t THE MOST WONDERFUL SPECKS IN THE WORLD In the current issue of Farm and Fireside, the nntional farm paper published ill Springfield. Ohio.' Herbert Quick, editor of that publication, begins a new serial novel entitled "The Brown Mouse..". In the first chaptiT of liis novel Mr. Quick introduces two characters. Jim Irwin and Newton Branson, who in the following conversation explain perhaps the greatest farm won- ■ der ill the world. "Jim picked up a sweet clover plant ■ and showed him the no^uh-s on its ' roots little white 'knobs, smaller than 1 "The most wonderful specks in the ; I world." said Jim.

We d.rn't put it 011 I ' our fields in Iowa— not yet: but if it ] weren't for those white s|t.-eks 011 th«- j clover roots we soon would — as they j j do bark East." '"How do them while sp.-cks keep us from needin" nitrates' —JF- a long story." said Jim. •You ' see. Newt, before there w.-re any plants 1 big enough to be risible— if there had : been anyone In see tbein-tlie world was full of little plants so small tliat there may be billions of them in one of those little white spei^cs.

And now the plants that have the hotel roots for the bacteria furnish nitrogen not only for themselves but for the crops that follow. Corn can't get nitrogen out of the air, but clover can — and. that's why we ought to plow down clover before a crop of oorn."*

FREUNGHUYSENON FARMERS' NEEDS Be Speaks to Conference AM More Profitable Agriculture. UPHOLDS MODERN IDEAS. 1 State School Board, of Which Ha Is Vioa President, Thoroughly In Accord 1 With Anything That Produces Bettor Results For Children of Agrieult u riots and of Other Residents of New Jersey. New Brunswick. N. J.. Dec. 29.— Farmers from every county In the state were In attendance at the "SoHf" and Crops day," the second In the annual conference which was planned by the late E. B. Yoorhees, the former director of the state experimental station here, and Franklin Dye, secretary of the state board of agriculture. Tba session today waa replete with interest, and there waa a larger attendance than yesterday. Men versed In tbe practical and experimental tilling of the soil gave the visiting delegates the benefit of their knowledge. Tbe Hon. Joseph &. Frellnghnyaen. president of tbe state board of agriculture and rice president of the state board of education, waa the chairman of today's session. The topic of his address waa "A More Profitable Agricul- : ture In New Jersey." and. 'while be told the farmers much about the trend of the times being "back to the soil." he gave a comprehensive and Interesting review of tbe public school system. What 8 tat* Does For Farm Boys. The senator spoke of what was being accomplished in tbe state In agricultural and vocational training and aald that a better education for the boys brought up on the farm would fit them for a life of independence and comfort and make them proud of their calling. He brought out the fact that tbe sustenance of the people was of far greater Importance than any other line of endeavor. Throughout his address it waa apparent that Senator Frellnghuysen, as a farmer himself, had a clear Idea of the farmer's viewpoint, particularly with reference to the cost of tbe maintenance of the 9cbool system In the | shape of taxes. In a comprehensive ' review of the school situation for ten years Senator Frellnghuysen described many <>f the weak points of the system before Its reorganization. He said It was a known fact that many schools were unfit for the school children, that financial matters were handled with i gross carelessness, there was little eo 1 operation from the school department. ! tbe sale of bonds was' controlled by a j few brokers. th» railroads were allot# ( ed a year to pay taxes— In brief, he 1 reviewed thoroughly the conditions : I that brought nbout the Investigation ! and reorganization of the system. | High Tribute to Associates. Some of tbe things that had already 1 been accomplished by way of contrast . were described. The senator paid a , high tribute to Calvin N. Kendall, the state commissioner, snd his assistants, J. Brognard Betts, Albert B. Meredith. J. J. Savltz, Lewis N. Carris. Thomas D. Sensor and Herbert- N. Morse. That a hotter relationship between 1 the state body and the many local . of education exists was shows 1 by the senator, and the spirit of eo j operation that is thus fostered is help- 1 ful. He mentioned the higher stand- , ard of teaching rs having a good effect ' | throughout the stnte and spoke of the i ! fact that practically all of the county j 1 superintendents indorsed the state board and its excellent work. He said the state board advocated an , additional normal school for south Jer- ' sey. which he hoped might l>e realized in the near future. He spoke of the excellent work done by the summer I schools. The raising of the qualifies- ; tlons of the teachers had succeeded. ' Senator Frellnghuysen Impressed upon hLs hearers the fact that the pres1 ent state board of education was . strong In its advocacy for better trnlnI Ing in tbe "three R's." He said that . mncb had been accomplished by the removal of the defective children from many of the schools, which was of | ' benefit to the uormal children as well 1 ' as the unfortunates, and that the 1 board had done Its best to bring about a wider use of tbe school buildings by tbe people for community purposes. Children's Liv** Better Protected, r He said that tbe lives of the chll- 1 ! dren of the state were better protected than formerly because of tbe more rigid requirements In the matter of fireproof construction of schools. "I j wDl not. so long as I am in any way : responsible, give my consent that 1 schools may be built tn a flimsy or unI safe manner, even though the platform of every jioliUcal party should explicitly so declare." he aald. After speaking of some of tbe excellent results that had followed tbe es • tabiishment of a thorough medical ln- - fpei tlon in the schools, the senatofedttlared: "Universal education la not ~ only the best and surest, but the only sure foundation for free Institutions ' True liberty is tbe child of knowledge. She pines and dies in tbe arms of ig 1 noraaoB." The address made s splendid lmpres- : sk>Q upon tbe large gathering of tezm- - «rs, and Senator Frellnghnyaen was , aatol'fl'm nli 1 fur hk excellent revtsw at Ok work at the ads cation boa ad.
