ard that where the great men are
born and reared is the best place to
live; that agriculture is the oldest
of the arts and the most recent of
the sciences" and that perfect agri-
culture is the true foundation of
trade and industry-the foundation
of the riches of States" let them
read and study and learn about ma
ture, and natures children, about
country life and country people, in
stead of cities and politics and liter
airy professions and a revolution will
have begun in rural life and agricul-
ture in the Old North State which
will accomplish wonders in one or at
most two generations.
A Summer School for Teachers
has just been organized and will be
conducted next June at the A. and
M. College in Raleigh for teaching
Agriculture and Nature Study to the
rural teachers of the State. The
methods to be employed will indicate
what is meant by agricultural in
%struction. These methods are Cd
By experiments. % By book study.
Let us look briefly at each.
I. Experiments.-Take for exam
pie the testing of seeds. A little
study under proper guidance will en-
able even an ordinary observer to dis
tinguish the seeds of weeds from
those of clover or other plants with
which they are often mixed. Then
the terminating power of seeds al
easily be tested by using an ordinary
plate and a little moist paper and
heat. In this way valuable tests can
easily and quickly and cheaply be ap-
piled before planting to all the seeds
used on the farm. Easy experiments
can similarly be made in regard to
plant diseases, insects, soils, plant
varieties, seed-selection, etc., etc.
How few farm boys know that cedar
balls contain apple rust bacterial
How few know anything of cross-fer-
tilization, of plant-breeding, of seed
selection, etc., etc.l Experiments
once begun will lead to other expert
ments, the mind will be interested,
stimulated. and put to work upon all
the problems of the farm; will love
to work out natures problems; prob
lens of soil, of plant, of animal, of
weather, of earth and sky and air;
will expand into a full realization of
the glory and grandeur of nature
and natures works.
2. Book-Study.-The experience
of the world is in books. No single
life can live by itself and learn by it
self the knowledge gained by millions
of other lives. So books tell us what
we could never learn alone. Some
things relating to agriculture must
be learned from books. 1t would take
too long and waste too much labor
and wealth to work out all agricul-
tural problems and truths, each man
for himself. But there is no need of

great writings of Herbert Spencer
It's charm is its ~clearness and sim
plicity. ees-
Take, for example, the Rotation
of Crops" The reasons given by
Prof. James are as follows:
1. Different plants take up differ
ent kinds of foods from the soil, pre-
cisely as different animals eat differ
ent foods. Tobacco requires potash.
the grain crops phosphates, etc. Ro-
tation allows the second crop to feed
well upon the food left by the first.
2. The %clovers and peas will get nj
trogen from the air by means of the
tubercles on their roots and thus en-
rich the soil. They should come into
every system of rotation.
3. The roots of plants vary IN
length: some long, some short. Thus
by rotation we may grow successive
crops to a great extent in two differ
ent soils; surface soil for one, and
subsoil for the other.
4. By rotating crops we change the
treatment of the soil and thus cult.
vate it more thoroughly in the long
run. In this way also we can better
kill off weeds which infest one par.
ticular crop.
5. In the same way we more easily
and efectually kill off and keep down
injurious insects.
6. Some crops mature in the sum.
mer, others late in the fall. Some
stay in the ground a short time, 9th.
ers longer. It helps to have a short
feeding crop follow a long feeding
crop, and vice versa.
Anybody of ordinary mind car
understand these reasons. He does
not need a vast knowledge of chem
istry, or botany, or zoology, or geol.
ogy. The whole science of agricul.
ture is made equally simple by Pro,
fessor James.
At the A. and M. College Summer
School next June, rural teachers
whether men or women, will have ar
opportunity to learn scientific agri
culture. They will go over the sub
ject in a good book; they will con.
duct experiments; they will make
their own apparatus out of tin cans
bottles, plates, etc.; will go back tc
their country school-houses, vii
teach their pupils precisely what
they have learned, and will thus be-
gin a great agricultural revolution
in North Carolina. The bright boys
and girls will thus be encouraged
to remain on the farm; will become
strong, healthy, and Independent
many of them even wealthy; vii
rear healthy children, and will re
main the indestructible foundation
of North Cardinals wealth, charac
ter, and manhood. They will love
the home, and teach their children tx
love it; and by strengthening ant
preserving the home, they vii
strengthen and preserve human civil

