Mr. Scott 's proposition involves the
establishment of 10(1 exsTimental
farms of one acre each in every county
in a group of four western agricul
tural states for the purpose of giving
the farmers a practical demonstration
of the best methods of growing differ
ent kinds of crops. It is proposed that
the lands for this purpose shall be fur
nished by the fanners, themselves, and
that they do the work of cultivation
under the direction of the experts of
the department of agriculture.
No additional appropriation from
congress will be reipiire.l to test Mr.
Scott's plan. It is explained, as the
agricultural department now has the
re.piisite number of experts to carry
out the plan.

A large congregation gathered last
night to hear evangelist Van Marter.
