Bradenburg discusses the yellow

the millions eager to work at remun-

products of their own soil, under
their own hands, represent a vast
fund of potential energy that is like
a huge reservoir. The establishment

Breaking the Fruit-Car Monopoly.

The Michigan fruit-shippers have
the private-car monopoly which un-
til the present season has held their
business in it's grasp. An action
brought against the Michigan Cen
trail Railroad before the Interstate
Commerce Commission resulted In
declaration on the part of the rail
road corporation that hereafter it
would use its own refrigerator cars,
charging shipper exact cost for the
icing service. Former testimony be-
fore the Commission had shown that
these icing charges had been ad-
vanced by the monopoly (known as
the Armour Car Lines) from three
hundred to four hundred per cent. In
consideration of this pledge from the
Michigan Central. the case was dis
missed by the Commission as to that
railroad. Reductions of between ff
teen and thirty per cent in these ex-
cessive charges had been offered by
the Armour Company, but had not
been accepted by the commission
merchants or by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The Flint
and Pere Marquette Railroad still
has contract with the car trust and
has no refrigerator cars of its own.
1t will thus be at decided disadvan-
tage in competing for shipments
with the Michigan Central. The
fruit men of Michigan regard the
monopoly as broken. A few days af-
ter the announcement of the Michi-
gan CentraPs position in the matter
certain disclosures were made before
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion at Chicago which had tendency
to intensity the public Indignation
against the private-car trust. A
former employee of the Armour Car
Lines, Streyckmans by name, gave
important testimony concerning the
system of rebates to shippers, the
methods of bookkeeping by which the
prices paid by the Armour Company
to certain railroads for ice are falsi-
fed, and the practice, common to
several railroads, of paying the Ar
mour Company bonus of $40 car
for routing" fruit shipments over
their lines. The secret cipher code
employed by the Armour Company
in transmitting instructions regard
ing rebates was offered in evidence.
This code contained words intended
to be used in giving instructions to
agents to avoid service of summons
to testify before the Interstate
Commerce Commission. There was
even a code word for the name of
each member of the Commission. The
articles by Mr.. Charles E. Russell
in "Everybody's Magazine" have
brought out many facts not touched
upon by the Garfield report, which
tend to show that the trust had good
reason to evade official inquiries

Graduates who have remunerative

chant in the enighborhood. He said,
'No." / asked if he would change
with the doctor or the preacher. He
said, "No." Neither would he ex-
change with any of the average law
gers. And yet he had been so thought
| less as to say that every one was
prospering but the farmer. He had
not before thought. on the subject,
and was compelled to say that his
position was the best in the commun-
| ity. The great number of farmers
proves that farming pays. A business

a good business for a college man? %
1t is deemed essential for the So
called professional man to have col
lege education. The popular idea of
| agriculture is simply the manual
operation of cultivating the soil and
caring for stock, but agriculture
really extends through the teaching
of science, the Investigations of the
laboratory and the experimental field.
1t is no longer merely manual
trade, but includes study of all the
forces of nature and is wider than
any of the socalled learned profes-
sions. and is yearly grasping more
difficult problems. What was once
expected of single professor of
agriculture now requires all the time
of staff of specialists in it's various
branches. The colleges need now
200 men, each worth from $4,000 to
$4,000 annually, and cannot get them.
Other professions are full, agricul-
ture needs men. There are places
enough but the man must be worth
the money. The great railway sys-
TENS want S. 900 men trained In agrl-
culture They want fully forty men
to study the problems along their
routes for the benefit of the farmers
there, in order that the products may
be increased, thus to increase the

NEED OF AGRICULTURAL EDU-
CATION.

A.& M. College, Raleigh, June l,
1905.
The Southern planter of fifty
wears ago was commonly an educated
man The Northern schools and col
leocs were then we'll filed with
vGunc men from the Southern plan
tations. and those of the South al
most entirely so filed Estates were
large. and the number of laborers was
large. The educated proprietor
farmed on a large scale The educa-
ted men of that day who chose the
legal profession very generally be-
came eminent and numbered men of
national and international fame. If
he became a physician, he made a
good one; and in the pulpit he made
an acceptable preacher of the gospel.
But he was not so successful as a
farmer, wearing. out instead of inn
proving his land, not in the South
alone. for the abandoned farms of
New England testify to the same
fact. That this was the case in the
hands of educated men showed plain
" that though their education fitted
them for professional life, it had not
made farmers of them. The deterio-
ration of lands north and south
showed that something was wrong In
their management in the hands of the
educated men. Mere mental ability
is not enough to make a farmer. A
man may make a great success as a
lawyer. but when he tries to farm he
Is apt to make failure. The farm
er needs special training. About the
middle of the last century the de-
terioration of the land caused this
fact to be realized. Educated men
studied the situation and the result
was the Land Grant Act, known as
the first Morrill, bill, which set aside
10000 acres of the public land fol
each member of Congress, and these
were to be sold for the establishment
of at least one college in each State
whose leading object should be

and classical studies, and including
