Agricultural Department
CONDUCTED BY FULTON $. WHITE.

It Is wonderful what great interest is
now found along the line OF agricultural
development and edueAtion. Farmers in
all parts of the country are reading and
thinking and acting as never before.
There is reason for all this. and one of
the strongest reasons is that farmers are
finding out that they can not succeed
under the old system of farm operations,
when it was all muscle and but little
brain work.
The man in this day and under the in
fiuences of modern methods in farming,
as now taught and practiced by both the
state and the best farmers, must realize
that unless he keeps abreast of the times
he Is sure to be left. Intensive farming
is now the order rather than so much ex-
tensive practice. To get more out of less
land is now the order Of the day.
Our readers perhaps may not have
much interest in what is taking place
on the farms in The west, and I shall
only use the west for object lessons.
There are many things in the west that
our farmers In the east might find of In
terest Since my last letter l have been
holding meetings with Texas farmers,
and have been visiting them on their
farms and In their homes and making
notes of what is going on in the way of
improvement, and it is simply wonderful
the progress that is being made.
Texas, of course, is being worked and
pushed and the farmers have a chance
here to gather and store up a vast

TRADE REPORTS IRREGULAR

New York, February 5.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Sensational fluctuations in the great
staples were the feature of the week,
cotton and coffee attaining new high
records for the season. but subsequently
declining sharply, while grain advanced.
Trade reports are irregular, improve
ment at the south and west finding little
response at the large cities. Persistent
low temperature is providing a good de-
mand for heavy wearing apparel, and in
creasing the difficulties of transportation.
Spring buyers are arriving in large num-
bers with noteworthy eagerness to secure
cotton goods, even at the enhanced
prices.
Railway earnings for January averaged
z per cent larger than in 1903.
Iron and Steel Slow.
Progress is slow in the iron and steel
industries. new business coming forward
reluctantly. In several lines it has not
proven possible to maintain price agree
ments, some producers making special
pect that there will be an ope market for
cotton ties. better outlook is reported
for structural Steel
Just when buyers Of cotton goods were
beginning to exhibit a pronounced dis
position to place more liberal orders, the
collapse in the raw material produced
hesitation. Consumers have reduced sup
plies in the hands of dealers to a point
that necessitated replenishing, and the
inquiries for prompt shipment were ex-
panding Notwithstanding this interrupt
ton, a better volume of trade is in pro-
gress, and it is recognized that goods
were by no means on a parity with raw
amterial at its zenith. New England
shoe manufacturers have ample business
in sight but there is much complaint of
the scarcity of leather and the increased
cost of production.
Commercial failures this week in the
United States are 246 against 1902 last
week, and 264 the corresponding week last
year. Failures in Canada number %
against 2S last week, and 80 last year.

dairy question, for his cows were poor
stock for a dairy herd, and then ne mas
never made a test of the milk OF any
Of his cows, but is going altogether by
guess as to what his cows are doing in
the butter fat business No doubt, from
appearances, he has number or COWS
in his herd that should be welded out
and sold for beef. Education Is what he
needs for his dairy operations.
Then again, all over this farm there
is vast amount of fine manure going to
waste that should be turned to good use
on the farm.
Another objec. Lesson.
I saw another object lesson on large
fruit farm The man had bought and
put wood ashes-unleached wood ashes
around his fruit trees. There was four
times as much around a tree as there
should have been. Had he used one
fourth of the amount and added to this
n few hounds of salt or so as
to hold the moisture until the roots OF
the trees could have time to take up the
available potash from the ashes, his
trees would have been greatly benefited.
| might go on and state many such
smple facts as these, all of which farm
ers ought to understand and which they
must understand before they can sue
coed, but the question is how is the
farmer who has to work his land Tor
a living to learn these things? He can
take time now to attend agricultural
colleges, and so what is he to doY The
only solution to this problem Is IN Or
ganization, cooperation and education.
Farmers must organize farmers lnsll-
tutes; they must meet and work together
in this education. The general govern

ment, the state governments, In most
states, and the leading railroads are pay
ing men of experience to go out and
teach farmers all these practical meth
DDS Most of these educators are men
of rare ability, men of great experience
and resources. They have spent years
of hard study and so are able to impart
to the farmer at once information
which 1t would cost them years to get
from schools, as well as a vast amount
of hard cash.
All Farmers Not Ignorant.
Now I do not wish to be understood
to include all farmers in the class that
so badly need this instruction, for we
have many wide-awake, up-to-date
farmers who understand all these prac-
tical things. Neither do / wish to con-
vey the impression that l am out in the
capacity of a teacher alone, for l am
a student, ever trying to learn, and I
scarcely hold a farmers meeting any,
where but that / get new and valuable
IDEAS Farmers can and should learn
from each other and when they have a
farmers institute they should meet reg
llarly. have a well laid out programme
and exchange ideas, swap ideas. learn
one from another. Now I know that
there are some things that have been
in the way of farmers holding together
Sometimes politics creep in and some one
wants to use the organization for polit-
ical or personal gain Politics should
never be allowed to get into farmers or
CARNATIONS. True every farmer should
have his own political ideas, and there
are places to use these, but keep them
out of your farmers Institutes.
Then there is another thing In this
farmers institute work. There should
be as few collections taken as can be
got along with, for a farmer does not
want to be called upon at every meeting
for money. Then where every member
discharges his duties as he should but
little money will be needed.
But great progress is being made
along all these educational lines, and
only hard work along the lines as indi-
Gated will produce even greater results.
During the past week 1 have had some
able men with me in this work, and to-
gether we have worked up a great inter-
est among the people To morrow we
take up the work again at other towns
and we hope for another weeks work
that will result in much good. ] am just
in receipt of a letter from President
Harding of the A. and M. college of Mis-
sissippi. and we are arranging to hold
a series of farmers meetings from Mem
phis to Birmingham. These meetings we
want to get started by the middle of
March. Both President Harding and
myself have all We can do from now
until that time.

New York, February 5.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Weather conditions unfavorably affect
trade and transportation throughout most
of the west, while widely fiuctuating
markets of cotton, coffee and the cereals
make the speculative situation OF these
staples a matter of concern. The feeling
grows that later opening of spring
trade, and conservative buying, are to
be looked for in many lines. Exceptions
are to be found at the south, which re-
ports wholesale. activity, especially in
fertilizers, live stock and implements, all
preparations looking to an immense acre
age in cotton. Next to this, may be
classed the southwest, which, despite cold
weather, reports trade satisfactory for
the season, the outlook good, and bank
clearings very large.
Eastern trade reports are good as to
retail winter trade, which is said to have
cleaned UP old stocks of goods As to
spring trade, however, irregularity is
noted. The spring business in shoes has
been failure with eastern manufacture
ers, but fall trade Is yet absent. Mems

seryatively. Woods firm with stocks light
