we are in receipt of a letter from
W. j. Elliot, principal of the schoo,
OF Agriculture at Bozeman. Montana.
wherein he states the following:
Some time ago we sent ont notices
regarding a school of Agriculture
Course, that was being develoyed at
the Agricultural College at Bozeman.
Ihls course was deemed advisable
because the College has been getting
a great many inquiries asking for
young men, trained in agriculture,
to take charge of large farming prop
osltlons, and also young men who
are going to manage their own
farms are asking for some such prac-
t1cal course as will be given.
ION account of lack of room we
will only be able to accept one hum
bred new students in this course and
as over half that number have regis
tered already, it will be necessary for
those who contemplate taking this
practical agricultural course. to ap-
ply very soon. AS it is a State Insti-
tuition, the educrtion is practically
free. with the exception of a small
tuition fee together with some minor
laboratory fees. The entire course
Will not cost to exceed $4,000 for a
boy who is careful.
The work will cover practical stock
Judging and feeding, the handling of
grain crops, the making of butter and
cheese and the handling of orchards.
The work is made just as practical as
pOssible.'

A COMMENDABLE MOVEMENT
BY RECLAMATION SERVICE
TOUCHES A VITAL POINT IN THE PRESENT SYSTEM OF
EDUCATION AND MAY Be THE MEANS OF ESTAB.
LEHINC EXPERIMENT FARMS NEAR SCHOOLS

An interesting educational move
ment has been placed on foot on the
Huntley Irrigation Project, which
will tend to strengthen the rural
school system, not only of that COM
munity but eventually of the entire
county as we'll.
The one hundred and fifty or more
pupils of the Huntley Project schools
are enthusiastically preparing to hold
a school fair on September 2nd OF
this year, and many small garde ms
and plots which they call "school gar
dens'' are being weeded, hoed, irri-
gated and anxiously watched by
them from day to day. A number OF
the girls are practicing cake, bread
and biscuit baking SO as to be prof1c-
lent before the day of the school fair,
when they will make the supreme ef-
fort and turn in their master pieces
for exhibition. Much needle work IS
also being done and it is not alto
gether in the line of fancy work, as
premiums are offered on such prac-
tical exhibits as hemstitched towels,
pillow cases, darning and making
buttonholes. The boys who are deft
with plane, saw, and chisel are MAX
ing articles of furniture such as book
cases, chairs, and repair pieces for
farm tools, implements, etc.
Nor are fowera neglected, and pre-
miums are offered for display OF an
nual flowers grown by pupils. And
by the way, one condition which gov
erns all awards is that the article ex-
hibited must be the product of the
pupils own unassisted efforts.
On the stated day the results of the
seasons labor and ATTENTION will be
brought to Huntly and properly dis
played in suitable hall. Cash prem
iums of moderate size are offered as
encouragement and lively competi-
tion is anticipated. The people of
the district and State will be invited
to attend and witness the skill of the
bright farm boys ana girls attending

tention of rural committees in this
State to this movement. The first at
tempts should be local exhibits which
in time may grow into county exhib-
it's, these to be followed later on by
competition at the State Fair.
At the Minnesota State Fair the
school children's exhibit is the best
visited section. The legislature of
that state last year appropriated
fourteen thousand dollars for prem
iums to encourage this work. The
Huntley School Fair exhibit will be
taken to the State Fair this year, and
will no doubt attract attention there.

the Huntley Project schools.
The youngsters are wide awake to
the possibilities of this new institu-
tion and the school gardens show ev.
erything from radishes to water mel
ons, and from sugar corn to zinnias
Work of this character has dis
tinct educational value and this fact
is being recognized more from day to
day. 1t is slowly becoming part of
the educational system in number
of States and by several is being sup
ported by liberal appropriations.
Scholarships of pupils is improved
and ambition stimulated. During
the Fair the children of the entire
community mingle together in social
intercourse and enlarge the circle of
their acquaintance far beyond the
bounds of their local school district
They learn to judge quality of farm
and garden products and acquire a
keen appreciation of matters per-
tanning to the farm home.
The Huntly Irrigation Project of
the U. S. Reclamation Service is de-
veloping amazingly along education
al, social and agricultural lines and
is the first community in the State to
start the movement to broaden it's
schools.
For community only 20 months
months, Huntly is remarkably we'll
organized. They have Farmers
Club there, which looks after every
phase of farm life and farm business,
and assists in the development of ev-
erything which might be helpful to
the farmers on the project. A COM
mittee of three ladies has charge of
school affairs. They assist the coun-

