agents, and at this time there are

there are lady agents in charge Of

Its success is due largely to the

Public lectures and printed matter
do not inspire action among the
farmers as do the personal efforts Of
an earnest experienced, fellow
armer performing the duties Of
county demonstration agent. Success
is certain to attend the work Of any
county where 1t receives the hearty
support of the business interests and
the county agent is an honest oner-
.ctic, capable, farm educated man.
The cost of the work is insgniii-
-'9nt compared to the benefit to be
ierived, if properly conducted and
ctiveN supported by the business in
lerests.
The ederal appropriations for the
demonstration work in oklahoma
ldye never been large enough to em-
lloy county agent for more than
lalf the counties in the state. To
make the annual appropriation cover
rs much territory as possible com
Jaratively low salaries have been paid
% agents and they have been em-
Jloyed but from seven to nine
months per year. This has made it
difficult to secure competent men for
county agents, besides 1t is not pos
sible to secure the best results where
he county agents work but part Of
the year.
Commercial clubs, banks, and other
business interests frequently have
paid the salary of the county agent
Turing his furlough that the work
might continue without interruption.
Help i'm Extensions.
The belief in the effectiveness Of
securing the adoption of better meth
DDS of agriculture by conducting farm
demonstrations under the personal
supervision Of county agent who
travels from farm to farm, has
rown very rapidly within the last
two or three years. More and more
commercial clubs, banks, and other
business organizations are contribut-
ing time and money to aid in carry
ing it on and extending it. The rail-
roads have taken great interest in
the work and aided very effectively
in masy ways. The TT Smith and
Western. the Midland Valley and the
". O. @. are paying part of the sal
aries of number of the agents in
counties through which their lines
run. The Frisco has en Ployed a

agriculture the success of which was
not dependent upon one crop, espec-
tally cotton.
The success and popularity Of the
work is indicated by its rapid growth
from one agent and one demunstra
tion farm in the beginning to over
a thousand agents with many demon
stration farms scattered over the en-
tire cotton territory of the south.
Growth of Work.
The demand for work Of this kind
has become so strong from all parts
of the country that it will doubtless
very soon be extended to all the other
states. our authorization has been
enlarged until at this time we can
establish the work in any county in
Oklahoma whether cotton is grown
in that county or not. The work has
been carried on in Oklahoma about
five years, however. there has never
been funds sufficient to carry 1t on IN
more than half the counties In the
state. In the summer of 1907 two
agents were appointed for Oklahoma,
one for the east and one for the
west half of tn state. In 1905 there
were seven agents appointed under
the supervision Of one state agent
In 1903 there were thirteen agents
In 1910 there were twenty-eight
agents. In 1911 there were thirty

with the federal demonstration work.
i New Association Forms.
One Of the purposes of the Eastern
Oklahoma Agricultural Association,
which was organized in February u
this year and of which Mr.. }. j..
Darby Of Muskogec is president, was
10 assist in extending and maintain
ing the demonstration work. Chiefly
through the efforts of this OrganiZa-
ton contracts have been signed and
agents employed in Cherokee, Craig,
Creek, Haskell, lie Florc, Mcintosh
Mayes. Muskogee, OkmulCeC, Usage,
Sequoyah, Tulsa and Wagner coun-
ties Under these contracts the
county agents are employed b. the
year at a living salary Ono-half oi
which is paid by the local people,
and One-half by the L. S. Depart
mcnt of Agriculture. Similar ar
rangements have been made in Beck
ham, Grady. jackson and Pontotoc
counties. A smaller part of tho
agents salary is being paid locally in
Logan, Canadian and Garvin counties.
A law was passed during the last
Legislature authorizing county com
missioners under certain conditions t.
appropriate not to exceed $4,000 peg
annum toward the salary Of the
county agent Of the demonstration
work.
The total amount of local aid tc
apply on the salaries Of county agents
in oklahoma for the next fiscal year
Is at this time over $15,000.00.
county agent is expected to ar
range for as many demonstration
farms as he can visit regularly every
four or five weeks during the grow
ing season. The average for each oi
The oklahoma agents is thirty-two In
cotton, tWonty-siX in corn and IL In
kafir: the average size Of each
demonstration is about eight ana
cne-half acres In his monthly visits
to these demonstration farms the
agent not only advises with the farmer
on the proper cultivation of the
demonstration plat, but assists him
with all the problems of farm life.
As To Young Folk,' Clubs
4 very important part Of the duties
II the county agent Is TO assist in
organizing and supervising the Boys
aud Girls club in his county. In the
Federal Boys and Girls club work
special effort is being made this year
to make the work something more
than mere correspondence course
in agriculture. Only those boys and
girls are kept on the rolls who are
actually doing the work required.
Cotton Club members must plant ana
cultivate two acres of cotton; Corn
Club members and Kafir Club mem
bers one acre each of corn and kafir;
Canning club members must have
one-tenth acre in garden, and the
Pig club members must fatten a pig.
These boys and girls must also make
reports and attend the meetings being
called by the county agents for per
sonal drill and instructions. A re-
markably large per cent Of them are
doing this. The indications now are
that seventy-five or eighty per cent OF
total enrolment will make reports
and complete the work. We have re-
ports from about 5000 boys and girls
on the progress they are making in
the work.

GOVERNOR AMMoNs OF COLO
RADIO MAKES ARGUMENT
BEFORE EXECUTIVES.

Salt. Lake City, June g. Argu-
ments favoring a more liberal policy
toward the homesteader by the feder-
al government in its administration
in public land affairs in the western
states were made at the second days
session Of the conference of western
governors here today. Governor E.
M. Ammons Of Colorado delivered the
first address on the subject of Our
National Conservation Policy"
An invitation from Colorado Springs,
Colo, was read inviting the western
governors to meet with the national
conference Of governors in that city
next August.
There is a great association IN
Washington maintaining a lobby to
put the western lands on leasehoId
basis" charged Governor Ammons in
an address in which he attacked the
general land policy Of the federal
government. The government says
our western resources would go into
monopoly if put under state Con
troll. They say we are not law abid-
ing. I want to call your attention to
the disgrace that happened when the
women marched down Pennsylvania
avenue in Washington Why, gentle
men, such a disgrace as that which
happened in our capital city would
not have happened in the toughest
mining camp of The toughest state n
the west in the toughest days. Yet
they say we are not law abiding.
Great heavens, what dc they call
themselvesY
"If the government goes into bust
ness it shold be on an equal basis
with the men with whom it does busi-
ness. Under the present reclamation
projects, if the homesteader violates
his contract he is hailed into court,
but if the government violates it, and
it often does, the homesteader has no
redress"
