A day of business and pleasure to promote

and national authorities is the motive prompt
ing these clubs to hold the picnic.
Farmers are living at too long range as re-
cards each other and often jeopardize their adj
vancement, not through a spirit OF malice, but
thouphtlessness. We help ourselves when we
helm others. Capital and labor have com.
bined to such an extent that farmers must
work in harmony if they are to ENJOY the 1 IN
precedented prosperity of the present DAY. we
are slumbering in the dust while the great
march of progress is leaving us in the distance.

NOVA Agriculture taught in our rural schools
from practical standpoint, teaching our boys
and girls the great truths of nature and the
systematic and orderly manner in which she
works: teaching them that farm life presents
advantages to the energetic boy and girl offered

as an art worthy the consideration, OF every

A Permanent Farmers School.--Mr.
| Henry G, Weaver writes to the Baltimore
| 1nlericd, as follows: "a farmers school was
| opened Tuesday at College Park, Nd, at which
| the tillers of the soil listen to lectures from
professors of agriculture. That this conference
| will be beneficial to those who attend cannot
be denied, and while they Din session THINK
| il would be we'll to make it permanent In
| stitution. Conditions change from year to
| year in the agricultural business, and think
| It would be an excellent plan to arrange LOT an
| annual meeting of the farmers OF the state, SO
| that they can assemble and exchange views.
| The farmers not only gain knowledge OF the
| more modern methods of tilliDg the SOIL but
they are instructed in the business END OF
selling their products. Such aschool is purely
didactic and the benefits derived are immense.
The farmers should be made to realize this,
and some definite action toward the 1ormatlon
i of permanent school should be undertaken
| at this session. Four days out OF a year, es'
| pecally in the dull season, is not TOO muc u
| fine to attend such q school. If Maryland is
to become great agricultural center, then our
| farmers must keep abreast with mooerh me'n'
DDS, and the only way they can do 80 IS tc
congregate every year and exchange ideas
| Let us hope that such will be DONE"
