The 1903 farmers attending the Uni

ance of education and the good work
being done by the University Cotton
School. The resolutions conclude as
follows:
"Inasmuch as the income Of the
stade is approximately $5,000,00O Ia
year. It is certainly not asking too
much that one-hundredth part of this
revenue be set aside for the mai1lte-
name of agricultural education, which
is the backbone of the state"

of the board of trustees of the agricul-

tension of the time for the next term.
The interest in the school is growing
