NEW LIFE FOR THE FARM.

The 1909 Year Book of the Department of Agrl-
culture attempts to solve the riddle of how to keep
young men on the farm. It is an old problem, and
it probably will be with us as long the poor.
The records made by young men who left the farm
are not available, but the records of Presidents
of the United States; governors of states, cabinet
officers, railway presidents, congressman and sem
ators who started life the farm available, and
the dreams Of the country boy are to attain the
greatness which has come to these, Records show
that no less than 80 per cent of the Presidents
started life on the farm. Of governors, 91.2 per
cent cabinet officers $3.50 per cent? railway presi-
dents, 55.4 per cent; congressman, 81 per cent,
and senators, 70.6 per cent. President james j.
Hill of the Great Northern railroad is reported
to have taken up country residence at great per-
sonal inconvenience in order to give his three
boys "a good start In life" Certainly good start
is half the race.
The Year Book advocates the organization of
boys clubs to study the best methods of produc-
ing the staple farm products of their neighbor-
hood, be they cotton, corn or pumpkins. 1t sug
gests that the county superintendent and rural
teachers be the mentors, the parents furnish the
land and implements, the merchants and bankers
prizes, and the local papers the publicity The in
terest which could thus be aroused among boys, and
the demonstration of the fact that there is profit
from the proper cultivation of the soil, it is be-
Ieyed viii tend to keep young men the farm,
and that the auring prospects of the city will lose
their force.
By showing the possibilities of the soil when
properly managed, and the ease with which wealth
achieved in rural life when art and science join
hands, the Year Book believes that country life
will have more attractions than life in the city.
If love for the farm can be created, there need
never be any great effort to persuade people to
stay there 1t is the love for the city and the dis
like of the farm that has caused most of the young
men to forsake their rural homes to seek their for
tunes in the cities.

AERoPLANEs IN WAR.

The accomplishments of the aeroplanes in the
Epast month have been most wonderful and indicate
that as a sport the flying game is making rapid
astrides But notwithstanding the strides it has
made as a sport little has been done to show its
importance as a means of transportation that it
will soon enter as a factor into the worlds COM
trnerce. When the first successful flight was made
over the English channel the good people of Great
Britain were somewhat awed by the inadequacy of
their coast defense Their navy, for many years
the pride of the Britishers heart, seemed grossly
inadequate to cope with the aeroplane. Then an
other aeroplanist took it upon himself to fly over
the channel and back again without alighting
Then the trip was made from Albany to New York.
and the only postcards being sent out of the city
of Dayton, Ohio, show the Wright brothers In
flight to their experimental grounds north of that
city, They evidently are preparing to capture some
of the prizes Offered for flights between New York
and Chicago and New York and st. Louis.
All these things have stirred the war spirit in
the human breast and the advisability of the aero
plane as weapon of destruction Is being widely
discussed. 1t would be easy for single man in
flying machine to carry up with him sufficient
high explosive to blow the biggest Dreadnaught to
atoms and the thousand or more men on board
would be as helpless as bird before shotgun.
couple of aeroplanes loaded for business in
France could demand tribute from London on pain
of being blown into eternity. 1t would be trick
at all to load machine on boat and bring it to
the shores of America. By wireless telegraph the
authorities of New York could be commanded to
pay tribute or be destroyed by aeroplane with
dynamite. Isn't it interesting?

1t doesn't seem just right to have the bait of
pension backed by millions of dollars to subsidize
our educational institutions, and especially the
state institutions, to the support of which every
taxpayer contributes.
Educational institutions of the country have
been treated most generously by those who have
accumulated fortunes which they know not how
to spend And when one institution has received
an endowment, the fact has been heralded far and
wide Perhaps the donors would have preferred
to remain in the background, but the institutions
themselves have been compelled to set forth their
superior advantages, and the endowments no doubt
are an influential factor in attracting students
to them. Il is probably more difficult for mer-
chant prince to divest himself of his surplus capt.
tai than it was to get it, and the money given IN
the interest of education probably has been well
spent as it could have been. But if the money be
given with the proviso that certain fixed stand
ard shall be maintained. then the gift is open to
criticism 1t may be that it is not the intention
to subsidize the colleges of the land and that the
suggestions given out by the president of the Foun-
dation would raise the standard of the institutions
which follow them, but certainly the instructors
would not be inspired by the same lofty ideals nor
be animated by the same heroic purposes if they
stood in fear of losing the annuity for their de-
Ginning years Money has its uses, and it is quite
necessary in the conduct of great schools but, like
the gift of God, an education that is can orna-
ment in prosperity and refuge in adversely" can
not be bought.
