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.
