WASHINGTON. Jan. S0.-Senator

lar in purpose with the Lever Smith
bill viii now so to the house, and some
compromise will be effected at this
session whereby the work of the agri-
cultural schools and colleges will be
extended to reach the adult on the farm.
Credit for originating the scheme for
agricultural extension work is given 10
r. r. Yoakum. president of the St

Fertility league, the Farmers union and
the National Association of Agricul-

pHshed by almost a strict party vote
Senators Gardner and Johnson, OF
Maine, and MARITIME. of New Jersey
voted for the Page bill, and Senators
Bourne. Bristow, Cummins and LaFol-
lette, Republican progressives. voted
against.
An effort to secure reconsideration
will be made today, Senator Smith and
Representative Lever both inst that
the house will never accept the senate
bill.
The agricultural committee, of which
Mr.. Lever is the ranking member

a conference committee.
The Page bill authorizes the estab-
lishment in each land grant college OF
an agricultural extension department
to give instruction and practical dem
onstCations in agriculture and home
economics to farming communities

used for buildings and each state must
replace any amount that is lost or mis-
applied.
For special instructors in rural high
