In an address recently given to the
student body of the State Agricultural
College at Pullman, President Howard
Elliott of the Northern Pacific Rail
way, said that one of the greatest needs
of the present day is an appreciation
of the values of country life. In part
he said:
'The railroads are interested in the
general subject of education, and par
ticularlv are they interested in better
lettering country living in general as
compared with life in the cities.
SIN the last 100 years there has been
marked drifting away from the coun-
try to the city. In 1900 only 81 per
cent of the people of the United States
lived in cities, and the census just
taken will probably show over 35 per
cent living in towns and cities.
ga great work is being done by the
agricultural colleges of the country in
showing how to make country life more
desirable, how to make better use IF
the land. Especially is this a great
work when it in an educational way
reaches young men and women of the
farming communities We must have
more people who like to live In the
country We must have country life
made more pleasant. There is no better
life for the young man or young woman
than a home in the country. They can
do better for themselves there. Scien
tific farming is just as important, and
in time will produce just as good re
suits as scientific work in any other
pursuit.
"The people who live in the Pacific
Northwest. I believe, are very forum
ate. 1t is land which is just begin
ming to develop. 1t is land which
will require a great deal of hard and
intelligent work for its future devel
opment. If any young man feels that
his opportunity is not as good now al
It would have been twenty-five year
ago, he is mistaken. Opportunities new

In preparing to seed altalra, it is
usually best to piow in the fall, leav-
ing the burrows rough over winter, in
order to secure the benefits OF wealth

burrows by the action of the rail- and
winter rams This also encourages the
early termination of weed seeds. SO
that the soil may be partially cleaned
OF foul stuff in the spring preparation

- AS soon as the soil is fit to work
in the spring, the surface should be
given hight working in order to form
a mulch To conserve the moisture and
to smooth the surface of the burrows
to encourage the termination of weed
seeds that lie near the surface. The
amount of cultivation must be deter
mined by the condition of the soil, but
should be sufficient to work up good
mulch of loose earth. Deep cultivation
is not desirable. Up to the first day
of May the land should be given sui
mulch, and to prevent weeds from Sc
curing too much of start. About the
first of MAY the final preparation for
seeding should be given.
elf the surface has been well worked
prior to the first Of May little more
than a single narrowing may be needed
but the aim should be to secure a well
puIverized seed bed of two or three
inches depth with the bottom of the

blowing, the firming of the furrow NAV

The actual point of the accident, ac-

derstand that what he was doing was
not the easiest thing in the world

Just how Hoxsey happened to lose
control of the machine, if that was the
cause, no one who saw him fall wa
able to explain, because the thing wa
done so quickly as TO defy precise OBJ

hour and eight minutes, and shortl,
before the catastrophe was circlini

He had swung around, seemed t
