States Department of Agriculture;
DR.. w. J. Spillmnn of Washington,
ID. c.; Prof. G. A. Zavitz, Of Guelph,
Ontario, and many others.
There was feast of good things,
and throughout the entire meeting
the keynote was better things for
the Missouri farmer and the Mis-
souri, farmers family. The Home
Makers Conference was one of the
very best features of the program.
Among the speakers was Miss Mar
tina Van Rensselaer, of the Depart
ment of Home Economies, Cornell
University, New York, who spoke
on "what the State may do for the
farmers Wife," She declared that
the greatest woman in all history is
the Missouri farmers wife who
finds time to attend to the house
hold duties and to bring up family
OF boys and girls In the proper way.
men and womenr, said Miss Van
Rensselaer,, "should work together
for the eonveniences of the farm
home" She gave II as her opinion
that the best right that can be given
TO woman is to give her the intel
ligence that will make her an ideal
wife and mother, for there is no
higher calling given to woman than
to learn how to keep home"
Every dollar, said she. "that the
Missouri Legislature can be induced
to give to betterment of homes will
be well expended"
Rural school questions, with
I special reference to the teaching of
agriculture, were discussed at length,
and consolidation of districts urged
by many In order that the country
boy and girl may have educational
advantages equal to those afforded
the city child.
There were papers, discussions
and addresses on almost every sub
ject In which the Missouri farmer Is
Interested. The program was, in so
far as possible, "show me" one,
with demonstrations, stock and
grain judging, dairy, apple and corn
shows. DIR. j. w. Connaway gave
a demonstration In the methods of
the control of hog cholera, after
talk on the control of the disease.
This, like other features, is of vital
interest to Missouri farmers.
Missouri Farmers Week has be-
come the big educational gathering
of the year for Missouri farmers
and its influence is far reaching.
Already Dean H. j. Waters, Secre-
tary Geo. b. Ellis and the officers
of the various associations are plan
ming for a still greater meeting next
year.

Year-Three In Arkansas.

Washington, Dec. 10. Lynch
ings in 1909 have numbered sew
enty, the highest number record
ed since 1904. The victims num-
bered eleven whites and fifty
nine negroes.
The lynchings occurred in
twelve states and one territory,
New Mexico. AS in previous
years crimes or alleged crimes
against white women and muir.

mary executions. One case, oc-
curing in Cairo, ILL.,, combined
both causes and resulted in the
placing Of the city under military
control for several days. The
Cairo lynohings were the only
cases Of the kind that occurred
north Of the Ohio river during
the year. Oklahoma furnished q
quadruple lynching, with four
cattlemen as the victims,
BY states the seventy lynchiLg
cases here recorded are classified
as follows:
