Corn Exposition AS head Of the ex-
tension department of Iowa State Col
lege Of Agriculture he did a work
which, Senator Cummins says, up to
the present time has increased the
wealth of Iowa S3O,OO0,0OO.
The object Of the H Service Blu
reau Is the promotion of agricultural
education, and a cooperation which
will tend to raise the whole tone Of
commercial, industrial and farm life.
Since agriculture is the basis OF pros
perity and progress, naturally farm
problems claim first attention The aim
Is higher efficiency, both on and of
the farm.
To do big work a big organization
Is necessary Not only the bigness,
but the perfection Of the international
organization as well appealed to Pro.
iessor Holden. The big general agen.
cies, scattered all over the United
States and Canada; the statesmen,
travellers and expert machine men;
the 10000 dealers-every one, so far
as possible. is to be made an apostle
Of better farming.
For years the International Har-
Vester Company has realized the i'm
portance Of service. II has spent mil.
lions Of dollars in the perfection Of Ia
bor-saving machines, and now the
company is going in for direct service
direct to the farmers, and direct to
the farmers children that the men
and women Of tomorrow may be more
capable and so more prosperous than
the men and women OF today.
1t is no longer a theory that II we
are to get the most out Of life we
must raise more per acre. "Inten-
BiVe farming" is in the air, 1t is the
battle cry of peace and plenty But
raising more is the result Of mind
not muscle. We must know. And
not only that, we must know we
know, and know why we know. We
must know good seed from bad, right
cultivation from wrong, and the why's
and wherefors Of climates, soils,
fruits, cattle. horses, poultry, and SO
forth.
For these things the bureau was
established But the bureau and
Professor Holden see more than an
average increase Of few bushels.
They see time coming when farmers
will raise twice as many bushels Of
corn, wheat and oats to the acre,
and like yields OF all other kinds OF
farm products They see time when
farmers and farmers wives and their
children will think more and work
less. Every bushel raised means just
that much profit, and the profits Of
the farm promote commerce and IN;
austrT.
After a period Of good work IN Mich,
iEan agricultural college, better work
at Illinois, and a great work at Iowa,
Professor Holden now enters upon
worlds work. While in future Pro
lessor Holden will designate Chicago
AZ home. he says be Is not leaving Iowa
he Is merely carrying Iowa to he
Feat Of the world. -

worry? There are individuals who care
more or less-some Of them care great
deal-for dramatic art, bat in greater
New York are there enough Of them TO
fill one theatre for week? Doubted.
And OF the interested, and the semi
interested, large proportion talks with
more or less eloquence and reads with
more or less eagerness about the plays
To acting little heed is given, possibly
because comparatively little acting Is TO
be seen. Everybody has learned TO
quote a portion of line from Shake
speare: The plays the thing" AS with
most quotations, this one is usually mis-
applied. Shakespeare did not say that
the plays the only thing. nor nine
tenths Of the thing or the principal
thing or the thing for everybody under
all conditions. He merely made Hamlet
say: THE plays the thing, wherein I'll
catch the conscience Of the king"
Hamlet was thinking Of single auditor
maybe two auditors. He was not think
ing OF the court. The court, after the
play, had as little idea of what had been
going on as if it had been an average
Broadway audience intent on an even
ing's amusement. But it cannot be de-
MED that Hamlet was a fairly successful
manager.

trade is oversupplied. But If it is over

His years tour through Wales was A
unique experience. The company did NOT
onca play in a theatre during the whol.
wear. There were no theatres in thess
smaller towns in Wales. They played In
town halls and lodge rooms-any place
where there was an auditorium and plat.
form which they could use as a stage The
scenery consisted of drops and side pieces.
and the dressing rooms were arranged on
each side of the platform by hanging cur.
tsins. the women dressing on one side and
the men on the other.
In one town they were unable to give
their first performance as the town hall
had nearly disappeared in snowbank and
they we're unable to dig passage into It in
time for the performance.
In spite Of the hardshps OF the years

appeared. the manager came out with
fair profit, for he had made reputation
for himself for producing good plays, at
least competently cast, and the annual en-
gagement of his company was looked for

at the end Of the year because the man.
ager put on a pantomime. After consider.
able urging he consented to appear in the
pantomime for a week or two, but was dis
satisfied with that kind OF entertainment
and soon joined stock company In lnver'
ness. Scotland, where his experiences were
as varied and unique az those he had In
Wales. short time after that he secured
an engagement in London, and from that
time on his career has been one OF steady
progress and recognition.
