Scientific Agriculture
I'm addition to all these elements
that are working to the restoration to
the farmers of increased efficiency In
their management. is the education
that is being given in the country
and one and near the farm in sci
entifc agriculture. In the states we
have long had agricultural colleges.
Now these are being supplemented by
agricultural high schools and by what
are called the consolidated rural
schools, all of which have the effect
to create much more than heretofore
closer farmer community and to
give growing youths knowledge of
the best methods of agriculture and IA
prospect in the high prices of farm
products of an adequate return for
modern farming on proper prin-
ciples.
This will give to the brothers who
stay on the farm much more GER
tain prospect of a good income and Il
comfortable living than those who
seek to go in professions or to engage
in business in which the chances for
the profits and more comfortable liv-
iihood for the individual are growing
less. while those upon the farms are
rapidly increasing. The promotion of
this movement of vocational cduca-
ton of the embryo farmer in the sons
of the present farmer is as high a
function to fulill as any government
department could perform and that is
being pressed forward under the sec
rotary of agriculture in every state in
this nation.

SOME ARGUMENTS FOR IT.


The writer does not remember q sea.
son in good many years when so
many conditions seemed to urge the
wisdom Of installing silos all through
the corn belt. In the first place, ow-
ing to the shortage in the hay crop,
roughage of most every kind is likely
to be high priced. Again. it is posi-
BILE that many fields in the drought
afflicted sections will be short in ears
and that to realize what one ought
from the whole corn plant it should
be put into silo. 1t is patent that
this fall, IL ever. it will be the height
Of folly to allow 40 per cent OF the
value Of the corn plant to bleach and
go to waste in the fields. OF course it
Is better. II the corn Is cut than not,
but it Is better put into silo than
put In shock and exposed to uncertain
weather conditions. One of the strong
est arguments in favor OF installing
silo now. before the 1911 corn crop 10
ready to shred, IS that 1t will provide
a succulent ration during the winter
months and next summer. when there
is possibility Of just such dry spell
as We are now having. The Job of
filling the silO can be cheapened as
well as simplified II three or four
neighbors install them and unite In
the purchase of the equipment used in
shredding and filling.
