"PrOcraSt inatiOn is the

The new tariff has advanced the

from the advance. If you buy now,
you will be wise. We bought our
instruments IN large quantities some

SECRETARY WILSON REPORTS.
He Presents Some Ideas That Are OF Gen.

He Presents Some Ideas That Are OF Gen.
erai Interest.
Hon. James Wilson, secretary of
agriculture, gives his ideas as to the
kind Of education which should be
given the youth who is seeking infor-
nation that will be OF practical value
TO him in the pursuit Of agriculture.
In his annual report showing the work
done in the different branches Of the
department over which he presides
the secretary refers 10 the agricultural
colleges and experiment stations.
The following summary Of his views
upon the important matter Of educa.
ton will be Of particular interest to
the people OF Georgia just now, when
the question of the proper methods of
educating boys to be farmers has been
brought so prominently to this notice
through the reports OF legislative com.
mittees:
"In agriculture il is becoming TO be
clearly seen that teaching the boy how
to pillow or TO perform any other farm
operation is not the most important
service which the school can render
There must be added to this definite
and careful instruction in the princi-
Piles on which agricultural practices is
based.
"The farmer must be taught TO
think in the lines where science has
shed light upon his art il his practice
is to be most thoroughly successful.
Fortunately, science has already much
to tell the farmer which is most useful
to him and every year sees an increase
in the great store from which the ag-
ricultural student can safely draw"
On another phase of this particular
controversy Secretary Wilson expresses
himself at length. The secretary deems
il important that the land grant col
leges and the experiment stations
should be kept wide apart in their
Management.
The secretary's report contains much
that is Of interest not only to farmers
but also to others who care to keep
posted on the progress OF the country.
Being the first report Of the present
secretary, this one goes into the OBJ.
iects and purposes of the department,
and tells Of the scope Of the work
assigned to it, going into this more
fully than will the later reports of the
same official.

very doubtful whether the advocates OF the
