article of Gantt, in the Engineering 

 Journal, having a direct bearing upon 

 the subject under consideration: "In 

 the United States our superb national 

 resources have enabled us to make phe- 

 nomenal progress without regard to the 

 teachings of science, and in many cases 

 in spite of our neglect of them. But 

 we have reached a point where we 

 must recognize that the proper applica- 

 tion of science to industry is of vital 

 importance to the future prosperity of 

 the country." 



The Progressive Farmer. 



The progressive farmer has evidently 

 arrived at the same conclusion, if we 

 are to judge by the number of farmer 

 boys filling the halls of the state agri- 

 cultural colleges, the farmers' insti- 

 tutes, the agricultural departments of 

 the high schools, the university exten- 

 sion courses, etc. The experimental 

 stations established in various states, 

 in most cases as a result of the pres- 

 sure brought to bear by the farming 

 element upon state legislatures, is but 

 an additional proof that the farmer is 

 not only awakening, but that he is 

 wide-awake to his interests. He is not 

 content to let well enough alone, but 

 wants to accomplish the best results 

 possible. He wants to know something 

 about the chemistry of the soil, about 

 the ways and means of improving it, 

 about diversified crops; in brief, he 

 realizes that in order to increase and 

 to improve his product he must combine 

 brain and brawn, and work out his 

 problems upon scientific principles. 



In his annual report, Secretary of 

 Agriculture Wilson tells us that "since 

 October, 1908, the number of institu- 

 tions in the United States giving in- 

 struction in agriculture has increased 

 from 545 to 875. Departments of agri- 

 cultural instruction have been estab- 

 lished in thirty-eight public high 

 schools. Two hundred and fourteen 

 institutions now give teachers' train- 

 ing courses in agriculture. Farmers' 

 institutes are now organized in every 

 state. The attendance at the institute 

 meetings was 2,395,908. Ninety-nine 

 movable schools of agriculture were 

 held, with an attendance of 65,977." 

 These are interesting facts. 



The Florist's Opportunity. 



Now, what the farmer has accom- 

 plished, or is striving to accomplish, 

 should not be beyond the reach of the 

 horticulturist as well. If the farmer
