what 1t 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
to keep more OF our bright boys on
the farm. This can be done only by
the right kind OF education. Our
