TEACH THE BOYS TO FARM.
Penn.yIvanis Institute. Two
year Course in Rural schools.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
We have already drawn attention TO
the necessity for intensive farming in
order to get the best out of the average
farm. We have not exaggerated the
actual waste represented by the hit-or-
miss methods at present pursued by the
average farmer when we placed the
loss OF productiveness at so per cent
1t is quite that and more. The average
potato crop in Pennsylvania is about
so bushels TO the acre. German far
mers are not satisfied II their acreage
does not yield at least 200 bushels. The
average cereal crop in Pennsylvania is
20 bushels per acre. The sorely tried
English farmer aims at 40. And the
same proportion holds true Of most
other crops.
1t is gratifying therefore to receive
word that the State Department Of Ed
ucation has just published its prom
Used general outline for a two-year
course in the subject OF practical agri-
culture for use in seventh and eighth
grade rural schools. The course is ar
ranged according to the sequence of
the seasons and in line with the special
agricultural needs and possibilities of
the various sections of the State. The
care of school grounds and general
sanitation are also to be studied. Veg
etable gardening. for example. will be
emphasized in the mining regions, and
the culture of tobacco will be taught
in places where the noXious but pleas
ing and commercially valuable weed is
grown. A Corn Club for boys will be
a feature. Clubs of this kind have been
very successful in the Vast and South.
and should be equally valuable in
Pennsylvania. Thus. if the agricultural
education of the rising rural popula
tion is properly and scientifically
taught we shall hope to see future
farming class in the State that will
add to its and their own wealth and
prosperity within a generation.

Is Mr.. MaeVeagh Prepared

Treasury officials before long expect
a strong demand upon them from some
of the banks for a larger deposit OF
public moneys. The system whereby
the government absorbs the money OF
commerce and industry and piles 1t
up into a useless surplus is as old as
national banking itself, and bids fair
to continue perhaps until another sharp
crisis. The situation which has thrust
itself into the vacation time OF the Sec
Rotary of the Treasury is brought about
by the annual crop movement. The re-
serves of the banks, particularly in the
East, are showing a tendency to fall be-
low the legal limits, due to heavy loans
in the farming regions, and the bankers
are looking about for means to replenish
their Golfers.
The working balance in the Treasury
Offices has risen in the last few months
to more than 81 100000, and if to this
is added the silver coin on hand the
Treasury has a surplus of something
like S1Io.ooo,oooo. Meantime bank re-
serves have fallen below the legal
limit in the central reserve cities New
York and Chicago, which finance much
/. of the crop movement, and it is only
natural in view of our financial system
to expect a call upon the government
for funds from commercial centers.

gr--s business. and it always has been

Only about S35.oooooo now lies in
the national bank depositaries subject

comparatively small sum.
The annually recurring stringency
and the demand upon the government
to help out with its cash illustrates
again the necessity of providing a sys-
TEN whereby the government shall not
lock up in its vaults the hundreds OF
millions which it withdraws from trade
and commerce, but after paving its
,ow1 expenses should return the bal
ance to the country. Each of the three
parties contending for the privilege Of
running the government the next four
years has admitted in its platform its
'incapacity to deal with this situation.
Col. Roosevelt. foundering about in
-sie unfamiliar field of finance, has add
ed gayetN to the discussion by his re-
