AGRICULTURE
The Rage at Missouri Uni

Columbia, Mo-. Jan. %. -Agricul-

souri, University. Since last Septem-
Der this department has advanced
with such strides that it has surpasses
all other studies in popualriay. Mem
bers of the faculty are enrolling them
selves as students in order to enter
the poultry department. Students
calling themselves "Short Horns =
have inaugurated q series of social
entertainments to be given during the
year to be known as agricultural
parties" This week a party of girls
from the St. Louis 'Fswen set'' arriv-
ed here to enter the dairy depart
ment, last week the students adopted
an agricultural yell, and yesterday at
"a mass meeting preparations were
completed for an agricultural journal
to be conducted solely by students
and an editorial staff was elected.
During the last three months let
ters have been received from Egypt,
Turkey, Scotland, Canada, Mexico,
South America and other foreign
points from prospective students no
tifying the university authorities of
their intention to enter the agricul-
tural department next year A whole
colony of students are coming from
Egypt. The party will be accom-
panied by two Turkish students, who
will also enter the agricultural de-
partment. The popularity of the Mis-
souri, college in Egypt is largely due
to the efforts Of Cobra Salem, an
Egyptian student from Alexandria,
who recently entered here. He has
been sending circulars broadcast
through Egypt advising his country
men to come to Missouri University.
Their ultimate object will be to in
troduce American methods of seienti-
fic husbandry in their native land.
An unexpected result of the agri-
cultural rage is its development into
social factor. An agricultural

week was an innovation Tt was Civ
