The growers in most cases were very enthusiastic over this work, and we had some excellent demonstrations. Some of the very best were given in orchards where we had done the same work last year, and where it was an easy matter to point out the beneficial results of proper spraying and pruning. We have a number of fine demonstrations to go back to next year to show the results of the work we have just done. As a result of this work a great many spray machines have been bought, and there is more pruning and spraying in progress now than I have ever seen before. [Illustration: INTERIOR OF EXHIBIT CAR OF THE “PEACH SPECIAL” A baggage car containing exhibits to show the diseases and insect pests that menace the peach industry, and the methods of destroying them. See page 13.] The following account[2] of a dairy train in Illinois is supplied by the College of Agriculture of the University of Illinois: The first dairy train which we assisted in operating was on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad from Danville, Illinois, to Cypress. The equipment consisted of an engine, three ordinary coaches used for lecture work, an automobile box car with side and end doors, and a flat car. We had four cows in the automobile car and led them direct from this car onto the flat car for demonstration purposes. We had a railing built around the flat car and also a removable platform between the two cars. We also had a milking machine installed in this box car which could be observed in operation by opening its side doors. This was all the exhibit material we had, as our stops in the towns lasted only from one to two hours. We had a special train crew and a definite train schedule to follow. As soon as we would reach a town we would fill up the three lecture coaches, and three speakers would start at once to give short talks. After talking for about fifteen minutes, the speakers would trade cars. In this way each audience heard at least three speakers, and at the conclusion of these lectures the audience was conducted to the rear car where a cow demonstration was given. At the conclusion of the cow demonstration the milking machine demonstration was given in the automobile car. I might say that the dairy train was highly successful. This was due, I think, largely to its being well advertised previous to its operation. Later, another dairy train was operated in a similar manner except that four lecture coaches were used instead of three. On account of the warm weather, it was found advisable to give a large number of the lectures out-of-doors. The coaches were used only during rainy weather or in towns where, because of congested passenger and freight traffic, they were not given a good location. In some places our audiences were so large that we could not accommodate them in four coaches. In that case all the lecture work was given from the flat car on the rear end of the train.
