Mr.. w. Z. IarDell, teacher OIL N0ca-
tional Agriculture in the Accident
and Friendsville high schools, in an
article contributed to and published
in The Maryland Farmer under date
of March 18th, 1926, gives an outline
of the work required of students in
agriculture in the schools where he
has classes.
Vocational agriculture is rather
high-sounding name, but when we
come down to facts these two long
words mean farming. They mean
practical farming in every sense of
the word, and they mean little more
besides.
When a boy takes course in voca-
tional agriculture in the high school,
he not only gets the actual practice of
raising a crop or an animal, but he
gets the why's and wherefores of each
and every operation which is required
to produce successfully.
Besides this he gets an insight into
the many and various fields of science
which aid in making our farm life of
today more desirable and pleasurable
than ever before.
The high school departments of vo-
cational agriculture in Maryland offer
to the farm boy two-year course of
study in farming. The course is so ar
ranged that one year the boy is in
structed in animal husbandry. The
following year he obtains instruction
in the production of crops. These
subjects alternate each year thereafter.
The information which is given to
the boy is of the latest and of the
most up-to-date nature that can be
obtained.
In some schools of sufficient size to
warrant and where the need is felt,
two additional years of agricultural
work are given. These third and
fourth years of instruction include in
our State the study of community
specialties, farm management and ag-
ricultural economics.
The first one of these offers def
mite and concrete information on the
solving of the problems in the one
or two most important types of farm
ing in a community. The second
shows the way to a more systematic
and orderly way of conducting farm
business. Lastly agricultural econom-
les teach the principles of marketing
of farm produce and gives the latest
and best methods of selling the sur
plus crops and animal products of the
farm. This is very important now
that we have learned how to produce
surplus of nearly every farm crop.
AS it has been stated, the third and
fourth years of agriculture are only
given where the need has created a
demand, and as yet there are only a
limited number of schools in Mary
land offering these courses. There
fore, at present we are more con-
cerned with the regular first and sec
ond years work.
A typical years instruction in ami
NAL husbandry would include poultry
raising, dairy production, beef pro-
duction, swine raising and instruc-
ton in the care and management of
horses. Any one of these may be
stressed as the teacher and his advis-
DRY committee of local farmers and
business men think best.

 The St. Louis Cardinals were strutting ahead of the crowd in the National league toda. and the Pitts burgh Pirates have been crowded from first to third place in one of the greatest of modern baseball struggles. For a solid week, the standing the first three clubs has been torn to pieces daily.
 The widest upheaval of week of upsets yesterday saw the Pirates yanked from first place by the Cardinals the Cincinnati Reds shunted into second place ahead of Pittsburgh; and the Chicago Cubs drawn step closer to the embattled trio. The Cards have three point margin over Cincinnati, and four ahead of Pittsburgh. Chicago Is games back.
 Two grizzled veterans of many long pennant scrambles. one of them Allan Sothoron. pitching his first full game of the year. stayed the Pirates twice in the double bill at St. Louis. Little Bill Sherdel was invincible in the first contest, hold ing the Pirates to seven hits while his mates clouted Meadows offer ings vfciously. Hagen Cuyler's home run in the fourth was the only dis turbing blow in Wee Willie's to 1 victory. Lester Bell again hammer cd his way into the hearts of Cardi- nal rooters with three hits. one of them a home run. Hafey also smashed for the circuit.
 If the Pirates were dumfounded at the curves of Sherdel in the first, turned loose the full power of his xooming spitball in the second. Three lone hits was the measure of the Buccaneer offensive. All the cunning in Sothoron's arm was needed too, in grinding out the to 1 victory, for Johnny Morrison, famous for his jug handle curve. held the Hornsby cohorts to , hits up to the seventh. Then pass, sacrifice and three single in row brought off the win. Today they meet again in a single contest.

 The fondness of Tunney for the cool 1uiet of the mountains has been voiced often, but the affection of the citizens of Speculator was shown yesterday when the challenger brokc camp and the villagers made his de-
 
 parture a gala occasion with practi- cally the entire population turning out to bid him farewell and o1ter wishes for his success next month against the champion.

TO REVIVE CUP RACE
Joseph P. Day Trophy Event, an International Classic for Women to be Run This Year.

New York, Sept. P)-The Jo- seph P. Day cup race, international swimming contest for women, will be renewed this summer. Although the date has not yet been set, the 3 12 mile swim probably will be held in New York bay Cept. 30 with the finish at Manhattan Beach.
 Gertrude Ederle first woman to. swim the English channel, won the last contest in 1922 from a field of 52 English and American girls. Hell en Wainwright was second and Hil- da James, European champion. third. At that time Miss Ederle set q record of one hour minues for the distance, the first time she had ever raced over distance greater than quarter of mile.
 In announcing a revival of the competition, Me. Day, wealthy New York sportsman, declared that it Is hoped that interest among women swimmers might be stimulated to the point of developing anotl er girl to rival the feats of Miss Ederle. The trophy is among the most cost ly in athletic competition.
