EUROPEAN FARMERS

America
DIFFERENT SYSTEMS
ARE HERE EXPLAINED
Horry Farmers Should Take
Advantage of All Instruction

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have been replaced by courses la ting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

Italian System Described.
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.

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."
