Among the roads which have or will run 

 these trains are the Chicago, Burlington 

 & Quincy, lUihois Central, Chicago, Mil- 

 waukee & St. Paul, Kansas (llity South- 

 em, Union Pacific, Great Northern, 

 Northern Pacific and Canadian Pacific. 

 While the subject matter, of the lectures 

 varies on the different lines, there is a 

 common endeavor to increase the farm- 

 er's productivity. How and when to 

 select the most productive seed, rotation 

 of crops and care of the soil, are the 

 most important topics. In so;ue cases 

 where a wide region is giveu to one 

 product an effort is made to interest the 

 farmers in other plants in order to pre- 

 vent exhaustion of the soil and c-umplete 

 failure of the territory when climatic 

 conditions prove unfavorable to the one 

 crop. A rostrum and stereopticou sheet 

 or blackboard at one end transform a 

 coach into a lecture hall, and the lec- 

 turers are the instructors from the agri- 

 cultural college of the state. The ar- 

 rival of the train is advertised well in 

 advance so that the stop need be only 

 as long as the lecture requires. The 

 train is side-tracked wherever a --ufficient 

 audience may be expected and at inter- 

 mediate points some roads j»i<*k up the 

 farmers, carry them to the lecture and 

 then give them free transportation to 

 return home, a feature which .adiis great- 

 ly to the popularity of the umiertaking. 

 This good-will on the part of the Mxm- 

 ers is one of the ends sought. At first 

 they did not take kindly to the idea of 

 being taught how to farm and much lec- 

 turing was being done to empty seats, 

 but the idea has become imraenMely popu- 

 lar and frequently lectures b;ive to be 

 repeated several times at a stop to ac- 

 commodate all comers.
