Missouri Farmers Week.

those who travel, read and think. Onf
good thing after another is offered tc
the stockman for his benefit. Thi'
has been an exceptional year for these
opportunities, and many Of Americas
meat producers have seen and studied
the great marts from whence comes
the ultimate demand for their product,
| They have stood at the ringSide and
studied the premier exhibitions OF theil
tavorite breed. These men are making
money and living well. They are the
upto date farmers OF every community.
And yet they all say they cannot learn
and observe enough.
These men are always in attendance
at farmers meetings, to talk with the
big breeders. These basic breeders,
Representatives Of every breed, will be
in attendance and deliver lectures dur
ing farmers Week at the Agricultural
College at Columbia, Mo , January
1917, 1918. How many Missouri
farmers cannot afford to be awake to
these things at first hand? This year
should see more farmers at Missouri
Farmers Week to learn and preserve
the good things given them for prac
tical benefit than ever before.
More travelling means more leaning,
and Farmers Week affords most ex-
cellent opportunity for this. It is the
man with brains and an insight into
human nature who invariably succeeds,
md nowhere can men mingle with a
better class Of men than during the
weeks convention at Columbia.
Your business may be slack and a
loss seem evident. The time and
money spent at Columbia during
farmers Week may help to fud ,hr
cause for such a condition. It may
be on this visit that you will have a
chance to meet some farmer who has
successfully solved the very problem
with which you are now confronted.
Missouri Farmers Week is the clearing
house for up,to date, practical ideas,
void Of theory.
Practically $4,000 is to be given
away as premiums in the Missouri
State Corn Show, which is also held
during Farmers Week; and the M S
sour State Corn Growers Association
holds its annual meetings NJ the same
time. Mr.. Z. B. Hutchinson, Columbia,
Mo, is secretary Of this organic ,tlon
and a copy OF the premium list can be
obtained from him.
There is an actual shortage Of beri
