1t is interesting to note that Dea,
F. B. Mumford and Prof. ]. C. White,
voluntarily started the teaching a,
agricultural subjects during the sum.
mer about fifteen years ago. Ths
third year 25 per cent of the summs,
students in the University took ap,,
culture and the next year it was lis,.
ed in the catalogue with other i'm
dividual subjects. Now every rura,

THIS COLLEGE Open
z MONTHS IN YEAR
Work in Agriculture Is Car
ried On Here Without
a Break.

The College of Agriculture Is the
only division of the University that
runs full blast through the calendar
year.
Only those who are in immediate
touch with the college can see why It
should be so busy when the other
divisions have a relative lull during
the summer. The main reason for
the difference is that the college is
a more direct source of information
to the citizens of the state than any
other division of the University, es-
pecially to the farmer.
The College of Agriculture differs
from the other divisions in that 1t
deals with work that not only runs
through the year but may run for
a number of years before it can be
completed. The effect ON the soil
of continuous planting of corn, for
example, demands the closest atten-
ton. Each department is conducting
experiments of similar nature.
Many Letters to Be Answered.
Again, the enormous amount of mail
that comes daily must be answered
Immediately. The inquiries that come
in these letters from farmers are as
varied and peculiar as the cases
Colonel Gothals deal with in his
famous little Sunday Court on. the
Isthmus. This one phase of work is
an important factor in eliminating
prejudice against the college.
Every department is planning or is
doing some particular kind of work.
The extension department will con-
duct demonstration schools at the
county fairs and movable five-day
schools, where there is a demand for
them. The forestry department takes
its students to the Ozarks for labora
tory work during the summer. The
agronomy department is making soil
surveys in connection with the same
department at Washington, d. C. The
agricultural chemistry department is
and analyzing commercial
fertilizers. The farm management
department is making a survey of
rural conditions in various sections
of Missouri and showing farmers
where they stand economically and
why. The horticultural department
is making demonstrations in spraying
and fighting orchard pests wherever
they occur. The department of ami
NAL husbandry is busy caring for the
stock on the farm. The dairy depart
ment is testing dairy herds to elimi-
nate disease and scrub mixers.
Courses In Summer School.
Aside from all these duties, the col
ege is giving courses in the depart
ments of horticulture, animal hus-
bandry and agronomy to summer stu

The Honey Bee.

Hilda Wilson, the central figure OF
Samuel Merwin's "The Honey Bee,
is so faithful and alive that she might
have been taken bodily from the
ranks of American business women
The depths of her woman nature are
stirred as she meets first one possi-
bility and then another that might
bring her the inrichment of exist
ence for which she longs. She sees
that each one is full of its own COM
plications and seeming to have both
right and wrong on its every side.
Her story is one of the truest ami
most vivid pictures of American lie
in modern fiction. (Bobbs- Merrill
