Sleeping Sickness Discovery.

Reports received from the commits.
sion on Sleeping Sickness working in
Rhodesia state that IT has been proved
beyond doubt that the tsetse fly. known
as Glossina morsitans, as carrier Of
the disease.
The commission was dispatched to
Africa in consequence of the appear
ance OF the disease In regions where
Glossina pslpalis (the species of tse-
tse fly, which up to that time bad
alone been regarded as carrier OF
sleeping sickness,) was non existent.
The guilt OF Glossina morsitans has
been proved not only under laboratory
conditions, but also in nature. Certain
animals can act as the host OF the
virus without suffering thereby.
While palpalis is to be found only
In narrow limits, morsitans is met
with throughout Africa In wide areas,
and the methods of migration and iso-
'lation hitherto employed will be prso-
tically impossible.

BRINGING EDUCATION TO THE FARM.

@ LOWLY but surely the farmers Of land
~ coming into their own through the operations Of
the Federal Government They already enjoying
the benefits Of the constantly widening activities Of
the Department of Agriculture and the rural free de-
livery. Soon they will have the parcels post Under
the auspices of the Department Of Agriculture the
experimental stations are doing great educational
work. and the agricultural departments Of many
colleges The latest action by the Government how
ever. is to carry a campaign Of education into the
farming districts. and TO have duly accredited agent
in each county in the United States.
The experts on farm management Of the Department
Of Agriculture who plan this great educational
work now are preparing to go into the field. c.
b. Smith, one of them, already has gone TO Massachu-
arrange for farm management and field studies
and demonstrations throughout New England It will
the duty OF the county agents Of the Government TO
gather farm statistics for the Government and to as
ast the farmers the general development of their
work Eight years ago similar system put
in effect in several Southern States and the
which attended the operation Of the agency system
there led the GO vernment to decide TO extend It to
all sections Of country.
The agents will be volunteers but ssaried on
cials who will be selected for fitness The plan is
that the Federal Government shall pay half their sal
aries and that the other half shall be paid by the
counties in which they work The salaries will range
from $1,000 to $500 year, with allowances Of from
$500 10 $500 year for travelling expenses.
No doubt there will he counties in which short
sightedness and parsmony will prevent the appoint
ment Of agents on the halfandh half basis. In those
which arc wide-awake their interests however, 1t is
thought difficulty will be experienced in OBJ
tanning the necessary appropriations for the salaries
and expenses of the agents
Great care should be exercised by the Federal
Government not to permit the system 10 fall into
dscredit through partisan appointments and manipu-
lation.
