been stered up in the pamphlets and
archives of the agricultural schools
and colleges.
‘Taking part in the campaign, either
in an advisory. capacity or as speak-
ers, were the following members of
the Agricultural Extension - Depart:
ment: C. M. Carroll, formerly with
the Crop Improvement Committee; W.
R. Baugham, a prominent rancher and
alfalfa grower of Texas; J. E. Wag-
goner, formerly of the Mississippi

Farr, assistrnt covnty surerintendent
of Cook County, Tineis: the Hen. G.
H. Alford of Georeiz, and C. H. Allen,
a retired banker of Ohio.
That the f-rmers were ready for
the blessirgs which alfa’'fa strews
over a neighborrced which gives it a
neighborly welcome, was evidenced
everywhere by the crowds that
greeted the campaigners at every
stop. At no time were any of the
speakers without an encouraging au-
dience, and on some occasions the
party was obliged to divide, a part ad:
dressing the school children while
others spoke to the farmers. The ad-
vent of the cortege into a community
was made Alfalfa Day in the schools.
In the towns the children paraded out
to meet the autos, singing special al-
falfa songs and waving flags. It is
estimated that between three and
four hundred farmers in that one
county alone pledged themselves to
make a start with alfalfa and do it
according to the rules laid down by
Federal Expert J. H. Skinner.
Kent County, in the census of 1910,
was credited with raising only 73
acres of alfalfa, but all indications at
the present time are that by 1915
there will be 10,000 acres flourishing
with this legume. It was shown that
on the typical sand or clay loams east
of the Mississippi alfalfa could be
raised as easily and as surely as
clover yielding three crops a season
and that it was the greatest plant the
farm world has yet discovered for
extraeting nitrogen from the air and
storing it up in the soil, thus re-
juvenating run down and over-crep-
