1--WE are introducing agriculture in
the public schools of Erie county sue
cessfully. For the past three years at
our annual teachers institute we have
given regular instruction to Our teach
ers in nature and agricultural studies.
Many of our primary teachers make
collection of seeds and keep such col
lection in their school rooms. Our
grammar school teachers take up this
work and carry it still further. While
in a number of Our high schools we
do. special work in agriculture, some
of them using text while one of
them, namely, Waterford, has a spec
ial agriculture professor
We emphasize as a foundation for
our agricultural studies dairy instruc-
ton through the primary and gram
mar schools such as the animal life
and plant life that are all about us and
in the high school we emphasize the
study of physical geography, geol-
ogy, botany and zoology because
these, in our opinion, form a good
foundation for agricultural learning.
Besides this we frequently ask some
of our leading farmers to address the
high school students of our different
schools on lines of agriculture Often
our high school rooms are made the
meeting place for farmers institutes
and like gatherings Prof Sam'l B.

much and soon find himself on "easy
street" Land is still cheap and album
dant for all who come. The best all
round manhood in America awaits
your coming with glad welcome"
The following from the Michigan
Farmer gives brief account of the
progress of agricultural education in
Michigan:
Agricultural Courses in Country
Schools.
In the last issue we commented
briefly upon the move for the estab-
fishing of a county school of agricu1-
ture in Menominee county, Michigan,
after the plan of the. school in Dunn
county, Wisconsin, which was re-
ferred to in the committee report as
published. From an interview given
by member of that committee and
from other sources we learn that two
courses are offered in the Dunn Coun-
ty school, a long-term course consist
ing of two years, and a short-term
course Of one year No tuition fees
are required from boys or girls re-
siding within the county, but outsid.
ers are charged a fee of $40 year.
The school is conducted by a princi-
pal and two assistants, a gentleman
and lady who have charge of the
manual training and domestic science
departments, respectively. In these
departments the work is practically
confined to the making of articles
needed on the farm apd in the home
The teachers are employed by the
year and during the four months of
school vacation they hold Institutes
at convenient points throughout the
county, rs such institutes being held
in the county last year. The boys
course, in addition to thorough, prac-
tical instruction in farming, stock
breeding and dairying, affords,
through the manual training depart
ment, practical instruction in farm
machinery, b1acksmithing, etc., as we'll
as in the planning of farm buildings,
modern methods of construction, etc.
In the girls course instruction is Civ
Ell in proper methods of housekeep-
ing, the food value of different arti-
cles of diet and the best methods of
preparing them Also a practical
course in dressmaking and millinery
and instruction in vegetable and
flower gardening. Aside from this
practical instruction they are given
a course in business arithmetic and
English literature The attendance
at this school last year was about
6o-4o boys and 20 girls.
The experiment planned by the
enterprising Upper Peninsula farmers
who have interested themselves in
this movement for the establishing
Of county school of agriculture in
Menominee county will be watched
with interest by the farmers of the
state. They are to be congratulated
uoon their enterprise in inaugurating
a scheme which may make element
airy instruction in agriculture practic-
able in the rural schools and thus
promote a graduated system of agri-
cultural education commencing in the
primary school and ending in the
agricultural college, which shall be

Having lived over thirty years in
Missouri feel fully competent to pass
on Georgia's wonderful possibilities.
She is great now; has always been
great; but how vast shall be her great
ness and her glory when once she be-
comes what she may in the future.
"The red old hills of Georgia" have
in them and over them and running
through every element necessary to
the making of an empire. Her soil
varied and naturally fertile, her eli
mate better than the CALIFORNIA;; her
waterways where the kind God want
ed them to be; old ocean a helpful
companion by her side; her geogra-
phical position the best of all; her
forests vast store of yealth; her
wonderful coal fields, so alluring to
the New England manufacturer; her
network of railways; her splendid
seats of learning, and, above all, her
AngloSaxon yeomanry-these are the
factors of Georgia's coming greatness
The best minds of the state are
realizing all this and are laying the
foundations deep and we'll for the
attainment of their foundest hopes
and expectations Hence the wisdom
Of this splendid appropriation Others
will follow and millions in few years
will be added to make the Agriculture
al Department Of the University of
Georgia the best in all the land
Nor is this ALL The same Legisla-
ture has established an agricultural
academy and industrial college in each

