Learning by Doing
First Farm Demonstration
Was Held 50 Years Ago

If any profits resulted, the farmer
was to reap the benefit.
Walter c. Porter was selected by
the Terrell committee as the farmer
He used about 70 acres of his farm,
almost equally divided between
cotton and corn. Half his acreage
was farmed by. the new methods
advocated by DR.. Knapp and half
was farmed by the customary prac-
tees of the community. The OBJ
ject of the demonstration was to
show what could be done with diff
ferent varieties, fertilizers, methods
of cultivation and planting.
When harvest time came Mr..
Porter found that the new methods
gave him better yields and greater
profit than the old. In fact he
found that he was about $500 better
off than if he had farmed his place
in the usual way.
Here in Montana the demon
stration way goes back nearly
half century. The early Farmers
Institutes begun by the Montana
Agricultural Experiment st a t i n
shortly after the turn of the century
made use of demonstrations. In
1910 boys and girls corn clubs were
organized and here again the 'learn-
ing by doing" method played a
prominent role and these clubs were
the forerunners of today's All clubs.
40 Years in Montana
In 1913 a state enabling act made
it possible for Montana counties to
employ agricultural agents and this
was really the beginning of extern
sion work in the state. Congress
passed the Smith-Lever Act in 1914
creating the Cooperative Extension
Service on nationwide basis to
bring the results of research of the
Immigrant colleges to farm people
With the passage of the Smith
Lever Act, Montana's extension
service entered period of steady
growth in a three-way partnership
the county, the state and the fed.
eral government. Today there are
agricultural extension agents serv.
ing 81 counties and home demon
stration agents in q counties. Some
20 specialists in the major fields O.

adopt improved farming and home
making practices.
The learning by doing" method
discovered by DR.. Knapp has long
been the backbone of the teaching
system used by the Cooperative
extension service and this year
nationwide observance is being held
to mark the fiftieth anniversary of
DR.. Knapp's first farmer conducted
demonstration.
DR.. Knapp's first demonstration
of this kind was conducted at Ter
rell, Tex, in 1908. A year previous
to this the U. S. Department of
Agriculture had appointed DR..
Knapp as special agent for the pro-
motion of agriculture DIN the south.
Among his duties was the establish
ment and supervision of govern
ment- financed demonstration farms,
His experience in this work con-
WINGED DR.. Knapp that farmers gen.
orally would not change their prac-
tees from observing what could be
done on farms operated at govern
ment expense.
First Farmer Demonstration
Meanwhile, the people around
Terrell had heard of the demonstra-
ton farms that the government was
running and decided that they, too,
wanted such a farm. However,
since government-sponso farm
was not possible at that time, DR..
Knapp offered to supervise a farm
demonstration sponsored by the
community. He stipulated that the
people of Terrell appoint a COM
mittee which would be responsible
for selecting a suitable farmer and
for raising funds to cover any losses
the farmer might suffer by his
participation in the demonstration,

the view of the National Capital
Planning Commission that q
Rock Greek roadway should
branch out Of the park at Tilden
street.
The Engineer Commissioner,
who is also member of the

this proposition by saying that
from Tilden street to the District
Line he would have the park
way built along the west bound
airy of the park, roughly parallel
ing Oregon avenue.

fears, Gen. Prentiss said that
the proposed 20O-foot wide, 21a
mile long right-of-Way would
in no way damage the park
for recreation purposes, since
the park is about a mile
wide north of Tilden street. The
old winding roadways close to

he said. Then he added: II have

reported favorably yesterday on
the Byrd resolution, which also
will require House approval be-
fore it can take effect.
The Senate approved the basic
idea several years ago, but the
House has never formally
adopted it. While Representative
Cannon, Democrat. Of Missouri,
was chairman of the House Ap-
preparations Committee. he put
the Single-package plan into
practice several years ago. and
its supporters claimed it resulted
in substantial savings.
There was no basic authorize
ton for it, however, and the fol-
lowing year, House leaders over
ruled Mr.. Cannon and went back
to the custom of splitting the
budget into a dozen or more de-
partmental money bills.
Senator Byrd contends Con-
gress will be more careful in
spending tax money when it
has to look at the budget as a
whole, instead Of appropriating
separately for each function.
