Agricultural Education.

We hope the time will come when
the boy on the farm vii get a prac-
teal agricultural education In the
township or in the county. Some
states are adopting this method.
notably Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Some Of our public schools are lay
ing the foundations for this sys-
TEN by teaching the common BRAN
ches in the spirit of the farm and
imbuing the children, both boys and
girls, with love of farm life. This
will be supplemented in time by a
country high school, which will give
the boys and girls good deal of
what is now taught at the short
course at the agricultural colleges
and at the short courses of the ex-
tension department in the different
counties Of the state.-Wallaces

the practice of trespassing on its
lines, the Pennsylvania System is
now preparing to conduct an even
more aggressive campaign during
1912. Tracks will be re-posted with
warning notices, the enactment of
stringent laws will be requested,
and every officer and employee of the
railroad system will be asked to lend
his assistance to decrease still fur
Their the number of deaths resulting
from trespassing on property of the
Pennsylvania System, including the
Pennsylvania Railroad Lies East of
Pittsburg, the Long Island Railroad,
Cumberland Valley Railroad, Balti-
more, Chesapeake & Atlantic Rail-
way, Maryland, Delaware & Virginia
Railway, Pennsylvania Lines West
of Pittsburg, Vandalia Railroad,
and the Grand Rapids & Indiana
Railway.
Discussing the dangers of trespass
ing, an officer of the Pennsylvania
said: 1.-THE Railroads may be penal
lied by payments in money, but the
individual or citizen s penalty is
the supreme one Of life, which,
manifestly, it is the highest duty
of the State to protect by such legis-
lation as will tend to prevent tres
passing on railroads. The renewed
and diligent efforts the Pennsylvania
Railroad is making to stop trespass-
ing will be measurably influential,
the Management believes, in arous-
ing the public to a realization that
in railroad accidents it is the in
dividual who loses his life, than
which there can be no greater sacra-
fice."

In connection with the present
agitation for a big ship canal to
connect Lakes Michigan and Erie
via natural waterways of Northern
Indiana which finds its most active
and persistent supporters in Fort
Wayne, the following is of especial
interest:
Indiana s interest in canals dates
back to territorial days. In 1918
Jonathan Jennings, first governor
of the state, appealed to the legis-
lature to take up the subject of a
comprehensive system of canals and
roads. The Wabash and Erie canal
was the first project. 1t began as a
federal enterprise to connect Lake
Erie with the Wabash river. and in
1924 congress provided for the sur
vey. Congress had granted to the
state B per cent on the sale of pub
lie lands to be used as canal and
road fund.
In 1882, thirty-two miles Of the
canal were under contract, two
years later loan of 100000 was
authorized for the completion of the
canal and survey from Logansport
to the mouth of the Tippecanoe
river was ordered.
Ohio was slow to take up its part
of the work but in 1884 the Indiana
Legislature offered to give up claims
to canal lands in Ohio, which con-
gress had granted to Indiana Ohio
accepted the terms of this relin-
punishment and in 1886 let the con-
tract for its part of the canal.
In Indiana the first ground was
broken at Fit. Wayne, Feb. %, 1929.
Two years later small part had
been finished and the first cana,
boat had been launched On the
Fourth of July, 1888, the first Sec
ton from Fit. Wayne to Huntington
was opened. 1t was 30 miles long
and cost $233,OOO. Wabash was
reached July 4, 1887 and the section
between Wabash and Peru was
opened to its original terminus, the
Tippecanoe. The great public i'm
Iprovements bill of 1886 provided for
an extension from the mouth of the
Tippecanoe to Terre haute, at a
cost of $1,500,0O0. The first section
to Lafayette was completed July 4.

but the most encouraging results will
follow from methods such as have
been proven by experiments. The
custom has been to SOW grass with
wheat in the autumn and to SOW
clover when that Is used on the wheat
land early in the spring. This may
be good plan but cannot be relied
upon.
After the wheat Is harvested, long
hot summers give the young grass
or clover plants hard struggle.
To make the growing Of grass most
profitable, separate preparation Of
land and separate sowing of the grass
seed in the late summer or early fall
after the removal of the wheat crop,
Is by far the most promising method.
AS soon as possible after the cutting
of the wheat, the stubble should be
disc narrowed and the surface put In

inches deep and should be occasion.

INSTRUCTIONS TO HAY INSPEC-

1t is the opinion Of a large majority
Of shippers that inspectors are too
technical and stringent in the grad
ing Of No. l Timothy. Good
color" should not be construed to
mean the same as bright, natural
color" as used in describing Choice
Timothy. The words good color"
should not exclude hay with brown
blades if in all other respects it Is
good enough for No. Timothy.
Neither should these words exclude
hay with slightly brown heads if in
other respects good enough for No. /
Timothy.
Inspectors should always bear in
mind that they should be arbitrators
between buyer and seller, and that
they should not unfairly favor either,
even though one Is present and the
other is not.

COMMON WEEDS IN HAY.
Raymond oIney, Of M. Rumely Com.
pany.

National Crop Improvement Service.l
A considerable proportion Of the
mowings of hay are infested with
weeds of different kinds. Among the
most common and troublesome are the
common white and yellow daisy, wild
carrot, sorrel, dock, buttercups, the
common plantain, dandelions, milk
weed, ragged robin and horsetail. The
methods to keep them in subsection
must be quite different in details for
the different weeds, but in general it
may be said that, IL the soil is kept
sweet by sufficient use of lime, and
well enriched, the conditions will be
made so favorable for the growth OF
the better grasses and the clovers that
the weeds will have relatively little
chance.
The grasses and the clovers, in the
struggle for existence which is always
going on in the meadows, will prove
victorious. If weeds have a strong
growth the only method is to reseed.
