Study Of Gardening
In Schools Urged

School officials Of Minnesota are
urged by r. S. Macintosh, of the
agricultural extension division Of the
University Of Minnesota, to provide
for the study of gardening by all boys
and girls in public schools. This work
is recommended as being of vital inn
portance in the educational scheme
and as a means of furnishing more
good food. James M. McConnell, state
commissioner Of education, has adj
dressed letters to all county and city
superintendents and principals recon-
mending that the schools not only en-
courage practical gardening, but poul-
try raising as well for boys and girls.

Another Side Too.
Of course it follows that a country

may become as great power almost
for evil as the paper | have under

become the purveyor for petty small

est and commission charges. Agri-
culture was rapidly deteriorating,
the number of farmers engaged in
filling the soil was decreasing, the
number of acres actually under cul-
tivation was decreasing, the out
put per acre was actually decreas-
ing, and the food supply of the nation
was decreasing, as was also our con-
tribution to the worlds food supply.
Wants His Right, Not a Favor.
After an exhaustive study Of the
needs of the country and after an
other exhaustive study of the credit
system of European countries, con-
gress decided to adequately finance
agriculture as great underlying in
alustry essential to the life of the
nation. Congress did not cOntem-
plate any petty remedies. 1t did not
contemplate charity for the small
farmers. 1t did not contemplate spe-
clal privilege for the big farmers. But
congress did contemplate establishing
"a practical system of rural credits by
which the farmer would be enabled to
secure as a right-not as favOr-ade-
Uuate funds at reasonable rates. And
congress did this, assuming that the
general welfare demanded that we
look to the future and make provision
for a continued food supply for the
nation.
Keeping Country Boy on Farm.
''The intent of congress in passing
the federal farm loan act was not to
bring the city boy back to the country,
MS some seem to think, because the
congress, having in its membership a
goodly number of men who sprang
from the farm, was fully aware that it
was folly to expect the city man to
!, succeed in the country. Rather it was
the intent of congress to keep the
country boy on the farm by making
farming sufficiently profitable to be at
tractive to an ambitious man Of brains,
energy and vision. ] mention this be-
cause some people seem to feel
that the millennium will come the
moment we can get the city boy headed
for the farm. Farmers, however, know
better. They know that the success
full. efficient farmer must be made
from the country-raised boy. And ali
know that there will be enough farm
ers, when farming is made profitable
and country life Is made attractive.
Neither can be accomplished unless
adequate farm credit can be had all
the time and on reasonable tefmar

Former Secretary Of the Treasury
Says Future OF Agriculture De
pends on Keeping Country
Raised Boy on Farm.

The American farmer is not pau

Such is the statement of w. G. Me-
Adoo, former secretary Of the treas
ury.
Mr.. McAdoo contended that the
farmer only asks to be permitted to
take his place among the business
men Of the nation, where he belongs.
He said that the farm loan act merely
enables the farmer to borrow as a
Tfght-not as a favor-adequate funds
at reasonable rates. Mr. McAdoo said,
In part:
Why Farmers Need Money.
"Up to the time of the passage Of the
farm loan act the system of farm cred
ats in operation in this country was ex-
reedingly cumbersome. It was so cum
berson,s that 1T could not furnish the
kind IF service the farmer required, at
@anyprice. That is, it could not furnish
soans on the long term amortization
plan. Also the entire field Of farm
credits was without anything more

Eutile) regulation as to rates of inter-
