PEOPLE who do not know Should know that FRIEDRICH "THE TAILOR" turns out the best fitting and best made clothes in Heppner Prof. P. O. Holden, director of the Agricultural Extension Department of the International Harvester Company of New Jersey, has planned and put into operation a new method of ex tending agricultural knowledge, Holden was the originator of agri cultural demonstration trains, of ag rlcultural short courses, and of many other effective plans, through the agency of which millions of dollars have been added to the agricultural wealth of this country. The latest plan of Holden Is to place alfalfa upon every farm. There are three prominent features In his plan: (1) The Introduction of compara tively new crop Into the Corn Belt, Southern and Eastern states and the Pacific North west. (2) Going direct to the homes of the farmers, where meetings are- held in the fields, and success and failure discussed according to local conditions. (3) The use of the most modern ve hicle the automobile. Purpose of Campaign. The primary purpose of the cam paign Is to show the American farmer that alfalfa is the most profitable crop he can grow; that It can be grown profitably upon every farm; that it en riches the soil; increases farm values; stimulates live stock growing and dai rying; produces double that of other hay crops, and Is better feed, Nineteen campaigns have thus far been successfully conducted in Mich igan, Ohio and Illinois. Some of the Results. For example, some of the results of the Kent county (Mich.) campaign are: (1) Six thousand farmers visited at their homes during a five-day campaign. (2) Three hundred and seventy-five miles traveled by the Alfalfa Au tomobile Train, (4) One hundred and thirty-six alfalfa talks made by the Holden staff of alfalfa lecturers. (5) Many applications for similar cam paigns from all parts of the United States The Kent county campaign has been followed by campaigns In Allegan, Barry, Grand Traverse and St Clair counties, Michigan; Van Wert, Marion, F'ulton, Williams, Paulding, Delphoa, Belmont. Richland. Auglaize and Champaign counties, Ohio; and Sanga mon, Stephenson, DuPage and Kane counties, Illinois, and several counties of Mississippi and Alabama. Great Meeting in Ohio. At one meeting in Ohio upon the farm of Joseph E. Wing, near Mechan icsburg, nearly 4,000 people gathered from all parts of Ohio and adjoining states to . learn more about alfalfa. At this great meeting the Ohio State Al falfa Growers' association was organ ized. Over 300 automobiles made up the alfalfa train. It is recorded as the greatest agricultural assemblage in the history of Ohio. Other Ohio counties where the work has been taken up report success on every hand. Sangamon and Kane counties, Illi nois, have both conducted great cam paigns. At one meeting in Williams ville, 111., over 1,200 farmers came to hear the alfalfa lectures. In all of these campaigns which were conducted within a period of about two months nearly 100,000 farm ers have been reached with the gos pel of alfalfa. As a result also of the campaign work it is conservatively estimated that 200.000 acres of alfalfa will be Beeded during this and the coming season. Such is the result of the Initial work of campaigning for alfalfa, but vastly more than this tangible result has been accomplished. Every farmer throughout the region where the work was conducted is talking about al falfa. The co-operation of the schools In the territory is a very important and effective feature. Professor Holden has expressed himself as considering it the most wonderful experience and the most efficient work from the farm stand point that he has ever undertaken. But this is not all wherever the farmers of any community are inter ested In the growing of alfalfa, when possible a follow-up man, thorough In his knowledge of alfalfa culture, will be sent out to assist them In getting a start. He will live with the farmers and aid them In solving the problems at home. He will j go from farm to farm upon request and study success and failure. Before the coming of 1914, cam-1 palgns will have been conducted In , every part of the United States and i Canada.
