Pres. j. H. Worst Of North Dakota
delivered an address before the Min
nesota Federation Of Commercial
clubs at St Paul this week which was
characterized one Of the finest addresses
OF the meeting, by st. Paul paper.
His subject was The Importance of
Agricultural Education. He said in
part:
There are 100000 children in the
schools of the United States, of whom
100000 are in what might be called
the one-room schoolhouse-the un-
| graded rural schools. Few of them are
taught anything that has any relation
to their life work. They are given an
imperfect training in reading, arith-
metic and the rudiments, but no in
formation is impaired to them which
will aid in the smallest degree in fight
ing the battle of life.
when instruction in agriculture is
mentioned the plea is often entered
that the curriculum is too full as it
Is, that farmers need only such book
knowledge as will assist them in the
business of farming, and that most
any kind of training is good enough
for farmers children.
II am not in favor of the back to
the farm idea. 1t seems to me that
boys and girls who have had a city
training will not prosper materially
on the farm, and will not be happy in
an atmosphere so different from that
In which they are raised The only
way is to make farm life so attractive
that twill keep the boys and girls on
the farm and not lead them to the city.
But how about the education of the
boy and girl?
Agriculture Hereditary Pursuit
Agriculture is hereditary pursuit
The tendencies and love for it are
handed down from father to son. In
training the sons of farmers for their
life work it is not like imparting ar
entirely new subject to them. But we
must put them in the way of educa-
ton and influence them to develop
them properly, and this is being done
to some extent.
I'm the school at Fargo there is a
three months course in agriculture
There were 500 boys in the classes last
year. They studied English and arith-
metic, but they also studied forge
work, woodworking, stock breeding
and FEEDING, termination OF seed, stock |
judging-practical things they would !
need daily on the farm. They loved !
their classes, and so intent did the |
boys become that instead of holding |
classes five days in the week 1t was |
necessary to hold them six days, and |
the boys were grieved when holt |
day compelled them from their stu
dies.
1.-THE study was one of heredity. |
They were prepared by their fathers
for the precise training they were re-
ceiving. The result of this is far
reaching. These boys will become
readers and thinkers, close observers
and will go on growing all their lives
In every community there is one farm
er or more who is conspicuously sue I
cessful-a man to whom the others
look for advice and assistance. He
is the thinker-the practical man, theh

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Chicago Gossip.

Chicago, Jan. 2S.--As one leading
wheat trader expressed it, the only
thing likely to check the decline out
side of bull support is that sentiment
is becoming a little too unanimous. 1t
was hard work to find any bulls on
the curb last night and it was adj
mitted generally that seldom has there
been time when the news was so
uniformly bearish as just at present.
Conservative traders were advising
against following the break In wheat
too far, as the market had the appear
ance of being slightly over-sold at the
close. However, very few of them could
see anything in the situation to war
rant them a cent advance, but the
wheat crop is not matured as yet and
as the unexpected is always happening
in the wheat trade they expect crop
scare to start shortly. Inter-Ocean.

THE IMPORTANCE OF
AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
Address Delivered by President Worst Before the Federated
Commercial Clubs Of Duluth This Week--Char-
acerized as One Of Best at Session.

/ growing mantle model farmer.
There are very few real rural
schools in the United States. It will
cost something to educate properly the
100000 children who are not receiv-
| ing their educational heritage in the
schools as they are now maintained.
Why study Caesar and overlook the
cornstalk? There is just as much Gull
ture in growing corn as there is in a
dead language.
THE consolidated school is the solu-
ton. There is money in this state.
Use some of it to establish one model
school and employ model teacher.
Take forty acres, or buy them If neces-
sary, plant trees, a shelter belt, shrub
berry. Locate there an auditorium
which will seat several hundred peo-
pie. Invite the ministers of all de-
nominations to preach there; make it
center of civic Improvement; locate a
postoffice there-a general store; have
supply of live stock and have
cottage where real teacher can live
In instructing the young boys and girls
in all subjects, but in agriculture in
particular The teacher must be paid
heart interest in his work Then, with
peace and comfort at his disposal he
can rule and teach and exert his best
influence in his territory.
Education Is Vital.
agricultural education is vital If
in North Dakota every acre of Gull
tivated wheat land can be made to
produce three additional bushels it will
mean an annual increase in the states
wealth of $25,00000O and an increase
of ten bushels an acre is not too much.
Have your legislature establish one
school on ideal lines or as nearly ideal
as possible and commence with your
boys and girls at once. Make every
farmer a leader of men, on a profess
sional plane with lawyers and doctors,
wise in the affairs of the nation and
an ornament in the halls of congress.
did you ever stop to think that
with $4,000, 100000 invested in farms
in the United States and one-thfrd of
the population living on them that the
farming interests have not but one
representative in the United States
senate and not a committee in the
house or a chairman of a committee
OF any importance?
did you know that 567 young men
and women graduated from your
state university last year with bach
elor degree or better, and only eighteen
of them were from the college of ag-
riculture or that with S8,936, 600, 600
produced annually by agriculture the
government allows but $1S5 out of ev-
cry 500 to encourage it?
Farmer Boy Best Teacher.
1--WE have no teachers now to in
struct in the schools il the had the
schools. We must have the consoli-
dated schooI-the agricultural high
school and some system to train young
men and women to instruct in agri-
culture and I believe the best teacher
Is the farmer boy, who urged on by
and eager for knowledge is
given the full opportunity to develop
under favorable conditions"

Dat Cakes.

In the old fashioned English house,
holds oat cakes are nearly always kept
on hand. While they are more ap-
propriately eaten after lunch, with
cheese, they come in well at any time.
TO make them, says an English home-
wife. take a piece Of dough when you
are baking bread, about as large as
your fist. Make an equally large ball
Of oatmeal from your breakfast por-
ridge, into which you rub lard or drip
pings and salt, to make of the same
consistency as the bread dough. Then
work the two balls together until
mixed, roll out thin, cut
into circles with tin Or wine glass
and bake.

About Good Roads.

Fergus Falls Journal: The Ramsey
county commissioners are opposed to
the proposition of mill tax for state
aid to roads on the ground that Ram
sey county will pay in more than it
gets back 1t is understood that the
Otter Tail county commissioners are
opposed to 1t because Otter Tail will
get back more than 1t pays in. There
Is no reason for having good roads
unless the people want them.
