Abstract: The farm practice training was conducted at Barangay Tres Cruses, Tanza, Cavite from July 1984 to December 1984 to develop skills and widen the experience of the Student Outreach Agent (SCA) in managing a demonstration project and to help his farmer cooperator increase his income through the use of modern farming techniques. It also trained the student in planning, organizing, monitoring and evaluating a demonstration project. The capital inputs used in purchasing materials were shouldered by the farmer cooperator. Separate areas for sweet potato and mongo were thoroughly prepared by plowing and harrowing twice alternate-ly followed by planting. The New Jersey Red Variety of Sweet potato and MG 50-10A (G) variety of mongo were used. Cuttings of sweet potato were planted 70 centimeters apart and 20 centimeters between hills in slanting position. Mongo seeds and fertilizer were broadcast uniformly at the same time. The result of the project showed that the 3,200 sweet potato cuttings planted in a 2,500 square meter (i ha.) land produced eight sacks (400 kgs.) of marketable tubers which were sold atP4.00 per kilogram. The two gantas of mongo seeds planted in another area of about 2,500 square meter (i ha.) land produced forty gantas of marketable seeds which were sold at P55.00 per ganta. A net income of P660.00 was obtained from sweet potato and a net income of P402.00 was obtained from mongo. These projects gave a total net income of P1 ,062.00.
