Some of these farms are doing good work and should be en- 

 couraged ; others may be improved so that they may become real 

 demonstrations of practical farm management. 



We found in a few instances cooperation between the county in- 

 stitutions, the jail supplying labor for the county farm and receiv- 

 ing in return agricultural products. This work should be encour- 

 aged and developed to a greater extent. 



This Department feels that there are opportunities for nearly 

 every county to have a splendid farm where employment may be 

 given to our county charges and where their work may in a measure 

 help toward their support.
