In an article written by W. D. At
water, Phi. D., Wesleyan University,
entitled agricultural Renaissance"
speaks of the wide diffusing of science
throughout all the agricultural popu-
lation, he says, chat today there are
flfty-fve stations in the United States
established by the department of agf
riculture to distribute the results of
their inquiries, these employ over 600
persons in the work for the admins
tration and inquiry, these include d.
rectors, chemists, botsnists, biologists,
horticulturists, sgriculturists, veterl-
narians, dairymen, foremen, clerks,
and others, the Dumber Ct copies of
each bulletin varied from few hun
dred to 10000 and more. One of these
stations that at Cornell university,
Ithaca, N. Y. estimated that each one
of it's publications directly or indirect
ly reached more than half million
readers, besides a large correspond
ence carried on with farmers, and
many public addressers, and the re-
suit of their work is taught to thous-
ands of students in colleges and
schools and finally, the press, includ-
ing the Metropolitan and the country
newspapers and magazines, are con-
stantly discussing the fruits of exper-
iment work spreading them abroad
among the people. The secretary of
agriculture said a few days ago:
In the history of no nation before
has there been such a thirst for
knowledge on the part of the great
masses of the people, such high and
just appreciation Of its value, and
such widereaching, successful, and
popular schemes for self-education;
no other nation has so large body Of
high intelligence, never b fore has
the great agricultural public been so
willing and indeed SO anxious to re-
ceive with respect and use with intel
lIgence the information which science
offers; never before has science had
so much to give"
