WHAT ABOUT A COUNTY SCHOOL
OF AGRICULTURE?

At next week s annual meeting of
the county board of Grant county,
which will hold its first session on
Monday evening, one of the matters
that will come before the board for
consideration will be whether or not
70 favor the establishing in this
county of County School of Agri-
culture and Domestic EconUmy.
At the last session of the WIscon-
sin legislature, certain sections of
the law pertaining to the establish
ment of such schools, known as
Chapter 313 of Laws of 1909, was
amended to provide that county boards
are authorized to appropriate money
for the organization, equipment and
maintenance of a county school of
agriculture and domestic economy,
and when sIch a school is established,
located and properly listed as COM
plying with the requirements or the
law, it shall be entitled to state aid
so long as the scope and character of
its work are maintained in such
manner as to meet the approval of the
state superintendent. The number
of such schools to be established is
limited to ten in the state.
A year ago last winter, while the
farmers institute was in session in
Lancaster, Judge E. b. G1odseIl, of
this city. delivered an address 10
which he called attention to the i'm
portanco ana Significance of what an
agricultural schoul should mean to
this section of the country.
Tne Herald published the Judge
address at the time. in which he said /:
81 believe it to be one of the most
important legislative enactments of
ret en- ,ears-oue that is destined to
assist the farmer to a solution of
many of the difficult problems con-
fronting him, and be of vast economic
advantage to him -
We do not know whas attitude the
board may take upon the question,
and realize that the heavy increase of
state taxes this year may have BEAR
ing upon the matter, hut most coun-
ties IN the state sre in the same
position as ours as to such increase
and the requirement for economical
administration, but where such
schools are low in operation in the
state they seem to be looked upon as
very valuable institutions to the
community. and the subject is one
at least worthy of most careful and
earnest consideration.

Now York. Feb l9.-A bill prohibit
ing all foreigners from holding any
property in Cuba was today introduc-
ed IN the house at Havana Property
of Americans, English Spaniards,
Germans and French amounting to
nearly two hillion dollars would be
affected by the passage of such a
measure.
The government officials at Wash

thar a bill had been introduced in the
Cuban house of representatives pro-
hibiting foreigners from holding pro-
perty on the island, but say its enact
ment into law would be the most un-
fortunate thing that could happen for
the future prosperity of that country
The proposition is sure to meet with
strong diplomatic objections from all
countries whose citizens have inter
ests in Cuba.
