AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.
If our country schools would inpart lessons in agricultural chemistry, at.d give information regarding the most modern discoveries in regard to the growth of produce, the results would be infinitely more beneficial than those of a restricted college system which is open to only those who have means and leisure. This theoretical education should, however, be augmented by a system of experimental farms through the country, so that the advantages of the application of science to agricultural operations could be demonstrated on the spot. The cost would, says the "Oaraaru Mail," be a trifle in comparison with the immense advantages that would accrue. We have little or nothing of which to boast in regard to the agricultural education of our people; but perhaps we shall be awakened prese tly by a knowledge that we must keep pace with others or go under. What has been done for the dairying industry may yet be done in the raising of produce.
