DEMONSTRATION
A poultry culling and terracing
demonstration was held in the Green

Wolfe farm. Mr. Wolfe and his son.
Werner, are very progressive fdrmers
of that community and they are
striving to- improve their land by
terracing and, farm stock by. culling.
Six men were, faint stock demon-
stration. A lecture on feeding of live-
stock on the farm wqs given by the
county agent in which balanced ra-
tions were advocated, in order to re-
ceive maximum results and returns

THE GONZALE’S FAIR
The County Agent spent I wo and
one half days judging the Gonzales
Fair last week. The Agent slates
that the live stock and agricultural
departments showed 100% improve
ment over last j year. Gonzales coun-
ty’s 'county agf-nt work has proven
many times its worth to it. The De-
Witt county agent stated that he had-
never judged any better grain sor-
ghums in his eight ye-ars of judging
work. Every county needs a Fair and
we will never know- what progress
we have made until wo have some

THE EXTENSION SERVICE AND
HOW IT IS ORGANIZED
The Extension Service is one of the
four coordinate divisions of the Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical College of
Texas.
* It was established under the pro-
visions of the Smith-Lever hill pass-
ed by the 63rd Congress inAhe spring
of 1914, authorizing an appropriation
for co-operative agricultural extension
work between the “Land Grant” Col-
leges that' receive the benefits of the
acts of Congress approved July 2.
1862. and the ^United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
The Extension Service of the A.
and M. College is administered under
a cooperative agreement between the
College and th United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture, executed in‘1914.
The Federal funds appropriated un-
der the Smith-Lever law. the state
funds appropriated by the State Leg-
islature. and afll other funds for ex-
tension work originating by appro-
priation from count? courts or other-
wise Are expended by the College un.

Nitrogen from the air—thousands
ot tons of it—are being manufac-
tured and turned into fertilizers,
right here In the United States.
With all the controversy about

this Is a highly questionable .ven-
ture, It should be reassuring,
therefore, to know that this project

we not only have a plant at Niagara
Falla, turning out great quantities
of air nitrates fixed by the cyanamld
process, but that this nitrate ma-
terial is comh!ned with phosphoric
acid at Y»arners. New Jersey, to
make an extraordinarily high grade
fertiliser. This product to am
tnonlum phosphate, containing 13
per cent ammonia and 48 per' cent

the strength of ordinary fertilizer.
Strange aa It may seem, nearly
all of this high grade fertilizer is'
being shipped out of the country.
Japan has been getting most of it.

quantities. The amount exported
last year was about 35.000 tons. *
Present trade conditions make it
preferable from the manufacturer's
standpoint to ship, this high grade

lands, despite the favt that we nse

without any help from protective
tariffs because of the low original
cost of the product apd because of
the large savings In' freight and
handling due to the concentrated,
nature of the product.
Even .more important to the
American fertilizer consumer is the
fact that this is the same company
—the American Cyanamld Company
—which last winter came forward
with the offer to take the cyanamld
plant at Muscle Shoals—the same
plant, incidentally, which this com-
pany erected for the Government
during the war—and operate It. to-

would themselves build, ahd thus
give the American farmer the bene-

farmers.
Furthermore they would agree to
limit tlieir profits to S per cent on

the Madden bill urged by Congress

winter' and to be re-introduced in
Congress next session.
The American Farm Bureau Fed-
