more effective for reaching present farmers.
The Ontario College of Agriculture, at Guelph,
offers an example. In twenty five years Can
adian agriculture has been revOlutiOnized. Can
ada's cheese and butter were graded lowest in
the general market To-day they are graded
highest because of work largely centring about
this school Last summer forty thousand Can
adian farmers visited it on excursions arranged
for systematic, though brief, study. The farm
ers Institutes which in Canada are active local
organizations, get up these trips with aid from
. the government which also provides speakers
and experts for local meetings, at which one
hundred and fifty thous nd people attend annu-
ally Nearly five thousand former students are
also organized into an agricultural and expert
mental union and are 50 many nerves for keep
ing the college and the community in close com
muncatiOn. What hope would there be of get
ting forty thousand farmers a year TO visit
Canton for inspiration, of carrying on other
features of this work through an entirely, new
York to turn the energies of its Educational
Department 10 the agricultural problem, make
the teaching Of its extension lecturers more prac
teal, organize work through the rural counties
in cooperation with Geneva and Cornell, and
wake these institutions up 10 q new sense Of
their duty and opportunity. Before establishing
a new and necessarily feeble agricultural college
it should bring the methods of its present
agencies thoroughly up TO date and use to the
full their latent powers toward promoting the
agricultural revolution which the state needs.

REPLIES TO PLEA FOR ART TAX
J. Carroll Beckwith Declares Present Taris
Has Retarded American Development.

Interest has been excited in art circles am0ng the
friends Of the movement to repeal the tax art
by the letter signed American published IN
Mondays Tribune. advancing some considerations
why the protest against an art tax should not Be
Needed.
A statement in reply TO American" was given
to a Tribune reporter last night by J. Carroll Beck
with, viCe-president of the American Free Art
League of Eastern New-York, which has branches
in every state Of the Union. Replying to Amer

American whose letter appeared in The Trib-
une Monday, evidently does not consider the sub

too little credit to the works OF our predecessors,

We still believe in our contention that q tax upon
great pictures, as we'll upon art generally does

LONG RANGE WEATHER. FORECASTS

Before the Washington Weather Bureau be-
gins the new service of which an fntimatfon
was given to the public the other evening bv
Mr.. Moore, more explicit announcement about
its character will doubtless be vouchsafed than
has yet been made. This is exceedingly dpsira-
bic, in order to avert MISUNDERSTANDING and
minimize disappointment. It is possible even
now, however 10 surmise Mr. Moores inten-
tiOns. The promised forecasts will probably NOT
be specific, but be general. They are not likely
TO partcularize for particular days like the
outgivings Of those oversanguine amateur proph-
cts who seem to care more for notoricty and
shekels than science. 1t is safe to say that at
most they will only hint ut tendencies which
may be expected to prevail for a period of con
siderable duration, like a month To do so
much as that with a reasonable degree of accu-
racy will be an exceedingly useful perform
ance.
Mr.. Moores proposition is not without u ra
tional basis. In middle attitudes the normal
habit Of the weather is to be slightly ahpor

ARTS AND CRAFTS MOVEMENT.
Formation of an Organization in This City
Said To Be Certain.

Owing to the energy which Spencer Trask. presi-
dent Of the National Arts Club, is putting into the
arts and crafts movement the success Of a per
ranent organization was declared to be assured
yesterday a subcommittee is drafting a
constitution and preparing the necessary resolu-
lions to place before the organizing meeting Of the
craftsmen, which will be called shortly.
Regarding the Importance of this arts and crafts
movement. Frederick 5. Lamb. secretary OF the
committee on the building Of the National
Arts Club, said yesterday:
Intense interest has been aroused in this arts
and crafts movement throughout the United
States. communications having been received from
all the important cities. Frederick Allen Whiting
secretary Of the Society Of Arts and Crafts, in
Boston, says that he has long appreciated the need
Of such an organization in New York. In fact, he
says, many OF the patrons of the Boston Arts and
Crafts exhibition New Workers, and he has
even been requested to start branch in the city
of New York.
From the enthusiastic support given by the
craft workers and the experience Of similar move
ments in other cities. it Is felt that this efrOrt
cannot fail"

that Mr. Moore cherishes such purpose IL
would be sorry to see him undertake the WORK
prematurely. 1t is to be hoped that rehearsals
in private will be continued long enough TO
guarantee success before the public is admitted
to the bureaus confidence. Absolute accuracy
is not to be expected If 60 or 20 per cent OF
the proposed forecasts are verified, month after
month, both Mr.. Moore and the public ought
TO be satisfied If not more than 80 per cent OF
them are correct the chances would be just
even that any fresh one would be right or
wrong. Something better than that is demand
ed In view of the immense possibilities opened
IN bv the service. it is to be hoped that Mr..
Noore's preparations will be thorough.

CHINESE BOYCOTT ENDED.

Chinese in Southern China, II not in

a thing Of the past. and says the Chinese
people are not depriving themselves Of a

United States on account Of the agitation
worked M to such a pitch last year.
While no official ORDER" said Mr..
Neeley, has been issued that I know OF

buying American goods IN large quanti-
ties all over Southern China. When the
boycott was IN force the ChinaWen. many
of them, did not want % observe it, and
