 ING TO AMERICA.
Purpose to Look Into Methods Elm l.sployed in Agriculture by People
 on This Side of the
 Atlantic.

 latge delegation of the most eminent pro- nuDters of agriculture in the German em- piee, appointed by the German Agricul- tsral Society, is now on it's way to visit the United States. The distinguished Germans will make an extended visit through the Northwest, going as far as the Pacific coast. The fact that they are coming to this country to investigate the farming methods and look at the farm lands of this country, and the further fact that their itinerary almost entirely onits the South, have interested your correspondent to inquire wherefore the most fertile region of the United States, that embraced in the blessed country south of the Potomac and Ohio Rivers. has been omitted from the list of places 10 be visited by the Teutonic farmers and scientists s. 1.
 Asseeins that upon learning of the con- templated visit, an agent of the Agri- cultural Department was sent to the Ger nam Embassy with the result that an itinerary was arranged which will carry the-yisitors through the Northwest to the Paciffc coast. and that they will not go South except for days visit at Lexing- ton. Ky. When the party lands in New York. they will at once proceed upon their tour Visiting in the order named, and beginning Saturday. May 2, New Jersey, Ohio. a day in Kentucky, St. Louis, Kansas City, Des Moines and Iowa, Omaha and Nebraska. Denver and Colo rado, Salt Lake City and Utah. San Francisco and California. ..- Portland and Oregon. Spokane and Washington; thence eastward, visiting Montanai the Dakotas, Wisconsin. Illinois, Michigan and New York State. The agent of the Agricul- tural Department who arranged the itinerary is J. l.. Schulte, of the office of experimental stations.
 It Is believed by those in Washington who know that the South has by far the best farming country in the world, that this distinguished party of Germans should, be met by an agent representing each Southern State and every possible tnducenient made to secure a visit from them. rtt~. -,.,------G
