OLD AND NEW FARMING.
Organization of a National AgricuI-
tural Society Marks an Epoch.

Going to the city of New York to or
ganize a national agricultural society
and holding the meeting in a smart
hotel may strike surviving members
of the old Society of Changers with
surprise, but the farmer has been
such progressive In things pertaining
to his business that he has lost that
sense of eXclusiveness which once In
fluenced his thinking concerning great
centers Of population, says the st.
Louis GlObe-Democrat Still, In the
mass the farmer is not nearly as pro-
gressive as he can and will be made,
according to former Secretary of Agri-'
culture Wilson, who was elected as
first president of the National Agricul-
tural society. Mr. Wilson knows about
all that can be known of practical
farming under both old and new condi-
tions, and his address at the New York
meeting shows him highly capable of
doing the thinking needed to fit the
majority Of farmers to present condi-
tons and prepare them for new condi-
lions Of the future. Pointing out that
continuing improvement in environ
ment and living conditions of all class
eS is necessitating larger incomes for
all those dependent upon returns for
labor, he insisted that the inevitable
increase in labor cost in all industrial
lines must be met by greater efficiency
toward increasing the capacity of labor
for the production of larger product
and for the avoidance Of waste both of
labor and material. By this means in
creased production can be made TO
more than offset it's increased cost.
Agriculture he said, sis the greatest
productive industry, the fundamental
industry and practically the one upon
which all others are based. Great al
vances have been made in this pri-
mary industry and in some sections
have been effective but the great mass
Of agricultural production is as yet I'M
moved. The new generation in that
field wants TO get the best and latest.
This society will seek to coordinate
all that is being done and bring 1t
closer to the individual farmer" When
this work is well done the problem of
how we are to stop the rush from farm
to city will have been solved, and that
solution will carry with it the solution
of some economic and social problems
beginning to disturb city life.

northern Indiana there is firm Of real

farms, puts force of men on them TO

renovate the old places until they are

are usually brought in from Il distance
and in many instances pay an advance

those of the real estate firm mentioned
above. He does not stop with the
buildings. however, but goes much

takes the farms purchased under his
own personal supervision, uses lime if
necessary. drains the farms thorough

puts the farms on paying basis. Each
year he makes a profit sufficient more

To prevent your apples and grapes
from rotting spray them with bordeaux

Do not fail to set few rows of late
tomatoes. If gathered just before frost
and wrapped in paper the green fruit
will keep until Christmas or later and
ripen well.
If caulifower Is to thrive II must be
planted on moist, well drained, fertile
soil.
In the case Of young fruit trees
planted about the home grounds, where
they cannot be cultivated, keep the soil
stirred about them with hoe or place
around them a heavy mulch Of straw
or stable manure.
Hoe the weeds out Of the corner of

The Greatest Naval Battle.

Assuming that Germarys object in precipitat-
ing the greatest naval battle since the Japanese
and Russian fleets met was to reduce her adver'
sarys strength on the ocean to further the plan
announced by of the Teuton warriors al
the beginning of the war; of pairing down" the
British navy until its superiority that oi
Germany no longer forbade general engage
ment-she was victorious in the fight of May 81
off the coast Of Denmark.
While a detailed account Of the loss OF men
and ships has not yet been rendered, there is nc
doubt that Englands losses were so much the
heavier that though the German feet suffered
severely, England's margin OF superiority IN
strength has been lowered. Whether, in a
game of chess, Germany is the gamer for having
made the sacrifice necessary to infict the dam
Iage, not even the experts will be able to tell
with all the figures before them. 1t is some
thing that events of the future may or may not
determine.
IT, however, the German undertaking was for
the purpose of breaking through the blockade OF
her ports to relieve the food shortage, If an
other attack in force the English coast was
contemplated or preparation for invasion,
then the battle defeat for Germany. Her
fleet, far from intact has been driven back to
Its waters; Great Britain still controls the
sea and her ships prepared for another at
tempt by the enemy, which, if it is made, is not
likely to meet with the same measure of success.
The British will profit by the lesson in German
methods of naval warfare. learned at dreadful
cost, and the advantage in the next engagement
may be all on their side. The meager accounts
of the fight so far available indicate that the Zep-
pelins again have proved that they are a tre-
mendous force to be reckoned with.
There is TO believe that the COM
plete story of what probably the greatest
naval battle fought will detract at all from
the brilliancy and bravery Of the German ex-
plot that it will in any way besmirch the
pages of England's heroic naval history. 1t will
be the story of a mighty clash of the destructive
monsters scientific genius has given to death as
its allies, Of thousands of brave men killing and
dying themselves and counting not as sacrifice
lives given for their cou7try's life. In the gloom
OF what, rcckoned in men and ships, is a defeat
England will be proud and grateful that her
sailors have shown the enemy that the way to
Englands shores lies through sea Of blood.
If England has been shocked at the extent
OF the damage the Germans were able to inflict,
the rest of the world will be scarcely less so,
even though the battle gave no reason for belief
that England's supremacy is threatened.
The full story, howevc- may be expected to
reveal horrors unrivalled and loss in lives and
millions before approached in a naval
conflict
