tatlon. tal es laauo with blm and con
troverts the claims made by Dr.
Knapp. Tbe result has been a con
troversy In the public prints that has
attracted a groat deal of attention.
This controversy bos been reopened
a a result of a speech made at Bryan
August 13 by J. L Quicksall. state
agnt for Central and West Texas of
the demonstration farm work of tbe
Bureau' of plant industry of the fed
eral government.
Of tbls speech. Prof. II. L. Mc-
Knlgbt- altant professor of agri-
culture of the A. and M. College of
Texaa who was present says: "In a
lecture to tbe Brazos county farmers
August 13 Mr. Quicksall referred to a
certain demonstration farm In Burles-
on county where the land bad been
broken ten Inches deep and as a re-
sult of this breaking that land Is tbls
esson making thirty-five bushels of
corn per acre whllo tbe same quality
of land broken at an ordinary depth
waa making only ten bushel per acre.
I have aked Mr. Quicksall to tell me
the location of the farm and he de-
clines any further Information. The
reader I left to draw his own couclu-
slont. I always thought that a dem
onstration farm waa conducted for;
ahow purposes that Is these farms '
are planned and operated purely as '
object lessons and 1 cannot under
stand why he will refuse to locate the
farm when asked to do ao purely In'
the Interest of better agricultural
teaching."
Tne following is air. aicitnignt let
ter to Mr. QulcksalL
Prof. J. L Quicksall. Waco Texas.
Dear Sir: I recall that In your addres
to the Brazos cranty farmers you
mentioned an instance where remark-
able results have been obtained this
season by ten Inch breaking. If I
remember correctly yon located this
farm in Burleson county. Just across
tho line from tbls county. I write to
ask If you can give me the exact lo-
cation of this farm and the name of
the proprietor. I am willing to go
some little distance to see such a
result as you describe. You under-
atand of course that there Is much de
bate among agricultural writers and
teachers relative to the value of ex
tra deep breaking and you probably
know also that I once advised this
deep plowinc I am free to say to
you now that I am getting mighty
weak lu the faith. I advised this
method on the strength of what other
people claimed for it. and not from
my own personal experiences. Vy
btiblness here Is to teach correct prin-
ciples of agriculture and I am going
to know the whole truth about this
mooted question If it can be known.
To this end I would be glad to visit
tbe farm referred to by you that I
may see for myself the' conditions un-
der which these reaiorkable results
were secured. You understand Mr.
Quicksall. that In asking for the loca-
tion of tht particular farm 1 am not
questioning anybody's statement

Dear Sir: Will aay that I don't car
to give you tbe data on the farm 'hat
I referred to In my talk at Bryin Just
yet When the crop Is all gathereJ.
and we secure a full report on tbi
crop then I shall be glad giv? U
to you. In regard to our general tench
Ings as to a thorough and deep prep-
aration of the seed bed there con be
no question as to the correctness of
tbe contention. It Is not only support-
ed by the best authorities from a larg
majority of tbe exprlment station
but la aim supported by the practleo
of the best farmers In Texas and the
more I see of this work the more con-
firmed In the faith. I am glad to
note that you are seeking to know the
whole truth of this matter and I ball
o glad to give yon a complete detailed
statement of several of our demon-
strators later In the fall. We too
want to bo very .careful aa to our
recconietidatlona. along these lines

J. L. QICKSALL.
Bute Agent for Central and West
Texas United States Department of
Arrlcnlture Bureau of Plant Indus-
try. W. C. Wellborn says: "The Texas
Experiment Station has not been able
to secure any such remarkable re-
I suit from deep plowing. Indeed tbls
station has not been able to secure
results that will even begin to Justify
the extra expense Involved in ten inch
breaking and we specifically deny
that other experiment station have
gotten suck results ai Mr. Quicksall
claims they have. It seems that Mr.
Quicksall cannot do less than name
and locate tbls particular farm if
( there la such a farm that farmera
and others may have an opportunity
to see for themselves."
