Rural Engineering to the Fore.
A growing demand exists for more
and better instruction in rural engi-
neering, including drainage and irriga-
ton, and many schools are establishing
such courses. The Iowa, the Wiscon-
sin and the Minnesota agricultural col
leges have new and fine buildings for
their departments of rural engineering
or farm mechanics, and the Illinois and
North Dakota colleges give special at
tention to this subject.
The Rhode Island Agricultural col
lege announces this year for the first
time four year course in highway
engineering, intended to meet def
mite and growing demand for men COM
petent to build better roads," This is
probably the first course of the kind
ever offered in an American college.

AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS.
A Lively Int srest In Forestry, Rural
Engineering and Other Matters.
BY B. BENJAMIN. Jr.

u.
Washington, d. C.-The awakened
interest in forestry in this country has
created an extensive demand for infor-
nation on the subject. In particular
large numbers of inquiries are made to
the bureau of forestry at Washington
by men who think of taking up for
estry as a profession. A circular of
information for such persons has been
issued, and, in addition, the bureau
undertakes to answer willingly all
questions that are not covered by this.
The only position in the bureau of for
estry open to those whose training in
forestry is incomplete is that of forest
student, and it is clearly announced
by the bureau that work as a forest
student does not in itself constitute
stepping stone to higher positions in
the bureau of forestry, but forms
part only of the training useful in fit
ting a man for the profession of for
estry.
Forest students are, as a rule, APP
pointed for the field season only, which
varies from three to six months or
more No applicant under twenty years
of age is eligible for appointment as
forest student. Men, therefore, who
are already advanced in the study of
forestry, either at a forest school or
elsewhere, and who are in other re-
spects well qualified stand the best
chance of appointment.
Forest students in the field are placed
under the supervision of trained forest
ers in the execution of technical forest
work. They receive no formal instruc-
ton in forestry, but have in the daily
work abundant opportunity to learn
New Interest In the Potato.
Second to wheat alone as food for
mankind the potato is said to be. and
therefore it deserves whatever good
the department of agriculture may
bring about by its recently undertaken
Investigations and experiments for the
improvement of this tuber. As is well
known to every farmer, blight or rot
is the worst trouble of the potato
grower. An agent OF the department
who is in Europe is sending over speci-
mems of every foreign variety that
may prove valuable here. Several va
rieties believed to be immune to rot
have been received. Among these is a
wild plant of which the foliage has
SO disagreeable an odor that even the
potato bug prefers other pastures. The
department will experiment in cross
ing this wild potato with number of
standard American varieties in the
hope of obtaining hybrids resistant to
the diseases that annually diminish the
potato crop.
A great merit of the Uruguayan po-
tato, Solarnum commersonii, which is
just now much talked about, is it's re
sistance to disease, and it is hoped that
by cultivation and crossing it with
American varieties its decidedly bitter
taste NAV be removed
