Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Prairie Farmer´s Directory of Stephenson County, Illinois The realization that in order to secure the best results in the business of farming it is necessary to apply modern methods of farm practice in order to secure the results which present day conditions demand has been rapidly growing in Stephenson county. Farm lands selling at the price which they are today and combined with the fact that there is little or no virgin farm land left in this country to be tilled, makes it essential that larger and better crops be produced on the present farms if adequate returns on the investment are to be made. Contrary to the opinion which has been expressed in some places an increase in the crops does not necessarily mean a reduction in the price of farm products, as the rapidly increasing population of this country will demand a great increase in the amount of food products produced in the years to come. In order to promote modern and scientific methods of agriculture, better and more profitable crops and improved soil conditions and a greater and better production of live stock, the Stephenson County Farm Improvement Association has been organized to carry on the work along the following lines: The constitution and by-laws adopted at the farmers meeting December 6, 1914, provide that there shall be a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer and three other directors in whose hands the management of the affairs of the Association shall be placed. The bylaws further provide that a delegate from each township shall be appointed the first year by the directors and after that this delegate shall be elected by the members of the association in each township. These delegates will be members of the advisory council which will confer with the board of directors from time to time regarding the management of the Association and they shall be privileged, to appoint committeemen in their various township to assist in carrying on the work of the Association. The principal object of the Association is to promote the various interests of the farmer in every way possible. The vital problems of increasing crop yields and repairing the fertility of worn out soils are of first importance to the farmer and those interested in -the prosperity of the county. These and many other important problems such as the proper distribution of farm products in an efficient manner; the purchasing of supplies for the farmer to the best advantage; the advancement of agricultural education in the schools of the country, will all come within the scope of this Association which offers an opportunity for the farmers of the county to work together for their own interests as nothing else can. One of the chief objects for which the Association has been organized is to secure a County Agricultural Advisor for Stephenson county. Over 1, 200 counties in the United States now employ county agents, and the most progressive counties in Illinois which have prosperous farm improvement associations are employing such men to assist them in carrying on the work. The duties of a county agent are numerous. It is his business to consult with the farmers of the county concerning matters of soil fertility, crop improvement, seed and soil testing, and to aid the farmers in every way possible to solve these problems. Such a man would act as purchasing agent for the Association, keeping posted as to where the best supplies of seeds, fertilizers and other necessary supplies could be obtained at the best prices. A competent county agent would also assist the farmers to keep in touch with markets for their products, improve methods of distribution and aid them in many ways to develop better methods of doing business.