Winston Tells What 1t Is, and How
It Will Work a Revolution in North
Carolina.
Editor Of The Progressive Farmer:
1t is my belief that the time has
come when the principles of agricul-
ture can be p~roftably taught in our
rural schools; that the teachers, both
men and women, now employed in
our rural schools can be fitted for
this work; that our country boys and
girls will receive such instruction
eagerly, intelligently, and p%roftably;
and that the best interests of u
people, moral, intellectual, physical,
and material, will be wonderfully
promoted by the instructing even of
one generation of youth along these
practical lines.
For fully fifty years there has been
a constant migration to cities and
towns from our country districts.
In some respects good has been &C
complished by this migration. It
has drawn off the floating population,
much of which was idle and unintel-
ligent, from the country and given it
profitable and constant employment
in mills and factories. Much wealth
has been created thereby, and many
local markets made for farm pro-
ducts. But the stream of humanity,
constantly flowing from country to
city has taken with it not only the
idle and ignorant, not only those
needing to be guided and stimulated
and urged by managers and bosses,
but also the most talented, the most
energetic, and the most ambitious of
u rural youth. There has been a
steady decline of rural influence, ru-
raj power, and rural attractiveness,
until now very few of our prominent,
influential, and wealthy men live up
on and get their living from farms.
This is the evil that needs to be rem
edied, and the remedy lies in our sys-
tenn of education.
Thank Heaven the undesirable sur
plus of population is now pretty well
drained off from our rural districts,
at least in the Piedmont country, and
the field is open for an excellent ed
vocational work upon excellent edu-
cational material. The problem of
education, so far as material for
teaching goes, is really far less COM
plicated and difficult in the country
than in the manufacturing towns and
cities. Rural Science for Rural
Schools is the keynote to the prob
lem. Let the country boys and girls
be shown that there is a real science
underlying agriculture, a science
worthy of study by the greatest intel
lects and capable of comprehension
and application /. the average mind.
a science whose practical application
in farm life will certainly produce
health, strength, happiness, rever,
ence and true nobility of soul, as well
as wealth; let them get a peep into

Prosperous Season.

Shipments from the mines has closed
in all probability for the season, the
Weather being too desperately cold to
allow the ore to be unloaded at the
docks with dispatch. Besides the boats
have about all ceased their trips. The
Two Harbors port sent forward this
season $500. 900 tons of which the Chan
dler shipped $4,000, the Pioneer $4,000,
the Zenith 1877. 900, the Sibley 1900 and
the Savoy. 242,O tons. In addition tn"
Minnesota mine at Soudan shippe |
2S0, GOO tons making a grand total OF
Vermilion range shipments of 2,0S6000
tons. The Minnesota also has some
thing like $4,000 tons remaining in stock
The ore carried from Two Harbors
went forward in / Iii eargoes, the aver
age cargo being 1850 tons, an increase
in cargoes this year of 800 tons over last.
This is interesting considering that only
few years ago speculation as to the
time when 5,000-ton cargoes would be
the rule was generally INDUCED in.
More dock room is being built at Two
Harbors and the shipments next year
promise to eclipse this years by sew
eral thousand tons. Ely alone will, next
year, send forward half as much again
as this year, if the present increase is
kept up.

Fraud in It. & 5. Entries.

1t is said in Duluth that there will be
a general shaking up in land matters
in the not far distant future. The Her.
aid commented on the matter as fol-
lows:
The movement for the reform in the
abuses of the stone and timber law
which has been causing SO much Stir
and comment in the states of Oregon
Washington and California of late, has
been quietly going on in Duluth for the
past year. During that time the spe-
cial agents at the Duluth land office
have been accommodating evidence
against certain persons in and around
Duluth which will go far towards con-
victing them of perjury. One of the
agents made the statement today that
in the interest of the welfare of the
community it will probably be neces-
sary to make an example of some of
these people at the next sitting of the
grand jury although the plan of the
authorities has been to catch the lum-
Ter spectators who were behind these
tools, rather than the tools themselves.

Lands in this Vicinity.

Lumber company and others, for the
condemnation of certain lands in St

a petition for the appointment Of three
disinterested persons to ascertain anc
determine the amount to be paid by thu
company to each owner of the prop

Smallpox Run It's Course.

Only three cases of smallpox have
been reported in all st. Louis county in
a month and physicians claim conta-
gious diseases are on the decrease.
Lumber camps, which were infected,
it was thought, would spread disease
again this winter, as soon as they were
filled with woodsmen. These places
have been it's prolific breeding ground.
Owing to the absence of the disorder
doctors and the health department be-
lieve it has run it's course, and that the
few remaining cases are practically the
last. They think that it may attack
individuals during the winter but that
it has subsidized in the epidemic form.
Contagious disease has been in evil
dence in this section, and prevalent
through most of the United States for
six or seven years. This is generally
the time it takes the scourge to sub
side once it gets foothold.

