such allegations are true or untrue,
the Offense charged is not one whit
worse than the almost universal
practice of classifying returns 10 the

of difference between the rendering
Of false values 10 the assessor and

deduction is that no higher average

OF public servants than obtains in

sons go TO school until they learned

put them TO work regularly on the
farm. The practical farmer said,

that the veriest backwoodsman has
ceased TO sheer at book farmin'. q"
since scientific agriculturists have
made 10 ears Of corn grow where
scarcely a grain would sprout
before But that special agricul-
tural training is not what is being
referred TO here. The fact remains
and has been proven by cold fig
ures. that the farmer who received
only a rural school education is
today making a smaller income by
over Il per cent than the one who
has gone further in the public
schools.
The Missouri agricultural station
issued a circular not long ago with
754 farmers listed. Five hundred
and ffty-four OF these had had but
elementary schooling-the other IOe
had gone through about two years
of high school. The average income
OF the latter group was IA per
cent larger than that Of the former
group. Even after the labor in

40 per cent
II the circular does not put the
final silencer on the last doubt of
the ilHterate farmer and his apollo

suits in any game or trade over
the unframed intellect And the
nature OF the training makes little
