply to
the soil to get the best results and
how to select the right kind of
farm machinery and take care of it.
And one of the most important les
sons of all is to show him that what
he has termed scientific or "book
farming" as he sometimes calls it.,
can be done with no more expense
for equipment than is incurred by
the average farmer equipm ent

Doubtless it will require closer ap-
plication to work. 1t will re quire
the farmer to give more practical
attention and thought to his work
to do things in business instead
of haphazard way. But when he

State. They have thoroughly
proved that it can be done. can

State that had been run down un-
til with the methods employed it
was Improbable, but member of
the family came in contact with
modern practical farming; he made
study of the methods employed;
he learned what he could by q
study of conditions of the ground,
and he secured books that gave him
more thorough knowledge. He
went back home and took charge
of the old farm, and today HE
neighbors will tell you that the
farm is worth five times what it
was when he took charge; that he
has the most attractive home in
the neighborhood; that it was
mortgaged when he started, and
now the farm is doubled in size by
purchase of adjoining land and he
has bank account.
The Experiment Stations are
doing their work well; they are
solving the problems for the farm
ers. The problems confronting
the Department of Agriculture is
to demonstrate to the farmer the
practical way to improve their
farms, increase the production of
their crops, and make home life
on the farm so attractive that our
boys and girls will take their par
ents places and continue the work
of making Tennessee the richest
State in the union. The develop
ment of the mineral and timber
resources of Tennessee, together
with the growth in manufacturing
and railroad construction, has cre-
ateda an enormous demand for labor
at an advance over the prices for
merly paid for farm labor. The
farm laborers have left the farm
and the farmers have been short
handed; they have been compelled
to reduce their acreage in cultiva-
tion or less thoroughly cultivate
the usual acreage. The result is
seen in the neglected fields and
poorly cultivated crops.
We need to reduce the size Of
many of our farms. We have far
mers that are land poor-they have
more land than they can cultivate.
The Department of Agriculture
and the Bureau of Immigration
are working to give relief to the
farmer by publishing bulletins of
the resources and productions of
the several counties, giving all the
information that the homeseskers
and investors would want. These
bulletins will be placed in the
hands of people who would be de-
sirable citizens of Tennessee, and
try and induce them to come here
and buy farms or as laborers or as
manufacturers. We want desira-
BILE immigrants to help us to do
our part in making Tennessee what
it was planned to be--the Garden

good cause and the author VIII accept this as our
apology for doing so.
l would like to talk to you this
week about agricultural conditions
In our State and the relation of the
Experiment Station to the farmer.
When we travel over the State and
see the CALLED and washed land, the
tumble-down houses, rotten fences,
overgrown with briars on some
farms, we feel like we are losing
ground agriculturally, but when
we look into the matter, we find
that we have made a substantial
increase in production of all the
crops except wheat and oats.
But to the pessimistic farmer
who thinks we are going backward
would like to tell him that in the
total value of all farm land in 1910
as against 1900 shows an increase
of "a per cent; in farm land and
buildings 81 per cent, an increase
of 81 per cent in the average value
of land per acre. There has been
a decrease in acreage of farm lands
of 2 per cent. This l give to show
you that conditions in general are
improving.
We have great many farmers
all over the State who are keeping
in touch with the Experiment
Stations and profting by the re-
$ults of their Investigations. They
are learning how to rebuild their
soil, how to conserve the moisture
for their growing crops, how to Sc
lect seeds, how to prevent the soil
from washing, how to cultivate and
how to harvest their crops. They
are learning how to avoid waste of
time, to apply business methods in
conducting their farm operations
that will stop many leaks and place
the balance on the right side of
the ledger.
While this is being done by the
wide-awake progressive farmers
who keep abreast of the times, we
have a class of farmers who are
making a pretense of farming as
their fathers and grandfathers did,
who say it was good enough for
their fathers and is good enough
for them. They lose sight of the
fact that when their fathers were
farming the soil was fresh, rich in
plant food, we'll supplied with hu-
mus in the soil and would grow
good crops with little effort on the
part of the farmer. They lose sight
of the fact that conditions have
changed, their soil has changed,
and they can not hope for results
unless they will change to meet the
changed conditions.
T While [ am at the head of the
Department Of Agriculture for
Tennessee propose to do all l can
to encourage agricultural educa-
ton. I am going to try and bring
the backward farmer and the Ex-
detrimental Station closer together.
The stations are doing their work
of original investigation, and doing
it we'll. If our fathers would prac-
tice what the Experiment Station
teaches, in two years the produc-
tion of crops in Tennessee would
be doubled.
You ask why the farmers do not
practice what the stations teach.
A few Of them do, but more OF them
do not. l have been on both sides
of this question. l was born and
afew up on the farm. l have done
every kind of work on the farm
from clearing the land up. | can
remember very we'll when | looked
upon scientific farming in the same
way many of our farmers do today.
