LITTLE SERMON On FARMING
FROM DOWN SOUTH.

From Louisiana comes splendid
example Of the value Of cooperation
among farmers-and also a harrow
ing example Of loss from failure TO
cooperate. In that state fifteen hun
dred and sevonty-one farmers were
enlisted In movment Tor co-opcra-
ton In corn culture last year. They
were required to follow the instruc-
tions Of state and federal agricultur-
NJ agents In planting and cultivating.
The agents paid regular visits for in
spcction and advice
These farmers planted thirty-eight
thousand acres In corn and their av-
crage yield was 29.OS bushels to the
acre. That's the record OF co-opcra-
ton. Now let's look at the record of
individuals who didn't cooperate.
The rest of the state planted 2.3i7.-
900 acres In corn. and the average
Yield was only eighteen bushels to the
acre. ~ using the methods OF those
who co-opcratcd twenty-five million
additional bushels Of corn could have
been raised In the stato-without ad-
ditional acreage.
or. In other words. each farmer
could have received eleven dollars ad-
ditionai revenue from each acre with
out additional investment or addi-
tionai machinery.
