And these untoward conditions bear with unusual and especial hardship upon the publishers of the country weekly.

He is Agricultural Agent for the Erie Railroad with Headquarters at Jnmestown. Jamestown has been chosen by the Erie Railroad Company as the location of a new enterprise. Luther D. Fuller, chief agricultural agent for the company, has opened an office at 2 West Second street. This office will be the headquarters for a new movement which the Erie has instituted to aid in the development of the farming territory along its lines.

The movement has been started by the traffic department of which T. C. Powell, vice president, is the head. It is a branch of the development service, which also includes the industrial branch in charge of A. L.

Moorehead, of New York. Two branch offices will be located in connection with the work, one at Cleveland in charge of Agricultural Agent? W. P. Bodie, former county agricultural agent at that place, and the other at Waverly, N. in charge of Agricultural Agent H.

B. Rogers, formerly county agricultural agent at Jamestown. L. D. Fuller comes to Jamestown from, Spartan burg, S.

where he Was agricultural agent for one of the richest counties in the south. He was formerly in the agricultural service of the Southern railroad, and has had much experience in agricultural development work such as the Erie is now undertaking. The purpose of this new service is to study the farming situation along the Erie lines and to aid in forwarding all lines of work which will build up a prosperous and permanent agriculture. Farm lecture trains will be sent out in co-operation with the various state agricultural colleges along the line, in order to bring before the people the best methods, most up to date farm machinery, etc. On these trains it is possible to Carry uppar- atus and machinery which could not otherwise be exhibited in many sections.

The movement of farm buyers from the middle west to New York state is slated to receive attention. The farm lands in southern New York, northwestern Pennsylvania and northeastern Ohio can now be purchased at low prices compared with farming lands in many other sections. The securing of western men to locate here will help in building up this territory. Information will be sent out in regard to farm lands in this section, and assistance given to men who desire to locate here. A prominent feature of the work will be co-operation with the county agricultural agents located along the lines of the Erie.

These men with the county farm bureaus developed in nearly every county are effective local agencies in agricultural development. Problems connected with the transportation and marketing of farm products will be taken up, and farmers along the Erie lines may apply to the agricultural agents for assistance and information. The various centers of production along the lines, and the chief market centers will be studied, with the view of promoting the more even distribution of farm products. Death of Rev. B.

Prospect that Steuben county will get a just share of new voads when the next legislative road building program is developed was strengthened at the joint meeting of the Good Roads Committee of the Steuben Board of Supervisors and the joint legislative highway committee was held av the offices of the Corning Chamber of Commerce on May 26, sas the Leader. The meeting was well attended and the Supervisors were enthusiastic. Steuben county now something under the usual percentage of highways allotted to each county. A number of valuable suggestions were received by the legislative committee, and the new roads were placed on the map for consideration in the development of future plans for completing all connecting links now unbuilt not only in Steuben county but in the entire state. The most traveled and most important piece of road that remains to be constructed in Steuben county is the nine mile strip from the Addison highway to Lindley, where it will connect with Pennsylvania's Susquehanna Trail Route at Lawrenceville.

On the recommendation of the Board of Supervisors to the state for the construction of this road, the road appears on the base map of the legislative committee. This road is one of the first to be given consideration. On the base map are the roads which are to be constructed before additional roads are built, but the fact that suggestions are now made as to the new roads, will not alter the previous plans in the least for the completion in the order previously determined by the Board of Supervisors of all roads now mapped. The roads which already appear on the map follow; Lindley-Lawrenceville, nine miles; Jasper-Troupsburg, seven miles; Addison-Rathbone, five miles; Cameron-Canisteo, 12 miles. The Kanona-Prattsburg road, 12 miles in length, is now under construction.

The new roads suggested to the committee, and which were placed on the map for future consideration, were: Canisteo Whitesville, four miles; Caton-Seeley Creek, three miles; Hammondsport-Branchport, 15 miles; Wayland-North Cohocton, six miles; Rathbone-Can'isteo, 18.7 miles; Jasper Greenwood. Recommendation was also made on the Green- woOd-Andover road, part ofwhich is in and part in Allegany county. After the completion of the tour made by the legislative committee, they will get together a complette map of the state, showing all the roads suggested, and try to determine how the work will accomplished to complete all the roads asked It is hoped to obtain an appropriation that will complete the roads accepted within a five-year period. Education in Canada. One of the great issues in Canada to-day, is unquestionably that of education.

The same is true, of course, of every country reaching out toward real progress; but in Canada there is a very notable awakening on the matter. For Canada is coming to see that her educational problem is no ordinary problem. It is not a question simply'of providing for the education of children, it is very much a question of securing the education of the many thousands of almost illiterate immigrants who, every year, settle within her borders. Now, under the British North America Act, education was one of those rights accorded to the provinces, and there does not seem to be any indication, at the present time, that an effort will be made to alter this arrangement. Nevertheless, it is significant of the great importance attached to the matter that the question of the desirability of establishing a federal bureau of education should have been discussed, as it recently was, in the Dominion House of Commons.

The subject was raised by Dr. Edwards, member for Frontenac, who moved that, "in the opinion of this House, a federal bureau of education should be established at Ottawa." He referred to the illiteracy and general ignorance of large numbers of people coming to Canada. Some of these people, like the Mennonites, were opposed to education along generally accepted lines, and, as a matter of fact, enjoyed government exemption in regard to the matter. There were, he pointed out, at least fifty different nationalities represented in Canada, many of whom were acquiring their own ideas of Canadianism in their own way, whereas he was convinced that there should be a uniform system for the assimilation of these foreign immigrants. In addition of this, official statistics showed that in 1911 some per cent, of the total number of voters were unable to read or write.

Dr. Edwards did not intend that his proposal -should be regarded as in any sense an interference with the educational rights of the provinces. These rights, under his scheme, would be maintained intact, the purpose of the federal bureau being merely to help the provinces toward securing a uniform system of education all round. Ultimately Dr. Edwards withdrew his motion, after it had been discussed during the whole of one afternoon and evening, but it is interesting to note that it obtained a large measure of support, and that the acting Prime Minister, Sir George Foster, was amongst those who did not think that the proposal would interfere in any way with provincial rights.

Such a thorough ventilation of the subject cannot fail of good effect, if only to the extent of placing the issue fairly and squarely before the provinces, at a time when these provinces, notably in the west, are working on this very point. The matter is one of first importance. Canada is, to-day, stil lessentially an Anglo-Saxon country with Anglo-Saxon ideals, and Canada is well within her right, to put the matter no more strongly, in seeking, by every legitimate means in her power, to maintain and spread these ideals. The best way to do this, and indeed the only way, is by means of a carefully thought out and faithfully applied system of education in the widest sense of that Science Monitor. MapU Sugar and Sirup Produced Production of maple sugar and sirup has declined this year, according to the Bureau of Crop Estimates, United Department of Agriculture.

The sugar production 7,529,000 pounds, which with 10,169,000 in 18,271,000 pounds in 1918, and 10,839,000 in 1917.

SPALDING is much below the 3,854,000 gallons of 1919, the 4,905,000 gallons of 1918, and the 4,286,000 gallons of 1917. With sirup converted to terms of sugar, the maple sugar production of 1920 amounted to 36,373,000 pounds, and this compares with the estimate of 41,005,000 pounds in 1919, 52,513,000 pounds in 1918, and 45,127,000 pounds in 1917. The productive season of 1920 was a short one and the average number of pounds of sugar per tree, with sirup expressed as sugar, was only 1.91, while to the preceding three years the averages ranged from 2.16 to 2.72 pounds per tree.
