AGRICULTURAL I
NEEDED.
TEACHING
MORE

Occasionally, but not often, we find
instructors and officials in our agri-
cultural colleges who still have the
old idea that an educated man is unfit
for farm work, and attempt to attach
to the agricultural instruction the
idea that the student is being fitted
for professional agriculture instead
of better farm work. No greater mis-
take was ever made. The best work
today being done by our agricultural
schools and colleges is where the stu
dent is taught not only the scientific
part of agriculture, but the practical as
well. The sooner the above kind OF
instructors are replaced by persons
having liking for farming affairs, the
better it will be for those institutions.
The practical side should not be sac
riiced for the scientific.
Our common school system needs,
as never before, instruction along the
lines of agriculture and kindred sub
jects. DIR A. R. Hill, of the Univer-
sity of Missouri, in commenting upon
this matter, says that the reason go
many of the farmers boys, when far
enough advanced in education to en-
ter college, choose law or medicine or
some other profession is because our
school system is wrong and the high
school never speaks about agricul-
ture.
Four years spent in the average
high school is apt to wean the Toy
away from the farm, even if he en-
tered simply with view of increas-
ing his intelligence and preparing
himself in a general way for his life
work. This defect can best be rem
eoied by the Introduction into our
schools of courses in agriculture, hor-
ticul; ure and manual training, and by
making them solid courses in tie
hands of teacher who, in addition
to general scholarship, possesses a
sound knowledge of the science OF
agriculture, or is himself proficient In
the use of tools.

THE FARM POWER PROBLEM.

Something should be said about the
Fairbanks advertising on farm power.
Certainly theirs is a striking idea, and
it would seem that it is an idea that
will appeal to thousands of readers.
This is an az of specialties, AID in
the scale business it is special work
that has made the Fairbanks Com
pany famous. In their book on farm
power they tell of how their scale de-
partment has put up to it almost every
day propositions from the great rail-
roads and manufacturers of the world.
tt is from this fact that they got their
idea on farm power, and they come
out frankly in their advertising and
say they will undertake to work out
the particular power problem of any
Farmer readers before they even ask
them to buy any sort of an engine or
machine. Tt is strong position, and
one that will appeal to the common
sense of readers. There is hardly one
man in thousand who will read this
who is absolutely sure Of how much
power he needs, or how to apply that
power after he gets it. That is to
say, he is not sure he can make an
application of the power in such q
way that it will show him a profit
The old "show me" joke about the
man from Missouri has taken a strong
hold in all lines of business. Every.
where you hear it quoted. A mar
wants to know what an advertiser il
going to do for him before he invests
his money. The Fairbanks idea of {
farm power department, in charge o.
practical men who know the farm
and the needs of the farm, will ap
peal to Farmer readers.-The Tribun,
Farmer.

Russia's Emperor q Busy Man.

There is nowadays not great deal
of gaiety at the Russian court. The
Emperor is very busy man; he
probably has more to do, even in time
of peace, than any other man in the
world. Combine the responsibility of
the president, the cabinet, congress,
the governors of states, state legis-
tors, and mayors of the principal
cities in this country, and you will be-
gin to form an idea of the load on the
shoulders of Nicholas II. There is no
fnality below him, except as he per-
mits it.; and the mass of details that
actually reaches him is astonishing.
If President Roosevelt bad to grant
permits to operate mills in Texas,
erect buildings in New York, or form
mining companies in California, be-
fore any such operations could be be-
gun, even his giant energy would
be taxed. Yet, incredible as it may
seem. the Emperor of Russia exam
ines into myriads of similar min
utiae, besides attending to the great
affairs Of state.

New England Prospecting.

