Thirteen Hundred Farmers Meet.

Thirteen hundred Missouri farmers,
representing 81 of the ia counties of the
state. attended the Farmers Week CON-
vention held under the auspices of the
State Board of Agriculture, in the Agri-
cultural College at Columbia, January 10
to 10. The Agricultural College put on
a four days short course in which prac-
teal instruction was given in live stock
judging, dairying, corn judging, poultry
raising, beef cutting, cooking and dozens
of other things in which Missouri farm
men and women are interested. Never
before has Missouri seen such a meeting.
1t was really a great school for grown
ups. Then it was more than a school,
for there was an inspiration which comes
as a result of the meeting together Of
men and women from the farm-an in.
spiration such as no mere school of the
ordinary kind can give.
Throughout the week there was study
and entertainment, and OF Friday night
the annual Agricultural College banquet,
attended by Governor Herbert S. Had
ley, a number of state Senators and rep
resentatives, and more than 400 farmers,
some with their wives who had come to
Columbia to share in the Home Makers
Conference and the other good things of
Farmers Week, was held. As the hap
py crowd of f~easters sat down to long
tables loaded with so many good things
from the College farm, orchards aud gar
dens nobody worried about it being Fri.
day, the thirteenth day OF tile month.
The fat steer ''Deserter" furnished grand
prize roast beef for the occasion. while
Missouri Chief Josephine, the worlds
record mich COW owned by the Agricul-
tural College, contributed to the supply
Of milk, butter and ice cream.
The Missouri State Corn Show was
held at Columbia during Farmers Week
and, with $50 entries of very superior
quality, was a fine feature. The grand
champion 10 ears were shown by James
G. Douglas, OF Shelbina, while Wade
Boots, Of Palmyra, won first on single
ear. The corn growers voted to ask the
legislature for 5000 to carry on their
work which means more and better 3
for Missouri. There was also a most
creditable mid. winter apple show, this
being under the management of the
State Horticultural Society,
The State Board Of Agriculture and its
affiliated associations held meetings dur
ing the week. Two new organizations
were added. One Of these is the Cattle
Feeders Association, the other an ssso
citation of county fairs.

Board of Agriculture were elected at the
regular annual meeting held during

According 20 the annual report Just
made by Sir George Newman, chief medi-
cal officer OF the Board OF Education, a
very large proportion OF the children at

schools suffer from more or less serious

school children OF England and Wales-lo

nizable form, to 2 per cent from heart
disease. In addition 10 actual disease. a
considerable percentage OF the children
are suffering In greater or less degree

that a state cannot effectually insure IL

Those who attended left Omaha feeling
that the three days OF the convention

w. Craig drove the L. M. T.. Red Wins
froa Omaha to Kansas City in
eleven hours and fifteen minutes. The
Bee was responsible for tho trip OF the
now famous car, which had already
travelled upward OF bl,o0O miles II was
amply proven, though, that in spite OF
the fact the RED Wing is an old car
long In active use. il can sim negotiate
any kind OF road successfully and swiftly.
The purpose The Bee had In mind when
Mr.. Craig made his trip was TO find and
establish the best route from Omaha TO
Kansas City. This project was made un-
necessary, in part at least, by the build
ing OF the Polock-Duff bridge over the
Platte River at Oreapolis, which prac-
tioally cuts In two the distance from
Omaha TO Plattsmouth, and is the con-
Meeting link that makes easily possible
the establishment OF an excellent Omaha

building OF the bridge, the route he fol-
lowed would very likely have been

ceded that Craig had followed the most

The Omaha Automobile club has blazed
the trail to Plattsmouth by erecting sign
boards at cross roads and painting white
bands on telegraph poles and trees. This
precauuon makes It comparatively easy
for travellers to keep TO the right
road, but the great thing over which they
are particularly rejoicing is the cutting
out OF the long detour by the Louisville
bridge. which was necessary before
Messrs. Pollock and Duff built the new
structure leading directly into Platts-
mouth. Citizens Of the latter town, and
farmers on both sides of the river, re-
gard the new bridge with as much salts
faction as do the autoists, because It has
solved a serious problem for them, too.
