Education and Wealth Getting

The world today is treated to the re-
markable spectacle of the richest men
on earth in material wealth. Rookie
feller and Carnegie, for instance, who
have only such education as they could
get in the common ordinary school,
and they do not seem to feel the loss,
on the contrary, they dictate courses
and cirricula to colleges and univers-
ties which they have taken under their
control and are themselves the stand
ards on which the intellectually OF
such institutions is based. No wonder,
then, that the really qualified educa-
tors should be overcome with humili-
at,on and despair at the prospect.
IL men can get TO the summit OF the
social world in America by means OF
their extraordinary material wealth
and without education, what is the
use of such educational institutions
save for those who want to know
things?

The Sin of Waste

The State Board of Agriculture this
week sent out circular asking the |
farmers to take the trouble to select
their best corn for premium exhibit |
bition at the National Corn Congress
at Omaha in December, and suggests
that the process of selection of this
corn be done through the fall county
fairs
The Oklahoma farmer is really being
given plenty of advice and consider
able assistance from his city brother
to rise to the occasion of fully pro-
tecting himself
While the farmer is waiting for the
great day when he will store his great
crops in great warehouses, as he
dreams. and control his own prices, he
can at least prepare to keep his own
crops better, and not throw them on
the market haphazard as he does now.
One of the worst enemies to the Okla
homa farmer is the open season the
year around the fact that he has no
rock-bound summer and winter. Sup
pose he had but five months growing
and harvest season, es in the northern
states, and seven months of indoors,
shut in by the rigours OF winter, in
which to live of his summers toll?
How much of his products would he
have to store away--how much that he
buys now from the stores in shape OF
food in winter would he have to con-
vert himself from his raw material?
The difficulty with the farmer in
Oklahoma, again, is that he sells every
thing he raises raw on the market, i'm
mediately he raises it, and then he
joins the city man in buying at the
stores everything he eats. Virtually
later on. buys his own products back.
With proper cellars, grainaries and
barns. the farmer should be able to
keep all his grains, vegetables and
ffuits until the next ones come ,as they
do in older communities, in more rig
orous climates, where they don't raise
so much but make it go further. Az

and vegetables-who ever dreamt II
