BOOKS ON ELEMENTARY AGRICUL
TURE

There is widespread opinion among
those who have given most thought to
the subject that the teaching of agri-
culture should begin in the rural schools,
and the effort is being made to prepare
suitable books for this purpose, and by
the summer schools in colleges of agri-
culture to prepare the teachers for the
proper use of these books. number of
such books have lately been presented
for the consideration of those who control
the introduction into the schools. One OF
these, published by Southern house,
was found so absolutely nonsensical that
it seems to have dropped dead from the
press. Another volume written by Mr..
Hunnicutt, editor of the Southern Guilt
yator, and published by the Cultivator
Company, impressed us quite favorably
OF Il cursory examination, and we have
stated our opinion in rather favorabl /,
terms. But a more careful reading OF
the book shows that it abounds in hurt
full errors, and is far from being the
book it should be to put into the hands
of children. In the first place, the Eng
lish language is at times, badly mutilated.
The author seems to ha-e confused
idea as to what constit les an element,
since he places humus, among the ec-
ments, while it is one the most COM
pick of compounds. he repeats in
writing about how p get food from
the SOIL the old exploued notion that the
roots have absorbent "spongioles., at their
tips. We now know that there is nc
such thing as spongiole on the rootlets
but that each rootlet has a more or less
pointed root cap at its tip, and that the
ahcorDtiOn of water from tha soil is aC
complished by means of the microscopic
root hairs just back of the tip, which
ere continually driving off and being re-
newed as the rootlet pushes through tho
soil, and that the cap is continually, re-
newed by the increase of cells behind II
c1d at the growing point of root, so that

the extreme tip of root is q little older
than the part just back of it. He says,
"Circulatlon is the law Of plant life"
Now, 1t is well known that there is no
circulation in plants at all comparable
to the circulation OF the blood in ami
mails. Through the soil comes the sap
The roots take up water from the soil
in which the plant food is dissolved, but
this is simply water and not sap, for
the true sap is thes elaborated material
for growth which the leaves make from
the carbon they get from the air and the
food that the roots bring UP in water.
Then we have the astonishing statement
that the carbon must pass from the at
mosphere to the earth and through the
roots into the plant. Now, if there is
one thing completely established it is
the fact that plants get their carbon
from the, carbon dioxide in the air. which
enters the pores of the leaves and is
there decomposed by the green matter
in the cells and the carbon taken and
the oxygen thrown off, and there is no
evidence whatever that carbon in the
soil gets into the plant through the roots
Then he repeats the error about the
spongioles, and says that they take up
water which is called sap and which
runs up and down through the pores Of
the plant, when it does nothing of the
sort, but simply carries up plant food
and is evaporated from the leaves to
condense the plant food so that the
leaves can make building material from
it. These and numerous other errors of
an elementary nature are enough to con-
denim the book as a text book for young
people, and we regret the hasty view
that caused us to give a favorable notice
CT the book From the press of CHM and
Co. we have another little book that
comes nearer being The true thing for
the rural schools than any yet published.
This is by Professors Burkett, Stevens
and Hill of the North Carolina College
of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. It's
English is pure, its scientific facts are
up-to-date and it's elementary lessons in
farm practice are just what school boy
can grasp and get interested in. Then,
too, the book is on fine paper and has
wealth of beautiful illustrations, a thing
o. great Importance in book intended
to attract school children. Then, too,
there is not too much of it, but it il
simply what it purports to be, the a. b.
c. of the farm.

The Old Trinity and the New. .
Charity and Children.

Charity and Children.
Trinity College once stood for all that
cultivated Christian manhood means. and
North Carolina is a debtor to the in
stitution for the mighty work it has done.
We are writing within seven miles OF the
place from which It's uplifting influence
streamed through all the State. II was
poor, and always had to struggle to keep
it's head above the waves, but limited as
were its resources, it keeps on its way and
trained men who are now standing in
the very front rank in all the walks OF
life. They may be seen in the Senate
of the United States, on the bench, at
the bar, in the pulpit, in business life,
and everywhere. 1t taught its sons to
be loyal to the old mother and uphold
her good name. We now have the new
Trinity. The poverty of the college Is
thing of the past. 1t is strong, well
equipped, progressive and powerful. But
as Senator Vance used to say, there are
some things in this world that are better
than money. One of these simple faith
in God and one another. Trinity having
waxed fat, like Jeshurin, has begun 10
kick. Her professors. tired of the beaten
track, are blazing out new ones, They
are what IS farmed broad l. "-tnat is,
men who INST lead into new fields and
occupy new positions. The way the
fathers trod is forsaken because it IS
an old way. Like the Athenians. the
business of these Trinity professors seems
to be constantly to hear and to tell some
new thing. They are reckless inconoclasts
who smash and shatter everything in
sight. They have 1oosed from the anchor
that held us to the old social political
and religious view and are afloat on an
unknown sea, all their own. They are

Farmers Dissatisfied.
(Southern Tobacco Journal.)

(Southern Tobacco Journal)
Many leading tobacco growers IN Vir.
GINA, says correspondent, who nave kept
an account of their labor and money ex.
pended raising tobacco, state that at pre-
vailing prices they will not make 10 cents
a day for all their work Many claim
they will not realize more than enough
to meet the expense of their fertilizers.
Owing to the low prices paid for tobacco
last year in the sections south and north
of the James river, including the counties
where the greater part of the dark Eng
lish stripping leaf is produced, not hall
the usual acreage was grown this year.
In the sun cured belt prices are very un-
satisfactory to the planters. Numerous
meetings are being held at which growers
are pledging themselves to raise other
crops next season.
Farmers in all tobacco growing Sec
tions are thoroughly aroused to action.
Organizations are being perfected in many
portions of North and South Carolina,
as well as Virginia. 1t seems to be the
idea of these organizations to impress
upon farmers the Importance of curtain
ing their tobacco crops another year. To
a large extent this idea will be carried
out, especially if the high prices cotton is
bringing now should continue. However,
indications point now to higher prices
for this tobacco crop, and we believe all
the conditions that have to do with to-
bacco are more encouraging.

Trinity is the storm centre of heresy
for North Carolina. We are in hopes
the contagion will not spread. So far
none of the other colleges are so seriously
afflicted. 1t is nice to have a pictures
pue president, but he may come at toe
high a price. After awhile this little
furry will be over. The sober sense o
the Methodist church will assert itself
and the college will be anchored again
In the meantime we trust nobody else
worth while will be foolish enough to sail
in the Trinity balloon.
