WILSON TALKS OF FARMERS.
Secretary Exploits Results of Agri
cultural Education.

Secretary Exploits Results of Agri-
cultural Education.
Speeches by President Roosevelt and
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson were
among the features of the celebration
at Lansing, Mich, of the fiftieth ami
versary of the Michigan Agricultural
college.
Preceding the introduction of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Secretary Wilson deliv-
cred an address in which he summar-
ICED the results of the work of his de
partment and pointed out the improve
ments that have been effected in agri-
cultural pursuits. He said:
1t has been said that the United States
did three unique things in theA last CEN
fury. 1t built at Washington the capt.
toll, the Washington monument and the
congressional library, each the finest of
its kind in the world. A much greater
work was the laying of the foundation
of agricultural education and research to
prepare the farmer for his life work, es-
tablish agricultural literature, and lift the
tiller of the soil to the highest level of
efficiency as a producer and a citizen.
No country on earth has such a compre-
hensive system to bring about these re-
suits. The brightest farm boys and girls
are being educated for the farm.
Including the population of our island
possessions, half of the people under our
flag are producers from the soil. This
half owe it to the other to prepare them
selves for discharging the duties Of citi-
zenship with the highest Intelligence.
They have leisure and more facilities for
reading and reflection than the other half
of the people.
Rural free delivery Of mails, the tele-
phone, the daily and farm papers, maya
zines and other sources of information,
combine to form powerful adjuncts in the
education of the farmer and his family.
They are not organized as a class, and
are not likely to be, but they are the ma
tons jury when questions of public pol
icy are to be settled.

TELLS RAIL POLICY.
PREs.DEET ROOSEVELT IS FOR
FAIR PLAY.
In Indianapolis Speech He Gives
Warming to Persons of Wealth
and ,,utions People Against DEM
agoEaes-Publicity as Remedy.

President Roosevelt spoke frankly,
earnestly and vigorously on the rail-
road situation at the unwilling Of the
Lawton statue at Indianapolis on Me-
mortal Day. He demanded:
First-Entire federal control Of all
railroads, whether engaged in interstate
or in local commerce.
Second-That the federal government
shall control the amount of capital in
vested in a road and the issuance of
stocks and bonds.
Third-That railroad lawyers keep out
of politics and that they register as lob
byists when they appear before Legisla
lures.
Fourth-That railroads shah be pre-
vented from doing anything else than a
transportation business.
Fifth-That criminal prosecution be in
stituted against any man who plumbers
others by issuing great masses of securi-
ties and sells them for fraudulent or
selfish interest instead of applying the
money so acquired to the legitimate use
of the road on whose property the securi-
ties were issued.
Sixth-That the honest railroad man.
standard of efficiency in his road and seek
an honest and legitimate return on the
money invested. be protected.
Seyenth-That railroads be allowed to
acquire connecting lines, but forbidden
to combine with parallel lines.
Eighth-That there be public traffic
agreements in the interest of the people,
subject to the approval of the interstate
commerce commission.
N;nth-That there be physical valua-
ton of railroad properties, such valua-
tons not to be retroactive, and present
securities to be tested by the laws under
which they were issued.
''There can be no swerving from the
course that has been mapped out in the
legislation actually enacted and in the
messages in which 1 have asked for
further legislation" said the President.
''We best serve the interests of the
honest railway men when we announce
that we will follow out precisely this
course. 1t is the course of real, of ul-
innate conservatism. There will be no
halt in the forward movement toward
a full development of this policy; and
those who wish US to take step back
ward or to stand still, if their wishes
were realized, would find that they had
invited an outbreak of the very radical
ism they fear. There must be progress
i've legislative and administrative ac-
ton for the correction of the evils
which every sincere man must admit
to have existed in railroad management
in the past"

working Out Weeds.

