ORIGIN OF SCIENTIFIC FARMING

v IS b.
y In these days, when science is max
ing two blades of grass grow where
only one grew before, a word as to
the beginning OF the new departure in
farming may be timely. The begin
ling may be said to date from half n
century ago. IT is Just fifty years
since Lincoln signed, the bill which
has established agricultural colleges
in every one of the forty.eight States.
1t set apart 100000 acres OF, the
public lands, to be divided amonA the
States in proportion to their repre-
sentation In Congress. This was made
the basis Of many Of the State uni
yersities, especially in the West,

however, and had his name promi

Of Its farming, stock raising and fruit
growing interests. For several years
paststh annual product of the coun-
try's farms and plantations has en-
ceeded $S.OOOOOO,OOO.
THE agricultural college act followed
a, few weeks after the free homes law
was signed. Thus June and July,
1862, were landmarks In the develop
ment OF American farming. The prog.
ress In this vast field which has been
made in this half a century is stu.
pendous.9 From the beginning the
government haSgborne prominent
part in this development. 1t created
the Department Of Agriculture in
1883. with its head member of the
cabinet. The work of this department
and OF the agricultural experiment
stations costs the government several
millions OF dollars annually, but this
outlay much more than pays for It.

act was passed as supplement to
the free homes law of 1862. and under
1t millions OF acres of desert or semi.
desert are being transformed into the
most productive lands in the world.
While much improvement in Ameri.
can farming is still to be made, some.
thing along this line has already been
