Brains and Education in Agriculture.

Brains and Education in Agriculture.
The following from the Massachusetts
Ploughman contains an important truth
which needs to be reiterated that the
popular estimate of agriculture be re-
vised and elevated:
1.-THE great future which is before the
agriculture of this country is hardly yet
realized by our young men. When It be-
comes more generally recognized that q
talented man with taste for the calling
had Just as good chance to distinguish
himself as he has anywhere else, then
thousands Of our bright young men will
not hesitate to train themselves for the
occupation. The talented young men OF
to-day, who are far-seeing enough to OBJ.
serve the chances before them will be at
the top Of the ladder in due time. The
foremost agriculturists of the future will
be trained business and scientific men;
IN fact, they are already SO to a limited
extent. The young man OF brains who
has also love for farming, need not be
afraid of wasting himself by choosing
agriculture as an occupation. Let him
study and learn, and reward is sure.

A Brief Visit to the Arkansas Valley
Experiment Station.

One afternoon recently Senator Swinl
and the ENTERPRISE spent an interest
ing hour with F. A. Huntley, Supt. oi
the Experiment Station. The farm while
wearing the sombre hues of autumn had
an attractive appearance by reason Of
the cleanliness which everywhere pre-
vailed. and the abundant evidence Of a
fruitful summers work.
The work Of digging sugar bsets was
in progress. Six varieties were grown
on ono acre and the product will aggre-
gate thirty tons. Competent chemists
will analyze specimens Of the crop that
the relative sugar producing value of the
different varieties may be ascertained.
Query: When such an amount OF good
good stock feed can be produced from
one acre why does not every farmer grow
sugar beets?
A small crop Of hemp had recently
been harvested. It was very heavily
seeded and ought to be profitable crop
to raise as the seed is marketable as food
for tame birds. 1t is as easily raised as
corn. We shall inquire into the proba
bilities of steady demand Tor the seed,
that our own farmers may be advised as
to the Inducements for growing hemp.
Tne experimental tomato plat con-
tanning 10 varieties, although nipped by
the frost, showed that the yield had been
very large.
An inspection of the potato crop was,
however, the chief object Of our visit.
The various varieties had been dug and
were covered with earth and straw. The
ground on which they were grown had
been carefully measured and the tubers
accurately weighed. Hence the follow
ing figures can be relied on as correct
The Blue Victor turned off at the rate Of
$50 bushels and 8 pounds per acre. The
Peoples potato produced 231 bushels and
5 pounds per acre. The Late Ohio's
crop was 100 bushels and pounds per
acre. The average yield Of four early
varieties was 200 bushels and 8 pounds
per acre. All OF the varieties were of ex-
cellent size, of healthy growth and su-
perior specimens Of the Irish potato.
Three different tests Of soil prepara-
tion we're made, as follows:
/. Test on rich garden soil not fertil-
lied this year. but fertiized in previous
2. Test on adjacent plot, fertilized by
burning strawy manure over the ground
at rate Of wagon box load to square rod
of ground. Result 19,20O lbs per acre.
8. Test an adjacent plot, same quality
of strawy manure rotted by irrigation and
plowed under. Result 2O,80O lbs per
acre.
Mammoth Pearl variety for seed on
above about 400 lbs per acre.
A portion of the crop was grown on
alfalfa sod and the value Of such soil fully
proven. The yield was large and the
tubers superior. The experience OF
tho Greeley country is verified in the
Arkansas valley, and the fact clearly
demonstrated that alfalfa sod is the very
best soil on which to grow potatoes sue.
cessfully.
The tests of the Experiment Station
supplementing the experience of mum.
ber OF our farmers, makes it clear that
our soil is as we'll adapted to the growth
of potatoes as any portion OF the state.
We may confidently predict that in a few
years the shipment of potatoes will be
one of the chief sources OF revenue for
our enterprising farmers.

astonishing, and much the same as in
mankind. Not only do they lose the in
born hereditary instinct for work, but
they will steal. The hierarchy instinct is
quickly lost also. They revolt against
their queen and commanders, and give
themselves over to idleness, brigandage
and pillage until they are cast out by
their fellows. Alcohol makes .veritable

The ENTERPRISE typewriter was in

go into details, as the subject is an un-
pleasant one, and We wish to dismiss it as
quickly as possible. But the machine
is now in good running order and it the
