TELLS HOW TO SAVE

DEMONSTRATORS IN NANsEMOND
OPPOSED TO CRUELTY TO
FARM MACHINERY.

Blacksburg, Va, March IA
favorite argument against the work
OF the demonstration agents In sixty
or more counties of Virginia Is that
they are theorists only: that IA young
man just cut of college cannot pos
sibly teach an experienced farmer any
thing about agriculture when this
knowledge of the subject Is limited to
textbooks and class room lectures.
Just to show that one demonstration,
to say nothing OF the rest, has a pretty
clear notion OF one way in which the
farmer can save his money. the fol-
lowing letter, written by the demon
strator In Nansemond. TO every farmer
I'm his county, Is given publicity. The
writer is a graduate in agriculture Of
the V. L. I. and his work has at
tracted much favorable comment. Tho
demand Cor the services of the college
graduate in the demonstration service
is increasing each year and they find
no difficulty in getting positions in
this and other States. Mr., Blandford
writes:
