NO DEMONSTRATION
TRAIN this YEAR

A lOSClC IullIlS Vi Cn0 ODlCoQ
States Department of Agricul-
| ture is to the effect that extern
sion workers receiving any part
OF their salaries from the Smith
Lever fund will not be al
lowed to accompany or in any
other way assist with agricul-
tural demonstration trains. This
ruling prevents any members of
the u. of A. Agricultural Ex-
tension Service from partici-
pating in agricultural demonstra-
ton trains. The reason for this
ruling is not difficult to see, and
it is interesting to note that
the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice had already come to SINH
lar decision, before this ruling
was made, that agricultural
demonstration trains were not
an effective form of extension
work. 1t is believed that the
amount of money which is spent
on agricultural demonstration
trains can be more effectively
used for other forms of exten-
sion work, such as financing the
work of extension specialists
and county farm advisors. Ex-l
perience has shown that the
most efficient work is being done
by means of repeated visits by
these extension workers to indi-
vidual farmers, groups of farm
ers, and farmers organizations.
1t is not enough to simply run a
demonstration train and make
a great deal of noise and attract
a big crowd, for this does not
bring results. AS a rule, not
long after the demonstration.
train has passed, the farmer
has forgotten what he saw on
the train, or only has a mixture
of remembrance of what he did
see. The real effective work in
extension lies in the follow-up."
After the farmers interest has
been awakened, it is the desire
of the Agricultural Extension
Service to make him repeated
visits so that he may be assisted
in putting into practice any new
ideas that he may be interested
in.
In the Annual Report of the
Agricultural Extension Service
the following statement appears:
The demonstration train has in
the past served to attract atten-
ton and arouse much interest,
but from the viewpoint of eff
cheney and results the Superin-
tendent believes that it will not
be desirable to operate such a
train in the future unless more
abundant funds are available.
The cost to the railroads and
the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice of this six weeks trip is
about $4,000, which could be
much more effectively spent in
other forms of extension work.
Two thousand farmers visited
personally on their farms by ex-
tension specialist would derive
greater benefits measured by
dollars and cents than 20,
people mot all farmers) receive
from visiting the demonstration
train. Five thousand dollars
would pay for visits to 1000
farmers, for 200 farmers meet
ings attended by 5000 farmers
and their families, and for many
cooperative demonstrations,
boys and girls clubs, and farm
ers' organizations besides. F"

plant his acre, he would have
had twenty-five tons of potatoes.
But his ground is on a very
steep side hill, and the rows are
made with the contour of the
hill which made it necessary to
have the rows very far apart in
order to get in the irrigation
bitches. The rows were from
81 to A feet apart. thereby losing
a lot of ground. If the patch
had been on level ground, he
would have had four rows where
he only had three on the steep
side hill.
THE cost of producing these
twenty and three-quarter tons
of potatoes on an acre of ground,
was $275. 70, not counting Mr..
Parsons labor. The actual cash
expended was as follows:
60 tons stable manure $3.50. 90
Commercial fertilizer, !

Labor, digging potatoes 63.50
Total cash paid out $275. go
Mr.. Parsons has selected out
fifteen tons which he is selling
for seed. For this he is getting
5 cents per pound, and the or
ders are pouring in from all
sides, as he has already estab-
lished reputation in his county
for choice seed. He will sell
directions, of those that are too
large for seed, to families in
Grass Valley, at So per hundred,
the balance he will keep for
seed and home consumption.

Total --------$1, $40. 90

for his labor ST, 344. 30
This is a pretty good practi-
cal demonstration of what can
be made on one acre of ground.
1t also shows the benefit of Sc
lected seed.
For seven years Mr.. Parsons
has selected seed from the hills
showing the greatest amount of
potatoes. perfect and true to
type. He plants the Burbank,
and changes his ground every
year and by this means has kept
his seed free from disease. -
In the southern part of Navajo
county among the pines may be
found just as good, if rot better,
potato producing land as in Ne
vada or any other state. But
the farmers of this part have
not yet been convinced, it seems,
that potatoes are a paying propo-
sition, and but little acreage,
possibly just enough for home
consumption, is planted each
season to this vegetable. Our
advice to farmers is to plant
more potatoes. There's surely
money in them.

Cram Holds Up Approval Of

Property owners and representatives
Of civic organizations In Brooklyn ap-
peared yesterday before the Public Ser
vice Commission to oppose approval OF a
contract for third tracking the Fulton
street elevated between Nostrand avenue
and Court street. The Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company urged immediate ac-
ton on the ground hat IN option which
Il has on steel necessary for the struc-
ture expires to-day and upon the further
ground that the decision of Referee
Brown In the Joseph Kaplan case dis
roses finally OF the objections of Fulton
street realty owners.
Kaplan brought an action tn entotn
work now progressing In Fulton street
on the ground that consents were i'm
properly obtained and nat the third
tracking would injure property by shut
ting out light and air. Referee Brown
decided against kaplan. hut the answer
TO this argument OF the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit yesterday was that the kaulan
case will he appealed and that the COM
mission ought to take no action until the
matter has been settled by the courts.
