lleGe of subscribing to the new STOCK of
the company expired this afternoon. al
though the actual allotment OF subscrip-
lions cannot be learned until compuua-
tons are made, which will take ten
days. The officers of the company say
there is no doubt the final allotment,
amounting to 10000 shares. will be
taken. For some time rumor has been
current that Pennsylvania Railroad
stock had not been disturbed in any
perceptible way, but today il took q leap
of nearly five dollars share. This
sudden activity and enormous rise come
of the fact that on Third street today
the rumor of lease was given high
color by assurances that an agreement
had been perfected, and that the Penn,
sylvania Railroad Company had taken
the Lehigh Valley road and guaranteed
a dividend of from 10 to 15 per cent. on
that roads capital stock.

ORGANIZED AGRICULTURE.

The Secretary of the State Horticul-
tural Society, referring to n scheme for
recognizing the State Board of Agri.
culture, says:
q 1t is desirable, certainly, that some
law be enacted which shall unite the
various departments of agricultural
work in our State. We have all sorts
of societies that have been created in
the interests of agriculture in the State,
still there is little harmony of action
between them. There is no head that
all of them recognize.
The Agricultural College is educat-
ing young men for industrial pursuits,
trying some experiments and holding
some institutes-doing valuable work
under the direction of board of ag-
riculture. The title of this board is q
misnomer.
1t has nothing to do with Michigan
agriculture, save indirectly; it has sim
ply charge of the college.
There is connected with the Office of
Secretary of State department of
farm statistics, which issues bulletins
monthly and an annual report. Many
valuable things grow out of this insti-
tuition, but how inappropriately is it
connected with the department of
State. 1t is only accidental when the
head of this department is n farmer or
has any interest in agriculture. Why
should he have charge of bureau ar
ranged for the benefit of Michigan ag-
riculturel We have State agricul-
tural society, working independently
of any other institution. Until with
in very few years it was directly au-
tagonistic to the agricultural college,
and has no connection whatever with
the bureau of statistics.
Again, there is the State Horticultu-
raj Society engaged in developing a
special interest. and that has grown to
be a power for good simply through
the influence of a few public spirited
individuals, and the cordial sympathy
of the State Agricultural Society.
All these working institutions should
bear such relationship to each other
that their methods and objects should
be in harmony. They might strength
Ell each other and together be power
iur the uplifting ~ fhe Industrial utter
ests of Michigan that have not yet oeen
realized.
Michigan should have a head to It's
agricultural interests. III a law could

be enacted making the board of agri-
culture a board OF control, over not
only the agricultural college but over
an experimental station, the bureau of
statistics and department for the dis
seminotion of information among the
people-and the various organizations

men upon this board all would feel
glad to recognize head that would be
able to dictate harmonious measures

growers of Michigan need help in their
occupation, and should not waste any
of their erergies in antagonizing each
other through rival organizations.
