Show . A GEORGIA DEMONSTRATION FARM. "When our firm established a test and plant breeding farm in Troup county, Ga., writes a Southern seedsman seeds-man In Progress, "we had no idea of making it a demonstration farm. In carrying on that farm, however, we used' what we knew to be the best methods, me-thods, although they ran counter to the general cotton-growing practice of that section, .While the farmers who watched our first year's efforts did not condemn' our methods as bad, they did express the opinion that wo were taking a 'heap of unnecessary trouble.' "When our crops turned out about double the yield an acre that theirs did they were convinced that there was something in those .better methods, me-thods, after all, and they are now fol lowed in greater or less degree In that vicinity We were told recently that the cotton crop of that part of Troup county has Increased some 20 per cent through the use of better methods since our work began."
