An Illinois lady who is visiting on ur,pey Washingtdn street, while talk ing of Lincoln recalled an interesting experience.

In the evening the partN went to see the fireworks and wera finding seats on the steps of public building. The visitor had put on clean lawn dress and the place was dusty. Mir. Lincoln beckened to her to come to him, and first rising. he sa down, spreading out his long linen 'duster for her use, thereby saving her dress from the dust.

one wears of age. He was born In Iowa
and spent the youthful part OF his life
there, having attended the State College
Of Agriculture at Ames, at the time when
his distinguished father was at the head
Of the agricultural department, and aft
erward president of that institution.
During the period Of his young manhood
his home was in Louisiana In addition
to taking a course at Ames, Iowa. he also
attended Vanderbilt University az Nash
Vile, Tenn, and the University of Michl-
gan. From both OF these institutions he
holds diplomas.
Mr.. Knapp practiced law for several
years in his native State OF Iowa, but
when the demonstration work began to
assume such large proportions he went
to the assistance OF his father, and was
the general ofice assistant in charge Of
demonstration work for several years
previous to his fathers death. Mr..
Knapp had already rendered great serv-
ice to the demonstration work before he
became its head. His legal training was
very helpful in systematizing the meth
DDS Of Office and field work. His early
training and practice in agriculture have
also been Of great value to him.
}. A. Evans.
J. A. Evans. general assistant in the
farm demonstration work. Is one Of the
veterans in point OF service in that great
work. He is one Of the first three men
associated with DR.. Knapp in this work
the first year it was undertaken in few
counties in East Texas, where the ad-
vance of the boil weevil was creating de-
vastation and Generalization.
Mr.. Evans started as a local agent In
East Texas. He spent some time assist
ing DR.. Knapp in the office at Lake
Charles, La, before his headquarters
were moved to Washington As the work
began to spread he was assigned to have
charge OF the States of Arkansas and
Louisiana as State agent for both States.
In that work he was on the firing line
In the boil weevil fight, where he did
great work. There IL perhaps no man

and strongly growing cotton. Conse-
quently, in cases where hopelessness
had settled down, there is now as large
crop raised as was common before
the arrival of the boil weevil. The
farmers who are using DR.. Knapp 5
methods are producing cotton yields
65 per cent above the averages for their
respective States.
| DIR. Knapp's Power.
The secret of DR.. Knapp's power ap-
pears to have been in imparting his en-
thusiasm, his vision, and his self-forget-
| fulness to others. The reformation of
the South's agricultural conditions
which he set in motion was forwarded
by him, and later by those associated
with him, with all the enthusiasm of a
| crusade. He had the fervor of an
apostle, he had the power Of making
! converts. He called" men and they
left their tasks to follow him. His son,
Bradford, now successor to his father S
work, was one of these, abandoning
without a moments hesitation the
chosen work of his life to take up the
duties of still broader field of service.
At a recent meeting of State agents IN
Washington, man after man rose to ex-
plain how he came into farm demon
stration work. he had been called
by DR.. Knapp, and each regarded that
simple statement as explanation sufh-
| cient. These workers have come from
all walks of life.
The speeches in Nashville will define
the place of DR.. Knapp in the heart of
the South and in the service of the ma
ton. At the time of his death there
appeared but little prominent record OF
the great blessings this aged man con-
| ferred upon the South, and in connec-
ton with which he worked to the last
day of his life. From what has been
said above and from the fuller speeches
to be delivered, it will be seen how vast
an influence this one life exerted, and
how revolutionary 1t will be IN its effect
upon the agriculture OF the South
through increasing diversihcation.
In the week of April 8 the Knapp
memorial committee, organized to raise
funds for a permanent memorial to Or.
Knapp, will meet in Nashville. The
membership of the committee is as fol-
lows: President, Chancellor D. e. Bar
row, Athens, Ca; secretary, Clarence

that have been found best. The re-
suits from the boys corn clubs were
startling and immediate Acre by acre
they steadily excelled their fathers, yet,
in the vast majority of cases, the cost
per bushel of corn for the boy was
no greater than the cost of the bushel
to the father, while the increasing num-
bers of bushels placed the boys crop
in class by itself when compared with
the crops raised by the old methods.
The leading boys now for two years
or more nave been sent, at the expense
of the local organizations, to Washing
ton to receive from Secretary Wilson
certificates of distinction, thus return
ing home more determined than ever
to be important factors in the agricul-
tural life of the South.
The success of the boys corn clubs
lead to the outlining of an idea by DR..
Knapp relative to tomato and domestic
science for girls. The plans for this
new department were completed before
DR.. Knapp's death, he having in a very
large measure completed their elabora-
ton.
Before considering the secret of DR..
Knapp's power, his importance rels-
tive to the victorious fight with the
boil weeyil should be mentioned. Util-
izing the researches of entomologists
and studying the whole problem on the
ground in the State of Texas, also tax
ing advantage of the varieties of cotton
plants and utilizing the seed breeding
methods of others, DR.. Knapp showed
to the alarmed cotton growers of the
South that the question of victory over
the boil weevil was largely question
of cultural methods, and not one of
any vain effort to completely annihilate
the pest The effect of the reinsurance
that his investigations gave has been to
promote the planting of carly maturing
The Washington herald., 1912-03-23

convinced by the printed page. Hence,
he protested against experimentation
without demonstration. He inquired as
to whether experimentation had not
now gone far enough to justify great
forward steps along lines of demonstra-
ed agriculture Out of this question in
his mind grew the movement for DEM
onstration farms in the South; the idea
being to permit the farmers of neigh
borhoodS to read in the living pages of
the field the message that they were
slow to believe from the printed pages
of bulletins. The keen psychological
| judgment of the man was Immediately
confirmed, and there are now in the
| Southern States tens of thousands of
demonstration farms operated by farm
ers who consent to cultivate their lands
under the supervision of demonstration
agents scattered all over the South OF
| such demonstration agents there are
now 65o The farmers who are using
Dr.. Knapp's methods are producing
corn Yields more than 100 per cent
above the averages of their respective
states.
Reaching the Boy.
Moving forward from this advanced
position, DR.. Knapp saw that the way
into the mature mind was compare
lively slow, and he argued that if the
interest and enthusiasm of the boys
could be aroused, doubtless much more
rapid progress would be made Hence,
the germ thought of the boys corn
clubs Out of the simple thought there
has been evolved a system that has
aroused and is now holding the interest
of 10000 boys, the individual members
of the various clubs agreeing to be
guided by the instructions of local
director, and to apply to the cultiva-
ton of their corn the scientific methods
