HYLAND VOTES
FOR new SCHOOL

Among those who voted for another
normal school for this state was Sen
ator Hyland Of this county. In the
face of the fact that the cry is justly
made that the state needs no more
normal schools and that the fayme
as well as business men are burdened
wit htaxes now we can hardly see how
Senator Hyland will be able to square
himself with his constituents. BY
aiding in the establishment ofsanother
normal school in this state we consider
that he will do the state more harm
than he can do good the balance of the
session.

New Corn and Cholera.

Hog cholera is not a direct re-
suit of feeding new corn, ac-
cording to E. r. Spence Of the
Missouri College of Agriculture.
It may gain a foothold more
readily if the hogs resistance is
reduced by unwise feeding, but
the disease itself can result only
from infection with a specific,
invisible germ, obtained directly
or indirectly from other hogs.
If the herd is thrown off feed
by eating too much green corn,
or by eating corn that is imma-
ture, the disease will be more
readily contracted and it is Of
ten noted that a new outbreak of
cholera follows the first use of
new corn for hogs. Avoid dam
ger by changing the kind or
amount of feed gradually. Feed
the hogs some new corn for a
while before turning them into
the field. Young shoats may be
turned into corn that is not
down too badly with less prelim-
mary feeding than the older
hogs that can break down the
corn more quickly.

MENTAL TRAINING
FOR FARMER

Forty Per Cent Greater Eff
cheney Shown by the Farmer
Who Has Had More Than Dis
trict School Training.
Is education worth while for
the farmers? A great many in
definite answers have been given
by people who have only their
own opinions and limited obser-
walton. A more definite answer
has Just been given by Professor
o. R. johnson of the Missouri
University College Of Agricul-
ture. Professor Johnson has
carefully studied data, secured
by visits to CSC farmers, 554 Of
whom had only rural school ed
ucatiOn, while the remainder had
secured more or less additional
training. While he recognizes
the fact that this additional
training is not solely responsible
for the better showing made by
the better educated man, there
is every reason to believe that
their additional education has
been a very valuable investment,
from the standpoint of the pock-
et-book as well as that of social
service, which is not SO easily
measured.
The better trained men Sc
cured average labor incomes of
$685. a year or within $110 of
twice as much as those who had
only district school educations.
This labor income is the net re-
turn left after allowing s per
cent interest on the value of the
farm and equipment used and
reasonable charges for other
items. The educated farmer
handled more land of a higher
average value per acre and rent
ed from others only one-ffth of
the farm he operated while the
less educated man rented nearly
twO-ffths. The same general
difference appears not always to
SO great an extent, in the num-
Der of acres handled per man
employed, the number of acres
handled per horse, and the yield
secured per acre.
