spoke at some length and very interesting
ly. He said he was sent by the president
of the United States to investigate agri-
cultural matters in Alabama with Il view
to making his department of actual service

his speech to emphasizing that a farmer
above all persons needs education. he de-
piored the fact that all of the states have
been slow to realize this and complimented
Alabama in having established an agricult-
ural school in each of the nine congress
ts.onal districts. He deptr-d the fact
that parents in all of The states were too
much inclined to have their boys invcst-
gate The roots of words rather than the
roots of plants, and that too many schools
taught oritory rather than the science OF
growing things
He begged the people of Alabama to di-
versify their crops and help their lands
along. He implored the negroes to cruelty
their affections for dogs and raise sheep
instead. He spoke of the many crops that
Alabama could grow and stated that next
year he proposed TO thoroughly test the
culture OF sugar bcStS in this state.

farmers TO adopt business methods. to
certain what their several crops cost them
and what they realized Tor each. He said
this was the most effective way to stop
the over-production of cotton.
