Solution of Problem.
Technical Training is Needed On
Farms To Get Most Out OF The
Soil - Professor Hays Advocates
The Extension OF The Consolidated
Rural Schools Idea.

Crookston, Minn. Especially DE
claring the time is at hand when
American farmers must mix brains
and technical training with their
work on the farm in order to get the
most out of the soil, Assistant Secre-
tary of Agriculture Willet M. Hays
advanced the vocational farmers
school as the solution of the problem
at meeting of the Northern Mime
sofa Development Association here.
THE world is looking on" said
Professor Hays, while we farmers
plod along in our unorganized, un-
systematic, half-hearted way. The
world believes that were our people
broader and better trained we could
produce much better yields than we
do, and we are forced to believe that
the world is right. Whether our ac-
tivity be religious, social, political
or economical, we are on the 15-
bushel basis, with a 25-bushel op-
portunity.'
Professor Hays declared that the
agricultural high school at Crooks
ton was the nucleus of the cure for
these troubles. He advocated the
extension throughout Minnesota OF
the consolidated rural schools idea,
the institutions where farming is
taught In addition to the three RS.

Jackson County, who is serving a

While serving his sentence James
has been making counterfeit dollars
and half-dollars. In some mysterious
way he obtained babbit metal, a
quantity of lead, some bismuth, block
tin and other material used by coun-
terfeiters. He constructed molds of

The prison authorities got hold of
a large number of the spurious coins.
Jaynes passed them off on other con-
victs on holidays, when the inmates
are given the freedom of the yards.
He also exchanged counterfeit coins
for bills with convicts who were
about to be released.
The coins were considered by Nc
Hugh, of the Secret Service, as a fair
imitation of good money. They are
well made, the lettering and figures
are natural in appearance and would
readily pass.
The manner in which Jaynes OBJ
tanned material for making counter
felt money is as mysterious as the
methods which convict In the same
prison employed several years ago to
distill whisky, or a fluid which read
