and reaction between the IL OF
the school and the life Of The coll-
munity in which the school IS 10
Gated. The underlying prIncspies
of every interest IN the comlnCn-
ity should be studied III the
schools Of that community, as
having, a direct bearing on these
interests.
uf our farmers would study the
properties and contents OF their
soil more carefully and give their
soil the proper treatment sclen-
tifically, they would make better
crops. Louisiana is endowed by
nature with a very fine soil ana
it falls to the part Of the corn
planter to bring the crop forward.
The corn average in this State was
from Is to 20 bushels per acre,
but the demonstration average
was from 35 to 40 bushels. 1t
shows the possibility, when brain
is added to muscle. With her
soil Louisiana should jump from
3S,000,0O0 to 70,000,00O bushels.
Technical knowledge helps, for
science is only organized common
sense. Corn growing should be
taken up in systematic way.
Corn Judging is the first step. A
farmer has to know what good
corn is before he can raise it. BY
breeding he can continue to grow
good corn and he can then select
the best varieties and learn to
cultivate so as TO make the most of
the best kind and perpetuate ST.
premacy.
Corn is king in the United
States and some day the South
will be king in corn production.
For any section of the country
to confine to agricultural efforts
to the raising of single crop is
economically wrong. This fact
has been born in, on the minds of
Southern planters, through con-
ditions brought about by the wal
in a more forceful and convinc-
ing fashion than they could have
been made to realize through
argument. In the northwest the
tendency has been to confine agri-
culturSi energy to the raising of
wheat. ], This is just as economical
ly unsound as It is for the South
to rely for it's support upon cot
ton. But fortunately for the farm
ers in the northwest existing con-
ditions are more favorable for the
sale Of cotton. Consequently the
northwest great supply of
wheat has brought unushtl pros
perity to that section. :
What the department Of agrl-
culture is trying to do most is to
impress upon the agrid dalturists
if the various sections of the coun-
try the necessity OF dlvers1fvnc
their crop to such IN extent, that
each section will be s~lf-support.
ing in anv emergency which may
arise.
Until quite recently the
thought of the people Of the Unit
ed States principally has been
directed towards the upbuilding
of cities.
The time as come when the
policy of neglecting agricultural
life must be changed. The pros
perity of the country may he said
to depend upon the effecting Of
this change.
l conclusion I will saw that tho
day Of the old time farmer is
passed and the dav Of the seiep-
tific agriculturist is here-and is {
here to stay.

EDUCATIONAL BUDGET FILED
Normal Board Bases Figures on AbOii-
ton of School at Albion

BOISE, Jan. 9.-The budget for the
maintenance of the six educational in
stitutions which are under the super
vision of the State Board of Education,
calling for a total appropriation OF
$S26,790 as against $796,642 appropri-
ated for the same institutions two
years ago, was filed today with Fred
L. Huston, secretary of the State Board
of Examiners.
In making up this budget, the board
has followed out it's plan for abolish
ing the Albion Normal School, and en-
larging the. Pocatello Academy into a
college if the present legislature
proves to be willing. Therefore, it is
asked that only twenty thousand dos
lars be provided for the normal, which
is deemed sufficient to carry it through
the balance Of the present school
year.
The bill will probably be introduced
at an early date.

WASHINGTON Jan. 9.-Democrats

speech as an announcement of his
candidacy for reelection. The DEM
ocrats have said that the single term
plank in the Baltimore platform should
be brushed aside to clear the track for
him.
In discussing the Mexican situation,
the president referred to his belief that
he knows the temperament and prin-
ciples of the American people, and
said: "There may come a time, when
the American people will have to judge
whether l know what l am talking
about or not"
Following a slight pause, there was
an outburst of applause, and realizing
the construction which had been put
on his words, the president held up his
hand for silence and said:

That was merely preparatory to say.

The presidents advocacy of a fed
