FARMERS LOSE HEAVILY
BY IGNORING ADVICE
VoOrman, of Department of Agricul-
ture, Shows Value of Science.

If the farmers of the United States
would put in practice the methods
worked out and advocated by the de-
partment of agriculture the value of
crops would be increased $10,000,O0O
for each growing day, Carl Voorman,
assistant secretary of agriculture, de-
clared.
The department is endeavoring to
safeguard the living, the home and
the family of the farmer, said Mr..
Vrooman, and therefore is engaged
in sort of insurance business. In
this work $25O,OO,OOO has been ex-
pended in the last half-century, with
the returns just beginning to come
in good shape.
"The farmers who have followed the
advice of the department of agricul-
ture are the ones who have gone
ahead. But, unfortunately, the ma
jority of them have not. The farmer
has contended that our bulletins and
other measures are too scientific for
him and are not practical. AS mat
ter of fact, to a certain extent, this
was true for long time, but we are
gradually popularizing our bulletins
simplifying our instructions and max.
ing them more practical.
Congress passed the Smith-Level
bill two years ago. That puts farm
expert in every county there is dep
uty secretary of agriculture. These
men are practical as well as scientific
