The most successful farming in our

transports long distances at low rates
nor would be play tle part he does in
the WORLDS markets with poorer soils
and less genial climates.
Agricultural Education.
a vigorous movement by Federal ana
State agencies is i'm progress To educate
the young people of the farm and to
make research into the wide field Of
science that pertains 10 producing the
nations food, clothing and other ncces-
sites. Discussion has been active for
generation or more regarding the prepa-
ration OF the farmer for his life work
nothing beyond "a common-scho0I edu-
cation. Many legislators think that
money devoted 30 training farm people

voted lands and money TO educate the

lines. and when introduced into any
part of cur country the rest of il is in
danger. Our annual loss from this
source is very great. Just now two in
sccts-the gypsy moth and the brown
tail moth-are spreading over New Eng
land; and If not checked they will iufest
the whole country. They attack the
trees on lawn. street. and forest The
most effective weapon against an insect
is It's parasite. We have introduced
many thousands of the parasites of the
insects mentioned, and they are doing
thcir work. Our chief entOmologist is
now ON his way 10 the Crimea Tor more
nests OF the parasites. When we are
visited by an insect pest the first move
Is 10 ascertain where IL came from, and
then we bring in also its parasite enemy.
