A per cent decrease in desertions
in the troops under his command has
occurred and every effort has been
made to decrease the number of sum-

bert L. Myer. commanding the Depart
ment Of Texas. in his annual report.
He says the absence Of so many Off
GERS, especially captains who have had
experience. and the turning over to the
younger officers Of the companies has
much to do with the increasing lack
of knowledge and experience In han
ding men. 1t is SO much easier IN
write charges than to personally su.
pervise the actions of men.
Gen. Myer says the new logging in
troduced in the army is less desirable
than the old Logging with the strap nm

each post should have a certain amount
Of transportation Independent of the
actual field allowance for troops. and

The new phase in state farmers in
stitute work, introduced by Superin-
tendent A. ID. Wilson. is. to be most
heartily commended. While our insti-
tutes have been of high order. the
rev prize feature inaugurated by SUI
perintendent Wilson is without doubt
q long step in advance of anything
known before, and will surely, be an i'm
portant factor in bringing about inn
proved conditions. 1t must be con
ceded that Alinnesota's climatic condi-
tions and her unparalleled soil fertility
are ideal for the production OF album
dant crops; the great need that pre-
sents itself now is a better seed bed
and stronger vitalized seed; weak ger
minating seed would be like using the
runt as sire III your herd of swine,
10 intelligent farmer would expect ia
vorable results from such a source.
The new special prize institutes hav"
in mind improved conditions Of seed.
the oft repeated saying, | am from
Missouri and must be shown, applies
with great force in agriculture. This
new method in institute working will
make the meetings more attractive, and
will encourage much larger atten-
dance of those who are benefited by
such instructions; it likewise encourages
friendly rivalry that has accomplished
such great things for our creamery in
dustry. Once the desire to excel is
stimulated by object lessons, which
instruction; an apparent need will
be recognized of a closer relation with
the people in the rural districts.
1t must be borne in mind that what
ever increases the. prosperity of ouT
husbandmen and the earning capacity
of Our farms, likewise increases the bu-
slness of our towns and cities. In this
sense this new phase OF prize Institutes
is cooperative; as the bankers, mer-
chants and other business interests in
variably put up the prize money, in
this, they not only show. commend
able spirit, but are surely showing A
business foresight that will return to
them one hundred fold.
The superintendent of institutes has
shown most praiseworthy spirit in
this matter, as it brings to his depart
ment on enormous amount of labor
heretofore unknown in his office. This
new attraction will not only increase
the numbers that attend the insti-
tutes; bringing them from greater dis
tances, but as we have tried to show
it will likewise reward the business
people by increasing their patrons, 'and
giving them a larger. range of territory
to draw upon, besides 1.-The great bcne-
fit that will be theirs in increasing the
general prosperity of the country tri-
butary to the town where the insti-
tute is held.
