and found to be enthusiastic over the idea
Then there was a big meeting, and the
Henderson Commercial Club practically Though
not literally transformed itself into the Henderson
County Crop Improvement Association. The men,
bership fee fixed at a dollar year, and every
body interested In the welfare of the town and
county was invited to join. Scores of farmers who
ten or fifteen years ago would have ridculed the
suggestion that they hire an expert to teach them
new tricks in agriculture, had their enrolled
and went home to urge their neighbors to join.
The Department of Agriculture sent them Mr..
Charles A. Mahan, young man with degree
from agricultural college and several years ex-
perence as a field agent for the Department In the
States and in the Philippines. Mahan began at
once to lecture at villages and give practical adj
vice all who asked for it. To the surprise of ev-
erybody, the farmers iocked to his meetings and
listened with rapt attention as they ever gave a
spread-eagle spelbinder during an exciting politi-
cal campaign. And number of them were en-
thusiastic when he proposed to have them experi-
ment with crops on their farms under his per-
sonal instructions. The Fiscal Court, which gladly
fell in line with the farm promotion movement at
the start, turned to Mahan the county poor
farm to be used for experimental purposes
The agricultural adviser is helping the apple
growers the dairymen, and the livestock raisers; he
is making laboratory tests of soils and Seeds and he
is lecturng and giving general advice to the pro
ducers of the regular tobacco and grain crop. In
fact he is doing everything he can for the general
promotion of better farming.
The story is good illustration of the wonderful
awakening in Kentucky and other States south of
the Ohio River. The value of land in Kentucky
has almost doubled in the past ten or twelve years,
and the farmers realize that they must either adopt
modern methods or seek some other means of max
ing a living They have all the natural advantages
that they need and there is every to believe
that their advancement during the next ten years
will be marvellous

to contrast the up to- date methods of Illinois with
the old-fashioned methods of Western Kentucky.
The contrast impressed him deeply, and while he
was thinking about !; there came into his active
mind an inspiration.
When Harris went back to Henderson he sat
down and wrote letter to the Bureau of Plant In
dustry in the Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington. He asked If good farm expert could be
employed by the year at reasonable salary, and 1t
the Department could give him any practical sug-
gestions. In three four days lie received reply
assuring him that the hiring of a scientifically
trained agrculturist by the year was the very best
thing that community like Henderson county
could do; they not only offered to help him find just
the right man for the position, but agreed to pay
half of the salary. Then Harris began to look
around for further assistance.
He evolved the idea that some large trade or
ganzation in big city might be induced to
tribute something for the carrying out of his plan
Bankers, merchants, railroad presidents, and men
of prominence in other lines of business were talk
ing about the necessity of undermining farming in
the less progressive States, why should not some
of them be willing to spend little money to fur
ther the Henderson county schemeP The first large
organization that bobbed up in his mind was the
Chicago Board of Trade and he took advantage of
his first opportunity to go to the Windy City and
find out what, if anything, it was willing to do.
Putting on good 'front.' Harris went some of
the leading members of the Board of Trade and
stated his case. Yes, the idea all right, they
said and the experiment might prove to be of
national Importance. Harris carried back with him
an agreement to donate thousand dollars year
for two years to the general fund of farm develop
ment organization.
The next thing he did was to lay his plans before
the local Commercial Club, and, with the assist.
nnce of several fellow members, he enlisted the
operation of the County Fiscal Court, which con-
trolls the county's business affairs. Leading farm
ers from all parts of the county interviewed

THE Commercial Club of Henderson, Ken
Il lucky, set out to build big industrial cen
ter Its members we're ambitious 70 make Hender-
son young Pittsburg and they began to adver-
tise what they considered its unusual advantages.
Large ti-boards proclaimng the cheapness of fuel,
the exemption Of new enterprises from taxes and
water rents for long periods and exceptional traffic
facilities were erected along the railroad tracks,
large quantities Of advertising literature were cir
culated and the towns cleveres takers were sent
to large cities interview prospective investors.
But Henderson did not take on the appearance
of a Pttsburg a Gary a Birmingham. The
place already had a healthful growth, which con
tinued as in the past, but the number of smoke
stacks did not increase at appreciate rate.
Henderson is the trade center of naturally fer
tile but poorly developed agricultural section of
the State. For more than hall century the farm
ers dragged along using the methods of their great
grandfsthers and barely ekng out skinny exis-
tence from soil that would have made them well-to-
do had they given it half a change. They just
like millions of other farmers scattefed throughout
the country. They did not progressively merely
drifted. The town was not altogether to blame for
that, but it missed its great opportunity to its
money and its energy in the promotion of better ag-
riculture The effort wasted in trying to secure
outside help to build up industrial city would
have worked wonders among the farmers and, in
directly, it would have helped wonderfully in the
upbuildng of Henderson.
But the Commercial Club not destined to
follow cold trail forever There came time re-

time. Harris spent a vacation with relatives in
