Mr.. carroll's Address.
e. V. Carroll. Secretary of the Sc
dalia Boosters Club, in speaking of
the many benefits Pettis Co. has al
ready secured from a Farm Advisor,
said, in part. eve found that the
law requiring the burning of hogs
which have died from cholera was
not being adhered to and the dis
ease spread because ofthis. We imme-
diately took steps to olse it was en-
forced.
'In the matter Of seeds we made
fight against adultered goods be-
ing sold the farmer. We found that
much of the red clover seed showed
IS per cent dodder seed, that South
ern grown alfalfa would not grow we
in our climate and that farmers, who
were buying it were wasting their
money, some OF this seed being sold
there was too old to grow well while
other specimens had weeds in It. We
secured only the best seed for farm
ers and saw that only that grade was
sold to them.
During pleasant weather We hat
many out-on-the-farm Institutes.
Farm work was looked over in the
morning, at noon an old fashioned ba
ket dinner served and in the after
noon lectures on different subjects.
Zone mans orchard was dying,
and we assisted him to save it b!
finding what the real trouble was, an
eradicating it. The apple crop tina
year was the greatest the count,
ever had. We found a market FOL
them where before the orchard mer
had been forced to sacrifice thei
crop either because they could fin'
no good market or because the frui
was inferior
THE farmers became enthusiastic
over the farm meeting and each vie'
with the other to have larger crow
than the other"
These are just few of the man
benefits he told of.
