Farm Engineer Neac Help.

A NEW field for the engineer has received
of6cial recognition by the establishing IN
the Department Of Agriculture the BweAn Of
Agricultural Engineering. At FIRST thought
there would seem little 10 do for an engineer
around farm, but the possibilities are IN fact
great.
The one thing more than any other which
has put American agriculture ahead Of that
Of other lands h m the efficiency of It's meth
DDS and It's machinery. These fields are these
IN which the agricultural engineer finds most
Of his activity. Then, too, there Is the problem
Of irrigation drainage systems. prevention Of
soil erosion farm buildings and various other
phases Of the work which demand his attention.
The new bureau is to direct its work largely
10 the aiding Of the individual farmers rather
than the large-scale operators. Experimental
farms are to be maintained on which every
conceivable labor-saving device viii be tested.
Various means Of increasing the efficiency Of
the farms and at the same time 1essenipg the
burden Of the farmer win be studied. The pos
sibilises for the<future of farming are great
and the experimental work Of the new bureau
win be watched with interest.
