INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
President Kerr said among other
things that the requirements OF indus
trial education were becoming more
and more apparent each year The time
OF supplying this want Is approaching,
but until the Industrial classes are
awakened to their rights and demand
them. no immediate Improvement can
be expected, The farmers comprise
about IS per cent OF the total popula-
tion, but outside of few institutions
In this state. there Is no opportunity
for them TO secure an education which

problems encountered in their life
work Such n condition should not ex-
ist and IL ia time for the farmer to-
look we'll into this subject. The
daughters should be educated in such
lines as will make of them better moth

for the development OF fruits.
In most OF the old orchards the
sun shine Is excluded from a large
part OF the tree thus causing under
development IN all parts OF the tree
A large part of the pruning has beer
done in a haphazard way resultins
In many decayed limbs and even tree
trunks. The limbs should be Gu
squarely of close to the limb from
which II Is cut Another fault Is IN
sufficient room for both the tops ant
roots caused by too close planting. APP
pie trees at the age of 20 years SHOULD
be 80 to 40 feet apart. Many OF th'
apple trees look more like Lombard!
