New York AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 13 
take your failures in order that you may have your successes, and 
the State says with reference to agriculture, ‘ We will have a place 
where we can find out the truth in regard to matters pertaining 
to the interests of large numbers of our citizens. We will have men 
there that will work until they can see what things can be ac- 
complished in certain ways; how these destroyers themselves can 
be destroyed ; how fertility can be increased ; how particular advan- 
tages can be gained, and then when they ae reached the truth, we 
will provide for its dissemination and meanwhile we will provide 
an opportunity for educating young men who are going onto the 
farm, broadening their outlook and giving them a proper perspective, 
I love that word perspective. We have got to have things in their 
true relations and a man’s happiness in life is more dependent on 
his perspective than on anything else. Some men hold a little thing, 
not of much importance in itself, so. close to their eyes that the 
whole world outside is hidden. If we can only see things in their 
true relations how happy would be those who have the good fortune 
to be farmers. How many of those there are who are now suffer- 
ing from ills that could easily be gotten rid of, if they only saw 
things in their true relations. 
SCIENCE IN GOVERNMENT. 
“What I want to say in conclusion is that this same scientific 
method; which we admire in the work of this Experiment Station, 
which promises so much for the agricultural interests in our State, 
we want to see applied everywhere through the administration of 
government. We cannot, as I said the other day, as human beings 
dealing with the affairs and interests of human beings, have things 
done with exact regard to scientific formulae and I tell you, my 
friends, what you want, what the citizens of this State want, more 
than anything else, in connection with their government is the 
ascertainment of the truth, the dealing with things in a true and hon- 
orable way, the standing for the truth and the readiness to account 
to the people according to the truth.”
