Do not plant front yard profusely

non fault OF the plan OF the average
country home is that no plan what

until, for thez.passerby,, 1t is hard tc
determine where the back yard to tn

must be more or less litter around the

hat the litter Is necessary does moi
Justify one in taking means to get il

SPEECH UPON
SUGAR TARIFF
Senator Smoot of Utah Declares that the Numerous
Attempts to Lower Rate on Sugar Cause
Decrease in Production

While the sugar tariff bill was be-
lore the senate last week, Senator
Smoot Of Utah, made a brief state
nent OF his position. foregoing a full
discussion Of the subject, because OF
he limited time for debate, only one
lay being available. In his brief state
nent, Senator Smoot said:
" believe, Mr.. President, that sena-
tors pretty well understand what il
really costs to produce beet sugar and
cane in this country.
Il have made a number OF speeches
in the past on the subject. showing
what it actually costs to produce sugar
in this country. both cane and beet
There is no change in those costs

sire for the sugar industry OF thi.
country is sufficient to enable it tc
hold its own against increased impor
tation of sugar of foreign countrie:
ard enable it to develop in the fu
ture, and no more; The amount O

has been a somewhat disputed ques

Increased Production

The rapid increase in the produc-
ton Of apples has been the basis Of
wide speculation for a number Of
years, and it has often caused the
belief in the minds of growers that
there will be in short time an over
production OF this delectable fruit.
But as the increase in the yield is
found, the market has widened, due
to the fact that grading rules makes
the fruit more tempting and the sales
heavier. Then, too, the population
OF the cities is steadily Increasing,
and in about the ratio as the Increase
in the production OF apples.
In the east the yield of apples is
calculated by the barfel, and the fol-
lowing from the Youths Compaion
will be found of interest in this COP
nection.
The apple experts prophesy for this
year the immense crop OF fifty million
barrels of apples for commercial purs
poses Last year IN July they said II
would be about twenty-nine million
barrels. and 1t fell little short OF
thirty millions, so accurate has the
crop perdiction become Nor do the
experts stop with forecasts for this
year They estimate that in the won
derful apple-raising region OF the
northwest, the crop this year will be
about eighteen thousand carloads. OF
hundred and sixty barrels to the car
and that the present rate of increase
and development will result in forty
to fifty thousand carloads in 1915
and hundred and twenty thousand
to hundred and forty thousand car
loads in 1920

The student Of agriculture at the
Normal goes into laboratory that is
equipped with material by which he
is enabled to study the plant in its
lactual growth processes and See in
operation the forces that ihuence the
growth Of plants. His study begins
with the soil, the different types, the
natural fertility Of soils. the normal
amount OF moisture and humus under
the natural conditions. This done he
then contrasts natures method OF
building up and keeping the soil fer
tile with the artificial method of sol
fertilization and Improvement as j:

to figure crop rotation that supple
mented by barnyard manure, will per
NIT nature to keep his fields continu-
ally fertile and at the same time make

student takes up the study OF the seed

spring of 1910 the Board of Directors
of the Albion State Normal installed
the Department OF Agriculture making
it permanent part Of the curriculum of
the school Such department Is
needed in a normal school because the
trend OF the present day education is
towards the vocational. which it
should be, and the time will soon
come when the teacher who cannot
handle the subject Of agriculture
successfully will be unequipped for
successful teaching. The work in this
department can be divided Into three
distinct sub-hcads. namely Textbook
Agriculture. Agriculture Laboratory
and Agriculture Practice.
Texts Must be Supplemented.
The writer regrets that book upon
Elementary Agriculture has not been
issued by some leading investigator Of
agriculture. ii, the inter-nountain
states. who is thoroughly acquainted
with agricultural conditions they en-
ist in these states.
We find on the market several ex-
cellent elementary texts written with
thorough understanding of agficul-
ture conditions of the Mississippi val
ley and of the Atlantic states. and very
valuable use in the public schools in
those sections. We find in the publish
lists excellent texts written with a
thorough understanding and knowle-
cge of the agricultural conditions on
the Pacific slope, satisfactory text
for the use in that section However
Mississippi valley soil and climatic
conditions are not conditions found
in the Intef-mountain states, neither
ere the climatic conditions OF the Pac-
ihc slop those of the inter mountain
states.
The instructor following text book
quite closely is handicapped because
the text he>is using does not present
