ft is interesting to know the means he cm
ployed.’t ■> follow him in hit work, and as Pres
ident Ise remarked the other day,if the college
)>as succeeded in doing nothing besides teaching
Him people, how to restore worn out land, the
.hem fits to be. derived from that knowl
edge will more than compensate
for any outlay that has been made
in tho establishment of the in-
Btitutiou. Tho late lamented Furman in Geor
gia popularized a system of farming known as
the inti nsive system, and his memory is held
in sacred recollci lion almost by his agricul
tural brethren all over the country. Fnr
ymin's work was a great one, and he well de
served the npplrtfisc and fame he received, but
how mm li greater the service to the state and
to tho former is the work of a man who has
taught them how to rest ore to set I ility land that
fm yi nr ; had been abandoned as practically
worth less and unproductive. And that has
been Prof, t,alley's work in Mississippi.
Ile cal! hie ‘y-teui tlie extensive one in con
tradiction to tho intensive system; he has
written niuch about it that has attracted atten
tion among agriculturalists all over the coun
try, hut Im has done better than that; he
placed it in operation on the college farm, and
I the results as shown in the incieascd value of
Ltho laud, in its increased productive power,
lias more than justified the expectations of
the professor, and Ids college associates, in tho
Bucci -of the. theory and the system.
