may be added that the atmosphere of
the period will be enhanced by a Sc

which will be sung in the first act by

two strong roles, which will afford ex-,

school.
1T will be a school in which
farmers boys and girls may
learn all the elementary things
Of agriculture and home-build
ing, housekeeping, sewing and
cooking in three years, cutting
out all the frills that have been
deemed superluous. These stu
dents may continue one year
longer in an intermediate course
and then besready 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 instruc-
ton in agriculture.
"A careful reading of educa-
tional reports and Of the news
papers shows that many States
are accepting this view of agri-
culture and the mission OF the
agricultural college. This is
shown by the fact that agricul-
ture is now being taught in rural
schools and high schools in many
States. This is true of Kansas,
more recently Pennsylvania, and
to a greater or less extent in
Minnesota, North Dakota and
Utah. 1t has found its way into
the normal schools of Kansas,
Minnesota, Missouri and many
other states.
Agricultural training is now
a part.of the course of study in
one half the high schools in
Minnesota, in twenty-five ele-
schools and is being in
troduced in the rural schools"

agriculture Iast B8 Taught On
Or Near The Farm.

In the course Of an informing
and suggestive article in the
current issue of Farm and Fire
side appears the following:
The agricultural colleges of
Wisconsin and Minnesota have
demonstrated to the satisfaction
of most educators that agricul-
ture 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 those it 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
peculiar necessities Of the case
that Kansas has arranged a
secondary school Of agriculture
in which the course of instruction
will be only three years in dura-
ton. This secondary school will
have nothing to do with the
agricultural college proper, and
it will not be a preparatory

Southwestern L0uisiaRa's In
ducement to Settlers.

What result may be expected
in the inducement of immigra-
grafton by cooperative effort Of
the thirteen southwest Louisiana
parishes through an efficient
bureau, is indicated by the re-
suits obtained by commercial
land companies in their exploita-
ton Of the reclaimed lands in
the Delta district.
Scarcely a day passes that the
New Orleans papers do not con-
tai7 some account of the arrival
of parties OF Northern home
seekers and their purchase of
lands. It is interesting to note
the heavy proportion actual pur-
chasers, as compared with that
of similarly organized parties to
the north and northwest.
OF those who visit the Can
adian Northwest looking for
homes scarcely thirty per cent
become actual investors, while
in most northern development
districts forty per cent is o high
average. In Louisiana seventy
five or eighty per cent is a com
mon thing while as high as
ninety-two per cent of some
parties have actually invested
their money and laid their plans
to become citizens Of this state.
It detracts in no wise from the
merits of the delta propositions
for us, who live west of the
Atchafalaya to claim that, FOR
the average settler, we can
offer a wider field Of opportunity
that is there afforded. Our
lands are as fertile and more
diversified in character. Our
transportation facilities, while
capable of improvement, are, in
the main, excellent, and our
social conditions unsurpassed
anywhere in the entire South

What One Man In This Section Raises

On one half acre in the village
Of Estherwood, j. Kollitz, Of
the KolIitz Mercantile Company,
is growing, in luxurious pro-
fusion, products of the soil,
varying from figs, a tropical
fruit, to cabbage, a vegetable
ordinarily associated in thought
with the growth of the drearier
regions Of the north.
Probably nowhere else in the
United States can these two
articles from Natures manufac-
tory be found growing side by
side, surrounded by such other
varying crops as grapes, pecans,
oranges, peaches, plums, pears,
potatoes, Irish and sweet, horse
radishes, tomatoes, peas and
other common garden products
as are here produced.
What Mr.. Kollitz has done on
this small plat indicates the pos
sibilities of the soil. He has
obtained these results in his
leisure moments, yet surround
ing Estherwood are many farm
ers who are buying almost all Of
the products he finds it SO easy
to raise.
From his store he sells every
day hundreds of cans Of
the various articles above men
toned, which the farmer could,
and had he the training and
profitable market, would grow
for himself.

A bachelor Tells Why lie Is
Afraid To Marry.

In the July Woman's Home
Companion appears a letter
written by a bachelor of thirty
to a newly engaged girl who
abandoned a promising literary
career. Some efficient wives
will resent the writer's attitude;
many will admit the truth of
what he says. A part Of the
letter follows:
You have probably chosen as
difficult a career as the one you

doesn't put it that way. For in
the Wife's job the standards of
