SOLVE 1T NOW.

1t is not the economic side of the
farmers life that is the big problem
today. To be sure that is a problem.
But most farmers recognize that it ia
not the pressing one. The problem
that demands immediate solution is
that of the social life on the farm.
1t has not been the economic attrac-
tions that have taken the young men
from the farm to the cities. 1t has
rather been the social attractions.
There is no doubt that in the past
there has been too much hum-drum
work-a-day life on the farm. The
side attractions have been too few.
The monotony of the work has been
too much.
If Farmers Week can throw some
light on this problem and go just a
little way toward its solution, it will
be double success.

Works Of Magazine Illustrators En-
liven Water Color Exhibition.
The Art Lovers Guilds latest ex-
hibit is the most popular shown 30
far this year. At all the open hours
students may be found viewing the
collection of water colors in the arch
aeological museum. The bulk Of the
exhibition is composed Of water COL
ors, but there are several pasteis
and one "gouache," "The Senator by
W. C. Emerson. One Of the water col
ors is painted on vellum. 1t Is q
series of decorative panels to Illus
trate Shakespeare's Twelfth Night"
Professor Pickard praises the exhi-
bition. He said: art does not have
to be an imitation of nature to be
good. Probably the masterpiece OF
the collection technically is the snow
scene by w. l.. Palm who has shown
us in the picture that realistic snow
can be painted by using, not pure
white, but greyish blue"
The collection is the same as the
New York exhibit of last year. All
the paintings are done by Americans
who are now working. The works OF
many of the best contemporary maga-
zine illustrators are in the exhibit.
Among them are Edmund s. Campbell,
Jane Peterson, A. I. Keller, Francis
Bassett Comstock, Anne Merriman

two beautiful pastels by Birge Har-

FARMER ENTHUSIASM.

The enthusiasm of Farmers Week
is as valuable to the farmer who at
tends as the instruction he receives
from the various lectures. A nudge
in the ribs from a friend in Galloway
County and an argument concerning
the proper cultivation of COW peas
with a farmer from Cooper does the
Howard County agriculturist as much
good as an hours lecture by one Of
the faculty experts.
Fellowship counts half in the sue
cess of any convention. Missouri
farmers are good fellows.

SURE CROP EVERY FIVE YEARS

T. E. Lyon, Boone County Farmer,
Has Rule for PrOphesying Yield.
A year the date of which is divisible
by willy bring a good crop. especial
ly of corn, and all years with dates
ending in 1 are apt to be dry, accord
ing to T. E Lyon, a farmer from the
northwest part of Boone County, who
is here for Farmers Week. Mr.. Lyon
has made a study of the regularity in
which he claims good and bad crops
occur. He says that he lately over
heard a group of "old-timers" talk
ing about this and that they agree
that for fifty years the rule has held
good.
All the farmers here agree that so
far the season has been ideal both
for animals and plants. The dry spell,
said Mr.. Lyon, has served to loosen
up the land for next years crop.
A. B. Arlis, a farmer from Millers-
burg, corroborated the statement that
years divisible by were good, and
A. ]. fMcKinzie, who lives north of
Columbia, also said that years end
ing in 1 were likely to be dry.
Edward Thompson, a farmer north
east of town, who is a successful hog
raiser, says that up to the end Of
December he was able to feed his hogs
outside. No other year has he remem-
bered being able to feed animals out
SO long.
There is some comment among the
farmers on the sleet that has fallen
lately. Mr.. McKinzie said that,
should the sleet get thick on the
fields. it may kill some of the wheat.
Two years ago fall of sleet smother
ed some of the wheat on fallow land.
Most farmers agree that q good
frost now would be a great benefit to
the land in preparation for next years
crop.

MISSOURPS FARMERS.

The Missouri farmer has swept his
state into the first rank as a produc-
tive commonwealth. He is a producer
who figures his output in world fig-
ures. The annual output in cold fig
ures looms forth like a United States
treasury statement.
In a few single articles other
states may out-distance Missouri but
in the corn, wheat, oats, cotton, tobac-
co, wool, hay fruits and vegetables
the Missouri farmer forges ahead OF
all competitors.
The Missouri farmer raises pure
bred cattle horses, mules, sheep and
hogs that pluck prizes throughout the
country. The live stock growing
equipment of the state exceeds a bill
zion dollars and the cultivated farms
are beyond the two billion mark.
And the Missouri farmer is anxious
to break still more records; he want,
to make the statistician compute y
even more ponderous figures. And h
knows the College Of Agriculture o
the University is ready to assist hin
in every way possible. His Farmers

THE'NEW BOOKS
The Dreamer.

Romney is an artists daughter who
loves beauty and refinement. Into her
life come two men. One is a poor
artist, whom she loves but hesitates
to marry because she has learned from
her mothers life what it is to be the
wife of a poor artist. The other man
is wealthy and plays upon her love
for the things that money can buy.
But she does not love him. She has
the alternative Of marrying a poor
artist, whom she loves, and living over
again the life of her mother, or a
wealthy man whom she does not love,
but who can get for her all things
she wants.
Romney's father has attained some
fame as an artist, but he has lived
for art alone. In his old age there
comes an awakening-that life is
greater than art. In his absorption in
his profession, he has forgotten to
live. He has been a dreamer, has neg
lected his wife and daughter. In the
climax his wife states boldly and
frankly the attitude of a modern wo-
man toward life.
