Here his work, too, is of an educational character and he isorganizing the forces of the farmers for a continued and progressivedevelopment of the district along agricultural lines, endeavoring to meetevery requirement of the farmer, who must needs have a scientificknowledge of the condition of the soil and the quality of his land if hewould make his farm of the greatest productiveness.
