' It Is quite common to hear some ' one say, u l began to do that • work . yesterday," "the battle begun between the two armies," etc. This use of ' "begun" to express the past tense (sometimes called the preterit) of ( "begin" is not incorrect, according to, ( some authorities-on the uses of words, ( but there Is a fairly general agree ment that the better word to use Is ' "began." If you wish to -safeguard , yourself against possible criticism, suy j "I began to do that work yesterday," "The battle •> begnn between the two armies,'V etc., not "begun." ( Richard Grant White, in "Wo'rtls and Their Uses," a high authority,! criticizes and condemns the use of "l>egun" Instead of "begnn" to express the post. , Of course, it is incorrect beyond any doubt to say, "I huVe begun" to ex press the perfect tense- of "begin."

For the past fifty years, the -State Experiment Station and the United States Department of Agriculture hare been' collecting valuable facta about farming that wore never known before. This Information put lato practice will double the profit in farming in many different line*. Yet the ffrpafcer portion of it 1« not beta* used by the farmers of the country There may be aero-al reasons why this information Is not being used; but one important •one Is that the farmer hits not been educated to read farming literature, and many class .this information under the head of "Book. Farming," not suitable for the man who is after bitter crops more cheaply produced. Tho Farm Demonstration system has been developed to correct this misunderstanding among farmers and to scatter the information but at berft the farm demonstrator can only help to correct a mistake*in the far mers' education and must' be classed as a "repair man." The High school teacher of agriculture strikes at Ike root of tbe troubles and trains the far mer while yet a boy and a learner to, select the information ho wants and use it wisely. We used to train printers, Aoema kers, blacksmiths, Uilpra, etc., in the hpme shop; but qa# the most capa ble young workmen In these lines are first partly tralhed in the school. Un der modern eondltlons it Is essential that' our future successful farmers learn something about farming in schools while gaining other forms of learning necessary in our great stage of civilisation.
