Figures Worthy of study.

There are number of good hints in
the following. which take from Fin
anciai America. a paper printed in New
York:
IF each acre of improved agricul-
tural land in this country could be
made to yield only one additional bu-
shell OF produce. 1880 evtra trains
of fifty cars each would be required
to move the aggregate increased yield.
Etshty bushels OF corn Will make
more net profit I'm one Year than n
fifty bushel acreage for four years
for about forty bushels yearly is re-
quired to come out even on high
priced land Truths of this sort are
what our farmers should be taught.
and the only practical way to bring
them to their attention is to go right
to their farms and establish practical
field demonstrations.
Qualified demonstrations are neces-
sary for such work, but their eX-
pensc has been fully justified by the
results following their appearance.
More than 500 farm demonstrators
have been teaching farmers in the
South In the last seven years, with
excellent returns to the agrlculturists
and 1t seems. that sort of practical
agricultural instruction might he ex-
tended to every county In our prin-
cipal farming States. Bankers aaso-
ciations are agitating the extension OF
agricultural education along this line.
and a bill Is now before Congress
