Nothing so copyincingly demon
strates to us the tremendous impetus
which has been given to scientific ag-
riculture of late as the crisis" which,
according to the editor of the Farm
and Fireside, is now facing the col
leges of agriculture
He tells about a teacher in a Wes-
tern agriculture college, who has TAX
EN- year off to give a company engag-
ed in development work in the South
the benefit of his almost unequalea
equipment in soil management. He
tells of another expert who has gone
from Western agricultural colleg
TO become farm adviser for an Illinois
company, at a salary Of $4,000 a year
Following is an extract from the edi-
torial
When corn-belt counties are willing
to pay $4,000 year to practical scien-
tific men the field of scientific agricul-
tural work becomes suddenly so ex.
panded that nobody knows where tn.
trained men are coming from to carry
IL on. 1t is so great a war that oul
force of officers becomes too small fol
the enormous armies of volunteers"
The most striking thing to consider
is that this movement for farm educa
ton has but just begun. In few
years when the results of scientif
farm management become manifest
when the pudding shall be proven Il
the eating, when the various leagues
associations, corporations, and looa
associations for the betterment c
farming are able to show that tn
work pays the farmer, that the farm
lars working according to their sugges
tons are actually more successfl
than other farmers, we shall then rea'

THE REAL ISSUE IS GOOD FARMING

The Boil Weevil is a collateral is
sue. After all, the cherished prize is a
higher and wiser standing of farming,
because, there is no permanent pros
perity without a sound agriculture.
The Boil Weevil, coming as a friend in
disguise, warns us into the right
course, if we will be SO prudent as to
prepare. Or. it will scourge us if We
turn a deaf ear to its warning. After
years, Texas has emerged from ths
Boil Weevil scourge, producing moe
cotton at less. cost, with larger profits
than ever in its history. All this, not

withstanding the Boil Weevil is pres
ent there and may forever remain
present Yet the price Of learning to
deal with the Boil Weevil in Texas
meant an actual loss of many, many
millions of dollars Of the state 5
wealth. And the story will never be
known of how men lost their farms
which went as bargains to strangers;
of how Independent land owners be
came common laborers; of how homes
were dissolyed-all because Texas
could not have the warning and lacked
the experience, both of which are av-
ailable to Georgia today.

SINGLE RECEPTION FOR SOUTHERNERS PLANNED BY WlL SON

Pass Christian. Jan. S---Two weeks of secIusion were completed today by President Wilson in this little village. It was the longest period of time he has spent away from Washington since he took office.
 To the people of the string of towns and hamlets along the southern coast the President has been more or less of a puzzle. He said he appreciated their desire to entertain him but has declined their invitations to inspeet schools, view places of historical ifl- terest, attend balls, theatres and those diverse social entertainments of which southern hospitality boasts at this season.
 If he rningIes with the people at all 1t will be at one reception just be- fore he leaves-an event which Rep resentative Harrison is trying to arr range for Saturday at Guifport.

PRESIDENT WILL
 SOON DECIDE UPON
 CANAL GOVERNMENT

Washington. Jan. s.-Early action by President Wilson on the ouestion or permanently or ganizing the gov ernment of the Panama Canal ZoDa and the canal operating force is ex- peoted after his return to Washington next week.
 secretary of War Garrnson mas A.,t,- mftted to the president fun recom- mendations on the sub Ject The secre- tary said yesterday afternoon that nothing remained bur for the presi- dent to act upon them.
 Unless other influences are brought to bear upon the president there win be nothing heard ofiicialiy of the pro- posal that a commission form of gov ernrnent be established on the Canal Zone. It is certain that the orsaniza- ton recommended by the secretary of war provides for a single head Of the Canal Zone government and an oper- ating force for the canal itself.
 One of the most interesting cues- tions, and one on which Mfr Garrison is unwilling to discfose his views, Is whether the governor of the zone is to be civilian Oh a military man. Many believe the secretary favors a military governor.
 Col Goethals is extremely desirous that the administration decide upon a form of permanent government and permit him to go ahead with the or ganization of an operating force. While Col Goethals IS not a candidate for a permanent position on the isth- mus it is known that he hopes he VIII be permitted to be the head Of what ever organization actually opens the canal and operates It through the ex- perimenta1 months

New york. Jan s-Andrew Carne- e4e recently reduced his fortune by e1o,O00, ,00G it became known today in making a gift of that amount to the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust in Dumferline, Scotland
 At a recent meeting of the trus- tees ok this trust the fact was dieclos- ed that Mr. Carnegie's gift of 0,00Q,- poo in bonds of the United States Steel Cooperation, designed for the kund, had been registered in the name of the Carnegie D1mferIine trust which is distributing MT.

 Steps were taken to have the bonds transferred to the United Kingdom trust This means that MT.

AWARD DEMONsTRATEs CAS-
 oIINH AND OIL ECONOMY

< 1 Two of the outstanding results of Ifhe 1914 CadilIac's winning of the De- l war trophy, awarded each year by the Royal Automobile Club Of Great Brit ain to the car demonstrating the greatest achievement toward the ad- vancement of the industry were gaso- line and oil consumption, as revealed in the ,o00-miIe run over give and take roads. 1 In Cadillac literature will be found the statement: Tn the inportant mat-
 ter of Iubrfeation. the Cadillac Is pro-
 vided with an efhcient and econo1at-
 cal system, the oil consumption aver aging from 400 to 500 miles per gall Ion.'s
 l In view Of this ofiicial statemens 1t is inter resting to note that Tn this years Dewar trophy contest the, victorious Cadillacs oil consumption was "A pints for l, ,0o0 miles, which is better than l, ,000 miles per gallon. This extraordinary record is attributed to the extreme accuracy with which the
 pistons and their rings fit within the
 cylinders so that the opportunity for
 the oil to work up into the firing
 chamber is reduced to rnfnimun.
 This is also a factor in practically
 eliminating smoking exhaust and in
 minimizing carbon formation.
 It is also attributed to the accuracy
 with which the feeding Of oil can be regulated 50 that practically none Of it is wasted, all that is used being us- ed for actual lubrfoation purposes. The gasoline consumption for the
 1000 miles of the Dewar contest was III miles per gallon, which Cadillac
 officials believe is another striking
 demonstration of efficiency in general and Of the tgvo-speed direct drive axle in particular An ana1ysis of work ings and accomplishments of this me chanfca1 innovation and the princi-
 pIes involved would be rather teci1ni- cal, but among the claims made was.
 .aThis great reduction of engine speed
 in it's relation to car speed accom-
 pIfshes a material decrease in gaso- line consumption. This is due to the
 fact that with the engine turning over slowly - comparatively speaking-a given quantity of gas is utilized to
 much greater advantage and gener-
 ates much more actual usable power than is possible with the engine turn ing over rapidly. With the Cadillac two-speed direct drive axle, when driving on direct high gear the frfc- ton is reduced an appreciabIe extent because the engine is running at ap- Iproximately 30 per cent. less speed in driving the car a given distance than would be required to drive the car the same distance on the low direct gear. This substantial reduction in friction
 is not only a factor Of consequence in reducing gasoline consunnptfon, but of Intoxicating oil as well.
