FARM DEMONSTRATION
WORK BEING EXTENDED
Great Demand Over Country
for Advice From Govern
ment Experts.

Cooperative farm demonstration work
Is being extended by the Depart
ment of Agriculture this year all over
the country, largely in response to the
demand of Congress. where the MEM
bers found this work was greatly de-
sired by their constituents.
In previous years all of the farm
demonstration work was done in the
south. 1t was an idea originated by
the late S. a. Knapp. Under it the de-
partment sent practical agents into the
field. and each took hold of as many
farms as he could handle. and put in
the whole season, from early fall to
the following harvest, teaching the
working farmer the best way of get
ting all he could out of his land and
at the same time improving it. instead
of robbing the soil.
Production Doubled.
The result was that the demand for
this work spread all over the south. On
the average the demonstration agents
managed to double the production on
a given farm without increasing the
expense.
VIXEN the enthusiasts for the Department
VI Agriculture were presented TO the
last Congress both houses voluntarily
increased the amount appropriated for
demonstration work. giving altogether
nearly half a million dollars more to
the work.
1t was arranged also that the DEM
onstration should be extended to the
north, and this year there are to be
several score of farm demonstrators
placed through the northern states. The
right men are hard To find. and mostly
l, h. 4,
number in the north Will be increased
as rapidly as the men can be trained
Scope of Southern Work.
The southern section extends in a
straight line west through southern
Maryland from the Atlantic seaboard.
There are over 1000 farm demonstra-
ton agents at work in the south this
year. and they are handling thousands
of farms The most remarkable point
of the work is that the people Of the
south are really spending more money
on farm demonstrators than is the
federal government
They have seen the results of the
work, and many Of the communities
and business men are subscribing funds
out of their own pockets to have the
work extended

bruised, and illfed mules are the nrst
to die. Intelligent planters say that
II mules are we'll fed and cared for
and creased twice day while work

when attacked.
The remedy most highly recon-
mended for the Injuries caused by the
bites, Is to rub the animal Thoroughly

grains Of carbonate Of amonIa to one
pint OF whiskey, repeating the dose
every three or four hours until re-

PEST A MOST SERIOUS ONE
ALONG MISSISSIPPI VALLEY

Agricultural College, Miss, June
| -(Special)--The Southern buffalo gna
Ia one OF the most serious pests known
to owners Of stock In the southern
Mississippi valley. IL usually appears
eoon after the first continuous warm
spell In early spring, varying In its
time OF appearance according as the
spring Is early or late. All the c0un-
ties OF this state bordering on the
Mississippi and even some Inland
counties, are subject to invasion by
this insect
Various remedies have been tried
for the prevention and destruction OF
this insect, most OF which, however,
have proved impracticable. The most
satisfactory way Of dealing with 1t,
Is to use some repellant or preventive.
Smudges have thus far proved the
best method Of protecting animals
against the buffalo gnat.
Many planters, during the year, col
lect all sorts OF materials which will
produce dense and sitting smoke,
such as leather, clothing, dried dung,
etc. As soon as the gnats appear
they begin burning these materials
and keep the fires going until the in
sects disappear. Smudges are located
In the fields To protect the working
teams, and IN cities tires are kept be-
fore theedoors of livery barns.
