Show FARMERS' ENCAMPMENT ADOPTS NEW MEETING I The Farmers' Encampment will be replaced this year by college partici-1 pation in County Farm Bureau days and county-wide gatherings. It is planned to furnish demonstra-1 tions, exhibits and speakers on the "Live-at-Home" project, which in-: eludes the producing of sufficient meat, milk, eggs, vegetables, and. fruit for the farm family and sufficient suf-ficient feed to care for its livestock. The object in replacing the encampment, encamp-ment, which has been held annually since 1921, is to reach more people with this message of farm production for home consumption. During each encampment, 5,000 to 6,000 people have been on the college campus at one time. Several counties of the state will furnish crowds of that size. The extension service will begin at once through its county agents and home agents to cooperate in preparation prepara-tion of the program for county days already established and to start county-wide gatherings in other counties. |
