Com miiy luBt week ben an 0. crutiude In Irtstern WafchlriKton and Kantern Ore uon agaltiHt the summer-fallow plai tf farming, advocating plan of di verto fled cropping of the land. Under the Hummer fallow plan, in general practice thrtitighoiit that territory one- half of the laud M Idle each year and it la for the purpose of Correcting this practice and making each acre productive every year that the cam palgu nf education ailiong the farmer wai begun. The llrst of the so-called "lecture tralim" was run over the 0 H. &. N. lust week, in charge of Geuer hI Freight Agent H 13. Miller, and number of speciailHls and fanning xpeilH talked to fully 3000 farmers at 14 dlflerent points in Whitman county, Washington. The Wanblng ton State Agricultural College Is co'Operatiiig with ihe railroad In tb movement. ' On the demouHtration train, which lei t Pullman, WaHhlngton, on March 6. vere several of the best known agri cultural expert from that college, and a number of exhibits from the exner intent farm at the colh-ge. At differ ent points where the train stopped, crowds of farmers listened to the lec tures and viewed the exhibits, and many questions were answered regarding the new methods advocated. Requests for seed corn and seeds of other crops advocated as profitable to be raised on summer-fallow land were received and tiled, and the seeds will bo neat to the farmers requesting them. So great was the success of ttie llrst demonstration train, and so im portaut the results to be obtained, that other trains will follow into that sec tlon and other sections of Eastern Washington and Oiegou, Great in terest has been awakened In thf project In those wheat districts. The phut which is being advocated Is that of growing wheat one year and corn or sumo other crop next year. Experiments at the Washington ex perduental farm have shown that not only does the lund produce crops ench year under this plan, but the fertility of the soil Is preserved, whereas tinder the old summer-fallow plan It is con tended that the soil will eventually lose Its fertility. Should the plan of diversltled farming bo generally adopted it will double the output; of that entire section.
