EDUCATE MORE FARMERS.

1t is coming to be recognized as a most obvious
fact that if we as a people are to again put our
country on an equitable living basis we must ed
ucate more farmers. Not educate more farmer
boys for professions, but educate more BOYS for
FARMERS.
From the incipiency of the public school up
to within the last decade the entire trend of edu-
cation has been away from the farm and toward
the professions. Even the manual training
schools have tended to swell the ranks of the
mechanical trades at the expense of the farms.
No nation can achieve permanent prosperity
without a great and prosperous farming class.
When the farm decays the nation deteriorates.
Our farms are the very life and heart of our coun-
try.
Some, though, may ask how W. are to educate
more farmers.
Very simple. Make every free school in the
land primarily an agricultural school, and a liter
airy school as a secondary matter. Bellies letters
is not the browning necessity of existence. Bread
and meat are. Educate the youth of the land
first toward that which is most vitally necessary
to our national life, and when this is accomplish
ed, if there be leisure and means for adding the
frills, let them be added.
Nine out of every high school pupils on emerg-
ing from that school enter the ranks of the toll
ers, in some department or other. If in their edu-
cation the farm has not only been made attrac-
tive to them, but they have been given a thorough
and practical knowledge of it's workings, then a
large per cent. of them will as a matter of course
choose that as their occupation in life.
When war broke out between the allies and the
central powers the world stood amazed at the
wonderful perfection of the German military ma
But the cause behind it was as simple as
A, B, G. Every German youth had been educat-
ed and trained as a soldier FIRST OF ALL-after
that for a vocation.
But in time war will cease. The arts of peace
will again demand the attention and energies of
the world, and among them there is none to COM
pare with the great art of coaxing from Mother
Earth her golden harvests.
But, you may ask, if all of the boys are educat-
ed to a farmers life, what of the professions? ,
There will always be some who, by natural fit
ness, will g~ravitate to the professions, enough to
keep their ranks recruited. As a matter Of fact,
these same professions could spare half Of their
present members and not suffer in the least.
Educate farmers! The farms are suffering
for them, and the professions and trades are ov-
erburdened with them.

There is no feed in this country today as cheap
as Cottonseed Meal, and we believe this point
should be brought forcibly to the attention of ev-
cry jobber of feed stuffs and every retailer, and
the jobbers and retailers should especially call
the attention Of the consumer tosthis fact.
Europe continues to buy Cottonseed Meal and
Cake from this country, when with the unusual
high price of all feed stuffs, this cheap protein
should remain in this country and be used by our
own farmers instead Of allowing it to 60 to
Europe.

Queen Mother. Gift Bible.

Upon one of his journeys during the
Antarctic expedition Sir Ernest Shack
Teton was obliged to reduce his lug
gage to the smallest possible amount.
He states that up to this point the
Bible given by Queen Alexandra to the
ships library (provided by the British
and Foreign Sailors society had been
carried with the party. In leaving
other things behind 1t was decided
with reluctance that this also must
be abandoned.
As the Bible contained on its flyleaf
a message written by Queen Alexan-
dra, the fiyleaf was cut out. also the
pages containing the Twenty-third
psalm and the chapter in the Book of
Job which speaks Of the sea being fro
zen. These three pages were carried
to the end Of the journey and brought
back to this country.
Sir Ernest has promised to present
the three pages to the society to be
sold on behalf of its funds.