Weeds are expensive, because they
not only rob the growing crops of plant
food, but also deprive them of mois-
ture. The rapid-growing weeds crowd
the other plants and deprive them Of
warmth, light and all other essentials
to growth One advantage IN the
usurpation of the land by weeds is that
they provide excellent green manurial
crops, but the farmer can better afford
to grow something else as green mate
go to seed. The vast amount Of labor
bestowed upon weeds every year may
be valued at many millions of dollars,
and yet much of this labor could be
avoided II the weeds were killed when
young. 1t Is the postponement of weed
killing that allows many of them to
produce seeds, as their rapid growth
often gives them occupancy Of the land
before the farmer is aware of the fact,
their eradication then requiring days
instead of hours. A crop of potatoes,
onions, cabbage, beets or any other that
requires clean cultivation with the Gull
tivator, harrow and hoe will greatly
assist In graduating weeds, while green
manurial crops that are plowed under
destroy them. Hungarian grass is a
crop that makes vigorous growth, and
it may be moved several times during
the year, thus rendering excellent serv-
ice in destroying weeds, but in the gar
den the hoe will be found the most eff
ficlent implement that can be employed.

Too many farmers treat their boys
like their steers-give them plenty to
eat and let them go at that
But the boy does not get as good
treatment all around as the steer, be-
cause when the steer is fed all of his
wants are filed. But a boys stomach
Is not the only part Of him, although
1t may often appear to be the largest
part.
The average boy has wide magma
ton. He gets an occasional glimpse of
outside life when he goes to town, or
through the newspaper. If luckily his
father takes one, and his dreams be-
gin to c. ne.
He wants TO know what lies beyond
his narrow life. The scraps of informa-
ton the CLEANS from the paper and the
ghmpsas he gets in the city streets only
feed this imagination. and If he is given
no opportunity TO travel or read or
learn about the world he becomes un-
happy and sour and narrow.
He begins to dislike the farm and
ends BY hating Ii. No. not the farm
itself, but the life he Is compelled to
lead
The average boy is full of animal
life. which cannot be entirely satisfied
with hard work. He Is a bounding.
buoyant. human boy, bubbling over
with the desire to enjoy life. and if this
desire Is not realized he thinks some
thing Is wrong-snd he Is right.
He begins 10 hook about him for an
avenue of escape. He learns where
fun is to be had. 1t may not be whole
some fun. or even decent, but il is the
only kind he can find. and he goes TO
/ Ii like q duck TO water.
/ II the boys home is made the best
place he can find: If he is given books
and magazines; II he IS allowed a
part Of every week for his own recr-
alton; if he is encouraged to go in for
a good time: II he Is allowed TO enjoy
the company OF the boys ana girls of
the nelghborhood; II he is given money
FOR his work 10 spend as he pleases
with no strings on it; on the whole. II
he Is treated as boy, and not like q

WISCONSIN SOLOHS.
TO shit Names Of Candidates.

A I'LL which viii provide for the rota-
tion of the names of candidates for office
on the primary election ballots in order
TO eliminate the advantage to those whose
names would give them S~St place if ar
ranged alphabetically has been prepared
by the Assembly committee on elections.
1t affects only candidates for State and
congressional Offices and legislative offices
where districts embrace more than one
county. or in other words. only those
whose nomination papers are filed with
the Secretary of State. The Nye bill
and Turner amendment. both of which
were killed, affected candidates for coun-
ty and city offices, and it was thought
would compleate the primary election
too greatly. The committee bill leaves IL
to the Secretary of State to determine
the form of ballots for each Assembly
district, changing it for each so that there
will be no alphabetical advantage. The
list of districts arranged according to
population instead Of alphabetically and
the ballots will be so prepared that the
candidate whose name appears on the
top of the column of the ballot for one
county will be al the bottom of the col
umn in the next county on the list, and so
on through the State.

Aims mt the Cigarette Habit.

If a bill passed by the lower house be-
comes law, and there is every indication
that it will, it viii effectively stop cigar
cite smoking by school boys and other
youths in this State. The bill makes it
an offense punishable by fine or impris-
onment in the county Jail for person
under 10 years of age to smoke tobacco in
any form in public or for anyone to allow
such persons to smoke on premises occu-
pied by him. Two years ago the Legisla-
ture passed law prohibiting the sale of
cigarettes or cigarette papers in Wiscon-
sin, but this did not put a stop to the
habit among the boys addicted to it. They
bought the tobacco in their home towns
and sent out of the State for the papers.
