crops. Humes to retain the mois
ture is a necessity and this is best
produced by turning under soy
beans and COW peas.
Analysis of soils alone is net de
pendable as we do not have control
of the moisture demonstration work
on the soils themselves is the only
way of certain results, this may be
done by co operative work in the
different communities assisting in
the work. The Dept. of markets
is great adjunct, in educating to
uniform methods of packing and
selling.
Demonstration agent needs to
have technical skill as well as prac-
tical knowledge. The Government
lays out certain lines of fifty or
more demonstrations. These need
proper distribution to suit climate
and soil conditions.
