TO pay last years scale of wages, but
this was not agreeable to the masters

difference in the wages of men doing
exactly similar work. The strike has
been one of the most costly in wages
and time lost and stagnation to Eusl-

Failure to recognize this fact is the
explanation, no doubt of the failure of
these plants in re-enriching the soil in
many instances.
An Important Problem.
The most important problem that
presents itself. in my judgment, to the
people of the State at this time Is how
to educate and instruct our agricultur-
lists in the principles and art Of agri-
culture, and to supply an intelligent,
sage and Industrious labor. The for
mer may be accomplished by teaching
agriculture in our common schools, in
the district agricultural schools, in our
higher schools of learning. and through
the fundamentally of Farmers Insti-
tutes and organizations. 1t is perhaps
impracttcable to teach the old farmers
all of the great fundamental principles
of the science and art of agriculture,
but they can be taught the practical
methods by which these are to be ap-
piled. Nor is 1t necessary that every
farmer should learn by his own expe-
rience these principles and methods
any more than 1t is necessary that a
doctor or a lawyer should learn by his
personal experience the laws of health
and disease and the laws OF the coun-
try, respectively.
The experience of the past Is made
available in scientific text books. peri-
odicals and bulletins issued by the Ag-
ricultural Departments of the United
States and of the several States. etc.
nor is 1t necessary that he should pro-
duce upon his own land the hybridized
species or the seed OF the fully devel-
oped species through the process of
selection. These are today staples of
commerce and can be easily procured
and there is no reason why. with the
means for education and instruction at
the disposal of every farmer and with
the improved varieties of seed. Joints
etc. for planting. that our farmers can
not at once or at an early day begin
to enjoy the benefits of modern agri-
cultural science and art. In aid OF
this. the State should use every power
and influence az its disposal
Wit our God-given and intrinsic
potentality of climate. soil and peo-
pie, and with the application of the
best and most available methods in our
agricultural pursuits. every small farm
In this state may become a unit of
matchless prosperity. and every great
plantation in this State. If operated
py an intelligent, safe and Industrious
tenantrY. will become a miniature king
dom or agricultural prosperity. and its
owner the lord of the manor and the
whole or the state, through these. will
become an industrial and commercial
entity uneQualled in the United States
and over all will rest the blessings of
a beneficent Providence. and for all tho
rich reward of an Intelligent harmo-
NOUS and Industrious effort"
