HOLDEN PLANS CAMPAIGN
FOR DIVERSIFIED AGRICULTURE
TO UNITE PROMINENT INTERESTS IN SOUTH
TO ASSIST IN THE WORK
Agricultural Extension Department to Aid Any Community Inter
ested in Conducting Campaign to Encourage the Growing of
Alfalfa—Live Stock, Silos, More Pastures and a Better Sys
tem of Crop Rotation Will Be Urged.
Alfalfa Automobile Trains Important Feature of the Work—Schedules to Be
Arranged and Meetings to Be Held at Farm Homes—Prominent Speakers
to Accompany Each Alfalfa Train—Organizations Will Be Formed in
Each Community to Promote the Work—Field Men Experienced In Alfalfa
Growing Will Follow Up Preliminary Work Wherever Possible and Give
Aid in Getting a Start—Prof. P. G. Holden, Director Extension Department,
International Harvester Company of New Jersey, Chicago, Will direct
the work.
The campaign will be conducted in co-operation with farmers’ institutes,
bankers, business men, farmers, commercial clubs, granges, live stock and
dairy associations and other organizations in any community where the peo
ple are anxious to improve their agricultural conditions and are willing to
give time and money to carry on the work.
County and city superintendents of schools, colleges, institute workers,
Chautauqua lecturers, and others interested in the work will be assisted in
obtaining alfalfa charts and lantern slides. Literature and booklets will be
given wide distribution throughout the country. Special alfalfa articles will
be sent to farm journals and magazines, and plate and matrix pages to news
papers. Special editions of newspapers will be published where campaigns
are conducted. Dates will be arranged for "Alfalfa Day” in the schools.
To Begin Campaign Work In Cotton Belt Immediately.
Work to bo started immediately in the cotton belt states and In the
east and wbst. Thirty to forty meetings will be held in each county, the
Number depending on local conditions.
To accomplish the most in agricultural development, we must begin
with the man behind the crop. Upon him depends the final working out of
the principles of agriculture—the simple and practical things —which our
schools, colleges and experiment stations are endeavoring to bring into gen
eral use.
Professor Holden proposes to carry these principles further even than
the very effective work done on the agricultural trains, by using that most
modern vehicle —the automobile —going directly to the people on their own
farms where the meetings are to be held.
Alfalfa Greatest Soil-Enriching Crop.
Agricultural development needs In addition to the work of our public
institutions, the individual efforts of every merchant, banker, corporation, or
laboring man, and this plan calls for their heartiest co-operation.
This plan for increasing the yields of our crops by the more extensive
growing of that wonderful soil improver, ALFALFA, is meeting the approval
of all men who have any knowledge of the beneficial results of its Introduction
as a general crop.
Campaigns are now being conducted in many of the central western
states, and Professor Holden Is daily answering requests for his assistance in
organizing other localities, and invites cordial co-operation with every com
munity Interested.
Where campaigns are contemplated it is required, first, that a request be
made to the Agricultural Extension Department for assistance in carrying on
the campaign.
What the local people will provide:
(1) Expenses (meals and lodging) for the alfalfa speakers and staff
upon their arrival and during the campaign.
(2) Where the campaigns are conducted by automobiles alone, from ten
to twenty automobiles for each day of the campaign to carry the alfalfa crew
and invited guests; one auto truck to carry literature, baggage, charts, and
other equipment.
(3) Where the campaigns are carried on in co-operation with the rail
roads, automobiles and railroad equipment must be furnished.
(4) Arrange for meeting places and publish schedule of same.
(5) Local advertising.
(6) Photographer, if possible.
The Agricultural Extension Department will provide:
(1) Advance men to assist in organization work.
(2) Lecturers.
(3) Literature.
(4) Special educational articles for newspapers and farm journals perti
nent to alfalfa culture, object of campaign, etc,
(5) Field men to follow up the preliminary work and aid the people in
any community where sufficient interest is shown to warrant It.

Agriculture means more to the peo
ple at large than all other things. It
is the most vital subject now holding
the publid mind. The work of agri
cultural and industrial education is
a very large and a very Important
work. The Agricultural Extension De- :
partment of the International Harvest
er company of New Jersey was or- ,
ganized to develop the agricultural
efficiency of the people, who are till
ing the soil and producing the crops :
upon which we live.
The work of the department is car-1
ried on in many ways. First, by go- I
ing direct to the homes of the peo-1
pie, and assisting them in their homes I
with their problems.
Another method is the dissemina- i
tlon of educational literature. The |
department has at present for dis- j
tribution a number of interesting i
booklets covering many phases of ag- ;
riculture and other subjects, all of;
which are of special interest on ac- i
count of their educational value. They
are not for sale, but will be sent any- ;
where at the cost of postage or ex
press and may be obtained by writing
