Food Supply and Population.
To make It possible for the people
of the United States to raise, clothe
and feed future generations, we must
change our system of agriculture. We
cannot depend upon Uncle Sam for
any more land, and the only method
III which we can keep the United
States on the map is to make two
blades of grass grow where only one
grew before.
During the last decade the popula-
ton of the United States increased 25
per cent. During the same period the
production of beef in the United
States fell off % per cent
A few years ago 1t cost the labor
ing man S52.O5 for his yearly supply of
meat-today the same number of
pounds of meat cost $85.05, an in
crease of $4,000.
In view of this what shall we do?
careful analysis shows that we
need more fertile fields, or rather
fields with greater fertility.
We need larger and better herds.
We need better roads.
We need larger bank accounts.
We need better homes.
We need better citizenship.
How can all this be done?
Perhaps no one thing will do more
to secure these things than growing
alfalfa.
If that is true, why haven't we been
growing alfalfa?
Because we thought it was impos-
sible.

A Letter from the
State Supt. OF School,

The following letter has been sent
eut by state superintendent %
Schools Payson Smith, 10 the super
intendent of schools in each town and
city within the State:
According 10 the returns made by
the superintendent of schools, this
year, there were reported 26l5 persons
of compulsory school age, who were
out of school. last year, without the
consent of school authorities. These
figures are practically the same as
these reported for the preceding year.
beg to call your especial atten
ton To this figure particularly in con-
nectien with a study of the condition
Of illiteraey in the State. The Unit
ed States census bureau reported in
| 1890 that there We're 25,5S7 illiterates
in Maine, 80 per cent. of the total
population. In 1900 the same bureau
reported that there We're $4,000 Hit
crates, representing 81 per cent. of the
total population. In the United States
census report just published for 1910
there are shown to be in Maine "a
554 iuiterates, representing 3.2 per
cent. of the population.
tion in illiteracy for the decade end
ing in 1910. OF course, the public
schools cannot be held responsible for
the entire percentage of illiteracy since
portion of ii is due to immigration
into the State of adults, who are be-
yond the influence of the public school
system. on the other hand there is n
serious responsibility resting upon the
school to prevent illiteracy in the flu
ture by extending its present influ
ence in every possible way. The CON-
pulsory school age represents the pc
Rod when the school authorities have
control of the child's education. TO
permit children to remain out of
school without excuse during the peri
Cd is to increase the danger of a fu-
ture uneducated citizenship.
VIII you kindly go over the figures
in your own reports and urge the SUI
perintending school committee of your
town to cooperate with YOU in reduc-
ing materially this number of persons
who are failing to receive the benefits
of the public school within the period
established for compulsory attend
ance?"
