Anxious to Learn Farming.

The enrollmen in the first term of
the short winter course in agriculture
at Columbia is 10 this year., COM
pared with only 35 a year ago. This
large increase has taxed the labor
atories, classTooms and other equip
ment to the utmost. The enrolment
in the long course, also. has increased
beyond any previous year. More stu
dents are now enrolled in agriculture
at Colubia than any other school or
college in the university, excepting
only the college of arts and science.
The total enrolment in agriculture for
the year will reach more than 600.
Seven states and two foreign countries
are represented in the short winter
course enrolment.

MISSOURI STATE NEWS
No Pay for sunday Work.

In sweeping decision handed down
by Judge ]. NJ. Johnson of the Kansas
City court of appeals, newspaper con.
tracts for advertising to be printed on
Sundays are declared void and Of no
binding effect. The Judge declared
that such contracts were for work to
be done in violation of the Sunday
labor laws and, for that reason, could
not be enforced. The decision came in
the case of publishers: George W.
Knapp e Co., owners of the st. Louis
Republic, against jeremiah Culbertson,
president Of the International Explora-
ton company, with offices in the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce building.
Unless it is taken to a higher court,
1t virtually ends the matter, because
the judge declares that the newspaper
has no cause Of action. 1t reverses alb
solutely the decision of the circuit
court, which awarded a judgment to
the Republic All the judges of the
court concurred Culbertson had a
contract with the Republic for some
advertising to be printed in Sunday
Issues of that paper. The advertise
ments we're published as the news
paper agreed to do on April ~ and 80,
1908. Culbertson avoided payment and
suit was brought. The legal point
upon which the thing hinged was on
the legality of q newspaper taking a
contract to do certain things when the
criminal laws said, or purported to say
that those things we're not lawful. The
appellant relied, upon an old statute
which makes it unlawful to do any
work on Sunday except works of
household necessity, etc. 1.-THE con-
tract is void" said Judge Johnson, be-
cause it is against public morals and
public policy. The courts will not
lend their aid to enforcement of con-
tracts in violation of the criminal
laws.

Two Principal Farm Needs.

Water in the house for the farmers
wife and laborers in the field for the
farmer are the two necessities for the
improvement Of farm conditions. w.
L. Nelson, assistant secretary of the
state board of agriculture, sent to 600
Missouri farmers, representing every
county in the state, list Of questions
on country conditions. One of the
questions was, what in your opinion,
is the greatest problem with which the
farmer of to-day must contend?" The
answers differed widely, but there was
one that outnumbered all others.
That one was the labor problem on
the farm; how to keep help in the
fields and in the house. Farmers
wives were asked the question, What
one change or improvement about the
farmhouse would in your opinion, be
Of the greatest benefit to the house
wife," In other words, What would
the housewife rather have?" Again
there were many kinds of answers.
But the substance of more than 80 per
cent was, water in the house" The
question of farm help and home con-
veniences enters into the discussion
of all agricultural conditions.

Capitalist Farmers raunht.

Teaching capitalists how to handle
farm lands to obtain the maximum re-
turn on the money invested is a new
function that the Agricultural college
of the University of Missouri is per-
forming. A department of farm man
agement is being successfully operated
under the direction Of Prof D. H.
Doane, who will figure with any land
owner on the best methods for him to
use to get interest on his investment.
The methods of farming in Missouri
will be much improved by teaching
farmers at short courses and students
in the university how to conduct a
farm on a business basis.
