AGRICULTURE
TAUGHT ON OR
NEAR FARM

In the course of an informing and
suggestive article in the current is
sue of Farm and Preside appears the
following:
The agricultural colleges OF Wis
consin and Minnesota have demon
strated to the satisfaction of most
educators that agriculture must be
taught on the farm or as near the
farm as possible. The idea is being
carried out in several counties in
Kansas where the high schools have
become, in fact, little agricultural
colleges. In these 1t Is possible for
the fathers as well as their sons and
the mothers and daughters to obtain
the instruction needed In their work.
1T was in recognition OF the pecu-
liar necessities Of the case that Kan
sas has arranged a secondary school
of agriculture in which the course OF
instruction will be only three years
in duration. This secondary school
will have nothing to do with the ag-
ricutural college proper, and it will
not be preparatory school.
1T will be a school in which farm
ers boys and girls may learn all the
elementary things of agriculture and
home building, housekeeping sewing
and cooking in three years, cutting
out all the frills that have been deem
ed supernuous. These students may
continue one year longer in an inter
mediate course and then be ready to
enter the agricultural college. They
will have learned in the secondary
school the things they would have
studied in the high school, and yet
to that high school course has been
added expert instruction In agricul-
ture.
"A careful reading of educational
reports and of the newspapers shows
that many states are accepting this
view Of agriculture and the mission
OF the agricultural college. This is
shown by the fact that agriculture is
now being taught in rural schools
and high schools in many states. This
is true of Kansas, more recently Penn
sylvania and to greater or less ex.
tent In Minnesota, North Dakota and
Utah 1t has found its way into the
normal schools OF Kansas, Minneso-
ia Missouri and many other states.
Agricultural training is now a
part Of the course OF study in one
half OF the high schools in Minneso,
ia, in twenty-five elementary schools
and is being introduced in the rural
schools"

BOYS TEACH
THEIR FATHERS
HOW TO FARM

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears an article showing
the progress of boy corn growers in
Hamblen county, Tennessee, where
prizes were offered by business men.
Fifty-two boys entered the contests
in 1912 and secured an average yield
per acre of ninety-one bushels. The
highest average yield in Hamblen
county has been twenty-five bushels,
and the average for the state twenty
six. The boys obtained their inform
alton from the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Following is an
extract from the article;
At meeting Of the boys early in
the spring turned to an old gentle
man sitting near by, at the conclu-
sion of an address by one Of Uncle
Sans demonstration agents, and ask
ed, What do you think Of it? referr-
ing to the experts explanation or the
new method of raising corn. Sounds
fine. he replied, and looks good on
paper, but it won't work out on the
farm. I've been raising corn all my
life and I think I know a. thing or
two about farming. However, If my
boy wants to try it, he can have any
piece of ground I've got and / will
help him, for I want him to have a
chance at everything good that comes
along. II he raises more corn on one
acre than do on Ave, I'll admit that
my father, grandfather and | were
all wrong and begin farming the boy S
way.
"The old gentleman's boy secured
the third largest yield in the county
this year and at an average cost OF
only fifteen cents per bushel, on up
land. I saw the father the other day
and reminded him OF our former con.
versation. He had learned the les
son and enthusiastically told me OF
his plans for the coming year."

were carried in the express car.
Passengers on the train awoke in
surprise this morning to find their
coaches still standing on the main
line of track where they were aban-

mail and express cars.
Express officials here say the rob-

two famous stars on bench duty
and have assisted materially Old

During late years Lajoie has been
partly obscured by a rising young
