Where a few years j ago tho farmer boys were rushs ; ing to the cities to crowd the pros j fossil ms, there is now a decided j move in the other direction. The ; natural re-action that must always follow a movement as radical in some measure accounts for the disposition to return to the soil for a livelihood, but there is more. The agriculturist has become a professional man. The college and the university have added a special course for his benefit, and gives him a degree. He is a bo tanist and a chemist, and science has taught him to take the jaded and wornout farms, and with in telligence cause it to blossom like the rose. The dispiriting labor which bent the forms of tho elders and sent the lads scurying cityward has been lightened by devices that better accomplish the end sought. The long hours are shortened, and the farmer finds time to in diiige in the enjoyments of ! without cost to the Commission. I The secretary of tho Fifth L T . S. I Service District, will conduct the | examinations mentioned under j schedule “A” to bo held October J 25, and the Commission will cn- i deavor to arrange to have Major | Tillson, whom you mention in | | your letter of J une 7, conduct the examinations scheduled to be held on September 14, and October 19. The Commission thanks you in advance for yqur efforts in the matter. Very respectfully, John C. Black, President, W. R. B. No. 790. FALL examinations. DAHLONEGA, GA.

In the Cascade mountains, about seventy-live miles east of Jackson ville, Oro., the seeker of the curi ous will find the Great Sunken Lake, the deepest lake in the world so far as its situation is concerned, for it is said to average 2,000 feet | down to the water on all sides. 1 The depth of tho water is un known, and its surface is smooth and unruffled by the strongest I winds.