Sunday Train.

Next Sunday morning at about 1915
the News Tribune Vermilion Special
will arrive in this city for the first
time. In compliance with the demands
from this range on the management of
the paper since the MeSaba Sunday
train was inaugurated, the special has
been assured and there is no doubt II
the minds of our people but what the
train will be a success.
The News Tribune management
shows enterprise and push in securing
this service, primarily to distribute
their excellent Sunday paper, and to
furnish accommodation for those who
wish to make the trip. The train
leaves again shortly after dinner and
arrives in Duluth before o'clock.
Next Sunday there will come on the
initial trip nearly 100 of Duluth's bust
ness men and it behooves our people tt
2 40 ro;r+ c''+ the various attraction:
of our beautiful city and Surroundings
and make the stay as pleasant as pos
sible. Mile Bunnell, manager of the
News Tribune will be in charge of the
party. Dinner will be served by Land
lord Bartlett at the Vail hotel.
The Sunday train will prove quite ar
Duluth and Ely. The travelling public
will appreciate the service. The man

Drills Working.

Not for many years has there been
as much exploratory work done on the
Vermilion range as the present sea-
son shows.
The Oliver Iron Mining company is
operating one drill in 1924, and an
other in 14-62-14. The Mahoning Ore
company has one drill in 81, and an
Other in 14-e3-11. Robert Whiteside has
a drill working in 15-63-11. The Sharon
Ore company, now merged with the
Union Steel. has three drills working
on the Vermilion in and 4-62-10. P. R.
Vail and Captain Sweeny have drill
in 24-63-12, and there are two others
working east of this city besides one on
re Serrer property adjoining the city
on the west Several other parties are
exploring in various ways on several
properties Section so, according to all
reports. will next be the scene@of mos:
active work.

Two Harbors, who died at Battle Creek
Mich, on Dec. g. were laid at rest in
the cemetery of his old home at Vic
tor, Ia, Friday at the side of his wife
who died eight years ago.
Deceased was a most popular man
among all who enjoyed the pleasure of
his acquaintance. He had resided in
Two Harbors since 1890 and during that
time he made friends with all whom he
came in contact. He was a member of
Gov. Van SAINTS staff, chairman of the
Lake county Republican Committee
and storekeeper for the Duluth & Iron
Range. On Sept. % he was taken ill
with gastritis and grew constantly
worse. About a month ago he was ta-

Looking at the case from a business
point of view. we cannot see where the
government is being defrauded by the
timber and stone act. The government
has the land the party who files there
on pays the government the stipulated
price $3.50 per acre and makes oath
that the land is more valuable for tim
Der and stone than for agricultural pur-
poses and witnesses sustain the con-
tention. The land is bought and paid
| for. for its timber or stone as the case
may be. What does the government
| expect? The timber is sold to some
| concern willing to buy and as the land
| is no earthly use for agricultural pur-
poses, it naturally goes with the TIM
Der. The poor man in order to pay SYST
per acre, borrows from some one
| enough to prove up on and in consid-
Grafton gives this someone the first
| chance to buy. This is not fraud. Ii
the land was being given away, as i'll
| the homestead law, it would be differ
evil of selling ones own property fol
| which he has bought and paid, we will
not be convinced that there is fraud
under the stone and timber act Might
| just as well stop people from lending
money to the persons desiring to buy
property. If the government does not
make money enough on the deal, why
raise the price, just as the merchant
| does for his prunes or eggs.

High Price on wolves.

At the last meeting of the county
commissioners, the bounty on wolves
was raised. This action on
the part of the county board
was brought about by a petition
from settlers Of the county claiming
that the beasts were increasing and
were becoming nuisance. The boun-
ty was raised to $25 for full grown fe-
male wolf killed during the first five
months Of the year. A male wolf
brings SIS. To secure the bounty, the
entire carcass must be taken to the
county auditor at Duluth.

the 25 cent hunters license now called
for and a fine of $25 is to be imposed
on any man carrying a gun, part of
which money is to go to the person
making the arrest.
The commission will recommend the
adoption of the Wisconsin system of
coupon licenses for deer hunting, in
which two coupons are attached to the
hunters license, and a coupon must be
attached to every deer shot and shipped
or it is liable to seizure and confisca-
ton by the state.
1t does not exactly seem like justice
to ask a man to pay 81 for carrying d
gun, still some means must be sought
by which the indiscriminate running al
