Llrqe Agricultural Training.

urge hSTlCulIuFdl framing.
 Hon. George A. Cole, president of the State Farmers Union, and H. S. Mobley, lecturer and organizer of boys corn clubs in Arkansas, ad- dressed the house in response to an invitation by that body. MT. Cole said he thought the state had no better law than that requiring agriculture to be taught in the common schools of the country, but he thought it should be carried further and provide plot of ground to be utilized by each school for experimental work. He gave as a cause for the failure of many agricultural schools the fact that they have at their head literary men instead of practical farmers, and pointed out the distinction between the book method and the scientific way of teaching agriculture. He called attention to the fact that one fourth of the people produce the food consumed by the other three-fourths, and declared that it is to the interest of the majority that the farmer be ed ucated to the highest possible stand ard of perfection in his line of indus try. He declared that unless our farmer boys are trained in their call ing our land will soon go into the hands of aliens, many of whom are scientific farmers. Without proper equipment of our agricultural schools, he said, our boys and girls will drift into the literary schools, which do not fit them for practical vacations. MT. Mobley called attention to the two kinds of education, the classic and the avocational. The classic educa- tion, he said, fits no one for the prac- tical side of life, while those espe- cially trained in any pursuit, even though with limited literary educa- ton, are the ones who succeed. He reviewed the work of the boys corn clubs as an educational factor which is having a potent influence for the uplift of the farming industry in Ark ansas, and appealed to the legislators to not graft literary branches upon the agricultural schools of Arkansas.

Fight Agricultural Appropriation Bill.


 Representative Kersh of Union is waging vigorous warfare against the Turner bill, which has passed the senate, carrying an appropriation of $495, 900 for the four agricultural schools of the state. Mr. Kersh says he has no objection to that part of the bill which provides for the main tenance of those worthy institutions, but it is an item of $27,500 contained in the bill to finish paying the $40,O00 bonus which Jonesboro subscribed in order to secure the school which is located at that place, that he is ob- iecting to. He contends that Jones' boro should come across and pay the full amount of the bonus herself, just as the towns did where the other schools are located. He therefore in sisted that this item of $27,500 be stricken from the bill and the re- mainder pro rated equally among the four schools in the state.

Hurst-Bradham Revenue Bill.

The Hurst-Bradham revenue bill rather rocky road in the senate for while when the measure was brought up for consideration in that body. Senator Holland, chairman of the sen ate judiciary committee, made a mo- tion to table the bill, which failed, and nitely postpone, which also failed, and discussion of the merits of the bill followed. Among the important fea- lures of the measure are that all property shall be listed for taxes at it's full value, instead of only 50 per cent, as is the present custom, there- by assuring a more equitable distri- button of the burdens of taxation among the wealthy and the poor peo- pie. When all taxable property is as- sessed at full value the levy can be lowered by reason of the increased volume of assessed valuation, thereby tightening the burden on the small property owner, who, as a rule, lists his property for taxes as much nearer it's true value now than the holders of large interests, such as railroads, banks, etc, as well as of lands being held for speculation. Another feature provides that appeals for the lowering of assessments shall be taken before the state tax commission instead of before the county court, as at present Senators Covington, Martin, CarlLee and Clerget spoke in favor of the bill, while Senators Holland Keel, White and Friedell spoke against it.
