Mr.. Somerville would have won his
bet about the farmers at the agricul-
tural lecture. There were less than
twenty-five who had come to hear the
experts, but the county superintendent
of education had managed to corral
about twelve boys Of various ages in
the room. tn *
Joe and Mr.. Somerville were inter

lecturers said was perfectly plain and

In the afternoon the president Of the

the state commissioner Of agriculture.
