FROM A PRACTICAL FARMER.
Thinks Uncertainty Should Be ELM
mated From Financial Support.

One of the best known practical
farmers in Missouri, T. c. Wilson,
secretary of the state board OF agri-
culture, heartily endorses the Elev-
enth Constitutional Amendment,
which will guarantee the State Uni
versity, including the College Of Agri-
culture, a stable and permanent in
come.
Says Mr.. Wilson;
"The efficiency of our College oil
| Agriculture as well as all the
branches Of our great University, de
ponds largely on the stability Of Its
financial support. and it follows very
naturally that any plan tending tt
eliminate uncertainty from the inan
cial support Of the University Will IN
creaes its power for good.
"As a practical farmer | therefore
hope the Eleventh constitutional
amendment will be adopted in Novem
Der by a big majority
THE Eleventh Amendment, whicl
is the last amendment on the ballo
to. be voted ON November 8, shout

MISSOURI AGRICULTURAL COL
LEoE ENGAGED IN MOST IN.
TENsELY PRACTICAL WORK.
PROFITABLE TO FARMERS
Experiments Made at This institution
Have Been Instrumental In
Raising Yield Of Fields
and Orchards.

No investment Of state revenue
more profitable to the farmers OF
Missouri can be made than by pro-
viding adequate support for the State
University, including the Agricultural
College, The adoption OF Constitu-
tional Amendment No. II, to be voted
on November 8, is expected by the
friends of the Institution to guarantee
such support.
The Agricultural College is not a
mere school of theory, but ON the
contrary is engaged in most intensely
practical work. AS an instance OF Its
work in the state may be cited Its
accomplishments in preventing the
spread of hog cholera. In 1909 the
College Of Agriculture ~inoculated 40,
900 hogs in Missouri, So per cent o.
which lived, resulting in a saving &c
the farmers Of oyer 100000 in one
year.
The Agricultural College has In
creased the yield Of wheat In certain
portions of northwest Missouri i
bushels to the acre; demonstrated
that the yield of corn in southwes
Missouri may be increased from 2
to As bushels per acre at an average
net profit Of 1865 per acre. and con
clusively shown that correct soil mar
agement will increase the clover yiel'
on a large part of Missouri's Glow
land from one-half to two tons pc
acre. When II is considered that Their
are in the state approximately 1000
900 acres devoted to the cultivatio
Of wheat, 100000 acres to thai Q
corn, and many hundred thousan
acres to that OF clover, the magnitud
of such services as have bee
rendered by this department Of tn
University Is appreciated.
In the instance Of increasing tn
yield Of corn, for example. II the di
coveries of the College Of Agricultuf
were put into effect throughout ii
5000, 900 acres of Missouri corn Ian
and the results should be only on
third as successful as those In sout
west Missouri, the increase In annui
production would be from 50,0O0,0'
to 100, 600, 900 bushels, at an annu
net profit Of s11,733,000 to the fari
:, ers of the state.

Just a plot to keep the Democrats
from gaining an additional member Of

they have shown a falling off in most
Of the counties, while everybody who

these counties have been gaining
steadily On population the last ten
