He outlined the plan by which he hopes

treaties are held up and threatened

determine whether a question should
be sent to arbitration. pra ctically

President Taft tonight suggested as
a compromise that the American mem

modern farming on proper principles.
This will give the brothers who stay
on the farm a much better prospect
on a good income and heaithful living
than those who seek to join professions
or to engage in business in which the
chances for the profits and comfort
able livelihood for the individual are
growing less, while those upon the
farms are rapidly increasing.
The promotion Of this movement of
vocational education Of the embryo
farmer. In the sons OF the 0resent
farmer is as high a function as any
government department could expect,
and that is what is being pressed for
ward under the secretary Of agricul-
tnre In every state in this nation.
The vocational schools must be in
creased In every state. It is proposed
in every county in every state there
shall be a trained agriculturist, to be
paid by the county, who shall by ae-
tual experiments on the different farms
in the county, illustrate the proper
methods of tilling crops, of rotating
them, and who shall give the benefit
of his experience as to the proper or
ganization of farms, as well as to the
improvement in the breed Of plants
and in the breed Of cattle and other
live stock.
1T is thought that by such actual
experiment in connection with the high
schools and agricultural colleges such
a stimulus may be given to the present
generation of farmers that its effect
upon the coming generation win be
doubled. OF course we must observe
economy in every expenditure Of the
govrnment and we must not now let
the enthusiasm in favor of particular
cause blind us to the necessity Of care
in the disbursement Of public money;
but I am bound TO say that Go not
know any part of the government bust
ness In which the public VIII receive a
more certain advantage than from
money expended under the app-opris-
ton bills for the agricultural depart
ment Of the United States"
