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.
