ON. lt u perfectly natural, then, that
we should rush to the legislative bodies
and ask them to do something. These
Legislative bodies have elected to have
agriculture universally taught, and the
only persons In sight to teach 1t, with
here and there an exception. are the
young women who make up the major
portion OF our public school teachers.
They are all to be prepared by 1915 to
teach agriculture and to turn the tide
away from the cities and back to the
farms. If we had that sense Of humor
for which we used to be noted, we
would laugh at most Of this: but for
the teachers 1t Is serious matter, and
equally serious for those whose busi-
ness 1t is to prepare these young wo-
men for this arduous task.
Ought it not to be clear to anyone
of common sense that If we are to
teach agriculture in any effective way
we must have teachers who can really
teach it; and that in order to teach it
as it ought to be taught there must
demonstrative work? Have we not put
not have been the part OF wisdom to
not the ends sought could be accom-
plished by this wholesale dumping of
an agricultural curriculum into every
public school in the state? For our
part, we believe. that the teaching Of
agriculture as decreed by the Thirty
fifth general assembly will be farce.
If agricultural education needs to be
brought nearer home, as it were, q
a H. II
conducted along simple and proper
lines, would accomplish far better re-
suits than an attempt to do something
in every school. Congress has recently
enacted legislation which ultimately
have expert advisers in nearly every
county in the country, who will visit
farmers and discuss with them ways
and means of increasing the productiv-
ity Of their land, and help them to solve
other problems. 1t would seem that
such legislation will do far more than
this wholesale addition to an already
overcrowded public school Curriculum.

vain hope that tho old times would

come to Burlington from Ohio or In.

mate in such points. But with the
old bed OF the river itself producing
harvests OF incalculable value, the sit
uation will be entirely different. The

anywhere on the river today the be-
holder is almost within sight Of drain
age enterprises. either under way or
to be under way in the very near fu-
ture. And the dixie and the big pump
are going to do more for the new de-
velopment of the Mississippi, than the
enthusiasts have accomplished with
speeches and resolutions in a half cen

along at marvellous rate. The new
era on the river is almost here.

WHO PAYS FOR ROADS?
Huntington Hawkeye.l


A gain, there is talk Of government
aid in the permanent improvement OF
country roads. That is not new prop
osition. 1t was thrashed out in con-
gress some twenty years ago. and moth
ing came of it. Perhaps the present bill
has better prospects Opinions differ.
Many believe in aid by the federal gov
eminent Others believe in state aid.
When the government helps, who shall,
say how much the government shall
contribute or why the government
should not improve and maintain all
the roads. Even that has been argued
because the government needs these
roads for the rural carriers. 1t Is the
same thing with state aid The state
does not know where to begin or how
much TO do. and of course, il there is
to be such a thing as state aid, the
counties will be quite willing to let the
state get busy early and do it all.
After all. few people seem to con-
slider the fact that the United states
government has no other sources OF
income beyond the power Of taxing the
people. And the state of Iowa has no
other source OF revenue than its right
to levy taxes. Hence. whether the ma
tional government help or the state
help. or the county get busy and do the
work Itself in the end it will amount
to identically the same thing. The
people will have to foot the bills. And
after all 1t matters little out OF which
pocket they take the money.
1t is to be hoped that the government
aid plan and the state aid plans may
not interfere with the work that has
actually been planned. The fact has
been recently pointed out that at a
very small increase over the present
rate Of taxation we could make per-
manent Improvements instead Of tenn
porary Improvements. and get out Of
the mud
No matter who does the work the
people will eventually have to pay for
II and perhaps the people will be bet
ter satisfied. If the doing of the work
is left 20 the respective counties, than
II the national government or the state
government take hand in the game.
The main thing however. Is 10 get the
real roads. And how we get them.
matters little, after all. as under all
possible conditions, the people will have
to foot the bill.

THE OLD coTToNwooDs.

When a boy. the writer helped his
father plant some cottonwood trees
tiny saplings of about a foot in
length including the sprangle of roots.
Thru drouthy years and days OF grass
hoppers they slowly grew Today they
are monarchs of the valley where they
stand, towering, tall and fine. The
writer is very fond OF those trees, cot
tonwoods tho they are. and he never
visits them without feeling like hug
ging their rough bodies. The passing
breeze seems to give them voices OF
the past-the dear past Of departed
boyhood.

AGRICULTURE IN THE SCHOOLS.

Iowa enacted some legislation that is
giving school men Of the state no end
of anxiety. Reference Is had to the
provision which requires that by 1915
large proportion Of the teachers OF
the state must be prepared to pass an
examination in agriculture and do
mestic science, and that these subjects
must be taught in our schools. 1t Is an
America habit the minute some need
is suggested, to call upon some legis-
