THE OIIKAT LIFE WORK OF DH.
KNAPP
Dr. S. A. Knapp, who died Sunday
ln Washington, was often called the
best fanner in the United States.
This assertion of pre-eminence would
doubtless be challenged, but if it were
said of him that there are not ten
men In the country who have done
more for farmers than he did, there
would hardly be a dissenting voice.
With Dr. Knapp, farming was a fine
art, and he had an artist's love of his
work. He knew all the theories ad-
vanced in the natne of science, sub-
jected thein to the test of practice,
the false and refined the true with
experience. Ilis chief value to the
country came of the personal quality
which enabled him to overcome the
skepticism and prejudice of the men
with whom farming is the means of
livelihood. It avails nothing to learn
and prove all the laws of plant life
'urd to prrfect tt"> rhejnistry of the

las rules of conduct. Dr. Knapp prob-
ably had more converts to his credit
than any other single man. He was
Paul the Apostle of agriculture,
preaching by word and proving by
work the folly of agronomic pagan
Ism and the salvation of agronomic
revelation. He swayed men because
he sympathised with them; converted
them- to the enlightened idea because
he sympathized with them; convert-
ed them to the enlightened Idea be-
cause he was tolerant of the supersti-
tious idea that has held the farmer In
the bondage of debt He worked with
a keen Insight and a sympathetic
spirit, and was inspired to enthusi-
asm by the conviction that the results
to be achieved were far greater than
those that get recorded In statisti-
cal tables. He felt that In teaching
men how to make the soil yield more
he waB straightening the backs of
men themselves and enabling them
to stand full-statured. Dr. Knapp
was a great farmer, but, above that,
he was a splendid humanitarian.
The energies of the department of
agriculture are directed In many
ways. It Is doubtful if any o£ them
has resulted in more good than its ef-
fort to propngate alien plants in this
country. Dr. Knapp was a pioneer In
this kind of work, and he quit It only
when he had demonstrated the feasi-
bility and immense value of it. and
thus assured Its continuance. Clim-
ates and soils could not be modified,
but perhaps plants susceptible of be-
ing naturalised to the soil and climate
could be found. The validity of that
Idea was proved, and Dr. Knapp was
among the foremost cf those who did
the work of proving It. Ail section
of the world, civilized and uncivilized
have been searched for plants that
might he made to thrive on soil and
In climates which seemed to defy