WHAT A$10BlLL DID EAST Is SUFFERING

While much Of the semi-arid west
is well supplied, if not in some in
stances actually suffering from too
much moisture, the great lake region
of northern Minnesota and northern
Michigan and Wisconsin is suffering
from prolonged and discouraging
drouth. In parts of one large
county which boasts thousand
lakes, and some of the most beauti-
full and extensive forests on earth,
crops are burning up, wells have gone
dry, and fears are entertained that
forest fires will soon menace the
homes of large number of settlers.
OF course no sane and sansible man
believes that these conditions will
long continue not that, as some SEN
sational reporters would have us be-
lieve, the great government irriga-
tion schemes are just so much money
thrown away, and similar nonsense.
But all this goes to show that the in
tluence of lakes and forests on rain
fall, may have been slightly overesti-
mated; and that planting a few trees
along the road, or creating few ar
tificial ponds will not materially af-
feet the climate, nor insure ample
rainfall forever after.-Dakota Far

Mr.. Brown keeps boarding house.
Around the table sit his wife, Mrs.
Brown; the village milliner, Mrs.
Andrews; Mr.. Black, the boarder;
Mr.. Jordan, the carpenter; Mr.. Han
lev, the seed and lumber merchant.
Mr.. Brown took $40 out of his
pocketbook and handed it to Mrs.
Brown with the remark that there
was $40 toward the 500 he had prom
ised her. Mrs. Brown handed the
bill to Mrs. Andrews, the milliner,
saying, "that pays for my new bon
net." Mrs. Andrews in turn gave
it to Mr.. Jordan, remarking that it
would pay for the carpenter work he
had done for her. Mr.. Jordan hand
ed it to Mr.. Hanley, requesting his
receipted bill for lumber. Mr.. Han
ley gave it back to Mr.. Brown say
ing: "That pays $40 on my board"
Mr.. Brown passed it to Mrs. Brown,
saying he had now paid her the 500
he had promised her. She in turn
paid Mr.. Black to settle her pastry
and bread account. Mr.. Black hand
ed it to MIR. Hanley, asking for the
amount of his flour bill. Mr.. Hanley
again remarked that it settled for
that months board, whereupon Mr..
Brown put it in his pocket, remark
ing that he hadn't supposed a green

But suppose Mrs. Brown had sent it
to mali order house for a new bon

out and never come back.

Employment Of Old Men.

The problem OF finding employment
for old men is the particular aspect
of the labor problem now to the front.
The commonest solution seems to be
to discover a sufficient number Of
easy Jobs" and then to ask Why
these posts are not filled with men OF
advanced years.
Any thoroughgoing philosophy Of
the matter will have to go deeper.
Misfortune, illness, or incompetence
is generally implied when the elderly
man Is out of work. No very general
cure for the first two causes, and no
cure at all for the last is to be ex.
pected. The ~interlocking system Of
great industrial concerns is particular
" unfavorable to the chances Of the
old. Such enterprises enlist the
young. and for their own efficiency
are forced to employ a system Of pro-
motion from the ranks.
The STANDARD rate" Of the unions
also is calculated to intensity the un.
employment Of the elderly. When the
employer has to pay a standard wage.
he must often discharge. or pension,
an old employe still capable Of work.
but not Of earning the standard wage.
Some unions are said to blink At IN
fraction Of their rules here. and allow
an old member to work as a helper
at less than full wages.
