Scientific agriculture is young. I,
has had to wait until machinery prepar-
ed the way. by giving the farmers time
and money to spend. The first scientist
who took notice of farming was the
Frenchman Lavoisier. He found on, the
composition of water. in l7S3. and was
in the midst of many discoveries. when
Paris mob hustled him TO the guillo-
tine. The famous Liebig next ap-
peared and founded the first agricul-
tural experiment station. Then came
Berthelot, the father of synthetic
chemistry. with his sensational an
nouncement. THE soil is alive.
Today the new farmer fnds himself
touched by science on all sides. He
knows that there are more living things
in one pinch of rich soil than there are
people on the whole globe He knows
that he can take half-dozen handsful
of earth from different parts of his
farm. mix them together. send one
thimbleful to chemist. and find out
exactly the kind of crop that will give
him the best harvest And more, now
that science has given him a peep into
natures factory. he can even feel a
sense of kinship between himself and
his acres, because he knows that the
same elements that redden his blced
are painting the green hues on his fields
and forests.
There are now IS. new farmers
who have graduated from the agricul-
tural colleges: and since the late Prof.
W. o. Atwater opened the first Ameri-
can experiment station in 1875. 50
Others have sprung up into vigorous
life. There is also at Washington an
agricultural department. which has
become the greatest aggregation of
farm-scienists IN the world. To MAIN
tain this department Uncle Sam pays
gsudgingly $li, ,ooo. 900 = yeaf. He pays
mech moro than this TO give food and
1eankets to horde ef lazy Indians, or
for TIE haiiding Of two q three war
ships. But It i Il ieset more than u
