The Missouri Department of Agri-

says:
1.-The Board of Agriculture, in pur-
suance of the purpose for which it was
organized, the promotion of the agri-
cultural interests of the State, will
hold several Farmers Institute meet

specialists will deliver practical ad-
dresses on topics of constant interest
to the working farmer The Board
desires to hold several meetings, one
or more after the harvest, during the
month of August, and several during
the early part of the winter
All expenses of these Institute meet
ings, excepting hall hire, will be met
by the Board. Meetings will be held
where the interest manifested promis-
es n good attendance. The Secretary
is desirOus of an early response from
those communities wishing an Insti-
tute meeting, that speakers NAV be
engaged in season for an ample notice
of the meeting to be given.
