TRIBUTE TO ANGL0.SAX0NS
Sublime Chapter in History Of
Man, Says Paris Editor.

Paris, April 20.-The acts Of heroism
on the Titanic are taken as the theme OF
editorials in the leading French news.
papers, which declare that the narrative
thereof will go down In history as one OF
the sublimest chapters in the annals OF
mankind. The stories Of the survivors
have profoundly impressed the French
people. and the overwhelming nature Of
the disaster, with the suffering and
heroism depicted, overshadow all other
interests here.
The Temps tonight devotes long
article of homage TO the Titanics heroes.
It says:
"The whole world has been stirred to
the soul by the grandeur Of the acts ot
resignation Of the passengers. We ses

demonstration farms, and the National
Corn Exposition. AS head Of the e1-
tension department of Iowa State Col
lege of Agriculture he did a work
which, Senator Cumm1ns says, up to
the present time has increased the
wealth OF Iowa $30,000,OoO.
The object of the H c Service Bu-
feau is the promotion Of agricultural
education. and a cooperation which
will tend to raise the whole tone Of
commercial, industrial and farm life.
Since agriculture is the basis of pros.
perity and progress, naturally farm
problems claim first attention. The aim
Is higher efficiency, both on and OF
the farm.
TO do big work a big organization
h necessary. Not only the bigness.
but the perfection OF the International
organization as we'll appealed to Pro
lessor Holden. The big general agen-
cies, scattered all over the United
States and Canada the statesmen,
travellers and expert machine men:
the 10000 dealers one, so far
as possible, is to be made an apostle
o< better farming.
For years the International Har.
Vester Company has realized the I'M
portance of service. It has spent mil
lions Of dollars in the perfection of la
eor-saVlng machines, and now the
company is going in for direct service
direct to the farmers. and direct to
oe farmers children, that the men
and women Of tomorrow may be more
capable and so more prosperous than
the men and women of today
1t is no longer theory that II we
are to get the most out Of life we
must raise more per acre. "Inten-
sive farming" is in the air It is the
battle cry of peace and plenty. But
raising more is the result Of mind,
not muscle. We must know And
not only that, We must know We
know. and know why we know. We
must know good seed from bad, right
cultivation from wrong, and the why's
and wherefors Of climates, soils,
fruits, cattle, horses, poultry, and SO
forth.
For these things the bureau was
established. But the bureau and
Professor Holden see more than an
average increase of a few bushels.
They see time coming when farmers
will raise twice as many bushels of
corn, wheat and oats to the acre,
and like yields Of all other kinds OF
farm products. They see a time when
farmers and farmers wives and their
children will think more and work
less. Every bushel raised means just
that much profit, and the profits Of
the farm promote commerce and in.
dustry.
After a period of good work in Mich.
igan agricultural college, better work
at Illinois, and great work at Iowa,
Professor Holden now enters upon q
worlds work. While in future Pro-
fessor Holden will designate Chtcaxo
