There are many agencies at work
these days having for their object to
improve the conditions of the farm.
er and to make farm life more at
tractive. Never before has agricul.
ture been studied as science to
such an extent as at present. How
to increase the yield of crops, i'm.
prove the quality, maintain the fertil.
ity of the soil, develop better breeds
of farm animals and kindred sub
jects, are discussed not only by farm.
ers, but by bankers, merchants,
statesmen and men in other profes.
sions. Agriculture is recognized as the
basic jadustry on which the prosper
ity Of the nation rests. The state
ana national governments recognize

ing tons and tons of agricultural buI
letins, and other activities, to disse
inmate knowledge among the people
upon all branches of farming. The
agricultural bulletins issued by the
government and distributed free, are
many of them, very valuable. Nc
farmer who wants to learn about his
business and to improve his condi
tons, need wander in the dark when
there is so much light diffused on the
subject of agriculture all around The
Sheaf also in a small way is trying
to, be helpful to the farmers by pub
fishing each week matters of special
interest to them. We consider it our
duty to do this And we are pleased
to say that we can see as the result
of the various efforts to spread ag
ricultural Information, remarkable
improvement in farming methods in
the Red River Valley as well as in
the whole Northwest during the past
decade.

Minnesota, the Home Of Opportunity

The state immigration department
is circulating crop statistics for 1918,
provided by the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, which make
a striking exhibit of Minnesota's pre-
eminence in agricultural production.
Though other states may be plagu-
ed by drought and damaging climatic
extremes, Minnesota fares her pros
porous way, with moisture ample but
never too great, with wholesome win
ter cold and crop-fostering summer
warmth each in it's own place and
performing it's own work, with fer
tile soil and steady climatic condi-
tons conspiring with human indus
try and enterprise to produce an an
nual and certain abundance Of wealth
from the willing earth.
The statistics quoted by the immi-
grafton department show that in a
group of states including Iowa, Illi-
nois, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Indiana,
Ohio, Wisconsin and Michigan, Min
nesota's average yield of corn, forty
bushels, was equalled only by Wis
consin and exceeded by none; that
its average yield of oats, thirty eight
bushels, was equaled by no other
state in the group; that its average
yield of rye. nineteen bushels, was
eQualed by no other state; that its
average yield of potatoes, ITO bushels
was reached by no other state; that
its average yield Of hay, one and a
half tons was exceeded only by Wis
consin with 1.62 tons, and equaled by
no other state and that its yields OF
| wheat, barley and hay compared ia.
| vorably with the best yields among
these states
What these figures mean may be
demonstrated more clearly by brief
calculation
A farmer in Illinois, tilling an acre
worth three hundred dollars, got last
year twenty seven bushels OF corn
worth at seventy cents 1880; or q
little over six per cent gross on his
investment.
| A farmer in Minnesota, tilling q
hupdred-dollar acre, got forty bushels
Of corn worth twenty-eight dollars
or twenty-eight per cent on his In
/ vestment.
In other words the Minnesota
corn-grOwer made more than fou1
times as much on his investment al
the Illinois corn-grower.
Add to these startling figures thu
fact that in no state In the Un1o1
are the opportunities to get goo(
land on reasonable terms so great al
they are in Minnesota, and then le
the news go forth to those who hav'
followed the glittering bauble Of emp
ty promises to distant fields, an.

A New Program for the Supervision
Of School Buildings in Min
neSota.
1RY s. a Challman ]

= IL.
That school boards are responsible
not only for the intellectual advance
ment of the children in our public
schools, but for their physical and
moral welfare as well, has long been
recognized and is now quite general
" accepted. The degree. however,
10 which this responsibility extends
is only gradually being realized. as
we come to learn Of the conditions
that affect the progress and develop
nent of our children So many con
ditions are in one way or another
yohed with the arrangement and
equipment of the building itself, that
unless this is made to serve the best
physical and moral ends, it cannot
promote the best intellectual deyel-
opment. For this reason the legis-
lature at its last session made provi-
sion for the examination and APPROX
al of school house plans, before
buildings are constructed or CON
tracts let.
AS result of this law the Super
intendent of Education has appointed
a State Commissioner of School
Buildings who will devote his time
to the problems connected with the
construction of school buildings. His
work will consist in Incorporating in
to the plans and specifications of
buildings and building sites the right
full demands of childhood for
!. School rooms of ample size, ad-
equately and properly lighted, hy-
CHEMICALLY ventilated and satisfac-
torily heated;
/ b of
equipment and number, that neat
ness, cleanliness and comfort may be
promoted;
8. Sanitary indoor or outdoor tot
( lets with facilities for the washing Of
hands, constructed so as to secure
privacy and to combat the spreading
of disease;
4. Clean and adequate Fairgrounds
equipped with such apparatus as will
induce heathful play;
5. Pure water under such condi-
tons and with such means as will
enable the children to secure it free
from contamination:
6. Comfortable and hygienic seats
in school rooms:
Z. Suitable library facilities for
every school;
s. The possibility for interior deco
ration which will add to enjoyment
and pleasure of school attendance;
8. An external appearance of the
school building, devoid of cheap or
namentation, but beautiful and at
tractive in it's design, and surround
ed by well kept school grounds:
10. A building which will provide
safe exits in case of fire:
II. Facilities and means for indus.
trial work for both boys and girls in
buildings wherever these opportuni.
ties should be given; 4
| -. A school plant that will take
into account the growing needs of
the community and the increasing
demands Of public school ieduca-
! ton. -
AS many of these conditions can
only be met by persistent work along
the lines indicated, and as improve
ments can be made but gradually, it
! is evident that this new task impos-
| ed on the State Department of Edu-
cation, which is the first of it's kind
in the United States, will carry with
it heavy responsibilities These re
sponsibilities will affect the intellec.
tual, physical moral, social, and
| economic welfare of our children.
Our hope is that we may not miss
the mark in any of these particulars
