The science of agriculture Is Is
years ahead of the practice of agrieul-
ture. The farmers do not practice as
vet the principles of farming now
known to the science of agriculture.
This knowledge is being disseminat-
cd among the farmers of Idaho by
means of farmers Institutes, these
movable schools. the experiment sta
tons, the four demonstration farms in
the state, demonstration trains and
field men.
Canyon county is the leading dairy
section in Idaho. The demonstration
farm at Caldwell will hereafter be used
ta further the dairy interests of south
ern Idaho.
/ Il think the best work that will be
done along the line of scientific agri-
cultural farming viii be performed by
the scientific field men. who do per-
sonal work right among the farmers.
Marketing facilities in the north
west need the CO. opera ton Of the farm
ers in order that the condition of our
farmers be improved
The hog is the most interesting agri-
cultural subject for the good of Idaho $
future, as it will prove to be great
profit producer for this state.
The west annually sends $50 900 900
east for meat products, poultry and
dairy products These things should
be produced III the west, and thus keep
lthis vast amount OF money in the west
Experiment Farm in Each County
The time Is coming when each coun-
lty in Idaho will have demonstration
or experiment farm, as is now the case
in Wisconsin.
8 Idaho produces the finest quality OF
seeds in the union. Phosphates and
potash are abundant in Idaho soils and
these are the elements that make for
fine quality. This fact is rapidly be-
coming known among the big seed
house~eof the east, and they are look
ing more and more to Idaho for their
best seeds
