THE FARMER HOW TO FARM

in addition to the numerous educa-
tional institutions that receive state
aid.
There are also 81 Gland grant agri-
cultural colleges established and
endowed by a congressional grant OF
public lands in 1882, and the total
value of their land, buildings and
equipment reaches the respectable
figure of S117,50O,OOO. Their annu-
al income from all sources exceeds
$21.OOO,00O. In these institutions
there were last year As, 14O white
students and 7,110 negroes in segre-
gated schools of the same grade.
There are over 5000 teachers, occu-
pied in research and instruction, and
over 1901 competent scientific farm
ers are turned out from these col
leges every year. No matter how
small the working capital careful in
yesFigation shows that it pays the
farmer to know how to get the pest
out of his land. Scientific farming
increases the production sometimes
as much as 80 per cent.
An interest in agricultural educa-
ton has been fostered in the kinder
garten and elementary schools OF
MANY states. A notable case is that
of Wake county, North Carolina. me
land around II schools was parceled
out into garden plots or small farms,
ranging from two to ten acres In ex-
tent. The children were taught how
to use their garden tools to the best
advantage, and from the very prac-
tica and success which attend their
efforts their minds are turned away
from the bane of all rural popula-
tions. the desire of urban life. the
juvenile farmers will have their
minds impressed with the value of
the principle of rotation of crops, the
neglect of which idea Las meant so
much of impoverished land and enor-
nous expense for fertilizers.
The Experiment Stations.
Many active farmers can give lit
tie time to college courses, and the
government met this condition by es-
Publishing experiment stations at va
rious points from Maine to Florida
and from the coastal plain of the
Atlantic to the far-off Philippines. In
the Iast ten years over 100000

sources Local conditions are stud

BUBoNIC AT SAN JUAN.
Citizens Fleeing From the Dreaded
Plague in Porto Rican City.

Citizens Fleeing from Cno Dfeaueu
Plague in Porto Rican City.
Earlier optimistic reports regard
ing the outbreak of bUbonic plague
in San Juan, Porto Rico, are not
borne out by the latest advices stat"
ing that citizens are fleeing from the
city in large numbers. The first sus-
picious case was found June IA and
some deaths soon followed. The or
igin of the dreaded disease was trac-
ed to a ship from Venezuela, during
the unloading of which at San Juan
a number of dead rats were found
in the hold inoculated with plague
germs.
The Porto Rican capital has ever
been singularly healthful, even be-
fore the American invasion, due in
large measure to ideal climatic con-
ditions. That an epidemic is feared
is but natural in the face OF the diff
ficulty which has always been en-
countered in fighting what is regard
ed as a "'rat-borne" disease.

conquer pests and moths, how to

plants and to cure theLl. The pres
emit annual income of these 63 sta
4ions amounts to over $1,5OO,OO0.
1t is a great, beneficial and
profitable work to which our con-
servers of the interests of the farm
ers have set their hands. The true

Wants Pee-puIs Friend to Publish
Campaign Expense Account.
LACROSSE, Wis-United States
Senator LaFollette in printed ar
ticle asks Colonel Roosevelt for the
second time to publish his expense
account or else "a candid statement
of his reasons for thus spurning one
of the basic principles of public mo-
rality and political decency."
When LaFollette made public
statement of his campaign receipts
during the primary contest he called
on Roosevelt to do likewise. There
has been no response. LaFollette
says in part:
Big business with big money de-
rived from unfair privileges is ever
in politics and is ever ready to place
its funds back of likely winner who
is either subservient, in the sense
that a chisel is subservient to the
hand of the carpenter, or serviceable
to the extent that he is harmless in
performance.
Special privileges puts money in
to political campaigns by way of in
vestment. From such investments
it demands substantial rewards. 1t
is to protect the public interest from
rewards such as these, conceived in
twilight and consummated in secret,
that the people demand publicity of
campaign contributions.
Theodore Roosevelt entered the
contest for the presidential nomina-
ton as progressive. He made a
strenuous campaign for votes and a
noisy scramble for Southern dele
gates on the ground that he repre-
sented progressive doctrine. In this
fight he had the backing of the steel
trust and the harvester trust

7. R. PLANS DASH
INTO TENNESSEE
Colonel Will Strike Into VoIun-
teer State After Atlanta
Speech This Week.

TULSA, OKLA. Sept. 24.-Into the
South came Colonel Roosevelt today to
try to win this state over to the Pro-
gressive cause. Roosevelt urged a
crowd at the depot, where he spoke
from the rear platform of his special
train Ito break away from the old par
ties and support the only party that is
fighting the bosses.
Think it over and see what you can
expect from the boss controlled Re-
publican party that stole a nomination
and the boss ridden Democratic party
that turned down the man who carried
the primaries in nearly every state"
said the colonel
IF you can not see that you are vot-
ing the boss way if you go with the
Democratic or Republican parties, then
you are not alive to the real situa-
ton"
The itinerary for the remainder of
the campaign, after the ex-president
completes this swing around the circle,
was announced on the special train to-
day. The coloners managers have add
ed one day to the present trip to give
Roosevelt an opportunity to stump
Tennessee next Monday. He goes into
Tennessee from Atlanta, swinging
through the western part of the state.
His principal speeches will be at Chat
tanooga and Knoxville. From there he
proceeds on to North Carolina, finish
ing up his four weeks tour next Tues
day night at Raleigh
Goes Back West Again.
Roosevelt gets back to New York on
Wednesday noon and goes to Oyster
Bay for a days rest. On Friday he
goes to Washington to testify before
the committee investigating campaign
contributions The colonel will repeat
largely what he said in his recent let
ter to Senator Clapp, chairman OF the
committee. After testifying in Wash
ington, Roosevelt will return to oyster
Bay to stay until Monday. when he
goes upon a ten days trip through the
middle West.
On that trip he will visit Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michi-
gan. On his way back to New York he
will likely spend two days In Pennsyl-
vania. After two days of rest in New
York, the third party candidate will
launch upon a five days invasion OF the
New England states. After that he will
devote himself to New York state, Civ
ing nearly a week up to the night of

means of supplying without cost the

made by the birds has become such
nuisance that it interferes with the

birds as they fly out from the vines are

birds are delicious
