When first met Leonard l.. Vann, pres school, he was acting as master of cere- monies in a performance that was be- ing given by travelling "Basso Profun- do'' from Broadway for the benefit of the literary societies of the school. It was in the spacious and brilliantly light ed auditorium of the main college build ing at Wetumpka.
 When I saw him next morning after trampng over the school farm with Agri- culturist Burton w. Scheib we "treed" him under his residence making some re- pairs on the sewerage arrangement An other time in passing I saw him hoeing out his early peas in the garden
 To remark that he is a worker is per haps superiuous. This is why the Fifth District Agricultural school is one of the most efficient in the state.
 I did not ask him, but Agriculturist Scheib is not an Irishman, a Frenchman or Japanese. His name is certainly not Russian, but he knows his business when it comes to juggling the soil and ex- tracting therefrom wonderful revelations of corn, cotton, hay, vegetables fruits and other articles of agrarian utility.
 Farmers Yam and Scheib have put on a wide range of agricultural enterprises. They are trying to teach the boys and give all the branches even down to hog and poultry raising. They have some fine bred Berkshire hogs and Buff Orpington chickens of the best breed and strains, and among their other studies the pupils are instructed in breed values and stock economy.
 The school has a farm that is ad- mirably adopted to the work of demon- strating and experimentation. It is com posed of sand and clay soil that re- spends readily to fertilization and scien- tific cultivation.
 Used for demonstration are appies, peaches, grapes, cherries and other fruits. Most all the vegetables are grown. I saw on the farm nine varieties of oats and as many of wheat.
 Alfalfa IS being grown very success fully, and some most important as well as interesting experiments are had with it.
 Some very important experiments are being made with the growing of cotton at the Fifth District Agricultural school. The object Is to study conditions and adaptation of different varieties with diff fering soils to meet the boil weevil con dition that will soon be upon the entire cotton growing belt of the states
 The farmers of the district have stand ing invitation to visit the farm, to con suit with the management and get the benefit of cooperative study and demon stration.
 The practical demonstration work is of immense value not only to the farmers of the district, but especially to the students of the institution.
 The same methods for the improvement of all other crops are being employed. and the results are very encouraging.
 A careful study Is made of seed selec- ton and the breeding of plants to secure the highest perfection possible.
 The main school building is one of the best in the state. It is exceptionally arranged for school purposes with com modious apartments for physical culture and athletics. All the departments of study are presided over by the highest grade instructors. The attendance is more than 300.
