FARMING MATTERS.
How to RsIse Farmers.

In a recent address on The Agricu.-
tural College and the Farmers Boy
delivered before the students OF the
New Mexico Agricultural College. Mr.
c. d. Case said.
These agricultural colleges are the
means by which the country Will re
ceive the greatest amount OF benefit In
future years. for 1t is here that the
farmers boys of to-day will learn how
10 successfully operate the farm. and
these same boys will be the farmers oil
ten and twenty years hence. whose
broad ideas. liberal and progressive
views, gained during their college lile.
will be the means OF placing the sci
ence OF agriculture upon the plane
where It rightfnlly belongs. And this
brings me to discussion of the farm
er's boy of to-day and his handling.
Every farmers hoy is not cut out Tor
a farmer. The main question with the
writer's on the subject seems TO De.
How shall we keep the boy on the
farmg To my mind this question ought
to give way to the question; How shall
we put the boy where he ought to be
and keep him there?'
Some writer's go into panic over
what they term an exodus from the
farm to the city. and we are led TO
believe that there is veritable Cox
ey's Army of farm boys marching on
the cities and are made to quake with
fear over the imminent danger that the
farms may become bowling wilderness
esses. So far as can learn there was
never n time when the farm boy was
so well satisfied with the farm and
farming as an occupation, or. rather.
a profession. was more highly regarded
and, when intelligently followed. was
more profitable Farming. indeed. has
become an art. requiring study and
skill of high order and giving en-
ployment to the highest type of intel
lett. There is. to my mind. evidence
Of a reflex movement from city to the
country, brought about by the ever-in-
creaslng strain of the city life. the i'm
provement of farm conditions and the
growing tendency to view successfully
farming as an occupation promising
to the up-to-date. Intelligent tiller of
the soil ample returns for his invest
ment of time and money. The ad-
vantages of town and city life are
rapidly extending themselves into the
country. and the trolley. telephone, ru-
raj mail delivery. etc. are bringing
them close together.
Then comes the question OF how to
keep on the farm the boys who have
the farm instinct. The answers are
all reduced to the simple one. namely:
Cultivate that natural instinct. AS Mr..
Sprague says. Make out Of the boy.
while he is yet boy n real farmer.
Educate him along farm lines. Buy him
books and papers presenting this kind
of work and of the best sort, Talk with
him about the farm. Lift him above
the level of farm hand. Give him an
Independent position on the farm early
in life.

WASHINGTON ON
NEGRO PROBLEM

Newe York. Feb. Washington's
birthday was observed here by special
services of patriotic societies and many
clorgymen made tho anniversary tho
subject of their sermons.
Booker T. Washington was tho ora
tor at n memorial meeting held In tho
Academy OF Arts and Sciences. Tho
speaker devoted his address TO the con-.
sideration OF the race problem. and
said. In part:
Unlike the Indian. the original Mex
lean or the Hawaiian. the Negro. so
far from dying out when In contact
with a stronger and different race. has
continued to increase III numbers to
such an extent that. whereas the race
entered bondage few in number. there
are now more than 100000. So want
to emphasize the truth that whether
we are of Northern or Southern birth.
whether we are black or white we must
face frankly the hard. stubborn fact
that in bondage and In freedom the
negro. in spite of all predictions to tho
contrary, has continued year by year
to Increase In numbers until he now
forms about one-seyenth OF the entire
population. and there is no sign that
the same ratio OF increase will not
hold good In the future.
Further than this. despite all tho
changing, uncertain conditions through
which the race has passed and is pass
ing. you will flnd that in every year
since the black man came into this
country. whether In bondage or In
freedom. he has made steady gain In

Investments in Mexico alone aggregat-
ing more than $500.000.O00. The earn

This fact, II is suggested, brings home
to this country the desirability OF

After considering the subject care
fully, II was the opinion OF the parties
to yesterdays conference that II would
be wise for Congress to confer upon
the President the authority to appoint
three commissioners 10 participate In

that might be arranged. 1t Is expected
that another effort will be made at

MAY STOP EXPRESS COMPANIES
CARRYING LOTTERY TICKETS

Washington, Feb. el.-The dociaion
rendered yesterday by the Supreme
Court in the famous Champion lottery
ticket case Is regarded as more Inn
portant and far-rsaching than all tho
trust legislation enacted by the pres
ent Congress.
The power OF Congress to prohibit
the sending OF lottery tickets from
one state to another by other means
than the malls was passed on. but the
effect OF the decision Is far reaching
as giving Congress full power TO con-
troll and regulate Interstate com-
merce.
The question arose In connection
with two cases: that OF Champion vs..
the United States. and that of Francis
Va. the United States. In both cases
the constitutionality OF the act of Con-
gress OF 1895. prohibiting the trans-
mission OF lottery tickets from one
state to another by express or other
wise. was challenged.
The opinion in the Champion case
was delivered by Justice Harlan, and
sustained the validity of the law. In
the Francis case. Justice Holmes spoke
for the court, holding that the offense
alleged did not come within the scope
OF the law In question. Both were
criminal cases.
Champion. at tho time of his arrest.

known as the Pan-American Lottery

and Immediately sued for a writ of ha-

Court sitting In Chicago refused to
grant. He appealed from that adverse
decision TO the supreme Court. and IL
is this appeal which was decided to-
day. tho decision being adverse 10 him
Summing up. Justice Harlan said;
I'VE decide nothing more In the
presen. case than that lottery tickets
are subjects OF traffic among those who
choose TO sell or buy them; that car
riage OF such tickets by independent
carriers from one state to another 10
therefore Interstate commerce; that

the constitution upon the exercise or
the powers grnntcd-has plenary nti-

John p. Brown. secretary-treasurer
Of the International Society of Arbor-
iculture, has been in Denver during
the last few days in the interests of
the magazine which is published by
that organization. The February num-
ber of the Aboriculture has just been
published. II is devoted to the consid-
GRAFTON of the catalpa tree. Mr..
Brown. who is also the editor of the
magazine. has Travelled over the entire
country gathering information and
making experiments in the growth of
this tree In 1898 a booklet was pub
lished upon this tree by the society.
Since that time much interest has
been aroused all over the country in
the possibilities of the catalpa This
interest is the cause of the publica-
tion of an entire number of the Abort
culture devoted to the catalpa.
The Investigations and experiments
of many of the experts upon the ques-
tion of wood and timber have been
gathered for publication in the volume.
Mr.. Brown himself has Travelled thou
sands of miles collecting information
concerning the catalpa tree. Railroads
and telegraph companies will soon be
come dependent almost entirely upon
the catalpa species for their supply of
telegraph poles and railroad ties.
A peculiarity of the catalpa tree is
the fact that 1t grows tall and even.
The trunk of the tree continues al
most to the very highest branches and
maintains nearly the same diameter
throughout.
The trees are being planted in nur-
series by the railroad companies all
over the country. The Rio Grande
Western Company has a large grove
Of nearly 100000 trees at Provo. Utah
These trees are two years old and
have reached height of sixteen TO
eighteen feet.
The wood is said to answer the pur-
pose as well as other wood used and
its cost is much less. The magazine
gives a number of Illustrations com
pairing the catalpa and its growth with
that of other trees. The cost. care
and advantage of growing catalpa
trees for various uses are also set
forth. Mr.. Brown has SO prepared his
subject that much useful knowledge
can be obtained by those who are in
terested in the different woods-Den-
