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 nee of that most modern ve
hicle —the automobile.
Purpose of Campaign.
The 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 Seed.
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- ;
salsa Growers’ association was organ-1
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- I
nois, have both conducted great cam-1
palgns. 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
work it is conservatively estimated
that 200,000- acres of alfalfa will be ।
seeded during this and the coming I
season.
Such is the result of the initial work
of campaigning for alfalfa, but vastly
more than this tangible result has:
been accomplished. Every farmer
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 Holden 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.

responds with becoming modesty.
Officer Printype says: "I am overwhelmed

ance in your midst I am simply doing my
sworn duty in ridding the business and
financial districts of 'he bad characters
that for years have made typewriters a
menance to your eyesight. I have m< rci
lessly exposed and relentlessly pursued
these dangerous typewriter types, which
are responsible for more cases of defective
vision than all o her causes combined.

Oliver Typewriter Building, Chicago, any
machine whose type is violating the Opti
cal law and I’ll have the offender haled

PRINTYPE IS OWNED AND CONTROLL
ED EXCRUSIVELY BY THE OLIVER
TYPEWRITER COMPAEY
America rings with praise and ap
plause for Printype. This superb
new typewriter type has attracted
more attention than any typewriter
innovation brought out recent years
Hundreds of thousands of people
have seen this new type and wond
ered what it was that ma-de prin
type correspondence seem like a
spoken message. There’s virility,
strength and charm in printype cor
respondence. There’s refinement
and “class” and style. Not pecause
of its novelty—it’s inherent in type.
A Vast Improvement
Printype is designed in shaded let
ters and numeral, like the type in
whice books and magazines are
printed. It is book type transformed
and adopted to modern typewriter
requirements.

H. S. HURWITZ,
This radical departure from the old
style “outline” letters male’s it pos
sible to produce, on the Oliver type
writer, a page of manuscript as clear
and attractive as that of the finest
book. The Oliver is the first and
only typewriter that aucces-fully
prints print.
The Primary Reason
Printype resulted from our discovery
that “outline” type, with its same
ness, due to absence ot shading,
wus harmful to the eyes.
The Silent Test
For months, without any advertis
ing, we put. hundreds of Printvpe
Oliver Typewriters into actual serv
ice, in many diverse lines of busi
ness. We wanted the public verdict
It came in a burst of admiration and
a flood of orders that proved prin
type a brilliant, success. Printype
letters, wherever seen, excited the
keenest interest. Business men who
received their first printype letter
almost invariably answered, post
haste--“where did you get that type
Thus printype captured the country
without firing a single shot.
Price Not Advanced
The Printpe Oliver Typewriter sells
for SIOO. You can pay at rate of 17
cents a day The new type adds 25
per cent to the value, but not one
cent to the price. A small cash pay
ment brings the machine.
