improvements in the public schools of
the State and in the methods of instruc-
ton have been gratifying, still, even at
the best they were not what should be ex.
| pected from progressive, up to date
country. The examination method pur.
sued during the past few years, would.
If continued, have done more to place the
educational interests of the State on a
proper footing than anything else. and it
is matter of regret if there has been
retrograde movement in this line by re.
ducing the qualifications, as it were, of
the teachers.
We admit our inability to discuss the
matter fully now, for the reason that we
have no copy of the new law, but we
base our opinions upon what the lead
ing educators of the State have said of
it's provisions. Under the old system
it was too evident that many of the
schools of the State were in charge of
totally incompetent persons-teachers
who should in many cases have been &C.
cupying positions in the primary classes
in their schools. OF course there could
be no development with these conditions
existing. To have good schools it is
necessary first of all to have competent
teachers, without these the money spent
by the State on the education of her peo-
pie, and the time given by the people is
as good as thrown away. Thus it is we
say that if the new law has lowered the
standard of the instructors q grievous
mistake has been made and much injury
done.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-07-03
HE SCHOOL STANDARD.

We have been unable to procure a
copy of the last act of the legislature
amending the school law, and, it is gen
orally understood, relaxing somewhat
the rigor to the examinations heretofore
necessary for the candidates for teach
ers of public schools. II is the general
opinion that these examinations had
been made easier, and that the standard
will necessarily be lowered. If such is
the case In our opinion very grave mis-
take has been made. A better system
of education is above all things needed
in this State, and this is impossible un-
less those who are in charge of the work
are fully qualified for it. 1t must be ad
mitted that during the past decade the

STICK TO FLORIDA.

The Titusville Advocate in review
of the situation as applied directly to
/ reward county, but which is applicable
in greater or less degree to all of the
counties in the orange region of Florida,
says:
1t is to be regretted that in some of
the counties in South Florida a few
people have decided that it is necessary
for them to seek livelihood else where,
some of them going to adjoining states.
So far very few have left Brevard
county, perhaps half dozen, and out
of this number two or three have been
glad to return, prepared, as they say,
Ito fight itout until better times return"
If there was even a chance for those
who are leaving Florida to better their
condition else where we might witness
their departure with some fortitude,
but with deep regret 1t is exceedingly
doubtful, however, if one out of dozen
will better their condition unless they
have prospects of securing some posi-
ton through the recon mendation of
friends Of ability and influence. To
just step out, with no marked out
course ahead, trusting to luck to find
better place than their present home
will end in disappointment and regret
of hasty action in most cases. The
situation all over the country is not
flatterlng and especially is it not in the
adjoining state of the cotton belt where
planters have made no money, while
in the sugar and rice belts they have
Jared little better.
Stick to Florida and the grove, even
if the latter is in bad shape. With
attention it Will be restored the earlier to
it's former state, and where else in this
country can people live easier and
cheaper than here in Florida? The
wiser plan would be to remain, raise
enough corn, potatoes, vegetables, ETC.,
to be selfsustaining; to support the
family, and work to restore the grove
to bearing condition. To leave your
property and the certainty of making a
living for an uncertainty is surely a
bad policy.
IT'S sheer nonsense tC say that farm

have been so busy cultivatlug orange
trees that they have not had time to
learn how to grow other things in Flor
ida soil. In turn you will be benefited
by reading the writings of others. Let
everyone help and our "weedy row" will
seem much shorter.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-07-03
STACKING FODDER.

Bear in mind that corn fodder makes
excellent forage; it is relished by stock
of all kinds, and it Can be saved at a
minimum expense. Of course the fod-
der is made when the corn is. We do
not refer now to the method of cutting
stalks for fodder, but pulling the blades
from the stalk and curing them. Scien-
tific experiments have demonstrated that
| the weight of the corn is only very
| slightly reduced by tripping the leaves
or blades from the stalks, and some sea-
sons the loss is not noticeable at ALL
We take it for granted that the man
who has an orange grove and one or more
horses will not purchase a any rate dur
ing the next year. He will have an ex-
cellent opportunity of saving hay, and
if he has planted corn crop, which we
trust is the case, he should not fail to
pull the fodder. In former issue we
gave the most approved southern plan
of pulling and curing the blades. But
the question of storage will arise. Corn
fodder is very bulky and does not pack
down into small space like hay. The
farmers loft or barn may be filed with
crab grass and pea vine hay and the corn
fodder be crowded out. If this is the
case there is no reason that the fodder
should be lost, as the primitive, but eff
fective, stacking plan can be adopted.
Everyone who has travelled through
the south has seen the picturesque fod-
der stack at the rear of the stall BILE or in
the fields. The stacking process is SIM
pie, but the amatuer often makes fail
ure, and has his stack bullying or falling
down long before the time, from the
want of care or sufficient tramping.
After the fodder is we'll cured the first
requisite of the stock is the poles. A
pole measuring four inches at the butt
and tapering nicely will answer. This
is planted firmly in the ground, and a
space eight or ten feet in diameter is
cleared around the pole. Large poles
are then laid on the ground, about six
teen inches apart. Smaller ones are
laid across the first ones which keeps
the fodder off the ground. The first
layer of fodder then placed butt ends
towards the center. This plan is kept
up, layer on layer, and gradually re-
ducing the diameter of the stack to a
peak at the top of the pole. Each bun
die as 1t is laid down is firmly trampled,
the stacker holding to the pole. When
the stack is completed. thatch is m AIDE
of one or two bundles and bound firmly
to the pole. This stack will keep the
fodder in good condition for an indefi-
mite period.

OUR MISSION.

that its mission is a more important one
than ever, or rather the Importance OF
it's mission has been greatly magnified
by the unusual and extraordinary condi-
tions now existing. Nearly quarter OF
a century ago when the paper was first
esta blished what is known as the orange
fever or "craze" was not known-it made
itself felt several years 'ater. At that
time South Florida, below Palatka was
prac tically wilderness The efforts of
the journal at that time were largely Civ
en- to the improvement of agricultural
methods, the diversifcation of crops and
the introduction of economic plants,
seeds, ETC., from the West Indies and
other sections. At the same time it rec
ognized the Importance of the then
budding orange industry, which was
destined in few years to assume mag.
nifcent proportions and sweep every
thing before it. Where orange trees could
be 2 anted without danger of freezing
every year, they were planted and Guilt
were overlooked, neglected or forgot
ten.
At that time the AGRICULTURIsT, in
com mon with everybody and every thing
else believed that the orange industry
would be the means of making Florida
the wealthiest and most prosperous state
in the union, but it relaxed it's efforts tC
induce the people to give their attention
to other things than the orange, only {
small degree.
The plan of dive rsification we now
recommend and urge is not new one
with the AGRICULTURIsT, it is perhap '
intensified somewhat, that is all.
We think that our efforts at this time
to induce our people to diversity theil
products will be more fruitful of results
than in past years. 1t has reached thu
sity. Even those who have heretofor
scorned the humble potato, cane, rice
corn, peanut, vegetable, cassava, PEI
patches, etc., will have to seek their aid
