have become greatly depleted. Shells
now taken from the overworked beds

Plea For Farm Training.

A strong argument in favor OF teach
ing agriculture in the rural schools
and defending the normal schools Is
advanced by State Rural School Su-
peryisors T. j. Coates and +. c. Button
and State High School Supervisor Nc
Henry Rhoads, who Joined in a state
ment to the press. They declare that
the soil of Kentucky is being depleted
by uuwise systems of cultivation, and
the yield OF her acres is far below
what it should be. 1t is an economic
necessity that agriculture should be
taught in the schools in order to con-
serve the fertility of the soil and to
increase the yield. Some may say
these things will come about without
the schools They will come about
much faster IL the children are trained
properly.
1T is an economic necessity because
the people OF the cities are vitality in
terested in reducing the high cost Of
living. To bring this about the farm
ers must produce more and market
better, knowledge of better methods
will help the farmers.
1T is an economic necessity In order
10 keep more OF our bright boys on
the farm. This can be done only by
the right kind of education. Our
schools now are training the children
away from the farm"

Change in Primary Law.

The bill Of Representative Cary, Of
Mclean county, amending the present
primary election law. passed the
house by the vote OF 6S to 6. The
measure eliminates the necessity OF a
person securing a certain number OF
signatures to a petition before his
name can go on a party ballot for nom
inatlon TO office, merely requiring him
to file a declaration, youched for by
two reputable voters under oath. that
he has the necessary qualifications for
office, and that he supported the nomi-
nees OF the party whose nomination
he is seeking in the last general cleo
ton. IL also makes unnecessary the
holding Of primary election in a dis
