lack of knowledge on the part of the
farmer as to his costs and income has
often been responsible for lack of in

Let the results Of farm demonstration
already achieved answer.
These are summarized in the annual
report of DR.. B. L. Galloway, chief of
the federal bureau Of plant industry,
under whose supervision the work is
carried on. According to his report
the average yield Of cotton on demon
stration farms during the past ason
was IS per cent. higher than the aver
age yield elsewhere. In addition to
this, in the boil weevil infested dis
tricts, the demonstrators were able to
raise profitable crops, Notwithstanding
the presence of the pest, and the meth
DDS they use are being rapidly adopted
by the neighboring farmers.
The yield of corn, too. was raised
go per cent above the ordinary level.
The report thus sets forth what may
be termed the by-products of the dem
onstration work.
ssIt has brought about widespread
interest ard greatly increased practice
in maintaining soil fertility by legum-
inous crops, a greatly increased ten
aency to grow home supplies and make
cotton the cash crop, nearly twice as
large sales Of improved machinery in
the south in the past year as in any
previous year, and great increase in
the number of pure bred stock intro
duced and grown
All this has been accomplished with
demonstrators in comparatively small
number of counties. What can be ac-
complished with demonstration in ev-
cry farming county in the union may
easily be imagined. Decidedly, it
would be worth while.

forts and while the profit sharing plan

Ia neat little sum being secured for the

ed. The World trusts that the plan will
meet with favor, and while it is moth
ing exceptionally new, still we believe
that it is considerably different than
any campaign ever waged, in that It is
not a popularity contest, but a pur+
circulation campaign venture. The
World has faith in the community and
is willing to go the limit to prove its
faith in the Lake Region, until it be-
comes 'sby-word" in every home.
