A Letter from Mrs. Gates 
“A half truth is worse than a false¬ 
hood.” There is a verse in Holy Writ 
where it says in part, “Whoso calling his 
brother a fool is in danger of hell fire.” 
I am fully convinced that the editor of 
The R. N.-Y. must be at least familiar 
with the Scriptures and wished to escape 
that judgment in the hereafter; therefore 
didn’t call the writer that pet name when 
describing her words and feelings at Syra¬ 
cuse. (Oh, I just wish he interpreted 
the school bill as concisely, for that is an 
uplift measure also!) 
I did say, in my fragmentary and dis¬ 
jointed talk before that questioning audi¬ 
ence, after repeatedly saying that every 
measure had been adopted to familiarize 
the farmer with the bill, but the “whys” 
still persisted ; why did the commissioner 
try to jam the bill through the Legisla¬ 
ture without the farmers understanding 
it. Then I said a parent sometimes gives 
a child medicine for the good results 
which follow, but not one word of cram¬ 
ming it down their necks or throats. 
If that is an unwise method to pass a 
law before every individual understands 
it, we have many instances which prove 
the wisdom of it. What a howl went up 
from the people—the farmers are not the 
only ones who kick over the traces—when 
their authority as path master was taken 
from them. They imagined their roads, 
when under State control, would he ter¬ 
rible, but, being obliged to take their 
medicine, and seeing the good effects, they 
are clamoring for more good roads every 
year. 
Another example which came very close 
to us, about 20 years ago; a one-room 
school had eight pupils. Five of them 
were ours. We were not satisfied with 
the advancement they were making, so 
tried to close the school and make a con¬ 
tract with the village. The first proposal 
met with absolute refusal, but after much 
agitation at the following annual meeting 
it was voted by a majority to try it, but a 
few were terribly sore, until they saw the 
benefits of it, to pupils and taxpayers. 
Not a cent of taxes was raised in the dis¬ 
trict. The State money paid all neces¬ 
sary expense. Their medicine did them 
good, and for eight years we followed that 
plan, with the hearty co-operation of all. 
That is just what would happen if the 
rural school had a chance to demonstrate 
its benefits to the farm children and the 
taxpayers. The $12,000,000 would surely 
lessen our taxes ; that is what the State 
will pay, besides what it is giving now, 
and the boys and girls out in the country 
should have an equal chance with city or 
town children, and the demands of the 
times are calling for trained minds and 
hands. 
We are very certain that if our children 
were obliged to spend their formative 
years in the little one-room school, with¬ 
out any competition or incentive for ad¬ 
vancement, we would not have the one 
thing we are proud of in our humble farm 
home; that is the picture of our three 
daughters and two sons in their caps and 
gowns, for higher education was not so 
much in evidence 20 years ago as it is 
Row. 
There are fine rural schools with good 
teachers, and always will he, and there 
are many more which need improving. 
The Rural New-Yorker has been in the 
Gates family, father and son, since its 
first publication, when it was edited un¬ 
der the name of Moore's R. N.-Y. So, as 
an old friend, I think we might offer you 
a little advice. I think you are making 
a great mistake in opposing the rural 
school hill. Let the farmers who are 
groaning under taxes have the benefit of 
$12,000,000 extra which the State will 
pay to carry on their schools, singly or in 
groups; they will be their own debtors. 
MRS. FLOYD GATES. 
R. N.-Y.—We are pleased to permit 
Mrs. Gates to present her case. A num¬ 
ber of people who heard her at the Syra¬ 
cuse meeting are prepared to make affi¬ 
davit that the remarks attributed to her 
011 page 276 are substantially correct. As 
for that $12,000,000 which is being dang¬ 
led before the eyes of our farmers, we are 
frank to say that we do not believe the 
cities would ever give that or any other 
sum for rural schools unless they as an 
exchange can get five to 10 times as much 
for their own schools—and every dollar 
of it must be raised as taxes and appro¬ 
priated by the Legislature. 
Oats or Speltz with Canada Peas 
I have a plot of land plowed last Sum¬ 
mer, being run-out meadow. I sowed it to 
buckwheat, which did not mature, and 
plowed it under last Fall. I want to sow 
It to Canada field peas this Spring, with 
either oats or speltz. What and how much 
fertilizer should I use? How much seed 
to the acre of peas; also oats or speltz? 
Which of the two latter is preferable? 
Topsham, Vt. c. e. c. 
We advise oats instead of speltz, and 
would use one bushel of Canada peas and 
three bushels of oat.s per acre. You can 
drill them in together, or sow the peas 
first and plow them under deeply, and 
then broadcast the oars and harrow in. 
Use 400 lbs. per acre of a good high-grade 
fertilizer.
