In tubers and root crops will be dis
plays Of beets, turnips, carrots, pea
nuts, potatoes, sugar beets. parsnips,
onions, etc. In October a special pota-
10 display will be made showing the
products OF many states in comparison
with one another. Farmers who are
interested in the production of sugar
beets will have an invaluable opportu-
nifty to learn about the wonderful de-
velopment of this particular yegeta-
BILE. A special display will be made of
sugar beets, showing ali varieties and
making clear TO every one the condi-
tons under which they thrive best, in
Guiding both soil and atmosphere. The
necessity of abundant sunshine in the
maturing of sugar beets and the alb
senee of 1t at the proper season have
been the causes of serious loss and dis
couragement TO growers.
The value of various byproducts for
food for live stock will be shown in ex-
hibits of gluten meal, linseed meal, cot
tonseed meal hominy meal and other
prepared foods.
The display Of grasses and forage
will include all varieties, the purpose
being to show the ones best adapted
for farm uses with reference to partic-
ular soils and conditions. The proper
mixture of seed for permanent pas
lures, meadows, lawns, etc, will be ex-
planned.
The display of vegetable fibers will |
include fax, jute, hemp, cotton and |
their different products. The fibers of |
animal origin will include hides, hair,
WOOL silk and the processes of prepar-
ing them for market.
Among the nonedible products of ami
NAL origin TO be exhibited are glue, gel
attn, stearin. wax, candles, bone and
horn products, fertilizers, etc.
The question Of fertilizers is always
IN important one to those who seek to
obtain the best results from the soil. In
he treatment of this subject the Divi-
zion of Agriculture will endeavor TO
ihow the relative value of the natural
ertilzers, both crude and compounded.
[ will bring TO the information of all
he sources and value of nitrogen com
pounds, guano, offal, phosphate rocks,

The Basis of Poser.

The question of physical culture in Japan
which has been receiving some attention
lately is, of course, one of the most important
that can engage the attention Of the "teachers
and prophets" OF this country. There can be
no doubt or discussion as to tbs facts; Japan
is weak and badly developed physically. The
country ought to be under no delusion that it
is matter which can be neglected or post
poned so long as other claims-the claims of
culture and intellect for instance-are fully
met and supplemented. However unfortunate
thing it may be for :" the higher man." it is
clear that the world has still considerable
way to 90 before it will accept intellectual or
moral standards as the essential measure of
individual or national worth. Nothing is
palmer at the present moment than that the
real key to predominance among nationalities
is force-physical force-crystallized and or.
ganized in armies and battleships, the unit
in the composition Of which is the individual
man, his temperament and nerves, his height,
the measure of his muscle, and the staying
POWER of his lungs The Japanese ought to
know, if they do not that in these matters
they are in the gross, outclassed and over.
matched by all contemporary people in the
ring of civilization. So much is this so in.
deed, that it is not an uncommon thing for
strangers coming among this people to take
the impression that the Japanese in reality
are a wornout race, race which has long
since seen its best days and is now we'll on
the road towards that stage of degeneration
when it must inevitably become the prey of
stronger and more lusty competitor. The
primal element in national greatness is the
unt-and the primal element in the units
greatness is his health and vigor. The guns
may be the finest the hand of man can fash.
ion but it is, after all, the man behind the
gun that defeats the .ehemy. Japan, indeed,
has many grave problems confronting her in
the near future, and not the least of them is
the maintenance of her position against con.
temporary peoples whose units are on the
average worth two or three of her own from
a physical point Of view.-Kobs Herald.
