MIN EDUCATINGMAN BEHIND THE PLOW

Georgia Senator AdvocatesEnactment of Bill for Agricultural

Extension.

To carry knowledge of scientific agriculturalmethods directly to the man betweenthe plow handles, and therebyincrease the agricultural products or this

country by at least 20 per cent, SenatorHoke Smith In a speech in the Senatetoday urged the passage of the SmithLeverbill to establish agricultural extensiondepartments in colleges of agriculture."The annual value of our agricultural

products is. in round figures, $0,000,000,000,"Senator Smith said. "If the increaseas a result of this work wereonly 20 per cent, we would have an increasedvalue of $1,800,000,000, or a sufficientsum to meet the proposed appropriationfor 000 years."

Refers to Morrill Bill.Senator Smith pointed to the passage

of the Morrill bill for the establishmentof land grant agricultural colleges ineach of the states of the Union, and ofthe Hatch bill for the establishment ofan experiment station in each state. Uponthem the government Is now spendingabout $4,000,000 annually. Much of thismoney and of the $15,000,000 appropriatedeach year for the exclusively agriculturalwork of the Department of Agriculture,he stated, is spent in investigating andexperimenting to show how the best andgreatest crops can be raised."There are students at those colleges

who are obtaining much aid from the instructionwhich they receive, but there isno sufficient provision to carry to thefarmers at their homes the valuable informationwhich has been and will be obtainedby the work of the colleges andexperiment stations," continued the senator.

Methods Proposed."According to the plans of the bill," he

continued, "the representatives of the collegesin the various states will enlistfarmers who, under the direction of therepresentatives of the Agricultural College,will test the value on their ownland of the information brought by therepresentative of the college."In one place, the representatives of the

college will teach and, by experimentation.demonstrate the best manner of caringfor fruit trees. In another place, thebest system for feeding cattle and stockand dairying and butter making may bethe subject of demonstration. Demonstrationwill also be made in home eco-nomics and labor-saving machines."In Europe, where such work has been

conducted. Senator Smith said, is foundproof of its value.
