 In our own Southland is anoth- CT striking illustration of the truth of the power of brain in produc tion. Who owns the wealth of this eountry9 the white man or the black man? Auditor Moore says that this year the coIored people paid five per cent and the whites ninety five per cent of our taxes. Why is 1t that one-third of the population owns only one-twen- tieth of the wealth of Arkansas? Education, brain power, is the answer.
 SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURE.
 In this connection the career of Prof. Holden of Iowa is interest ing. He was Il country school teacher in Michigan. He and his pupils began to experiment in raising corn, and by process of selecting and fertilization they ex- celled the neighboriug farmers. An Illinois farmer with twelve thousand acres hearing of it en- gagged him to take charge of his farm. In one year he increased the crop by one hundred thousand bushels, or S50,000 The great corn state of Iowa heard of him and the university offered ham q salary of S5.000 to teach agrono- my. The railroads pllced q spec ial car at his disposal in which he travelled over the state and lectur ed on corn culture. In 1903 04 as a result of his popular lectures the corn crop of Iowa was increased by 10000, ,000, bushels, worth SI0,000, ,000. This increase was confined to tue counties where he lectnred. The scientific informa- ton disseminated among the farm CTS of Illinois by the Agricultural Experiment Station has increased the corn crop an average of ten bushels an acre in that state. A few years ago, California found that the orange crop was being ruined by an insect, the cottony cushion scale. The state and fed eral government spent several hundred thousand dollars trying to discover method of destroying the insect. Finally Dr. C. B. Ri ley, of Washington, by expert mentlng found . littte insect in Australia, the lady- bug, which would destroy the scale. Lady

bugs were imported, scattered among the orange groves of Cali fornia and soon the scales disap- peared. The expenditure of few thousand dollars in the study of this question is now yielding as many millions year in the in creased orange crop of Cali fornia. The introduction of the Smyrna fig in California illustrates the value of scientific knowledge in agriculture. Many vain att tempts to grow the fig were made; ,; hortlculturalists were engaged to work on this problem; for years, their efforts were batiied, for the natives of Smyrna kept we'll the secret. Finally a student of the problem found a wild fig tree in Smyrna on which he discovered an insect which fertilized the fig. This solved the problem. He brought the tree to America, and with 1t the insect. Since then California s annual fig crop Is hun dreds of tons.
 Last year Prof. Walker, Horti- culturist at the University of Ark ansas, bought u rundown apple orchard near Fayetteville. He ex- perimented this year by fertiliz- ing and spraying. While all oth
 CT orchards around failed, he gath cred of of 27 acres 800 barrels of apples, on which he is now realiz- ing S400 a barrel. Until recently the prairie land about Lonoke was supposed to be almost worthless except for grazing. Two years ago the Experiment Station of the University established a branch station there and began expert menting in rice culture. It has been proven a success; the land IS yielding some seventy-hVe bushels to the acre; rice farms are being opened and land values are rising. True these are instances of expert scientific knowledge; but before advanced scientific institutions can be strong they must be based up- on strong popular scientific spir- 1t, which only good public schools will develop. Moreover the peo- pie must be sufficiently we'll edu- cated that they can apply results of scientific experiments.
 EDUCATION CAPITALIZED.
 A farm hand makes about S180 a year. At six per cent this rep resents q capital of S3,000. A high school graduate earns $500, which represents a capital of Sl0,- 900; that is, Sl, 200 spent on his elementary and high school educa tion adds 1000 to his capital, or yields six hundred percent on the investment. If he adds a college education he will then command S1, 200 a year which capitalized Is S20, ,000. The one thousand dol lars spent on his college course adds $10,O00 to his capital stock or yields one thousand percent on the investment. The average un- skilled day laborer on the the street receives $375 g year. Els. timating the working period of g man as forty years, he earns S15, ,000 in life, The college brec man who earns S1, 200 a year vii receive SIS, ,000 in life. The diff
 ference IS S33, ,000 in favor of the college man. Supposing that ht had spent fifteen years in acquir
 ing his education, the value in flu. ture earning power of every day

England by establishing a pub lie school system in 1870 so in- creased the earnings of her labor ing classes that she saves S40,- 000,0 annually on her pauper list alone. Victor Hugo says, Open school and you close a prison. , Since England began investing in brain and character. her population has increased one third, her criminals have deereas- ed one-third, and her expenditures on police and prison have decreas- ed S20,000, 900.
 PRODUCTIVE POWER VARIES
 WITH EDUCATION.
 Other things being equal this thesis seems to be true, the pro- ductive power of people will vary with their education. Edu- cation Is here used in broad sense to include such mental and manual training as will best fit for life Where the public school term in the United States is long est, there the average productive capacity of the citizen Is greatest. The tables below were prepared to ascertain the truth of this prop osition. The education statistics. were drawn from the Reports of the United States Commissioner of Education and those on produc- ton from the Twentieth Census. The comparison of Arkansas and the United States at large in 1900 reads as follows: As IS, the aver age number of days schools were. kept open in Arkansas, Is to 145, the average number of days schools were open in the United States; so S95, the per capita production in Arkansas, is to S23S, the per cap ita production in the United i States.
 Michigan and Arkansas came into the Union at the same time. and allowing for the ravages of war, comparison between them, 
 illustrates the truth which we are emphasizing. Taking 1900, the proportion would read: As 7S, the average length of school term in Arkansas, is to 162, the average length in Michigan; so S95, the average per capita production In Arkansas, is to $20S, the average per capita production in Michigan There is also a vital relation be- tween educational expenditure and productive power. The comparI- son of the same states in 1900 would read: As $7 .01, the amount expended on each pupil in Arkan- sas, Is to S1S.6S, the expenditure per pupil in Michigan; so S95, the per capita production in Arkan- sas, Is to S208, the per capita pro- duction in Michigan. According to these figures an average family of five in Arkansas in 1900 had S475 to live upon, while family of five in Michigan had 1,045, Ill i California S1 ,920, and in the Unf- ted States at large S1, 190. Trues Michigan expended on education S6, 539, 154 against only S1 ,369, ,6lg in Arkansas, yet every citizen of Michigan on an average produced SIS more that year than the Ark ansan. If Arkansas should ln- crease her school term to that Of Michigan, with her present popu- lation, she would add S169, ,500, ,000 to her annual output, and yet some people grumble about in- creasing school taxes.
