FARMING IN FRANCE
Government Giving Attention
to Agricultural Development.
WORK OF Three COLLEGES
System of Banks for Farmers Ben
eft and Cooperative Sales
Agencies Established.

Unusual attention is being paid by the
French government to the development
of agriculture, not only in the great
government schools, but through prac-
teal farm demonstration work, the
breeding of plants and animals the es-
tablishment of agricultural banks and CO.
operative sales agencies among the
farmers.
The State Department, through its dip
lomatic representatives in France, has
been collecting information as to what
the French government has been doing
and is issuing q series of pamphlets on
French agricultural development. One
Of these papers, just issued, deals with
the agricultural schools and sales agen-
cies.
Three Colleges in Operation.
The government operates three great
agricultural colleges, one at Grignon, an
other at Montpelier and a third at
Rennes. These have large farms attached
to them. the one at Grignon being Of
TOO acres. There are at these schools
from 100 to 140 pupils each.
Besides these government operated
schools there are private Institutes ~
agriculture. and on many farms there are
expert agricultural demonstrators. each
taking a limited number Of pupils. who
are instructed in practical farm work.
One of the most important agencies is
purely private. as Is great national agri-
cultural syndicate made up of many
smaller syndicates and societies for the
collection and marketing of all sorts Of
agricultural produce from eggs and vege-
tables to staple cereal crops.
Strict as to Quality.
The syndicates are very strict as to
the quality of produce given them by the
farmers, and II a consignment does not
measure up to requirements the farmer
furnishing it not only loses the value of
the material furnished, but he is fined by
the syndicate for causing it to handle in
fertor produce. The standing of the syn
dictate is based on the excellence of the
material it handles.
The State Department report says:
This systematic organization of agri-
cultural education is one of the greatest
works of the Third Republic. 1t has given
astonishing results. The value OF the an
nual crops in France during the fifteen
wears that have elapsed since this educa-
tional system was introduced has IN
creased by 2,JOO, 600. 600 francs ($jeOOOO
600. This remarkable result Is entirely
due to improved methods Of cultivation
resulting from the educational advan-
tages now enjoyed.

About Courteous Treatment

When a passenger goes to a
railroad train and is met by
an attentive porter who takes
his bag, and a courteous con-
ductor who assigns him to his
seat or berth in a welcoming
tone, his trip has begun pleas
antly.
Later on, when the conduc-
tor comes along and takes up
his ticket as if it were a pleas
ure instead of a duty, he be-
gins to feel that he is in the
hands of friends who have
his welfare and comfort at
heart. And when he meets a
pleasant greeting and has
good meal promptly and deftly
served in the dining car, and
afterward finds some compan-
ionable people in the club car,
he realizes that there is genu-
inc enjoyment in the modern
means of travel.
1t is the constant aim of the
Pennsylvania Railroad man
agement to set and maintain
this standard on its trains. Its
employees are instructed and
trained in the school of civil
ity, courtesy, and good man
ners. AS far as they are con-
cerned, every passenger is on
a pleasure trip, and it is a part
of their duty to lend ali the
aid they can to make it so.
A passenger chooses his
train very much as he does
his hotel, and his patronage
is an asset which increases
with the manner in which it
is cultivated. The manage
ment knows this and its golden
rule is Strive to please"
There is a good deal of
heart in a corporation after
all.
