AGRICULTURE IN RURAL SCHOOLS The Hoard ot Education of one of 1 the prom incut Udiaua counties hss i taken a wise snd practical step In de-! -termining to tetob agriculture as onej Prices for best sustained eharaotera of tba cauaajftfin rani schools. ' Tbe notion that'ttls best farming Scome without any special education otttftp lag on the subjeot is usa ot tX old fogy Ideas that was exploded lone uo XApe'ieDca has demooatrafM that the assail farmer bai most tTaaUapig to learn about chemistry ol the soil,- its ntneas for certain crops, the best treat ment ot tbe laod and even the best methods of cullvation of tbe orops moat co-nmonly planted, ' Hdentiflo farming baa proved a sucotss, and It this were not true the proper thing to do would be t discontinue our ag ricultural department, abolish the ex periment atationa and call In all .the experis who are operating to develop new fruits, flowers, vegetables and animals, aa all this Is done along; solentiao lines. vement away from tbe farms cities lias been very marked fee 188 or thereabouts, but the trolley Hue and r ml mail delivery, bringing tbe farm into oloser touch with the daly aotivity of the world are proving powerful faotora to oheok ing this tendency, end It seems not unlikely tbat the next oentus will (how that tbe tide has turned back toward country lite, not merely among those who can affoid a country resides oe as a luxury, but also among those tbat must earn a livlibood and have tbeir being wherever their dally work may lie. It Is not good that people should get too far from the soil .but nourishes them. There ta about the farm a free dom tbat breeds independence and a bain of necessities that breed resonroe fulness and self-reliance, qnalltlea that have been and still are strong y marked charrcterlitlcs of the I mertcan people, but at the same time qualities thai urban life has a tendency to ou- dermine. , Twenty years sgo the con ditions on the farm were anrh aa to make the city attractive by contrast. Ignorance of tbe best methods ot farm ing was In large measure responsible for tbe poor returns from - tbe ' soil though there were, of oourse many other contributing faetnra to the agri cultural depression. But that situation is now changed vjry materially. There are few vocations more profitable just now than farming, and this Is therefore the time to add to tbe attractiveness of tbo farm by leaching the farmer's son tbe intelligent methods of s lentiflo ugrioultnre.
