The measure was passed quietly and without public notice. It did net receive a one-hundredth part of the publicity given to the convict lease question and yet it probably means much more for Georgia It did not attract a one hundredth part of the attention given to the Cm form Text Book bill and yet in its far reaching effects it is probably destined to exercise greater influence in enriching the State and in properly modifying our educational theories and practices. “the legislator voted for this law, no doubt thinking it would he a means of Improving the farms of Georgia; but the modern edmntor believes that it will erve not only for the Improvement of the farms of Georgia but also for the improvement of the I toys of Georgia; he sees not oily a practical but also in educational vshie In tins movement; lie* secs a movement which answers to the iociohvgieul demands of educa tion us well is to the psychological.” Following this law of l»os, and following this address of im fliere was a ere it deal of discii.ssion of acrieultural education la I Duo. *he 1 < , 1 111 e e.t ibiu'e i t1,.- Soil]) ('oHireia Vgrieultunil.

Dedge plucked the first ripe fruit yesterday from the spineless cactus bushes with which he is ex perimenting on his farm in Bacon county. This marks a distinct ad vance in Georgia agriculture for the seemingly wonderful results claimed by Luther Burbank, the wizard of Santa Rosa, California, have been more than substantiated. Four years ago Dr. Dedge bought nineteen cactus plats with misgivings as to their value. The experiment had never been made in Georgia, but now he is glad he made the venture for he has over 200,000 slabs of the plant with a distinct market value and a satisfaction in his mind that the cul tivation of these new wonders will greatly benefit the state. In various parts of the world stock men make it a practice of feeding wild thorney cactus after burning off the spines or thorns. Luther Burbank realized the great need of a forage which would thrive unGer severe arid conditions and experimented with the wild thorny cactus. Recently he de clared that this spineless cactus which is the result of his experiments to be cr.e of the most important food prod ucts of this age. A cactus slab which is usually about twelve inches by eight in size, spongy in texture, and about an inch thick can be laid anywhere on the ground and it will take root. Little care is needed in planting and no irrigation or cultivation is necessary. The slabs can be cut into pieces and it costs lit tle to raise it. No fertilizer or train ing is necessary to raise 100 tons to the acre no matter what weather, and they need not be harvested, but fed raw to chickens, cows, horses and gcats. Cactus is never produced from seed, but always from cuttings or slabs. Tests show that spineless cactus pro duces superior beef and more milk ar.d butter. It thrives on land that is valueless for other crops. It repro duces itself indefinitely from the orig inal cuting. It is a natural silage in that it may be cut and fed in its rich succulent state any month in the year and no silos are needed. Dr. Dedge says it is not only the forage crop that is valuable, but its fruit as well is most delicious. He dis played with pride fourteen ripe cactus pears on one slab which were unique in color and form and about the size of an ordinary pear. It has a skin somewhat thinner than the skin of a banana, which when peeled leaves a delightfully refreshing pulp of de licious flavor. The pear may be eaten like an apple or sliced and eaten with cream as with peaches. It contains more sugar than sugar cane and makes excellent preserves and syrups. The colors of the fruit are most pleasing, ranging from a light green yellow to deep crimson. The juice from the fruit is crimson and is used for col oring ices, jelly and confectionery. Dr. Dedge says it costs only one tenth as much to raise these pears as to raise oranges and costs nothing to raise the slabs for food for stock, and next year he intends to have at least fifty acres of the plants and plenty of all kinds of stock to enjoy it. All these facts and observations by Dr. Dedge are based on a test covering the last four years in Georgia.—Savannah Morning News.
