"A few evenings ago I heard a discus

XnU,-h concluj? that this in to the ad

Is to the decreasing of producers and th?
in,-reatiinr of consumers. The careful
student ,f economic, however, wants to
underwtaJMl the rvtwjn why there seems
to be so llul attraction In country pro.
Farmer aj a rule are Inclined to, talk
farming down instead of exalting It pos
sibilities. One of the gentlemen above re
ferred, to said ome aggrereive efforts
are neded to attract attention and add
hitervwt to farm lif.' The superintend
ent of public Instruction Informs me that
the toiJ amount annually expended In
the orMk of erhmution in Indiana would
not fall Bhort of llO.l'ii.OOO. I am In favor
of the broadest kind of education, but I
want farmer educated in the science ot
agricutfjiv as well. There la practically
no Instruction an mo ho crops row, the
