AGRICULTURE IS A
POPULAR SUBJECT
Many Schools of State Will
Teach Courses Designed
for, Embryo Farmers

BERKELEY, July 2s.-The teaching
of agriculture in the preparatory
schools of the state has increased with
such bounds that the university has
been unable to supply the demand for
competent instructors of agriculture.
From all parts of the state the demand
has come, and, according to Prof. E. c.
Babcock of the department of agricul-
ture practice, the teaching of this sub
ject is daily gaining ground.
Last year there were only nine
schools which taught agriculture. This
year there are "a. most of which have
specially prepared tracts of ground,
where the practical side can be inves-
tfgated by the embryo farmers. The
new schools with agricultural branches
are: Fresno, Visalia, Stockton. Liver
more, Brawley, Holtville, Lordsburg,
Salinas, Los Gatos, Fowler, Fort Bragg,
Claremont and Hollywood number
of other schools have signified their in
tention of adding agriculture to the list
of subjects.
The Brawley, Imperial county. high
school has been fortunate in being able
TO secure Alberto G. Soares of the class
of 1907 who for the last two years has
been principal in a Fresno grammar
school and has successfully taught
agriculture in a limited way
His new work will take him into the
heart of the Imperial valley, where
interest in agriculture and the teach
ing of this subject is keen. Several
preparatory schools and an institute
teach agriculture there.
Soares was well known on the
campus as an athlete, and although
light in weight he played on the second
Rugby team and was a member of the
1907 class team which won the cham
pionship Of the university the first year
that the new game was introduced.

line Of action, agreed on a plan
exactly as outlined III my first

Brand New County Division
Scheme

A new county division scheme
was brought to our attention the
past week. 1t is nothing less than
the formation of a county from
that part Of Pennington county
east of the Cheyenne river and
three townships wide from the
west end of Stanley county. This
would make yoodly county, but
there are innumerable difficulties
in the way OF bringing about such
a result. 1t is hardly necessary to
state that this is a scheme evolved
from the fertile Imagination of
Cottonwood boomers linn
Courant.
