were t^? study only the agricultural
course and go hack to the farm when

He helped to paaa the bills provid

boys and girls In the towns, having
better chances to prepare themselves,
were getting all the free scholarships
In those Schools and the country boys
and girls were l?elng left, because
their preparatory schools were not as
efficient. Now, one scholarship, if
there are less than four in a county

He has also been persistent In his
fight for good road leglalatlon aiid al-.
though he has hot been able to get
the State as a whole to embark iu this
work, his own towilship has, by
aiHM'lal legislation and taxes levied
made model roads to tlie boundaries
of his township, and this 'plan is
spreading over the entire country.
So he has shown constructive ge

along the line of the uplift of the
farming class. Ills leadership has
been acknowledged in the house and
