FARMERS ARE LEARNING.
Expert Points Out Great Strides In
Agricultural Schools.

Agricultural Schools.
Washington. D. C. Especially -
Never in the history of the world has
there been such progress made in
agricultural education as in the Unit
ed States during the last 1 years.
This is the conclusion of Dick j.
Crosby, specialist in agricultural edu-
cation, of the Department of Agricul-
ture, in a report Just issued. During
the last year, Mr.. Crosby points out,
there has been rapid and healthy
growth in all phases of agricultural
education, the year being noteworthy
for the attention given to providing
facilities for graduate study in agrt
culture, to reorganizing and strength
ening college courses, and to multi
plying opportunities for acquiring
secondary and elementary instruction
in this subject.
The growing activity in all phases
of agricultural education in this
country, declares Mr.. Crosby, has
been faithfully reflected in the larger
demands made upon the Department
OF Agriculture for information upon
every phase of agriculture.

Washington. D. O. (Special) -
The attempt Of the Sultan of Moroc-
co to obtain foreign Intervention In
the conflict between his country and
Spain was detailed in dispatch
just made public from United States
Minister Dodge at Tangier, to the
State Department. In a note adj
dressed to the diplomatic corps the
Sultan. through his representative,
expressed his alarm at the large
Spanish force in the Riff territory,
saying that the report had arisen that
the Spanish governments object was
not limited to the punishment of
those who killed certain mine labor
ers.
The Sultan maintained that Spain
had no right to administer punish
ment and requested the diplomatic
corps to inform their governments
that they may invite the attention
OF the Spanish government in a
friendly manner to the danger in
CURED by its, action. Mr.. Dodge add
ed that the French Minister to Mo-
rocco, who is dean of the diplomatic
corps, was about to address q cir
cular note to the corps, saying that
the French government did not con-
slider this a case in which 1t could
take action.
Attention is called to the stipula-
ton in the Algeciras convention by
which the American representatives
at the conference disavowed on the
part of the United States, any in
terest in Morocco other than to Sc
cure for all peoples the widest equal
ity of trade and privilege in that
country and declared that the Uni
ted States would assume no respon-
sibility for the enforcement of the
agreement.
It is not thought, therefore, that
the United States will take any part
in the adjustment of this latest diff
ference between the Sultan and the
Spanish government.
