Washington. November 2i.-Almost
all the members. of the Cabinet We're
engaged In pairing down their esti-
mates for the next fiscal year, fol-
lowing directions from the President.
James Wilson. Secretary OF AGricul-
ture, said:
"One thing would like to get more
money for Is to teach the Northern
farmers how to farm. am asking
for some money for this purpose. but
] would like to have great deal more.
These fellows up North don't know
how to farm. But that's not the worst
part of 1t: they won't learn. They
simply will not let any one teach
them anything. It's rather hard to lay
ones finger on their specific ailment as
farmers. but there is Z general trouble
they all suffer from, and that is that
they will not be Taught. In short, they
think they know 1t all, when ms a
matter of fact the OPPOSITE is quito
true.
1.-THE fellows down South are anxious
and willing to be taught. and the con-
sequence Is that they are making great
strides: but these Northern farmers
