Ladies and Gentlemen:

ever be known. Possibly u will

es are wholly dependent upon the
agricultural pursuits OF this coun-
try.
Ten years ago our government did
not realize the Importance connect
ed with agriculture. But since our
population has increased so rapidly
IL has attracted the attention OF our
government and today they are cat
ering 10 the needs Of the farmer
with outstretched arms holding
budgets like the Smith-Lever Bill,
Federal Aid Bill, other appropria-
tions for the benefit Of the American
farmer for which we are grateful to
our Congressman J. w. Langley for
his support.
Agriculture is the oldest OF all
occupations. 70 was practiced in the
olden times by the Romans, Greeks
Egyptians, Bablonians. and Syrians.
You can read about IL in the Old
Testament how Egypt was a corn
country.
Europe. my friends. Is the greatest
agricultural country on the globe.
They are 100 years ahead OF Ameri-
ca in scientific agriculture. Ger
many, France, and England are the
leading agriculture countries OF
Europe. Are we going 10 remain
in idleness so far as scientific agri-
culture is concerned? No: I repeat
II mo" Necessity is the mother OF
inventions. We are making progress
and have been since Eli Whitney in
vented the cotton gin in 1893, in fact
since cattle were first brought to
New England in 1921. The Depart
ment Of Agriculture was organized
in 1862.
Our work is just now beginning.

Is being made. ! can see in the flu
ture greater improvements. can
see agriculture in the schools OF
Jackson County. can see the edu-
Gators equipped with knowledege OF
the soil. Our annual production OF
corn for the last ten years has been
$500 100000 bushel produced on
95, 0O0 900 acres Of ground - an av-
erage OF twenty-six bushel per acre,
and more than one-half the farmers
average less than twenty-six bushels
per acre; twice this quantity is a
fair crop; three times this quantity
is a good crop. and four times this
quantity is often produced.
Along the lines Of improvement
that will most easily and quickly
double the present production per
acre is:
1. Improvement in quality Of seed.
2. Improvement in condition OF
soil.
3. Improvement in method Of cul-
tivation.
Soon may be the time when we
can double our corn yield and all
other crops grown; soon hope
will he the time when the school
boys and girls Of America can have
