representative Of the people, come in
here and try to put over a deal as
crooked as this proposed sale of the

thing about his desire to be treated
as a gentleman so long as he treated
others as gentlemen.

Truth About Dry Farming.
Farm and Eireeide \

The history of dry farming in the
United States can be summed up in
n sentences: Good crops have been
raised by dry-farm methods where the
rainfall is around fifteen inches per
year, but good crops rarely are raised
under such conditions" ,
This means that under experiment.
all farming, conducted with ample
capital, or having outside sources of
income. or having funds in the bank
to tide them yer the bad years, men
have succeeded in proving the correct
ness Of the theory. It further means
that the average, nay, the great ma
jority Of homesteaders in the semi
arid west do not often reap profitable
harvests.
With several years Of unusual rain

lief (disproved by the records Of the
United States weather bureau) that

rural school administration:
Cubbcrley and Elliott.
THE rural school problem, as we
know it today. is but phase OF the
great rural life problem which has
developed In this country within the
past three quarters of a century. Dur
ing that time a revolution in industry
and living has been effected, resulting
in the development OF a rural life
problem Of great social, educational
and economic consequences. and one
which involves the future OF most of
the cherished institutions OF rural So
ciety. While many Of these changes
may be eventually good in themselves,
they call for a radical reorganization
Of the Institutions OF rural society to
enable them to meet effectively the
new life conditions.
Rural school Suffers.
The rural school has been one OF
the chief sufferers as result OF these
changes. Arising as a distinctly local
and community undertaking. the dis
