TOO MANY CHUECHES
SAYS DR.. THOMPSON
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. 25.-Citing New
York as a conspicuous example of the
waste of funds on churches, DR.. Chas.
L. Thompson, secretary of the Pres
byterian Board of Foreign Missions,
made an interesting talk before the
annual meeting of the Federal Council
of the Churches of Christ in America.
1T is pity there should be two
little churches in town of three hun
bred each drawing a few hundred dol
lars a year from home mission treas
uries," said DR.. Thompson. But what
about churches crowding each other
in the great cities at an outlay of a
hundred thousand dollars a year
crowding till they gradually crowd
each other off the field and then leave
1t churchless and hopeless.
There stands New York in the bad
eminence of waste of money beyond
any other home mission field | know
of. Let no man talk of western over
tapping so long as the ecclesiastical
history of New York and other capitals
Is remembered.

TALK TO FARMERS
Successful Plan For Instruction And
Demonstration in New
Jersey.

Trenton, N. j., Jan. 25.-Taking the
cue from the Georgia experiment of
three years ago for instruction of
farmers, methods of scientific farming
will be preached to the farmers of
New Jersey by the State Board of Ag-
riculture and the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company during the four days
from January 81 to February 3. This
will be the third agricultural education
train to make a tour through New
Jersey. So much interest has been
shown by New Jersey farmers on for
mer occasions that this year an extra
day will be devoted to them. Dur
ing the early parts of 1909 and 1910
only three-day trips were made
through various sections of New Jer-
sey tributary to the Pennsylvania
Railroad.
An unusual feature of this years
educational train will be the addition
of a coach containing various exhibits
with which the lecturers will illus
trate their talks. The State Board
authorities say that the principles of
intensive farming can be better
brought out by showing the farmers
exactly what has been done at the eX-
pertinent station at New Brunswick.
The exhibition car will contain apples,
with some packed for shipment; corn,
alfalfa, poultry, poultry feeds, nests,
eggs packed for shipment, and printed
charts showing the results obtained
at the experiment station.
Five Thousand to Hear.
The New Jersey farmers special
educational train is to be operated in
continuation of the Pennsylvania Rail-
roads winter campaign in the interest
of scientific farming in the States
through which it runs. The first train
of the winter was operated in Penn
sylvania over the Bedford division,
and the second, one through the GEN.
trail part of aMryland, over the Pope's
Creek branch. Every effort is being
exerted by the railroad company and
the State Board of Agriculture to make
the New Jersey trip a record-breaker
in point of attendance. 1t is estimated
that between 1000 and 5000 farmers
will hear the lectures during the four
days.
Visit 20 Places.
At each of the 20 cities to be visited
four 3O-minute talks will be given in
the two lecture coaches. The farmers
will also be given an opportunity to
view the exhibits in the special car.
Arrangements have been made to have
lecture given in each station build
ing, in case it is found impossible to
accommodate all the farmers, their
