FARM SCHOOL IS
WELL ATTENDED
Able Men Are in Charge of the
Course of Instruction
There.

Instructors of the agricultural
school. which is being held at shinns-
ton, are said to be well pleased with
the attendance the school has re-
ceived from the farmers and agricul-
turists of that section. The extremely
cold weather OF the forepart OF the
week probably kept many from going
to the school, especially those living
some distance away. Not only are
the instructors pleased with the at
tendance, but the interest displayed
by the attendants and their evident
desire to gain as much knowledge as
possible from the weeks school has
added much to the effect of the school
and the good it will do.
The subjects under consideration
during the week were horticulture,
farm crops and soil fertility. They
were discussed by men of experience
both in theory and practice and many
valuable hints We're heard by the
farmers of Harrison county.
Most prominent among the instruc-
tors is S. w. Moore. of Gallipofis
Ferry, w. Va, one of the most sue
cessful orchard growers in the state
He has been instructing the school
all week and has done much towards
its success. C. r. Tltlow, state d.
rector of agricultural extension, also
addressed the school. f. w. Sheets,
formerly from upper Harrison county,
but now instructor in the College of
Agriculture at Morgantown, addressed
the school two DAYS. l. s. Cook, Jr..
head of the agronomy department of
the state university, instructed the
school Wednesday and Thursday and
addressed the body Friday. w. H.
Alderman, professor of horticulture,
West Virginia University, was one OF
the instructors of the school Friday.
The school will end Saturday.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 49,
Milton Whitney, chief of the bureau

partment of Agriculture, has ad-
vised the Southern Commercial Con
gress that he will be present at the
fourth annual convention Of the
congress in Nashville, Tenn. April
$40, and that he will preside over
soils conference.
As the question Of maintaining
soil fertility is the most crucially
important question to all mankind,
and as comparatively few agricul-
turalists have yet learned how to
build up soils, the Importance OF
this conference will be Immediately
appreciated by both country and
city alike.
Managing Director Dave will con-
fer with Mr.. Whitney as to the gem
eral program and speakers in this
conference. Several points will be
brought out.
First, the south's astonishing di-
versity of soils.
Second, the extraordinary amount
of unoccupied land in the South.
Third, the methods of maintain
ing and increasing fertility, both
with and without the use of COM
mercial fertilizers.
Fourth, adapting crops to soils.
Fifth, the building up of soils.
Attendance on the congress is
open to all. Special rates will pre-
vail on all southern roads.
