Bio/Historical Note: The object of the Illustration Stations was to serve as a connecting link between the Experimental Farms and the farmer. In order to demonstrate the usefulness and the increased monetary return accruing from the adoption of those practices recommended by the investigational and research divisions of the Experimental Farms, stations were established in the throughtout Canada. Operations were conducted at143 stations. In establishing an Illustration Station, the method of procedure was to rent from a representative farmer a portion of his land on which, under the direction of the division in charge, he would grow the best varieties of crops and follow the best cultural practices as determined by the work of years on the Experimental Farms. These stations were visited regularly by a trained agriculturist who advised the farmer who operated the station, and gives assistance to other farmers of the district. These stations was visited frequently by the superintendent of the nearest Experimental Farm.
