Tho Billboard Naisance.

The Springfield (Ohio) Republic takes
a sensible view Of the sign-board ad-
vertising nuisance, which 1t comments
upon as follows:
In Columbus there Is q discussion on
at present about street signs. The
Capital Is much in need Of labels for
the corners "a subject which Spring.
field ought to be investigating. by the
way). but 1t is the display Of popular
sentiment In another direction that
has been most interesting.
Owing to the expense Of manufac-
turing and placing suitable signs. the
feasibility Of granting the contract to
some advertising company who would
pay for the privilege Of putting up sign
posts with eulogies Of its various wares
displayed on them, was talked over.
Instantly the people were up In arms,
They declared that such procedure
would deface the streets and make
Columbus a laughing stock. Street
signs. they said. were already too nu.
merous. and they would rather foot
the bill for any proper signs Council
might see fit TO buy. than have money
put into the city treasury by an adver.
tising scheme.
All this goes to show which way the
wind Is blowing. 1t may be years. but
some day fence signs and bill boards
and barn placards will go. The people
are getting tired Of them.
We are glad to note the fact that
newspapers in all sections Of the cOun.
try are beginning to take up this fight.
Tie ranks are growing day by day.
and. as the Republic truly says. 1.-The

TEACHING TO TILL.
Money Spent by the English Govern
ment I'm Aiding Education in
Agriculture.

The decline of British agriculture"
is mournful phrase so constantly be-
fore US that the publication of the
annual report on the distribution of
grants for agricultural education and
research excites pleasurable anticipa-
tons.
The pleasurable anticipations are,
however, not altogether fulfilled I'M
less the contemplation of the ex-
penditure of the munificent total of
GS,050 in 1900, an excess of 6 300 over
the previous years total, can be said
to fulfill them. It does not look, on
the face of it, like a heroic attempt
to lift British agriculture out of the
mire, says the London Express.
But there is the satisfaction afford
ed by bulky report which nicely
spreads that es,O50 over 30 pages of
official verbosity.
The larger sums are, it appears,
awarded in the form of subventions
to the collegiate centers of agricul-
tural education, and among the spe-
cial features may be noted the pay
ment of 600 each to the joint coun-
Gil of the East and West Rulings and
to the University of Cambridge. This
was in recognition of the acquisition
of farms by these centers.
1t must be conceded that there are
far more facilities for instruction
available to agriculturists than for
merly. Perhaps the supply is equal
to the demand.
las yet neither the western, west
midland, nor northwestern groups of
counties have seen their way to form
regular Combinations for consolidate
ing the several schemes of agricul-
tural instruction which they have or
gained for themselves
In the report there is reference to
the complete and classified if some
what costly arrangements of the
French government for it's active agri-
cultural population of nearly 1000, 600
persons, of whom by far the largest
section were farming on their own
| account on cultivated area so great
ly wider than our own.
The forms of instruction applica-
BILE to a country such as England,
where the mean level of production is
already well ahead of other states,
will necessarily differ from any of
these types.
with us the highest form of science
has to be appealed to; to teach how,
without undue cost, theory may be
safely applied to practice, so that each
bushel of grain or each ton of meat
raised from British acres may be still
further improved in order to meet
the strain of competition from lands
of low acreage production on widen
ing and extensive areas"
This reference to widening and
extensive areas" does remind one OF
certain extensive areas of untitled
land in Great Britain.
