plenty of 1t. but when a man finds
mental satisfaction in his work it
ceases to be drudgery. The farmer OF
the future must use his brains as well
as his back, his head not less than his
hands. The distrust Of the educated
farmer has not entirely passed away.
Perhaps 1t never will. In q way there
is a certain justification for it. The
practical man finds himself sooner, but
the man who thinks his problems out
finds more In the end. In the Farmer
Boys Experiment Corn Clubs that
have become such a prominent feature
in the agricultural education OF the
middle west it Is the boys OF high
scholarship that take the prizes in
growing thoroughbred corn and not a
few thoughtful boys, aided by the SCI
entific instructions of the agricultural
experts, nave beaten their fathers In
the raising of corn.
This is the character of the work
done in the agricultural high school at
Davis. 1t is intended to engage the
whole of the boys possibilities, to give
meaning purpose and inspiration to his
agricultural experience. He is put in
touch with the best agricultural meth
DDS now practiced, but he learns. too.
that there are many problems still un-
solved and that everywhere there Is
room for Improvement.

there Is something wrong with the
science Of agriculture or with the men
who present it, But at Berkeley agri-
cultural education holds its own. If the
science Of home making has no in
terest for a normal girl we might just
as well know it, but it were best to
give that type of education a fair trial
first
For myself, I believe that the tide of
emigration to the city and away from
the farm and the farm home is due in
large part to false ideals of education.
We may not deny the right Of any one
to chose his lot in life. but neither
should we adopt and hold to system
that educates away from that which
means the life and stability of the
nation.
Robbed of its isolation and drudgery.
rural life has very considerable charms
of its own and should attract and hold
certain types of character quite as
strongly as it repels other types. The
telephone and free rural mail delivery
have done much to break down this iso-
lation. Good roads and good type of
rural school will do more-a type of
school that may be the social and civic
center of the community and one whose
purpose is to foster ideals of country
life.

but to teach the best known methods
of handling orchards.
- There is an old vineyard on the farm,
and Professor Bioletti intends to devote
this entirely to the students He says
it is no good as 1t is, but It may be util-
ized in teaching the principles OF horti-
culture. He has planned a series OF
small vineyards that shall include the
leading varieties OF wine. raisin and
table grapes. These will be for the
use OF the students. There will also
be his own private experimental plats
for scientific research. Here no stu
dent may intrude.
Forty acres are set aside for the i'm
provement OF cereals. This work Is al
ready under way. Here are studied all
the different cereals grown In Califor-
MIA. The boys do part OF their labora-
tory work in the field and part OF II IN
the seed room In the seed room they
select, grade and test the different
kinds of seed In the field they prac-
tfce different kinds OF cultivation and
calculate the merits of each system In
the harvest returns There Is also some
scientific breeding OF grains, but that
work is for advanced students
The whole farm Is under a complets
system of irrigation. the water sup
piled by Yolo water company. Thirty
acres have been set aside to test the
comparative merits Of the different
types OF bitches and the different
methods of applying water. In this
work the students must have some
knowledge of mathematics and be able
to apply IL. They work IN groups. the
character OF the work demands this.
They go out into the field with their
instruments and tackle the problem
given them and then each reports on
all the work done and estimates the
value of the method OF work employed
and the type OF ditch used
The pest problem Is dealt with In
every department that involves plant
life. DR.. Clark gives practical and
scfentihc instruction IN handling OF or
chard pests. Professor Broletti does
not neglect to train his students in the
most efficient methods OF warfare
against the enemies OF the vineyard.

In addition to this there is a general
course In entomology. In which all the

There are many more acres IN this

typical methods. In ways such as these

mate in California demand a high
class agricultural population if its pos
sibilities are to be realized. The
farmer in California should have a
fundamental knowledge of agriculture,
a special and detailed knowledge of his
own interests, and a breadth of vision
that Will enable him to realize that in
California, at least individuality and
isolation must give place to community
effort and cooperative industry.
The isolation of individual effort Is
bad enough anywhere; 1t is ruinous in
California In country that must de-
pend largely on irrigation, cooperative
effort is indispensable. Whole tracts
of land in Fresno county have been
ruined by irrigation that made no pro-
vision for drainage. The land can
be reclaimed and it will be reclaimed
when 1t becomes possible for the farm
ers to work together. The necessity
of the situation is educating them, but
their courses in agriculture are rather
expensive.
But we who are the apostles of ag-
ricultural education do not base its
claims wholly on its economic value.
If the Ignorance and waste in agri-
cultural practice in California were
not demanding agricultural instruc-
tion | should not claim a place for 1t
in the school system because Of its
fundamental Importance. And L be-
lieve with DIR. Hodge that any system
of education that leaves out entirely
the care and culture of the soil is
barbaric, and no system of education
is rightly balanced that fails to take
into consideration social environment
of the pupils.
We need to increase the value of our
agricultural products, but more than
all else we need an intelligent, pro-
gressive and stable rural population.
And how are we to get this? BY a sys-
tenn of education that makes for sue
cess under city conditions? BY sys-
tenn of rural schools that point always
to the city?
Let the agricultural side of life be
fairly and adequately presented, and
then If the young man is of the city
type he will still be fully equipped for
city life and can best serve his state
there. In the department of home
economics train the girls to see the
possibilities in home making and leave
them efficients in this fundamental
woman's work. and then If they prefer
life of industry that life may claim

most of it is purchased from the neigh
boring farmers.
The handling of milk is. scientific and
sanitary throughout and the students
come to their laboratory practice in
this department in white uniforms with
caps to match. In the lecture room
and library they study the principles of

pasteurization, the separation of cream
and all the varied characteristics of
this food product. In the laboratory,
which is the workroom as well, they
learn to use the Babcock test TO deter
mine the per cent Of butter fat; the
casein test to learn the cheese value
OF the milk, and all the various moist
ure tests used in the making of butter.
They handle the milk from the be-
ginning of the work till the fine and
finished products are completed in the
form of well made, we'll cured cheese
and first class butter. There is a COM
mercial aspect to this work, for they
produce and sell about 1900 pounds OF
butter a week.

they take up the commercial side OF

plans are based on the conditions that
obtain at Davis and have to do with
the actual, experimental working out

referred to the homes from which the
students have come
