FARMERS, INSTITUTES.

More frequently, as the years go
by, institutes are being conducted
throughout the state for the direct
benefit of the farmers and fruit rails
ers, by the state organizations Of those
men. As those interested In those
ealings come to know the value of
the Institutes the wider becomes the
circle Of their influence and the more
quickly is the object being attained.
These institutes are to the farmers
and fruit raisers what lectures are to
the students in college. They contain
the valuable information. tersely told,
which has been gained through years
Of costly experience and experiments,
and show the value of lifting the
standard Of farm business in Connec-
ticut.
This fostering of the work of the
farmers is already having it's effect,
and back to the farm is getting to be
reality The Connecticut farms have
not lost all their productiveness and
with the benefit of education along the
institute line, the associations, oranges
and, above all. the agricultural col
leges, they should be made to come up
to their capabilities. Expert knowledge
will go a long way towards this re-
suit, and with the great benefit Of soil
surveys, the Connecticut farmer can
be conducting dairy farms, apple or
peach orchards in competition with
his New England neighbors and west
ern friends. With this improvement in
method and adaptation to the posi-
bilities it will be easy to regain the
market and get back into the front
row in agriculture.

WORLDS TERNATlONAL COM
MERGE, 1911.

The worlds International trade has
doubled in value in the last is years,
and shows for 1911 a larger total than
ever before recorded. The bureau Of
statistics of the department of COM
merce and labor publishes each month
the latest available data on the trade
Of each of the principal countries Of
the world, and in its annual volume
statement covering for a full years
period the trade returns Of a still
larger list Of countries. The number
Of countries named in its monthly
table is about % and in its annual
table over so. In each case. however
it is possible to compare the trade Of
any given country in the latest avail
able period with lis own trade in the
corresponding period of the preceding
year. A comparison of these monthly
figures which cover portions of the
year 1911 indicates that the trade for
those portions of the year for which
figures are available shows an in
crease Of between per cent. and s
per cent. over the corresponding period
of last year. and should this gain be
shown in the figures for that part Of
the year not yet reported, the total
international trade of the world would
approximate II billions Of exports and
is IL billions Of imports.
These figures indicate that the in
ternational commerce of the world in
1911 aggregated approximately So IL
billion dollars. against 80 billions in
1907, "A billions in 1904. 20 billions in
1901, and Is 1-2 billions in 1895 These
figures are in all cases a combination
Of both imports and exports for all
the countries for which data are
available, and since all articles ex-
ported from one country become the
imports Of some other country, the
value Of the merchandise actually
moved may be assumed to be approx
mately half the sum obtained by a
totalization Of the imports and exports.
Taking the export figures alone, the
total for 1911. for the countries for
which data are available, will proba-
| bly, approximate II billion dollars,
against IA 1-3 billions in 1907. II Is
billions in 1904, 9 2-3 billions in 1901,
and Z ga billions in 1896 The i'm
ports, although composed Of articles
already recorded as the exports from
| some other part Of the world. are val
ued considerably higher when import
ed than the valuation of the same
articles when exported. since in most
| cases cost Of transportation and, in
some cases, other expenses, are added
in determining the value of the mer-
chandise when imported. AS a result,
the valuation Of imports into the prin-
cipal countries of the world in 1911
will probably aggregate about IS IL
billions dollars, against IS billions in
| 1907, 10 billions in 1904, II billions in
1901. and billions in 1896.

WILLING TO RUIN THE PARTY.

Since Theodore Roosevelt has called
attention to the fact that the support
srs of Taft are willing to ruin the
party, it dawns upon US that he is
thinking Of himself as the rescuer of
this grand old party from the error OF
its ways; and the way he has taken
10 do it is made singular by his dis
regard Of tradition and his assump-
ton Of a necessity which can be met
by no public man but himself
President Taft has been busy along
Roosevelt lines since he was inaug-
urated. He has knocked out the
Standard Oil trust he has supported
Or. Wiley III his reform work, regard =
less Of the rulings Of the Remsen
beard, he has introduced postal saw
ings banks. favored the extension OF
civil service and made the employers
liability act constitutional and had ii
enacted into effective law He makes
less noise than Roosevelt and accom-
plishes more.
We do not hear Mr. Roosevelt favor
ing parcels post His larger liberties
for the people will in no way improve
their condition.
The republican party does not need
repeat its performances Of 1884, when
it cordially endorsed Arthur's admin
istrstion and then ruthlessly turned
him down. Since that day a good adj
ministration has been a guaranty OF
a second, and there is no earthly rea
son why this courtesy should not be
extended to President Taft.

MUST DO THEM ALL AT ONCE.

War upon pests is expensive and
the resolution to exterminate them is
unayailing, as a twenty years war
and an expenditure Of three and a
half millions in Massachusetts has
shown,
New Jersey is just as resolutely en-
gagged in war upon mosquitoes, and
after several years Of battling and
expense the end is not yet 1t is now
by perfect cooperation and unity Of
action in every place in the state not
only looking after all the places on
earth where mosquitoes are liable 10
breed, but for the little puddles Of
water in spouts and on roofs.
The commissioners say it can be
done and the papers say it can be
done if the people do not turn a deaf
ear to all the pleading.
Read what the Newark News says:
Mosquito determination will pay
IT. can be done Both the big salt
marsh and the tiny dark house mos
quito can be practically exterminated
1t IS only a question of how much
sacrifice and how much patience the
citizens are willing to devote to the
job
VOW it is safe to conclude that the
cooperative action averred to be nee
essary for the determination of the
pests is among the impossibilities and
that Jersey mosquitoes will be lively
and famous a half-century hence.
It is not pests which get exterminat-
ed in tEis country, but the useful birds
The gypsy moth and the English
sparrow, and the Russian thistle and
the wild carrot, and other noxious
things will be here long after the pres
ent generation has passed away.

FOR BETTER LAWS.

1t would DO as much of calamity
for the country to lose Taft as it would
be for it to enter upon the wild
schemes advocated by the ultrap pro
gressfves.
President Taft fayors the establish
ment at Washington Of a legislative
reference bureau, the duty of which
shall be to revise and perfect bills
which ars to become laws.
1t needs no argument to shew this
il a progressive movement which
means a permanent benefit to all con-
cerned.
DR., Frederick A Cleveland, director
Of President Tafts economy and
efficiency commission, offered strong
argument at the hearing on the bill
introduced by Representative Nelson
0f Wisconsin providing for the estab-
lishmept at Washington Of a legisla-
i've reference bureau. DR.. Cleveland,
IN an effort to discover ways to save
money and at the same time promote
efficiency in the conduct of govern
mental departments, examined stat
utes as well as administrative meth
DDS, and he pointed out bills that, in
his opinion. We're faulty in construc-
ton. In order to get the best posi-
bic results in administration, the doc
tor told the committee it is necessary
that all bills shall be scientifically
3rawn. This can be best accomplished
through the medium of a legislative
reference bureau.
II there is anything which should
be avoided it is loosely drawn and in
effective laws. President Taft has the
judicial mind Colonel Roosevelt said
ne had, and he should be supported in
his endeavor to bring to the highest
efficiency and economy the machinery
OF the government.
