How to Use the Demonstration AGENT

The Board of Supervisors and the
progressive business men and farmers,
are cooperating with the L. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture and the A. & NJ.
College and have given us competent
agricultural agent to help US make our
farming more profitable IN Grenada
county.
Now this man can help you if you
will call on him. and just want to tell
the farmers some of the ways they can
use him.
lst. We want to get the hill lands
all terraced, as they can not be built
up until this is done. He can terrace
one or two farms in each community
and instruct as many as will come in
how to do the WORK for themselves.
So. if you have hill land. call on him to
hold one of these terracing demonstra-
tions on your farm. He has his own
terracing instrument md all you have
to DO is to build up CA. . according
End 1t will be the ageHSr O. 70
have one or two farmers in eacisrG
munity whom he will visit regularly.
This farmer will agree to work part
or all of his farm according to the best
known methods. The agent will ad-
wise with him regarding methods of
breaking, preparation of the seed bed,
how and when to fertilize, implements
needed and those not needed, the sys-
TEN of rotation adaptable and profit
able on his particular farm. and any
other problems that might arise from
time to time. If you want to be one
of his demonstrators let him know
about it, since he might miss you if
you don't.
3rd. The Corn Club work is a part
of the Demonstration work and if boy
wants to become a member he can no.
tify either Mr.. Fisher or the Supt. of
Education. We are going to cooperate
with the Supt. of Education in having the
best Corn Club Grenada county ever had.
The Supt. will do the clerical work for
the Corn Club and our agent will help
him enlist and will instruct the boys as
to the best methods of cultivating and
fertilizing, also in getting good seed.
4th. Any farmer who has anything
for sale, list it with your demonstra-
ton agent and maybe he can find sale fol
it somewhere in the county, if not he
will list it with our state Office OF Jack
son and see if it can be sold in the
state. And too. if you want to buy
good cattle or hogs we can find them
for you and get them cheaper some
times than you, and also see what yot
are buying. for you

buying and applying your fertilizers
and have him help you get good seed o.
any kind you may want. He will saw
you money.

lar work, he will vacciuate your caftl

to stamp out hog cholera and blackleg
So if there has been any blackleg o
cholera near YOU. don't wait for SOM
of YOUR stock to die, but have then
