plished, it would satisfy him as to
its efficiency and that was to arouse
the love of the farm in n boy" His
son attended the school aud is be-
coming one of the States most
successful farmers.
One of the speakers made some
most profitable suggestions regard
ing blights and good pruning,
suggesting that a little knowledge
CLEANED from the reports the State
distribute free would help farmers
and gardeners to increase their
yields as well as guard against
losses by fungus growths.
NJ. F. Miller spoke on soil man
agement at another end of the
train to a squad of farmers. Among
other things he said:
You must constantly build mp
your soils to get the largest results
in farming. Your soils here are
lacking mostly in nitrogen, humus
and PHOSPHORUS. The system of
farming which you should adopt
is that system which will build up
these deficient elements. | believe
there is too much grain farming.
Grain farming burns out the hu-
mus that is necessary i'll soil to
keep it mellow and in good physi
cal condition as well as to main
tain in the soil a large stock of
available plant food. If you will
put back into the soil as much hui
mus as there was originally your
crop yields will be approximately
double with the same methods Of
culture.
You can build this humus NJ
through crop rotation, with such
crops as clover and cowpeas. 1t is
most rapidly built up when the
crops are fed back and manure re-
turned to the soil. There must b.
a change in crops, with more O.
the leguminous variety and les
grain. "

THE FARMER BOY.
The Agricultural College Came
Here to See Him Last Week.

The Missouri University has got
on the right track good and strong
in the last few years in the move
to educate the boys and girls back
to the farm instead of away from
the farm.
The Agricultural College is
standing for this move. The Col
lege is headed by Dean f. b.
Mumford, and for the work he is
doing for the farmer boys of Mis-
souri, his praises are being sound
ed across the whole nation.
Mr.. Mumford aud his assistants
realize that our boys and girls can
not all come to the University,
hence they are bringing the Uni
versity to them as far as they can.
The Burlington railroad last
week furnished these teachers a
special train, free of cost, and they

sembled.
Prof. J. e. Written talked tt
the school children, followed b!
Mr.. MumfOrd. The two talks wer,
each along the same lines.
Mr.. Mumford made a stronl
point when he stated that the col
lege OF Agriculture and the Mis-
souri, Experiment Station had say

the State in single year than ha
been spent for the maintenance
of these institutions in the Who'll
