AS an experiment the University
of Missouri this year organized a sum
mer course in agriculture, mainly for
the benefit Of persons who were am.
bilious to become instructors at ag-
ricultural experiment stations or to
take charge of large ranches in the,
West. The attendance has exceeded
expectations, showing the desire of
the young men OF that section of the
country to master the science of farm
ing. AS agriculture has been added
to the course of study in many of the
public schools in the West, there is a
demand for competent teachers whe
are practical farmers with a scientific
training.

THE COTTON CROP.

The Present Prospects Are Not Very
Bright.
The New Orleans Times Democrat
of Sunday says:
We herewith present the reports of
the correspondents on the progress OF
the cotton crop during the month Of
September.
With rare exceptions the changes
in the status were distinctly for the
worse and the average condition is,
no doubt, the lowest ever known
since crop reporting assumed sys-
tematic form.
Texas has heretofore been a bright
spot on the map, but the tremendous
wind storms and torrential rains have
brought the expectations of the Lone
Star State within very moderate linn
it's.
Arkansas and Louisiana are very
spotted, while Che result in Missis-
sippi is veritable disaster.
Alabama is not quite so bad, but
is still quite bad enough. Georgia
and the Carolinas are not far behind
Mississippi in the matter of badness.
1t must be remembered that the
Times-Democrat correspondents take
the yield of 1899 as the basis OF COM
parison. As the production of last
year was only 100000 bales, it
would appear that the harvest of 1900
has given the trade an exceedingly
knotty problem to solve.
The final report will be printed on
November l.
