WOULD TEACH ART OF FARMING.
Secretary Greene Wants 1t Made Part
of Public School Curriculum.

Des MONIES, Dec. 25.-Secretary
Wesley Greene of the Iowa Horticul
tural society wants every farm to be
a training school in the art of farm
ing, and he recommends that the art
OF practical farming be taught in the
public schools. To this end he wants
every school house to have a certain
amount OF land, which shall be cult
waited each year and the scholars
taught the art of farming in a man
ner which will show them the prac'
teal side of agriculture. He would
have male teacher and provide a
dwelling on the land, the crop OF the
land to so to the teacher. In this man
ner, Secretary Greene believes, the in
terest of the teacher and pupils would
be equal and the result would be bene-
fetal to the youth OF the state. This
would prepare the student for the
state agricultural college and make it
much more popular than it is at pres
ent. He thinks the crops raised would
go a long way toward paying the
teacher.

Autoists Win LEGAL Point.

the Polk county district court that
will be of interest to automobile own.
ers all over the state has just been
made. Several auto owners were ar
rested and fined in police court here
for not having red lights on the rear
end of their cars. They appealed and
the district court holds the lower court
erred. The law reads that the auto
shall have a white light in front and a
red light on the reverse side. The
district court interpreted this to
mean lLat the red light should be on
the reverse side of the front white
light and not on the reverse side of
the automobile.
