Sunday was a record day for North

Great Meeting in Ohio.

At one meeting In Ohio upon the
farm Of Joseph L. Wing, near Mechan-
icsburg. nearly 1900 people gathered
from all parts of Ohio and adjoining
states 10 learn more about alfalfa. At
this great meeting the Ohio State Al
falfa Growers association was organ
lied. Over SEQ automobiles made UP
the alfalfa train. 1t is recorded rs
the greatest agricultural assemblage
in the history of Ohio. Other Ohio
counties where the work has been
taken up report success on every
hand
Sangamon and Kane counties. ILL
noIs, have both conducted great cam
paigns. At one meeting in Williams
vile, H., over 1900 farmers came to
hear the alfalfa lecturers.
In all of these campaigns which
were conducted within period of
about two months nearly $4,000 farm
ers have been reached with the gos-
pei Of alfalfa.
AS result also of the campaign
work it is conservatively estimated
that 100000 acres of alfalfa will be
seeded during this and the coming
season.
Such is the result of the initial work
of campaigning for alfalfa, but vastly
more than this tangible result has
been accomplished. Every farmer
throughout the region where the work
was conducted is talking about al
falfa- TIE cooperation of the schools
in the territory is a very important
and effective feature. School officials,
from the highest to the lowest, have
never failed to appreciate the oppor
tunity.
Professor Holden has expressed
himself as considering it the most
wonderful experience and. the most
efficient work from the farm stand
point that he has ever taken
But this is not all-wherever the
farmers of any community are inter
ested in the growing of alfalfa, when
! possible a follow-up man, thorough in
| his knowledge of alfalfa culture, will
! be sent out to assist them in getting
/ a start. He will live with the
/ farmers and aid them in solving
/ the problems at home. He will
4 go from farm to farm upon re-
! quest and study success and failure.
Before the coming of 1914, cam
paigns win have been conducted in
every part of the United States and
Canada. Interest is growing so rap
idly that many counties have organized
campaigns and undertaken the work
without assistance from the outside.

Purpose of Campaign.

The primary purpose of the cam
paign is to show the American farmer
that alfalfa is the most profitable crop
he can grow; that it can be grown
profitably upon every farm; that it en-
riches the soil; increases farm values;
stimulates live stock growing and dai-
rying; produces double that of other
hay crops, and is better feed.
Thirteen campaigns have thus far

Prominent Features.
GOING TO THE FARM HOMES
Thirteen Campaigns Have Been Car
ried on in Michigan, Ohio and Ilii-
nois-HoIden's Plan Meets Warm
Reception With the Farmers.

Prof. P. G. Holden, director of the
Agricultural Extension Department OF
the international Harvester Company
of New Jersey, has planned and put
into operation a new method of ex-
tending agricultural knowledge.
Holden was the originator of agri-
cultural demonstration trains; Of ag-
ricultural short courses, and many
other effective plans. through the
agency of which millions of dollars
have been added to the agricultural
wealth of this country.
The latest plan of Holden is to
place alfalfa upon every farm. There
are three prominent features in his
plan:
Cd The introduction of a compare
lively new crop into the Corn
Belt, Southern and Eastern
states.
CD Going direct to the homes Of the
farmers, where meetings are
held in the fields, and success
and failure discussed according
to local conditions.

hicle-the automobile.

Weekly Letter of John H, Page,
Commissioner Mines, kanufac-
lures and Agriculture.

Much corn and cotton of recent
planting is now coming up and is
ready to receive attention, II
would always be better if the
corn and cotton both were har-
rowed after it came through the
ground, running the h a rr o w
across the rows. 1t is not always
practical to use the harrow on the
cotton where it is bedded and
for this reason it would be better
to not bed the cotton, but to level
the bed, or plant level.
Where the land is low and wet,
this plan will not be best. as the
bed is necessary to keep the
young cotton out of the water
and prevent its drowning out in
the spring rains, If it is practi-
cal to run the harrow across the
rows of corn and cotton. it will
prove a good thing 1t will loos-
en- the ground and will rid the
field of a good deal of young
grass and weeds. 1t may seem
like it will be too destructive, but
experience will teach you differ
ent and you will find that you
have a good stand left.
Be ready to meet the great bat
ties you are sure to have with
grass. Wet weather will likely
come along and keep you out of
the young corn and cotton longer
than is good for the crop, but
keep things moving ESQ that you
can be in the field every time the
ground is dry enough to cultivate.
Whenever the ground is too wet
to pillow, be getting your plows,
tools, gears ETC., ready to pitch
into the crop at the earliest mom-
ent without delay. BY keeping
up with your work and always
making preparation in advance
you will be better able to win the
battle with the grass and keep
your crop always growing. If it
gets too wet to pillow and stays
that way too long. take up the
hoe and GO after the grass any
way. Do not pillow when the soil
is too wet. 1t will be hurtful to
the growing crop.
Now is the busy time to get

BRYAN GRAPE
JUICE BANQUET
TO PRESS GANG

A Bryan grape juice banquet
will be served for the Arkansas
editors who attend the press
meeting in Memphis May Is,
following the State meeting in
Mariana, and just prior to their
taking a boat for St. Louis.
When the Arkansas on Wheels
excursionists reached Memphis a
year or so ago thev were banquet
ed, and elaborate preparations
were made for the occasion.
Fermented grape juice was por-
ton of the menu, and when the
State-widers in the party heard
of it their hands went up in holy
horror. The business o. Mem
phis made a quick turn and trot-
ted our red lemonade until all
were satisfied as if they had been
to a circus.
Knowing the tendency of Ark
ansas editors toward Statewide
prohibition, the business men of
Memphis decided not to tempt
fate twice in the .same manner,
so this year took the precaution
to write aheadsand find out how
the party would stand on wine
as a portion.of the feast. Secre-
tary Earle w. Hodges has writ
ten to those preparing the big
feed, suggesting that grape juice.
which has become a fnation's
drink .since the Bryan dinner,
was sufficiently strong for the
