The education acquired on iho small farm broadens citizenship because it is a many sided education ami gives correct Impressions of many phases of life. All over the world the small. In dependent farmers air hi tain h sup porters i'f conservative government. They arc intense lovers of Home and opposed to radical changes. Ultimately the small farmer learns to keep a reserve nf eash against emer gencies, und these aggregated accumu lations become very important factors In the capital of the nation, for they are more reliable than deposits from commercial sources. The \asi sums of money necessary to carry on the busi ness of a nation are not derived from the deposits of capitalists, hut from I lie aggregation of millions of thrifty small depositors This Is especially Into In Kugln ml, France, Germany and the United states. it h.'s been observed for years that the sons of small farmers dc\ "lop man aging ability, From their earliest years they arc compelled to do things and to act independently, It is from this scupc that the greatest number of managers of the various enterprises of our country l.a\e been drawn. The great value of educating and training youth for agriculture is so universally conceded that it tloes not require discussion. The necessity of presenting nml Impressing better types of husbandry upon hdult farmers through demonstrations under tin-ir ? are is rapidly being accepted by the American people as :r most important means of education for the rural masses and necessary t<> any general ami rapid advancement. if all is considered education that "leads out." develops or trains the Individual, then the amount of educa tion act pi I red in even the i?est schools is only a fraction of what the average man must know to Slice.1 in life. It is, then, of the highest importance to the slate that this greater mass of knowledge should be correct, broad, conservative mid elevating. Liberal provision has been made for schools by tlm state, by churches nnd by Indi vidual gifis, but the molding of this greater knowledge to the best Intet? ests of society has been mainly left to the caprice of Iim1I\ idttnl effort. The state can With propriety specially fos ter such conditions of society, such lines of industry or sni p occupations as evidently teml to mental ami phys ical vigor, lo breadth of understand ing, to the best citizenship and to the stability of the slate. For these ends no mote potent Influence has been found than an intelligent, prosperous and contented body of thrifty small fanners. Picking and Packing Apples.
