BuEEAu OF Agkictjlttjrb. 419 



From the State Board of Agriculture I secured two 

 sets of silo forms for tlie farmers, free of charge. From 

 the Experiment Station I secured one set of forms for 

 $10 rent. My personal attention was given to the con- 

 struction of the silos ; this saved the farmers the expense 

 of hiring an expert, and also saved them money by the 

 proper proportioning of materials. 



Before the demonstration work began there were 

 only 5 silos in the county ; last year I helped build three, 

 and this. year I helped build six. Next year we will build 

 twenty-five concrete silos. 



In connection with the boys' and girls' club work 

 we have organized three com and poultry shows. In- 

 stead of soliciting prizes from town people, as Ave did 

 last year, this year we are working up prizes in the com- 

 munity where the club is. The farmers' clubs in some 

 instances have taken this matter of prizes in charge, and 

 gotten good results.

TEIGG COUNTY. 



In response to your request for a brief statement 

 of my work since I have been County Agent here, I'take 

 pleasure in presenting you with the same. However, 

 it is a big subject and I can only outline it in so few 

 words. 



Corn. 



We have over 400 acres of demonstrations in com 

 growing, besides an unlimited number of co-operators. 

 The fact is, so far as I could find out, nearly every field 

 in the county reflected to some extent the result of our 

 work along this line. We fought turning plow cultiva- 

 tion with all our might and with splendid results. The 

 yield at this time looks very promising. 



Crimson Clover. 



Eealizing that the one supreme need of Trigg county 

 soils is humus and that of a nitrogenous nature, at the 

 close of the cultivation of the com crop, I started on a 

 campaign to get as many acres of crimson clover seeded