The appropriations were very liberal.
In selecting the sites the county bid
ding showed the splendid sentiment
for such schools. Fully one-half mil
lion dollars and three thousand acres
of land were given to get the schools.
The rivalry was healthy They all
start off in 1907 along with the Uni
versity Department and correlated
with it to work out the desires of the
people Of the state. They have given
their money, their time, their inhu-
ence and their energies. They are
Astounding in hopes and radiant with

admiration of the whole country. The

souri,, capabilities. Such men are not
readily found. But the board is COM
posed of capable men and will get
their man in time Heads of the dis
trict schools call for men equally
strong in practical ability. Very
much depends on right selections.
Will say to my many friends in Mi
souri, that after two years here, I am
much pleased with Georgia. I am
firmly convinced that she is the best
southern state. I only wish I could
influence Missourians to come here
instead of going to the cold north
west. Here we have every advantage
over those cold countries and more

The Decay Of Citrus Fruits and the
Causes.

matter to growers everywhere But
it had become so great in the case of
California oranges, that last year the
Department of Agriculture sent a
specialist to that state to study the
situation and try to discover the cause
and the remedy. Some months ago,
we gave a partial report that had been
made. We find, in the last Rural Cali
fornian, a reprint of the full report,
which we copy, and also an editorial
on the subject, which is as follows:
The loss to California citrus fruit
growers from decay is estimated by
Mr.. J. H. Reid, of Riverside, to be
from one-half to one million dollars a
year. Mr.. Reid is careful student
and conservative, and well Informed
upon the subjects he discusses. His
estimates therefore, must be taken as
being in the main correct. So serious
had become the loss by decay, that the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture was appealed to for assistance,
and G. Harold Powell, of the bureau
of plant industry, was sent to Califor
MIA and began his investigations a
year ago last January, of the causes
of decay in oranges in shipment in
1906. His report is now before us. 1t
bears every evidence of careful, pains
taking intelligent work, and will I'M
doubtedly prove Of great value to the
citrus fruit industry.
We shall not attempt at this writing,
to review all of Mr. Powell's cOnclu-
sions, but shall cOnfine ourselves to
three points. He shows that only one
per cent of fruit which does not have
to be washed or brushed decays; that
fruit which has to be brushed, four
per cent. decays; and that which has to
be washed. twelve per cent. decays.
These are indeed significant figures,
and worthy Of the thoughtful con-
sideration of growers. And this leads
to the question, which is naturally of
the most vital interest to the citrus
fruit industry, by what method or
methods shall scale pests be kept in
subsection in order to Obviate the nee
essity of brushing or washing the
fruit? That it pays to grow clean fruit
is shown 10y the percentages Of decay
which Mr.. Powell gives But these
percentages do not cover all of the
losses to the grower. A greater loss
still will be found in the low prices
which brushed and washed fruits
bring in the market
The Rural Californian, as it's readers
well know, has times without number
pointed out the only method by which
orchards can be kept clear of insect
pests The distillate spray process had
it's advantages, led by such men as
Prof. Cook, who, as conductor Of farm
ers' Institutes, eXerted an influence
over ranchers out of all proportions to
the knowledge he possessed of the
ultimate ruinous effects Of such a pro
cess. No word had the advocates of
the spray pump to say against fumi-
cation except that the work had to be
done at night, and that it was too
expensive a method. The word
'cheapness'' caught many inexperienc-
ed growers. And what a fallacy it

In connection with the above, an
article from Coleman's Rural World,
showing what is being done by our
nearest neighbor, the State of Geor-
gia, will be of considerable interest:
'In the southern educational field
to-day the most notable movement
for agriculture is in Georgia. The
whole state is on the tip-toe of ex-
pectancy and if present plans ripen
to full maturity this state will not
only be the empire state of the south
but will run winning race for nation
al honors.
The last Legislature voted one hun
dred thousand dollars to erect agricul-
tural buildings and equip them and
the farm with the most approved ap-
pliances This is in addition to the
regular appropriation For several
years Mr.. Geo. Foster Peabody of
New York has shown a deep interest
in the University of Georgia and es-
pecially in the Agricultural Depart
ment He has been instrumental in
securing several hundred acres of
land, besides making several gifts of
money, in all about $4,000. The
University now has in round numbers
900 acres Of land in one body and
extending from the campus in the
very heart of Athens over two miles
down the Oconee river The land is

Has Cancer, Cuts Off Tongue.

Springfield, Ohio,-John Gerron, pro-
prietor of the Dallas grain elevators at
fremont City, who has been grea-
sufferer from cancer OF the tongue lor
the past two years. deliberately cut oul
the organ in the hope of securing re-
lief.
After spending a great sum OF money
in search for a cure and finding no re-
lief, he solicited his medical attendants
to cut out the portion of the diseased
member, but was denied. He ehtfeal
ed his friends to perform the act. and.
of course met with refusal. Then
he sought relief from his OWN hands.
BY means OF a pair OF surgeons
