He had completed His sermon Jesus, who
always does more for US than we do for
Him, told them to push Off into deep
water and all throw your nets for
haul" The night before had evidently
nothing, and had been washing their
nets of the stones and sand, and intending
what had been torn by violent storm
when Christ requested the use of their
boat. The title given Christ shows that
Peter and his companions recognized
Jesus as an overseer and they obeyed,
although the night before they had
caught nothing. Obedience to Gods law
always bring prosperity. The catch over
whelmed Peter and his partners. The
significance of the miracle was in the
preparation of the followers of Christ to
heed the Lords request. Follow me and
take men alive
The summons was given to men who
had confessed Him as Christ and enrolled
as His followers. Jesus did not ask them
to enter His training school to be edu-
Gated for peculiar ministry without
knowing their fitness. The two pair of

were not perfect men. They were busy

FARMERS WILL
Be Benefited
COOPERATIVE DEMONSTRATION
WORK Is FOR PURPOSE OF IN
STRUGGLING IN A SIMPLE WAY
HOW TO INCREASE EARNING
CAPACITY.

The Farmers Cooperative Demon
stration Work was tnaugurated In
Texas In 1904, primarily on account Of
the rayages OF the Mexican cotton boil
weevil, and the general deterioration
of farm conditions. The plan Of this
great work, which has proven so eff
fective and eminentIy successful, was
conceived by the late Or. s. A Knapp.
whose ability as an agricu1turist is
too well known to make comment
necessary.
Cotton being the greatest cash crop
of the south, and the boil Weevil
proving beyond any question To be
the most destructive Of all cotton
pests. rendered II necessary for the
national government 70 appropriate
funds sufficient TO carry ON the work
With DR.. Knapp in charge, and a
small corps of local agents, the work
was begun in a few of the eastern
counties of Texas. The effectiveness
OF the work proven the first year
caused the spread of the work faster
than that Of the weevil, and IS now
in operation in thirteen states. II has
proven Of inestimable value to the
southern farmer. Thousands all over
the south testify to its beneficial ef-
fects. The scope Of the work has no
limit. The fundamental principles Of
successful farming are carried to the
farmer by the local agents. Nothing
only practical advice is given. The
farmer is asked 10 do nothing only
such things that have been proven
successful. It is simply theory re-
dUced to practice The agent gets the
farmer to break, prepare. plant and
cultivate a small portion Of his farm
according to instructions. The plats
are located on public highways. If pos
sible. as object lessons
The aim Of the work il to teach
the farmer in a simple and practical
way how to increase his earning ca
pacity. which is the basic principle for
all future prosperity. The ultimate
purpose of the work is to improve
every phase of farm life and make IL
what ii should be. The average yields
OF the standard farm crops in the
state of Florida are entirely too low
TO be profitable. The remedy for this
unnecessary condition is taught by
the following demonstration methods:
