THE LESSON OF
THE DRY SPELL.

c. X. McQuarrie is the Floridt
State agent in charge of Farm Dem
onstration work. He is coming ovel
into Putnam county a little later K
talk to our farmers. In a lettel
written a few days ago, Mr.. McQuar
RE said:
The long spell of drought that
the farmers of this state have been
experiencing for the last seven or
eight weeks, while to all appear
anceS it would seem to be a calam-
ity. still there is no doubt whatever
but that it is a blessing in disguise,
for it shows up very concluSively
the splendid results of the farmers
engaged in the demonstration work.
You can today travel the state OF
Florida over and from the train or
whatever conveyance you are IN,
YOU can tell the farmer who is
growing his crops under demon
Stration methods. He is not wor-
rying much about the dry weather
because he has his land well pre-
pared by deep blowing, thorough
soil pulverization and a good seed
bed before planting time. Over and
above that, he is instructed to keep
up constant cultivation as shallow
as possible This, in itself, shows
result that few year ago were not
believable.
We get daily results from the
different parts of the state along
this line. In the western part Of
the state the dry weather has been
more prolonged than in the east
ern, The results obtained are sur
prising, indeed.
Next year we expect to have at
least IS per cent Of the counties in
the state in this demonstration
work. We are we'll equipped now
to take care Of anything along that
line. The district agents are all
the time in the field, visiting coun-
ty after county, and seeing what the
county agents are doing and visit
ing the farmers employed in this
work
While the number Of counties at
present engaged in this work is not
as large as we would like, as indi-
Gated. this number will be largely
increased after the first Of the next
fiscal year which begins July l.
