Duke of Bedford Opens Farm School in England
A Duke established a farm school in his English bailiwick to educate poor boys in practical and theoretical agriculture. Nineteen boys work on the farm on alternate days while attending school the rest of the time. The superintendent receives land rent free and labor free, yet incurred a loss of around 200 pounds last year. Reports from twelve western farming states indicate a rise in land value since September 3, 1846, totaling about 47.7 million dollars across 416 counties, with Indiana’s forty nine counties showing a significant increase.
