Wimbledon, was a recent visitor at the
college shops to investigate the nature
Of the work carried on there, and the
college is now informed that # Moore
Bros. wish TO place with the college a
gasoline traction engine Of the latest and
most up-to-date design, and that the
engine is already on the road here On
account Of floor space in the shops it is
feared that this engine will have to be
stored where it will not be inlmed iately
available for demonstration purposes.
The eighth annual Grain Growers
convention is now a thing of the past
and a matter Of history The verdict
|.of those who have attended is that it
was the best that has been held. This
organization has been repeated SIR
prise from year to year in the matter
Of attendance and interest. During the
earlier conventions it was thought
necessary BY President Worst, upon
! whom has fallen the responsibility for:
| the arrangement Of the program, to have
President James j. Hill or some other
notable to draw a crowd, but the com
vention Of 1907 with no such special at
traction has exceeded all others in at.
tendance and certainly no previous ses-s
sions have shown greater interest With

Tor, in some roads, even possible, it Is
lizard to predict what the attendance
/ would have been, but assuredly the opera

The college has been given and deserves
great credit for the success Of these
conventions, for with President Worst
4 as architect Of the program and eleven
1 members of the faculty appearing on the
i program this season, one cannot fail to
4 realize that the agricultural college is
taking large responsibility in this mat
ter A great number of the delegates to
a the convention have visited the college
i where they have been doubly welcome.
