AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.
Agricultural science is of great value, and it will assist farmers' sons to make the best use of their practical knowledge of farming. Without the latter a farmer can hardly hope for success, while in a good many cases it would be found thai; theory alone is a hindrance rather than a help. Fanners themselves do not, as' a rule, appreciate the value of the teaching of scientific agriculture as they should. They prefer their own methods, and they will not admit that scientific teaching will ensure for them heavier crops of grain, or stock of better quality. Thia is a mistaken view, remarks the Timaru "Post," and, when the benefits of agricultural science are better understood it will j give way to more enlightened ideas?
