Poets have sung of the glories OF
country life and the beauties of ma
ture, and philosopher have dis.
coursed on the rejuvenating effect
yielded by contact with the soil.
1t has all been very pretty, but in
a large measure has been looked upon
by the work-a-day world as just mere
prettiness If not flubdub.
But the modern age is not content
alone to admire its poetry in books
and assent to its philosophy as set
forth in print. II wants applied to
both the touchstone of application to
actual life.
Such tests are constantly being
made in hundred different forms,
and more often than not do they vim
dictate the races ancient and most
cherished sentiments.
The belief in the remaking, human.
izng power of contact with the soil Is
receiving many justifcations for its
existence.
Here is one. told by news dis
patch: Believing that contact with
the soil rids the convict of much of
his bitter feeling against society,
Warden Codding of the Kansas state
penitentiary has adopted the plan of
putting all convicts to work six
months before their release on a farm
established for that purpose at the
prison. Sixty convicts are now at
work on the farm.
Put a man out on a farm said
Warden Codding. and let him hear
the sounds of nature, smell the fresh
ness of soil and plant, let him watch
things grow from rotting seed to a
beautiful, useful thing, and his better
nature asserts itself. He gets a log
ical view of life and is ready to go
into the world and be better man +"
Whether 1t be for the reforming of
girls or boys, men or women, the farm
has been found better than the work.
house. Contact with the soil has been
found to help cure the insane and
rescue the drunkard.
Touching the soil completes the con-
nection with the vital forces of life,
Through it there seems to pass to
humanity much of cure for the flesh
and balm to the soul-Atlanta Geor-

SOUTH TEXAS LAND DEAL.

A large land deal has just been
closed by a Houston firm whereby
$4,000 acres of rich agricultural land
in Brazoria county passes into the
hands of Eastern capitalists. 1t is the
intention of the purchasers to develop
the land and cut it up into small tracts
for settlement by Northern and East
ern farmers. Improved roads will be
constructed through the property and
as soon as all improvements are COM
pleted the land will be placed on the
market in small farms or tracts.
Each year is bringing more farmers
from other states to Texas, where
good crops are practically assured,
and it is well known fact that only
a small percentage of the farmers
who settle in this state return to their

expert assisting the state department
of agriculture at the state experiment
station at Bolton, will begin at orce
