Talk to Farmers
Benefits of DemOnstra-
ton Farms
By Capt. T. F. Peck
G ,ntinued from last week

He says: Farms maintained by
the State as model or demonstration
farms are not of sufficient value tt
justify the cost of maintenance.
If the 90 per cent of our farmers
can be reached, interested and bene.
flied by the practical object lessons
of the demonstration farm, the ag-
riculture of the country will receive
stimulus that it has never received
by the methods heretofore practiced
The demonstration farm, as | have
outlined the particular work that it
is to do of a p actical character, has
never been tried out, The demon
stration farms that have been estab-
lished have been more on the plan
of model farms to show the farmer
what he ought to bring his farm up
to without taking him by the hand
and leading him by easy stages and
practical methods t. the point where
be can reach it.
He saws Agricultural education
is now suffering from the interior
ence of too many quacks. "
7 agree with him that agricultural
education is now suffering from the
interference of too many quacks,
and it is not getting the. practical
common. sense direction that it
should have to make it valuable to
The masses of our farmers who cul-
tivate the great area OF our farm
lands.
He asks the question, why has
the model or demonstration farm
been a failure and why must it eyre
remain such2" would answer him
that the model farm has been fail
ure because the farmers have been
shown something that is imprac-
ticable for them in their present
condition. They have been taken !
to those model farms and shown
land in a high state of cultivation.
They have been shown equipments
they could not afford. They have
been shown that those who operated
those model farms had an unlimited
supply of money to maintain them,
and very naturally they would say
that if they had the money, the
and the land, they might
do the same; but that they had their
to support. their land was
not 80 fertile, they did not have the
money to buy the equipment, and
hey went away discouraged and I
aid that it was impractical Tor them I
md was out of their reach.

for which | am insisting does not
have these objections. 1t meets the
farmer on his own plane. 1t works
under conditions similar to those he
encounters. 1t accomplishes its re-
suits with equipment within his
reach and shows him how he can
do the same, and when the farm is
operated along such lines it will en-
list the interest and active cooper
alton of tile farmer who has been
neglected heretofore or offered
something impractical for him.
He says that the model or dem
onssration farm is failure because
the conditions are different on every
farm. He looses sight of the fact
that the farmer. while he may not
have the technical education, will
compare favorably with other mel
in being able to adjust the practice
to suit conditions on his farm that
might differ slightly from those on
another.
He say that the results are of
little value with the farmer as an
object lesson unless the farm is elf
sustaining. thoroughly agree with
him that it must be self sus tanning,
and not only that, it should pr +
duce a profit and should sh w in
creased fertility each year The !
fact that this has been lost sight of
in the model farm has done more to
make scientific farming Unpopular
with the masses than any other one
thing. The writer of the article
is no broad enough to
separate the work of original re-
search from that of practical demon
3tration. We do not want to inter
'ere with his research work. We
simply want to take it and give it
practical application for the benefit
If the farmers who cannot grasp it
without the aid OF a practical OBJ
ect lesson.
Now, he urges demonstration
work as it is being done by the
JnitedS tates Demonstration Agents
We have no criticism to make of the
work of the United States Demon {
,tration Agents. We regard it as of

boys and girls an opportunity tC
learn how they can improve the
land and make it produce revenues
that will enable them tC provide the
comforts and conveniences that they
naturally desire. The County Dem
onstration Farm can be the center
for community interest. It's educa-
tional value cannot be questioned
In connection with the High School
of the county, it will stimulate in

the Higa School because of practical
lessons he can learn while his boys
and girls are acquiring their general
and practical education.
Now, there isno ona who appre-
ciates more than | do the value of
the work of original research, and
it is because of its value that |
want to place it within the rea n of
the farmers Of today who have not
had the advantages of an agricul-
tural education. They have FAM
lilies depending upon them, child
rem they want to educate and equip

with a demonstration farm and
show them how thew can improve
their soil, increase their crops, how |
they can eliminate the waste caused |
by bad farm management, how
they can improve their cultural
