gers on Tour Of Inspection Of Farms
In Christian County, Ky.
feeding of beef cattle promoted, hog
cholera effectively controlled and a
wider market for farm products So
cured.
The farmers were not at first very
cordial toward what was to this coun-
ty an innovation. The whole move
ment was described by one as "abso-
lutte foolishness." With the assistance
Of the progressive men who conducted
demonstrations on their own farms,
this attitude was gradually overcome.
One of the first acts of the county
agent was to form little community or
ganizations, which were used to pro-
mote all kinds Of educational work re-
lating to agriculture. Whole families
belonged to these clubs and their num-
Der gradually grew as their usefulness
became apparent. Today there are
18 such clubs with total member
ship of more than 700
The next step was the organization
Of good roads association in which
the business men Of the county seat
took a prominent part. They gave a
barbecue to the farmers of the coun-
ty, succeeded in obtaining funds for
the purchase Of split log drags which
were given to the farmers cooperating
with them, and turned out to work on
the highways when good roads day"
was proclaimed by the governor. On
one of the principal roads, 1t is said,
at least 80 per cent Of the workmen on
that day were city men.
In dealing with strictly agricultural
problems, the county agent was equally
successful. When he assumed office
the county did not produce enough
corn to supply its own needs and the
average yield per acre was only a
trifle over "a bushels. In 1913 the
demonstrators who had adopted this
method Of cultivation in every COM
nunity throughout the county secured
an average yield of 1873 bushels per
acre. The next year they averaged
40 bushels The lesson of these dem
onstrations was learned so thoroughly
by one section of the county that in
stead of importing 40 carloads of corn
last year, as had been the custom, it
exported eight carloads.
In the opinion Of many persons, how
ever, perhaps the greatest accomplish
ment of the agent in crop demonstra-
tions was the introduction Of crimson
clover for the improvement of the
land and as cover crop. In 1913, $50
acres were sown in crimson clover in
demonstrations on various farms. In

USE SWEET CLOVER
FOR GREEN MANURE
Because of Its Rank Growth Le-
gume Is in High Favor Re-
stores Fertility.

While sweet clover can be lrown
as a substitute for red clover and gen.
orally furnishes more feed per acre,
the most valuable use of the legumO
is for green manuring, according to
F. w. Stemple of the farm crops do
partment, Ohio state university. Be-
cause Of its rank growth it is in high
favor as green manure. The roots
are large and aerate the soil n a
greater degree than either alfalfa or
clover. Those who have grown corn
after both, sweet clover and alfalfa,
claim that the former contributes
more to the fertility than does the al
falfa. 1t is claimed that sweet clover
seeded with oats makes a satisfactory
growth after the oats are harvested
and will produce the following year
green manure equivalent to 20 tons OF
barnyard manure. 1t is especially val
liable for restoring the fertility on hill
sides.

(PreparqS By the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The revolution that was effected in
the life of an entire county by COOP
erative demonstration work is de-
scribed in an article in the new Year
book Of the department Of agriculture
published under the title Of How the
Whole County Demonstrated" In
Christian county, Kentucky, a busi-
ness mems association was formed
four years ago for the development
of the resources Of the county. There
had been other organizations Of the
sort before, but these were interested
chiefly in attempts to secure factories
and other industries for the county.
The new organization devoted itself
chiefly to agriculture. One of its first
steps was to secure funds with which,
in cooperation with the United States
department Of agriculture, to pay the
salary of a county agent. Later, when
the agricultural extension act became
effective, the county agent was recog-
nized as the representative of the col
lege of agriculture Of the State Univer-
sity of Kentucky and Of the United
States department Of agriculture.
The first agent appointed began
work in July, 1912. Since that time IS
