STATE DEARS EXPEKSE.
The State Department will bear
all expense in the establishment of
the farms, and as stated above will
famish all the seed and fertilizers
free to the farmer who agrees to
cultivate the land allowing said
farmer to have all that is made on
the land.
It is believed by the promoters
that this is the best and only way
in which the work of the depart
ment can be brought into- close
touch with the farmers of the
State, and the department feels
sure that the farms will prove of
inestimable value to' the farmers.
It is the purpose to so enrich the
lands to be used in the experiment

be made, but the idea is to ' show
the farmers who have not yet
adopted the' most modern and
scientific methods of farming thit
