Mi. McKirgan, who has been
spending the summer with his son
Charles on the farm near Des
MONIES, Iowa returned home last
week makingthe trip overland with
his horse and buggy. He says the
winter wheat and oats crops in
that part of Iowa are good, but the
corn crop will be light. In fact all
along the route the corn was very
poor until he reached Cherokee,
Iowa, when it commenced to look
better, and from Cherokee clear to
Scotland there were prospects of Q
good yield.

To TEACH COTTON
CHASING At A. AND N.

The fifth annual session of the sum-
mer school for cotton chasing will be
conducted at the A. and NJ. College,
beginning June 16 and continuing six
weeks, lasting throughout the Farmers
Short Course, Farmers Congress, and
the Farmers Institute, which will be
conducted at College Station the latter
part of July.
This year ]. B. Bagley, in charge of
the cotton CHASING school at A. and NJ.
has secured the services Of J. w.
Brown of Memphis, Tenn, a cotton
man of long experience and rated as
one of the best cotton classers in the
South Mr.. Brown has his own ideas
about cotton CHASING, and he will ex-
plain his views to the summer school
students. The instruction will be
given in the textile building and the
students will have also the advantage
of studying the manufacture of cotton
goods at the A. and NJ. mill Fiber
testing machines, the property of the
State experiment station, will be used
and explained to the students. Board
and room will be afforded at the cam
pus hotels, and arrangements are
being made to accommodate a large
number of students. There will be no
summer school on the A. and NJ. cam
pus and those enrolled in the summer
school will be free from conflict with
other students.
At the cotton chasing school a
study will be made of the element
which determines the commercial
grades of cotton; the influences which
affect the price of cotton; the system
of financing the crop from the field to
the factory; and the relation OF ex-
changes to the business in general.

is known to have exceeded the speed
attained by the famous race horse
Sysonby. Instantaneous photographs

stride as about twenty-six feet In

hind quarters and the limbs are raised
considerably higher than the shoulders
and from this relatively great height
brought downward and forward. wide

fore legs" The hare which is hunted
with fast hounds has not in reality the
speed of the dog The dog. on the
other hand, does not attain the speed
of the horse The giraffe Is said to
run at the rate of fifteen meters (yards)
per second under the most favorable
conditions The elephant, going at the
rate Of two yards a second, carries
weight approximatng that carried by
six horses.
