the big evening mass meetings when
distinguished men will speak on topics
related to the farm and to the home.
This phase Of short course value will
be strengthened also by the many COM
ferences and conventions of argricul-
tural horticultural and women's or
ganizations Of the week. Last year
some twenty different meetings were
held on the campus and this year the
number will be increased somewhat.
In an inspirational way the largest fea :
ture Of the week will probably be the
great farmers banquet. Arrangements
are under way for accommodating at
least thousand guests, and everybody
at all interested in agriculture will be
welcome to attend.
Professor Bliss 10 Honored.
Perhaps the highest honor that could
come to man in his line OF work has
been received by r. X. Bliss. head Of
the agricultural extension department
at iowa state college. who has been
elected chairman Of the extension sec
ton of the American association of ag-
rlcultural colleges and experiment sta
tons, according to word inst received
at the college from Washington, d. c..
where the association Is in session.
Mr. Bliss is known as one of the
most progressive men in extension
work in any college in the country A
graduate of Iowa state college In 1905.
he has wide experience in extension
work for the past eight years, with the
exception Of two years spent in expert
ment station work in Lincoln Nsb
Indications are that the agricultural
extension department at Ames, which
reached almost 100000 persons in
Iowa last year will carry the gospel OF
better agriculture to many thousands
more than that during the next year.
