VIM. Il. ALDERMAN IS The new STATE H0RTIcUL1URIs7

now associate horticylturist Of the
New York state agricultural expert
ment station at Geneva, N. Y. was ap-
pointed professor of horticulture.
Word has just been received from
Prof. Alderman that he will accept the
position and will commence his work
here August list. Prof Alderman is a
practical fruit grower. as he was
brought up on a fruit farm in West
ern New York, and now owns a fruit
farm in that section. He graduated
from the College of Agriculture OF
Cornell University in 1908, having spe-
cialized in horticulture and soils, be.
ing student assistant in soils during
his last year. After graduation he car
ried on some orchard surveys for Cor
nell and also did considerable extern.
sion work, but his ability was soon
recognized by an appointment to the
New York station at Geneva, where he
has assisted in all phases of the ex-
tensive horticultural work of that sta
ton for the last three years. Proha-
bly, no experiment station in the coun-
try is doing more valuable work than
the New York station at Geneva and
West Virginia is fortunate in securing
the first assistant on its horticultural
staff to take charge of the horticul.

ences; and when we recall that the
majority Of the people never get be-
yond the elementary grades of the
public schools, we see the importance
of teaching some of the laws Of nature
and of life. early in the school course.
The department of agricultural edu
cation will cooperate with the county
superintendents and teachers of the
state in promoting the boys and girls
corn growing contests. and will assist
in any way it can in making the corn
show exhibits and contests a
success this fall. Contestants
will remember that the win
ners are entitled to compete for
the big state prizes in the corn show
at Keyser next December.
The head of the department of agrf-
cultural education and others In the
faculty of the College Of Agriculture
will visit many district Institutes and
confer with the teachers in the prob
lens Of agriculture and nature-study
in the schools. Conferences are also
to be held with high schools and nor
mails in regard to the Introduction and
teaching of agriculture in these
schools. In all the ways possible the
department stands ready to help the
boys and girls and teachers Of West

In the modern renaissance OF agri-
culture the public school teachers are
to take no small part The Federal
government recognizes this fact and
by the Nelson law Of 1906 provides
that a portion OF the increase to the
Morrill, fund may be used for the pur-
pose OF training teachers of agricul-
ture in the public schools. The de-
mand for such training In the schools
OF West Virginia. under the law re-
quiring elementary agriculture to be
taught in the free schools Of the state,
led the board of regents of the state
university to provide a department Of
Agricultural Education in the College
of Agriculture. Prof. A. w. Nolan.
who had charge Of the departments Of
horticulture, forestry and entomology
in. the college, was recently trans
ferred to this new department.
The plans for this new department
have not been fully developed, but
some definite work has been outlined
for next year., proposing to help the
