MIR. Hills Omaha Address.

Mr.. James j, Hill. president OF
the Great Northern railway, dcliv-
cred an address at the Corn Show
at Omaha which deserves the seri-
ous consideration Of all thinking
farmers. Mr.. Hill on account Of his
position can command the atten-
ton Of the public generally and
because of bis ability and pro
found study Of agriculture, as
well as transportation, for many
years deserves the attention Of all
thinking farmers.
A number Of his recent speechc,
have been misunderstood aud he
has been regarded in some quar-
ters as a pessimist Nothing could
be further from the truth. His po-
sition briefly is that on account of

would urge upon the regents the very
apparent advisability, and almost ne
cessity of retaining Prof. George Sey-
GRANGE at the head OF the agricultural
department, While Prof. Severance
mas resigned his position to take a
more lucrative one as manager of
extensive farming interests, it should
be remembered that the latter posi-
ton was rendered him because. in
the words of a member of the com
pany for which he is to work, prof.
Severance is one of the best authori-
ties on wheat culture and scientific
farming in America" Could not the
Washington State College we'll afford
to pay two or three thousand dollars
additional per year to retain such a
man at the head of what seems to us
Iot the agricultural section of the
state, its most important department ?
| he courses in agriculture through
lie [ TIE middle and western states are
/ groWing to be the most popular of
| any, partly because of the fact that
the people are beginning to recognize
| the benefits to be derived from sci
Ientitic tilling of the soil and partly
/ because of the tendency on the part
Iot young men to choose agriculture
as a vocation instead of hurting them
selves into the maelstrom of city
life, with the long chance of making
! a success against them. In the face of
this the need is growing for training
that will aid the man who turns to
rural life in making his career a sue
cess. 1t is thus most apparent that
the services of the very best men
should be secured for the training
of young men in scientific farming.
With Prof. Severance recognized both
in the east and in the west as being
without a peer in the work to which
he is deyoting his life and with the
east continually drawing from the
best men in the western colleges.
there is, The Republic believes, every
eason why there should be no change
in the agricultural department of the

methods and follows the example

AS far as he goes Mr.. Hills DO
.sltion is absolutely sound. The diff
.ficulty, however, is that he does
mot tell US how we are to secure
farm labor necessary for this in
tenslve cultivation. The farmer is
now doing the most that he can
with the labor at hand. He is u.s.
ing machinery such as no other
country uses. His farming requires
a higher degree Of skill on the part
OF the laborer, or the man who
actually does the work, than in
any other country in the world.
and tins brings us right up to the
proposition that we have been ar
gulng for some time. In order to
get this labor necessary in the
house and on the farm, there must
be check to the immigration of
labor from these great central
states. In other words, the farm
population, which alone car fur
Inish the skilled labor, must be
kept on the farm instead of go
ling to distant sections and to the
cities. We can in time, as England
did in half a century, bring up our
yield of wheat from ii bushels to
1870. We can bring up our yield of
corn from % to 40 bushels, but it
cannot be done without an in
creased supply of labor. Nor tan

Iply of labor without the more in.

A Severe Arrangement.

The farmer who is too poor to
buy a pair Of warm blankets for
his team, with wheat at over 81
a buShel, ought to try doing the
chores in a union suit and see how
he likes it. The man who will al
low Il faithful team stand for
hours in the teeth of a bitter cold
while he hugs the grocery store
stove and solves the tariff ques-
lion, has a disposition hard to
compare with. We have seen men
who had plenty Of time to gable
about Joe Cannon and the new
railroad, but who were too busy
to slip a couple of blankets Oh
a shivering team. The man who
allows his team to freeze on win
ter's evening ought to be called
upon to do a jig at the tail of a
toasting fork that will last two
thousand years in the hot
place.-Endicott Index.
