EDUCATING THE FARMER.

making farming In Kentucky at
once interesting and profitable. TO
keep the young men here. to IN
crease the wealth of the state aid
maintain the equilibrium between
country and urban pepuistion.
In the reckless haphazard fashion
OF American farming, Inherited from
forefsthers who had the who.e con-
tinent behind them, the tendency IS
10 farm as many acres as possible
until the land becomes poor and
then go west on cheap land and r.
peat the process. Presently tie
cheap land of the west will be ex-
hausted. The irrigated land IS ex-
pensiye. and America is to be face to
face with the problem OF food be-

The population is increasing at a
remarkable rate, and the decline Of
farming, occasioned by the unprofit-
abloness of our reckless system. Is
accentuating the excessive growth of
inc eiis population While we have
more mouths TO fed the number of
people engaged in producing food

Big Fuunctions are Few.

There were two large evening
levees, when practically the whole OF
Washington's official and social
world was entertained. About three
formal and pretentious banquets
were given by the British ambassa-
dor during the winter. Some eight
or ten small dinners. mere family af-
fairs, complete the sum total of the
Bryce entertainments during the last
winter.
But little more can be placed to
the credit of the French ambassador
and Nine. Juserand, second on the
list OF big salaries. NJ. Jusserand

Washington, Aug. 4.-While for
eign governments are insisting that
the American representatives at their
courts be millionaires. so that they
can hold up their end socially, investi-
cation reveals that the foreign dlplo-
mats here are making regulations
that "tightwad" might envy.
Secretary Root is credited with be-
ing about to turn this situation to
good account Mr.. Root resents the
position of the foreign governments
in requiring money qualification of an
American ambassador. This country
never asks about the income of the
men sent here. This same courtesy
is 10 be demanded for the American
ENJOYS. Millionaires who get appoint

they like. but the Secretary OF. State
wants all American officials to know

the diplomats stationed in Washing
ton proves.
Knowing people at the national
capital are watching with keen in

diplomats abroad to have their sal
aries doubled, tripled OF quadrupled
James Bryce Gets 100000.
OF course what ambassadors and
ministers spend here on private en-
terprises for their governments can
not be reckoned. But their enter
tainments and general mode of liv-
ing are an open page. The man who
draws the biggest salary in Washing
ton is James Bryce, who gets $780,
600 annually and an additional $10,-
600 a year for contingent expenses.
Mr. Bryce has one of the finest man
sions which the capital can boast,
completely furnished. with an extra
fund to pay for any necessary re-
pairs or new equipment. He has
linen. silver and glass at the expense
OF the British exchequer, and even
the liveries of his retalners come
from the public fund.
Yet with this vast sum at their
disposal. few people live more unpre-
tentiously than the British ambassador
and Mrs. Bryce. Their social record
during the last winter contained few
er events than any of the immediate
predecessors. Mrs. Bryce gave about
SIX small afternoon receptions during
the season, when tea and small con-
fectiOns were served
