WHAT FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK
IS ACCOinSHIi 111 GEORGIA
By Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of Agriculture.
During the year 1913 more than 10,-
000 Georgia farmera co-operated with
the Georgia State College of Agricul
ture and the Department of Farm
Demonstration Work of the United
States Dureau of Agriculture. Os this
number 5,600 were enrolled as dem
onstration farmers and 6,236 as co-op
erating farmers. These farmers who
had 18,000 acres of corn planted and
handled under the direction of super
vising agents produced an average
of 36.3 bushels per acre. They had
15,000 acres planted to cotton which
made an average yield of 1,303 pounds
of seed cotton per acre. The 4,055
acres of oats produced an average
yield of 43 bushels per acre. No bet
ter arguments need be made in favor
of fanning according to the improved
methods recommended by the agencies
promoting this work.
Among these farmers, 27,600 acres
wars sown to winter cover crops to
he plowed under in spring. This in it
self is so vital to the upbuilding of
Georgia soils that if nothing else were
accomplished. It would amply Justify
the outlay for demonstration work.
Os course, demonstration work is car
ried on In cowpeas, velvet beans, po
tatoes, sugar cane, sorghum and win
ter legumes; likewise in live stock.

farm practices that are new to the
southern cotton planter.
Farm demonstration work means
showing the farmer how to put into
practice the results of experiments
and knowledge gathered from the
whole world of farming; knowledge
that one person could not acquire by
his own experience in a thousand
years. It means further that the farm
er can be saved from mistakes which
others have made. In no occupation
is there so many possibilities of error
as farming. It is the purpose of the
experiment stations, colleges and fed
eral forces working in agriculture to
detect error and warn the farmer as
much as it is to guide him with test
ed knowledge of the right way to
farm.
The farm demonstration work is
rapidly increasing in Georgia. It has
been difficult to meet the demands,
considering the limited means and
properly qualified men at hand. It Is
not only the duty of the College of
Agriculture to act as a clearing house
for Information, but it is its duty to
equip men to act as leaders in this
popular modem movement. In this
latter respect it will be almost impos
sible for the College with its present
capacity to turn out men fast enough
for the work.
