Mr. S. M. Brinson made the opeiSnr address saying in part, that education was for the boy and girl in country as same as the boy and girl in the city.

Among many things S the speaker said. The Farmers Union stands for education and co-operation. Today the farmer is playing a losing game, when he can and should win and succeed. We shall ask the legislature for $50,000 appropriation to start, 20 county agricultural schools, these to add an agricultural education to the boy and girl on the farm, to not con flict with the present public schools. Some personal experiences were given that were very interesting. Mr. Shaw gave the comparisons of what wheat and corn were now raised and what could be by intelligent farming. The Kreift sums now Rent out of the State for food supplies were shown, and how by agricultural education work the State could pave these millions, and the few thousands spent for agricultural schools would be returned by the im proved farming.

Washington, Jan, 16 Everything in the way of forest preservation must not be expected from the federal gov ernment is the opinion of President Tait who on last Saturday addressed the an nual banquet of the American Forestry association. The President said he did, not like "to lecture the states" in their business, but expressed the belief that some states were not doing tbsir duty in the development of their forests, ,,, "It is the function of the states to provide state foresters and a forestry service," said the President. "Some states like Massachusetts and New York are spending lots of money in this cause, but other states don t seem to realize the responsibility , upon them in developing our tree industry . " Tht President added that it was dis couraging to think of the great amount of land that ought to have forests and that at present the government had under its forestry system only 25 per cent of the forestry owned by private persons, indicating the amount of work before both the states and the central government. The President argued for patience jn the work of forest preservation and in restoring that which we have extrava gantly wasted.". Chief Forester Henry S. Graves fol lowed the President with an address on the progress of the forestry service. Be declared that not only the eastern states but the western states as well were co operating with the forestry service in carrying out the national policy with regrd to forests. He estimated that about $8,000,000 would be required for roads and an adequate patrol over for est regian, affording protection from fires, Adds Words of Praise.
