ABOUT A MODEL FARM.
Idea a Good One, But Farmers Would
i. Not Visit II.

am very often asked the question
why |, as demonstration agent for.

&c 90 Sc n. end after | had gottel
tho lend In a fine state OF cultivation
and began to. make fine crops they
would be convinced and go home and
do likewise Now, this is very Inn
portant question and my answer TO II
Is as follows A demonstration or
model farm Is alright and there Is no
sort OF question but that II can be
made a success and prove that the
demonstration work IL all. and even
more than is claimed for It. But there
are not enough OF farmers that would
go to see this one farm for II to have
the desired influence, no difference
how attractive II may be or how
successfully II may be run. ] grant
that quite a few farmers Will 90 to
see this farm. seeking real informa-
ton. but a large majority Of them
will be men who have already studied
these problems and methods and have
put and are putting many OF them In
to practice and the men that this work
was intended to help most, many OF
them, will never be found visiting this
model farm or reaping any benefits
therefrom.
To substantiate sthis fact, | have
urged many farmers to visit the little
farm OF Mr.. X. NJ. Nall, whom every
body knows lives at the city limits,
right on the side OF the most travelled
public thoroughfares in this county,
and there they can see for themselves
Just what making corn by demonstra-
ton methods is. BY visiting this
farm one will see corn standing there
in the hot dry sand and green to the
ground and will make from 80 to 10
bushels per acre. Notwithstanding this
corn was planted April 5th. But ]
have been informed that this fell
has not been frequently visited. Now,
| want to say that this piece OF corn
Is on land that was as poor as the
poorest spot in Brazos county when
Mr.. Nall took hold OF II five years ago
II was actually old, light sandy.
washed-away land. Now, mention
I Mr.. Nall because he is the most con
vicinity located, but he is not the
only one that is making corn by i'm
proved methods. There are numbers
of others in the county and without a
single exception they all make corn
who try II. To go farther with my
argument | cite my friends to the A.
and NJ. College with its splendid ex-
pertinent farm and feeding and breed
ing station. will venture the asser-
ton that there is not five per cent OF
the farmers in Brazos county that visit
these places during a whole year. or
course this is deplorable and should
not be so, but It is so. The govern
ment's idea OF taking the work into
a mans field is the correct one. There
get him peronally interested to the
extent that he is willing to cooperate
with the governments man in putting
these methods into practice. The gov
eminent is making an honest effort to
enable the farmer o adopt methods

happens that while most clover has

France and the Frsnehman.

The French are probably the most
patriotic people In the world The
average half educated Frenchman Is
firmly persuaded that his country Is
an oasis Of civilization surrounded
with illlmitable stretches OF barbarism.
This is what he believes. but his
courtesy prevents him from being Of
fensive about II. In his estimation the
rest Of the world simply does not
count He knows that there are other
parts Of the world, but they are not
worth his while to visit or to inquire
about That is why the Frenchman
rarely travels and never emigrates
He will ask you with surprise why he
should travel, seeing that he Is already
In France and that he has no taste for
savages or wild beasts And as for It's
government, 1t is VIGOROUSLY the best
In the world with future so glorious
as to defy the Imagination. He will
say all this with dlsarming charm.
He plties you for being a foreigner,
but he does not hate you on that &C.

holes for the head and arms. For
days together offenders against the
