THE PROBLEM IN UTAH.

MIR. Wayne B. Wheeler, national at
torney for the Anti Saloon league, de-
Slivered very instructive address. in
the Tabernacle, on Sunday, to a large
audience. He spoke of the progress OF
the prohibition cause throughout the
country, and refuted, with facts and fig
ures, tho common arguments OF the
saloon advocates.
The speaker was very proud of the
record of his own state, Ohio. He
showed a map OF the state with only a
few black spots on. Those represented
counties licensing saloons. We have.
he said, already sixty-two of the eighty
Scountiesgdry But we are going to con-
I tinue the fight until every black spot is
wiped out. +
IT was, a good prohibition lecture, but
the problem in Utah is not quite the
same as in other states Here a niajori-
,ty of the people believe in prohibition
and have demanded prohibitive legisla-
ton From rs to 90 per cent Of the
people have petitioned for anti-saloon
legislation But they were told that
they did not know what was good for
the State; that they, in fact, did not
know their own minds, and that they
could not get the legislation asked for.
The problem here is to make the
saloon interests and their champions
yield to the will Of the majority.
That Is the question the voters must
answer at the proper place and time.

CHILDREN LEARN AGRICULTURE

III The belief honestly held by many
principals and superintendents OF
schools, that agriculture is too difficult
a subject for children to learn in ele-
mentary or grade schools, must be
greatly shattered by those who hear of
the success Of an Illinois teacher in
giving these lessons.
The following original sentences
from a pupil Of Miss Coffey in the
Macomb school, seem to demonstrate
that the fundamental principles of
agricultural science are not beyond the
ability of the average child In the
grammar grades.
"A great deal can be written about
the food of the plant and the form
which it must talsesolution--in order
to be assimilated by the plant roots;
but what better brief exposition can be
found than this answer from a pupil?
Plant food must be In a LIQUID con
dition before 1t can be absorbed BY tho

y ment from Indissolved plant food by

This is an excellent summary, and
that which follows could hardly be i'm
proved upon in the same number of
Nvords-a yeritable muitum in parvo of
/ agricultural wisdom:

soil, one remedy for this would be to
deeply srir the sod and expose 1t to the
e air Oxidation makes soil more fertile
by making unavailable foods available
;totation OF crops also remedies this.
Another way in which the fertility of
the soil is wasted is by erosion, such as
washing away by rains and streams
and shifting by winds. This can X.
