v PAGE TWO EUROPEAN FARMERS HAVE INSTRUCTION Done by Schools Similar to Those Used in America DIFFERENT SYSTEMS ARE HERE EXPLAINED Horry Farmers Should Take Advantage of All Instruction ^ o O 1 TT unerea nere. Reports from Europe relating to agriculture indicate that the rural j '.pulations in many countries of the ( ontinent are receiving valuable assistance, which is somewhat similar t that provided by American farm( is' institutes, and is playing a big > art in reconstruction "over there." That agricultural interests in this country may have a better knowledge of the systems of agricultural in* traction for European farmers, v hose products will come more or Uss in competition with those of America, the States Relations Ser \ ce of the United States Department of Agriculture has made a care ful tudy of reports from across the Atlantic. In view of what is being done in Europe it is interesting to note that there is now expended annually in this country from Federal State, arid local sources, more than $' 4,000,000 for work contemplate 1 by the cooperative agricultural extension act, the object of which is to disseminate infonnation among main ly through trained agents. The States Relations Service points out that the system of itinerant instruction in various European countries has been especially valuable to the small and middle-class farmers who are unable to attend permanent Jk'irrioilltlirttl flTWl ^?ir? r*r?f of. ford to send their children to such institutions for long terms. Itinerant instruction is usually given at the request of a- community or agricultural association, and the length of the session varies from four to five days to three or four months. Previous to the war Belgium, l.aiy, Germany, and France took the lead in this phase of agricultural work. In Belgium the itinerant housekeeping schools have been of such a splendid character that many an American girl might envy the Belgium maidens' privileges. They have been able to receive free in> truction in domestic economy, agriculture, dairying, kitchen gardening, care of the home, and many othe. I ranches. In recent years the four or five month's courses formerly given have been replaced by courses la ting seven or eight days. The Farm j Women's League, a branch of the peasants' league or "Boerenbond Beige," which continued its activities during the war, is composed of circles of farm women. These circles promote lectures on "domestic economy," "education of children," "care Danger in CHOLERA INFANTUM Don't tnke chances with the babies.

According to the latest statistics Italy has 278 chairs of agricultur that are occupied by men of profe.s i ional training who are engaged ii itinerant instruction. The cost of thi vork is more than $400,000 a year? an expense shared by the State, til Province, and the local organization Since the close of the war man, courses are being held in mecluvnica agriculture to instruct farm laborer in the use and repair of farm ma chines. flnursos in fnvm V?nnlrlrnov? I --- ? r ing for young mon and young womei are also contemplated. Thirty-eigh of the itinerant instructors specializi in certain subjects, such as silkworn laising', mulberry culture, chees? n.nking, viti-culture, fruit growing and plant diseases. Itinerant agricultural instructior in France, which has been long estab lished, was first given by depart mental professors under the juris diction of the ministry of agriculture and commerce and the ministry oJ education and fine arts. This in struction reached adults only, bul 1-uer traveling schools of agriculture during the winter months were established for young men. Similar house keeping schools for girls have been in existence for years. In 1918 a law vas passed providing professional instruction during the bad season of the year for farmers' sons unable tr. spend longer periods in the regular agricultural colleges. The law also provides for itinerant housekeeping schools for girls. Practical Advice in Spain. In Spain little has been done in the way of itinerant instruction, but a few months ago a royal order was issued providing that practical advice snould be given fortnightly to farmers by the technical personnel of the agricultural establishments and agronomic sections of all the provinces. In South America there has been a limited amount of effort along this 1 ne. Brazil has maintained itinerant farm instruction for a few years. In 1913 the Argentine Central Railway fitted up two passenger coaches, one for lecture purposes and one as an exhibition car, and this was sent around the country, accompanied bv an official agricultural expert. Dur-ng the past year a somewhat similar undertaking has been followed by the Paulista Railway Company. In Colombia- the question of creating a body of itinerant professors is being strongly agitated. The idea of teaching the farmers better agriculture has extended even w portions of Africa and India, which arc under control of the British, an l small beginnings have been made. In the Central Provinces of Ir dia "Kamdars" are engaged in thi? work. Agricultural shows and conferences are also held and demonstration farms are maintained. indiansg/Sg ~ IN POPULATION No Longer Thought of 'as Dying Race?Big Increase Shown.

A. w/ ?mmmmmmmmmR THE HORBT HERALD, CON " ment's Indian bureau, who maintaii " that the Indian necessarily forme* it an exceedingly *cant populatioi 11 which probably at no period ma !? terially exceeded the total of 333,70 i- Indians reported by the bureau las year. "The Indian no longer is to fc< >, thought of as "a dying race',' dc e dared Dr. Lawrence W. White, ai - Indian authority of the bureau. "1) n support of that statement it \ * necessary, in the first place, t< - disabuse the public mind of the tra c dition handed down by dicoverer: i. and early colonists that Americai y forests in their day* swarmed witl 1 | the dusty figure of the red man. A: ?. the Indian neglected agriculture - I almost completely, it is highly inv - | probable that this country, consider* | ing its latitude, could have supporte1 t more than several hundred thousand ? of his race." i On the other hand Dr. White con? tinued, the Indian in the present day , after periods of sharp decrea-se following as a natural reaction to sudi den contact with the civilization ol - , the white man, is seen to be making - substantial gains in population. "While many estimates or guesses > of the Indian population were made f I during the past century," said Dr. * I White, "ranging from less than 100,; 000 to 400,000, the first reliable * census was made by the Indian - bureau in 1870, when the population ' was placed at 313,712. So figures de1 monstrate that in the last 50 years ' the Indian population has made a sub I stantial net gain. Pointing to statistics which show ? an excess of births over deaths of 1,52, in 1910 and almost as great an er1 cess in 1917, normal years which i were not affected by the epidemic of influenza, Dr. White declared these figures "fully reflected the genel rosity of a government that has in creased its Indian health appro1 priation alone from $40,000 in 1911, 1 to $350,000 in 1917 and subsequent years."' They demonstrate, he said, 1 that with the schools, hospitals and other advantages now provided for him, the Indian, be he tribesman or freed man, is "not a dying race but rather a flourishing one." Had he been treated as other nations have treated sava-ge tribes, Dr. White concluded, there probably would not be a "vestige of the race within our republic today." ? NOTICE.
