better FARMING TRAIN

(Hy Prof. H. L. Bolley.l

(By Prof. H. L. Bolley.)
was with the Better Farming spe.
cial on the Northern Pacific during
the first two days. The various de-
partments of the college have made a
great effort to have.that train illus
trate in a very systematic name al
most every phase OF work done at the
college. and the work is so we'll done
that II is very difficult to tell which
car is themost beautiful, neatest ar
ranged or which one contains the
most useful information. Indeed. in
every car there is a kind of informa-
ton peculiarly characteristic of a
broad field of work different from that
in every other car.
For this reason no one can enter
any n car without finding something
of interest displayed there. as we'll as
Of value, to him. No farmer living
within 20 miles of q town at which
the train stops can afford to miss the
opportunity of visiting the train. 1t is
essentially the agricultural college On
wheels. If the college work is not we'll
Illustrated there, it is doubtful If we
will ever be able to do the work Of
bringing the college to the people in a
much better form.
Best Efforts Put Forth.
The railroad furnished the cars to
the college several days before the
train left. and each department made
every effort it could to get a fine edu-
cational exhibit installed. 1t is evident
from the large number Of visitors that
entered the train the first day that it
is hardly necessary to call further at
tention to the matter.
However. itmight be we'll to state
that every exhibit is under cover, and
even though it is pouring down rain.
the people can come to The station,
walk into the cars and view the ex-
hihits Just as we'll as though it was a
clear day. Those who. visit the train
during the evening will find it lighted
even more brightly than in daylight.
Therefore. those visiting it during the
day will have Very little advantage
over those visiting it during the night.
Everything is Labeled.
Everything is labeled in such an
extensive, clear-cut manner that If
there We're no people present on the
train. the visitors who read the labels
would go away carrying the essential
facts of the lecturers. There are from
8 to 20 short lectures given on differ
ent subjects in every car at each stop.
Then there is a full hour left for the
visitors to roam about. read the labels,
study the specimens and ask questions
before the engineer gives the four
short, sharp whistles which indicate
that the train is about to leave town.

are paid to the railway station. and in
applying for him it should he stated
whether or not he will be met and his
expenses looked after following his
arrival. If it is desired that other
kinds. of pedigree grain fields be in
spected later. the number of acres and
breed of fax. wheat. oats or other
grain should be stated in the applics-
ton. which should be sent about the
time the grain is beginning to head.
After inspection. if the seed is prop
erly harvested and kept dry, Professor
Bolley will be glad to certify as to
quality and purity. which will help in
the selling of large quantities of pure

Notification should be sent immed-
lately if it is desired that the bronze

Trade With South America.

Of dollars a year in trade by the con-
struction Of the Panama canal" said
Thomas A. Kercheval. Jr., a represen.
tative OF the Progressive union Of New
Orleans. II have Just completed a
seven months trip TO Peru. Colombia
and Ecuador in the interests Of our
people who want to do business with
western South America. You would
be surprised how anxious the people
down there are to trade with us.
0 course. their ways Of doing
business are somewhat different from,
ours. but that Is a matter hat will be
easily worked out. and we do not an
ticipate any trouble along those lines.
I visited all OF the principal cities in
these countries. where l established
headquarters. put out signs and bar.
ners, entertained merchants and Of
ficials. and in return was entertained
at banquets and receptions, and was
treated in fine style by the business
men. officials. the newspaper editors,
who showed great interest in our
move to ecure their trade.
Especially was this true with the
newspaper men in those cities who
realize the benefits that may b. de-
rived by their countries and the Unit

relations. We are spending millions
OF dollars around New Orleans pre-
