post card several days ago bear.
ing the following message:
Electrical appliances have super
seeded steam,
The old style sailing ship is now
a passing dream;
We ride in horseless carriages
and imagine we are it;
Our women wear silk stockings
and never learn to knit;
We have our wireless telegraph
and sail through land and sea
And play electric pianos and
never touch a key.
The old style stomach ache is
appendicitis now;
We use both milk and butter
that never saw a COW;
Progression is the watchword,

stay,
But DR.. Stork delivers in the
same old-fashioned way.-Jack

TALK TO FARMERS
By Capt. 7. F. Peck, Commissioner OF Agriculture

the farm to public works has re.
duced production of food stuffs,
and prices have climbed upward.
While the bulk Of farmers con-
tinue their haphazard methods a
few scattered over the State
were ready for the high prices
and are prospecting, and their
methods are attracting atten-
ton. People are learning that
the progressive farmer is sue
ceeding and making money be-
cause he has that thorough and
intimate knowledge Of his work
that the man must have who
succeeds in manufacturing, bus
mess or mining.
The people of the country are
just beginning to wake up to the
fact that agriculture to be sue
cessfully practiced requires in
telligence and energy and that
it offers a reward commensurate
with the intelligence and ener-
gy given it. We need not be
surprised to see the brightest
and brainiest young men equip
themselves for agricultural pur-
suits because the independence
the healthfulness together with
the possibility for greater profit,
can not fail to appeal to them.
With our agriculture develop
ed as it should be, the wealth of
! the United States Will be in
creased many fold. European
countries have passed through
the haphazard experience. We
are now beginning, to recover
from, but that was many years
ago ane we can learn many valu.

the time is here when these sub
jects are making themselves felt
in way that will insure then

participate in the benefits.
Agriculture as a vocation will
take its proper place. No mar
will be ashamed to admit that

Importance of agricultural edu

Xenophon, who lived about
four hundred years before Christ,
said: agriculture is an art
that renders those who under
stand it rich, but leaves those
who do not understand it, how
ever much they may labor in it,
to live in poverty"
The same can be said with
equal force today. Those who
understand agriculture and put
in practice the knowledge are
making money. Those who
farm and do not understand it.
are eking out.an existence.
The trouble with us has been
that too many of us thought any
fool could be a farmer. If we
have bright boy Of great prom
Use, we must train him for pro-
fession. We lost sight of the
fact that all professions and vo-
cations grew out Of the needs of
the farmer.
When this country was settled
up, land was rich and cheap,
and slave labor was available.
1t did not require much know
ledge to get profitable crops and
no thought was given to keeping
up the fertility Of the soil. In
time the most fertile land was
put in cultivation, was cropped
year after year with no thought
Of ANYTHING but immediate re.
turns: gradually the volume Of
crops reduced. Then the war
deprived-the planters of their
slave labor.
Development Of timber and
mineral resources took other la
Dor away from the farm. The
owners at last realized that they
must rebuild their soil. Science
has demonstrated that it can be
done and that people have never
had any definite idea Of the pos
sibilities Of the production when
given the intelligent manage.
ment they should have.
Brainy men have decided that
any fool cannot make a farmer
they have decided that agricul.
ture opens field of greater op.
portunities than in any other
field. With this knowledge il
coming greater respect for the
agriculturist. The caracaturist
will seek other subjects than the
"Hayseed and Country Bump
kin" for his ridicule.
This awakening was natural
and was brought about by natur
al development. The tide from

this tip that he will step down Is no

as much good as the adviser of his sue

has many years yet to run. but that will
