AGRICULTURAL EDIToR:-I wrote to
you lately in reference to a certain will
low tree. To-day l had an interview
with man who knew its age and early
history, which may be of some interest.
He lived there with his fathers family
in 1910, and in that year saw the
sprouts all cut from the tree clear into
the ground, in hopes to kill it, as it was
considered nuisance. 1t was then
about six inches in diameter, and was
started in that place by some children
driving a walking stick into the ground
a few years previous.

A War Atlas.

As vast and important as is the War
Record series, now publishing by the
government, there is to follow a war
atlas that will transcend anything of
the kind ever undertaken by the gov
eminent. There is just completed the
plate for the first battle of Bull Run,
one of the most perfect in detail ever
made. In fact it is all but a photo
graph of the field. 1t is prepared
from carefully finished map by GEN
eral Beauregard, and one by General
Mcdowell. The big atlas will contain
about 100 maps. The War Record is
published at a phenomenal rate. A
1000 page volume appears every three
weeks. Sixty-fve volumes are now
out, all relating to battles and CAM
paigns. A second series will follow,
containing all correspondence between
the states and the federal government;
third will treat of prisoners of war.

nous growth-the largest / ever
knew-which stands in full view of our
residence and about one mile distant
from it. This tree branches about six
feet from the ground and soon has five
branches. lis circumference in small
est girth of trunk is ten feet one inch.
Its radius from center of trunk to out
ermost twig, as now in leaf, on the
southeast side is forty five feet nine
inches, and on the opposite side thirty
five feet six inches, southwesterly it is
thirty-eight feet and northeasterly
thirty-four feet ten inches; giving an
average diameter of top of seventy-fve
and one half feet, which covers about
seventeen square rods of land. Its ex-
act age do not know, but l remem-
Der il for fifty years past, when it was
very small tree.
One point more, relating to the
growth and age of trees, and l will
close. There is in our yard Balm-of-
Gilead tree which was set thirty-fve
years ago-being then five years old,
and about the size of fishing-rod. 1t
now grths six feet and five inches and
the top has diameter of about fifty
four feet. The whole would make
about eleven and one-half cords of

A CORRESPONDENT of the Sprinfield
Repulican, writing from Hampton, Va,
says: at was my good fortune to visit
this greatest of industrial schools few
days after commencement and see the
ordinary routine. While it is the
proper thing to summon the trustees
and graduates, give diplomas and have
a general exhibition, the daily proceed
ings when not on special show enable
one to make the best estimate of Cen
eral Armstrong; wonderful work.
Whether he shall regain his wonted
physical strength or not, Hampton is
an accomplished fact. Its foundations
are so broad and deep, its equipment
so powerful, its system so we'll ordered
in detail, its subordinates so well
trained, its place in the intelligent and
hearty regard of large public so well
secured, that it has now only to move
on in the well defined lines of its
president founder toward its greatest
need-a permanent endowment--and
enlarged success. When one thinks
that Hampton, with its noble work al
ready done and the vaster work it
prophesies, is the growth of but twenty
four years, there are few successes
known to the world so rewarding and
so inspiring"

The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-07-13

Is it disgraceful for poor young
white man to earn and get thorough
and practical education in this way?
That it is entirely possible is proved at
Hampton-unless we are ready to ad-
init that American negro boys and girls
have more natural capacity, or more
earnest purposes, than the sons and
daughters of American white men.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-07-13

Now, Hampton is, for the colored
youth of the South, what it was hoped
the agricultural and mechanical schools
established by congress, under the
name of state colleges, were to be for
the working young men of the whole
country. Why, then, has the first
been a glorious success, while the sec
ond, with few exceptions, are shameful
failures? -
No man can read the history of the
Hampton School without seeing with
perfect clearness that the chief reason
for its success lies in the fact that it
furnishes its students with the oppor-
tunities to work their own way through
the classes-that it is in fact, as well as
name, an industrial school,"
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-07-13

SOME time since, we made the sug-
gestion, in these columns, that the
growing, if not the distribution, of novel
varieties of plants, trees and seeds
should be allotted to the agricultural
colleges of the respective states. On
the college farms, under the supervi-
sion of the instructors in agriculture
and horticulture, this work would be
intelligently performed, and the value
of each novelty for that section of the
country approximately tested. This
would save immense waste, by confn-
ing the distribution in each state to
such novelties as have some probability
of usefulness there.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-07-13

But it is never too late to mend.
Even yet it is possible for the national
government to put all these useless
schools under strict supervision; to
amend the legislation establishing
them and to make them of vast use
and importance in the national life. Be-
cause their funds have been wasted or
misapplied in the past, is but one rea-
son the more why strict system of SUI
pervision and definite system of man
agement should be established and put
in force. Nothing better than what
we see was to be expected, so long as
there was no accountability, no central
control, no efficient inspection and no
defined and positive purpose made
manifest.
In this connection it is we'll to refer
again to the idea of making the agri-
cultural colleges effective as means
not only of practical and scientific in
struction to the young men and
women of our farms, but also through
them to contribute to the progress
of our agriculture by Transforming
the present absurd, wasteful and
utterly unintelligent seed and plant
distributions of the Department OF
Agriculture. AS now conducted, i,
seems only as ready way for our con
gressmen TO keep themselves before
their farmer constituency, as being in
terested in their welfare. Wisely con
trolled, and intelligently carried out
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-07-13

RECENTLY, there has been an effort
on the part of the department, under
Secretary Rusk, to do better, but as
long as this seed and plant distribution
is made use of mainly as means of
cheap electioneering, it will always be
nuisance and fraud. Nine-tenths
of the money is wasted, so far as con-
tributing to the progress of agriculture,
horticulture or orcharding goes. One
quarter of the money, rightly spent,
would do thousand times more good
to the people.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-07-13

the original idea was not bad one.
But in actual practice it has sent orange
and Japanese persimmon plants to
northern Maine and Vermont, Russian
fruit trees to Texas and California, and
made its chief distributions to consist
not of promising novelties, but of beans,
peas, corn, turnip, beet, carrot, and
other seeds known fifty years ago, and
long superseded with the experienced
gardener by better forms.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-07-13

NOT because the thing itself is not
feasible, or eminently practicable.
Hampton has triumphantly demon
strated the contrary. But the ma
tional government, in making these Law
ish appropriations and leaving them to
the mercy of circumstance, without
rule or guidance, was and has continued
to be shamefully derelict. 1t should
have done much more than appropri-
ate funds and fling them out to be
scrambled for, and handled without re-
sponsibility or oversight. Under no
other government than ours would such
a thing be possible.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-07-13

In our judgment, there never was a
more perfect example and specimen of
the way chow not to do it" than is
given in the alleged agricultural COL
leges of America. Practically, they are
turning out no skilled farmers, or doing
anything of marked Importance for
agriculture. Compared with the vast
expenditure of the peoples money for
buildings, equipments, salaries and en-
dowment, the outcome after quarter
of century is thorough nullity.
Everybody who knows anything about
the matter knows that this is no exag-
gerated statement. In truth, exagger-
alton is impossible in stating the fulfil
ity of this costly and wasteful scheme.