New England history, thrift and
progress, commenced when the Pill
grims landed at Plymouth in 1920.
They worked untiringly and unceas-
ingly for the establishment of COM
mercial centres and industrial mar
kets; and the present fourishing
manufacturing and commercial ac-
tivity of the Hub shows how well they
succeeded. But Nature appeared on
the scene long before our early
progenitors and shaped the bay and
shore line; piled up the mountains
and artistically laid out the lake and
valley lands. The "Crystal Hills"
long, long years ago were the sacred
haunt of the red mems Manitou, the
lakes and rivers, the borigines' fish
ing grounds, and the magnificent
sea coast was their haven of rest.
Then the "pale face" came, and after
wards was the advent of the railroad.
Busy marts, high mountains, lake
and inland sections and the entire sea
coast were all linked by the great
steam railroad. Climatic conditions
have not changed, nothing new,

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. FOR WORK.

Helen Keller, who has been go mar
vellously educated despite her lack of
sight, speech, and hearing has written
AN Apology For Going to College"
for the June McClure's. There was
never more triumphant victory for
optimism than this remarkable young
girls conquest of her limitations.
She entered Radcliffe College in i h
face of Heterogeneous of her best
advisers, for blind deaf-mute who
could only communicate with the coli
lege world and her books through the
medium of her teacher and companion
to attempt course which, to even
the normal girl, is severe enough,
seemed to them pitiful foolishness.
but love of knowledge says Miss
Keller, "all the forces of my nature
were cudgelling me to college" She
went. and succeeded. The story of
the winning of her A. B. degree is
modestly told in charmingly simple
way.

scholarship that | made the pilgrim

island.
"Of course, had little part in the
social life of my college. I enjoyed
my share of work, the obstacles
which were declared insurmountable
came against me one way, and
retreated seven ways, and that was
happiness enough. I had, too, many
pleasures, solitary and apart from the
other girls but as genuine as theirs"
my friendships must come through
the medium of my hand, and few of
the girls knew the manual alphabet,
and the conditions under which we
shook hands for a moment in the
crowded class room were not favor

reach me through my isolation, and

LITTLE SON AIDS THE FAMILY
August Busse Dies From Disease Con-

Years Aso-Patrolmen's Wives
Angels Of Mercy

The story Of the whiri of fortunes
wheel which gave poverty for riches
the uphill struggle for an existence
and the heroism Of man combating
fatal Illness came to light yesterday
with the death of A. H. Busse, for
twenty years patrolman on the Chi
cago police force, at his home 1928
Redwood avenue.
For the past few months Busse, with
his wife and three children, was de-
pendent for a living upon a pension
Of a few dollars and the pittance
which the eldest son, boy of 13 years,
was able to make acting as a mes
senger in the Vile de Paris store.
Busse died of pulmonary tuberculosis
contracted seven years ago while on
duty at a fire, and in addition to the
cost of living there were doctors bills
to be paid.
Mrs. J. M. Harrison and Mrs. F. D.
Mack wives of patrolmen living in the
neighborhood with Mrs. Busse, were
in almost constant attendance upon
the sick man during his illness of the
last few weeks, but they had no
knowledge of the financial distress of
the Busse family until yesterday.
Mrs. A. E. McClurg, S26 South Grand
avenue, who became acquainted with
the family after their arrival here
eight months ago, conferred with
Chief Hammel yesterday and as con-
sequence 1t is probable that the local

widow and her three small children.
Long Years In Service
Busse when sixteen years old became
a member of the Chicago fire depart
ment, five years later he became ident-
flied with the police force of the same
city. He servd as a patrolman for
twnty years, and while in the per-
formance of his duty contracted con-
sumption. He had amassed enough
money, through fortunate investments
of his savings in Chicago real estate
to have lasted him for the rest of his
life, but the services of physicians
and the unscrupulousness of persons
with whom he had dealings, made sad
inroads on his competence and when
he reached Los Angeles last Decem-
Der with his family, 1t was with lit
tie or no money.
He came to Los Angeles to die. He
was fully aware of the fact. He sought
to recover his health in the high alti-
tude of the Colorado mountains, but
the doctors told him his case was
hopeless.
In Los Angeles Joseph, the eldest son,
