CAMPAIGNING
FOR ALFALFA
Object of the Work and Results
Obtained—Some of the
Prominent Features.
GOING TO THE FARM HOMES
Thirteen Campaigns Have Been Car
ried on in Michigan, Ohio and Illi
nois—Holden's Plan Meets Warm
Reception With the Farmers.
Prof. P. G. 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
ricultural short courses, and 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 a compara
tively new crop into the Corn
Belt, Southern and Eastern
states.
(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 that most modern ve
hicle—the automobile.
Purpose of Campaign.
Tho 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.
Thirteen campaigns have thus far
been successfully conducted In Mich
igan, Ohio and Illinois.
Some of the Results.
Results of the Kent county (Mich.)
campaign are:
(1) Six thousand farmers visited at
their homes during a five-day
campaign.
(2) Thirty-two meetings held.
(3) 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 parte 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,
Fulton, Williams and Champaign coun
ties, Ohio; and Sangamon, DuPage
and Kane counties, Illinois.
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 automoiles 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 lecturers.
In all of these campaigns which
were conducted within a period of
about two months nearly 50,000 farm- !
ers have been reached with the gos
pel of alfalfa.
As a result also of the campaign j
work it is conservatively estimated j
that 200,000 acres of alfalfa will be J
seeded during this and the coming '
season.
Such is the result of the initial work
of campaigning for alfalfa, but vastly j
more than this tangible result has
been accomplished. Every farmer j
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. School officials,
from the highest to the lowest, have
never failed to appreciate the oppor
tunity.
Professor Ilolden has expressed
himself as considering it the most
wonderful experience and the most
beneficial trip from the farm stand
point that he has ever taken.
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
go from farm to farm upon re
quest and study success and failure.
Before the coming of 1914 cam- j
paigns will have been conducted in !
every part of the United Spates and
Canada. Interest is growing so rap
idly that many counties have organized
campaigns and undertaken the work
without assistance from the outside.
