A Slogan TO "Take The College To
Tho People

Columbia, Mo-, May 25.-Eyery
farmer and his wife and Missouri
farm boy and girl will have az oppor-
tunity in the next two years to partic-
ipate in the educational advantages
Of the college af agriculture Of the
University of Missouri.
With $15O,O72 available for the
extension work in the next two years,
the Missouri College of Agriculture is
beginning a campaign on a large
scale to take the college to the
.,'eIdoed
This fund comes as a result OF the
Smith-Lever Act, fathered in Con-
gress by Representative Lever and
Senator Hoke Smith. 1t was signed
by the president May s, 1914. Each
state receives $4,000 year and in
addition a sum is divided among the
states on the basis of their relative
rural population. To receive the lat
ter fund the state legislature must
appropriate an equal amount. Mis-
souri's share was $65,O36 and the
legislature met the requirement. The
plans of expenditure must be ap-
proved by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The agricultural extension service
has under consideration nine pro-
jects. The extension department was
organized last year with four men
giving their time to the work. Since
then eight extension workers have
been added; two others have been
appointed to begin work the present
summer and one position is open.
In addition to this number the agri-
cultural extension service includes
fifteen county agricultural agents
with one supervisor.
One of the nine projects under
confederation, dairying, probably will
receive first attention. Tois is rec
ognition of the fact that Missouri is
passing thru stage of development
IN it's agriculture which has charac-
terized all of the states north and
east-that is, a gradual changing
from a grain producing to dairying.
Movable schools of agriculture and
home economics, providing for a
school of from two to five days at any
point in the state, also are under con-
sideration. The organization of per-
manent community clubs to study ag-
riculture and community interests is
to be part of the work.
Another project provides for prac-
tical demonstrations on farms, start
ing with phases of farm work in the
community where special problems
are to be solved and organizing the
work in such a way that when the de-
sired result is accomplished the en-
tire community can be present on the
farm where the work is in progress
to see it at first hand. Another prof.
ect deals with insect control.
Wherever orchard interests justify,
orchards will be selected for demon
stration purposes and the farmers in
vited to come in and see the results.
The furnishing of plans, including
blue prints and specifications for
farm buildings, especially the con-
struction of silos; also is included in
the extension project, as also are the
organization of boys and girls clubs

FIRE INSURANCE CANCELLED
A Leading Company Takes Action
Ownu to Many Montpelier Fires.

OWlng 10 Mdny montpelier TlTes.
Montpelier, Jan. Alt became
known today that a leading fire insilr-
ance company has cancelled all insur-
ance on granite plants in this city and
it is rumored that other companies
are planning to follow suit.
Insurance on plants at Barre Will
continue ass usual, it is understood,
this action is taken by the companies
on account of the heavy loss in this
city by fire during the past 10 or Is
years and while the rate is at pres
ent almost prohibitiye. even the insur
ance concerns did not care about taxi
ing the risk
During the past IA years there have
been 10 granite plants burned to the
ground in Montpelier with loss to.
falling over 100000
At Mortified, Waterbury and viii
Jamestown, two each have been burn
ed, while at Barre, but one has been
destroyed in the same period OF
time.
In Barre it is pointed out watch
men are employed by nearly all the
owners to guard the property, hence
the explanation of the slight loss sus-
tanned in that city when compared
with other places in the county.
