While the number OF listed instruc.

However, salaries and labor at the
College of Agriculture for the ibien-

Add to this more than 5000, 900 for the
Experimental station and you have
practically $1,000 day for every day

Total receipts at the farm school
from June. 1912, to July I, 1914, were
$551 ,50432 and at the Experiment

reached the foreign Office today. The

ues to monopolize interest It is not
expected that reply to the note will
be drafted for several days. 1t is
pointed out that a document which
took weeks to draft, hardly can be
digested by the cabinet at one meet

foreign secretary, who returned to

desk and scarcely had time to read
it, much less to consider 1t before
the meeting of the cabinet.
