The Life That Counts.

The life that counts must toll and light
Must hate the wrong and love the right
Must stand for truth. by day, by night
This is the life that counts.
The life that counts must hopeful be;
In darkest night make melody;
Must wait the dawn on Blended knee
This is the life that counts.
The life that counts must aim 10 rise
Above the earth to sunlt skies,
Must fix its gaze on Paradise
I This is the life that counts
The life that counts must helpful be:
The cares and needs of others see.
Must seek the slaves of sin to free
This is the life that counts.
The life that counts is linked with God;
And turns not from the cross-the rod;
But walks with JOY where Jesus trod-
This is the life that counts.

The director of Highmoor farm,
Charles d. Woods, sets right those
who have held mistaken beliefs con-
corning this experiment station.
To some, he says it seems as though it
should be run as demonstration farm"
to show the best way of growing and eX-
hibiting crops. Others have seemed to
think that il should be run as a model
farm with the primary object of show
ing that farming is a profitable business.
While both of these objects are held III
mind by the director of the Maine Agri-
cultural Experiment Station in planning
the work upon the farm, they are kept
strictly subordinate to the purpose named
in the law providing for the purchase
of a farm on which to conduct scientific
experiments" The language of the act
is plain upon this point: 'The Maine
Agricultural Experiment station in add
dition TO the Investigations now con-
vestigations in orcharding, corn and
other farm crops, and TO this end there
shall be purchased in the name of the
State, stocked and equipped for the use
of said station, a suitable farm situated
as the committee on purchase herein
after named shall determine in any
counties in the State of Maine. The
director of the Maine Agricultural tx
pertinent Station shall have the general
supervision, management and control of
said farm and all Investigations thereon. ("
