CROP DOCTOR
WORTH WHILE
The Scientific Advice From the GRAD
yates OF the Agricultural Schools
Is Very Valuable
is A VERY GREAT ADVANTAGE
Federal Government Will Give s1e4,ooo
Ii Iowa Appropriate Same for
Crop lmpr ovement Work.

Some farmers in Iowa DO not think
the county crop doctor is worth
whitehall they can get along or
their farms just as well or little BET
ter without going to the expense OF
having this scientific advice from men
who have been through the agricul-
tural schools.
But the Greater Iowa association
thinks otherwise. The association is
confident the farmers of Iowa will be
in favor OF the county crop doctor
when they realize the advantage to
be yained-and the mighty small cost.
Federal Government Appropriates
The national government passed .
law two or three months ago,fcalled
the Lever bill 1t apprcpriates each
year $4,000 TO every state in the
union for crop Improvement work
carrying the result OF scientific agr-
cultural Investigation right to the
farmer on the farm. This $4,000 viii
come to Iowa from the federal gov
eminent every year. Then. in addi-
ton, 100000 will be appropriated
next year and each year thereafter
the sum will be increased by $500
900. SO that at the end OF seven years
the national government at Washing
ton will make an annual appropria
ton Of Sl.5S0,00o for crop improve.

thousand dollars OF this will be given

Iowa has pretty nearly 4 per cent of
the total rural population OF the Unit
ed States and, therefore. will be ell
titled to receipt OF nearly ! per cent
OF this Sl.l0o.OU0, or $4,000 each
yeas.
However. Iowa has to appropriate
an equal amount in order 10 get the
federal appropriation. II Iowa will
