Soils and Crops Program During
Farmers Week Will Inter-
est Farmers.


New problems are continually
presenting themselves to Mis-
souri, farmers, but they all go
directly or indirectly to
enc of the oldest problems with
which farmers have to deal. The
soil is one of course the funda-
mental basis of all farming.
Soil management and crop adap-
tations are therefore the most
pressing problems before mod
ern farmers.
The soils and farm crops de-
partments of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture
have arranged extensive pro-
grams for Farmers Week, Janu-
airy l to 5. The subjects which
will be discussed probably will
appeal to a larger class of farm
ers than those of any other de-
partment. A list of farm crops
and soil subjects follow:
Tuesday, January 2: Twenty
five years of rotation and manur-
ing experiments; The soybean
crop, its production and uses
Soil management and farm prof
its; a demonstration of the
methods of inoculating legumes
Wednesday, January 3: Alfal-
ia and Sweet Clover as Mis-
souri, Forage Crops; Soil activ.
ity and lining; factors which in.
fuence the yield of corn; the
program of the Missouri state
Corn Growers Association will
be held from 1870 to 500 p. m.
Thursday, January a: Sol
bacteria and how to influence
them the value Of the sorghum
crop; wheat insects; soil testing
demonstration.
Friday, January 5: Varietie:
of wheat, oats, barley and rye
soil erosion, its Importance ant
control; the smuts and rusts O
cereals and their control, tn
soils of Missouri, and the use o
soil maps, examination for certi
fled corn judges.

TABOOS RAGTIME PLAYING
BY STUDENT CADET BAND
Says That Classical Music Is a
Part of University Ed
ucatiOn.


There is one student cadet
band in the Missouri Valley
which does not play ragtime-
the University Cadet Band I'M
der the direction of George Ven
able. The band is ranked as one
of the best student organiza-
lions in the United States
students can learn ragtime
at home and people can hear it
played by any minstrel or vaude-
vile troupe on the road" Mr..
Venable says. What they lack
is an appreciation of classical
music and an education toward
it. BY becoming familiar with
classical music in the University
of Missouri, the members of the
cadet band, most of whom are
from the smaller cities of the
state, will carry their knowledge
back to their home towns not
only beneftting themselves but
beneftting the entire commun-
ity. 1t is with the idea of
teaching the members Of the
band and the students of the
University who hear them the
true worth of the real music
that the programs and selections
of the University band are OF
the highest musical standards.

VERSATILE RED BEAN.
All Kinds of Dishes Can BE Made
from 1t, Curbing Cost of
Living.

Forty-nine varieties of a Tit
ian-haired bean are being eX-
hibited, as an Offering Of the
United States Department Of
Agriculture in reducing the high
cost Of living. The beans, which
have as a distinguishing feature
a thick rec hirsute adornment,
are the Soy and Sofa bean, ma
.tives Of China and q prime article
of diet there a few thousand
years before Boston, as the bean
centre of the United States, was
known.
The Soy bean is much used in
Chinese chop-suey restaurants,
and forms the basis Of the
brown sauce served on Chinese
restaurant tables. Yet a whole
course dinner, or the equivalent
for it, can be served from the
Soy bean in different forms, or
the various courses can be lump
ed together and served with
equally satisfactory hygienic re-
suits in a single dish.

MISSOURI MAN HELPS

As Official of Department of Ag-

lens for Farmers.

lens for Farmers.
The man who knows most
about the subject Of 'How to
Make the Farm Pay" in the
United States is a Missourian-
William j. Spillman, chief of the
Office Of Farm Management in
the Bureau of Plant Industry of
the u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture. Mr.. Spillman received. his
agricultural education at the
University Of Missouri. He was
graduated from the College of
Agriculture with a B. S. degree
in 1886 and received his masters
degree n 1890.
The work of Mr.. Spillman is
the subject of a personal article
in the January number of the
American Magazine under the
title Of "a Wonderful Question
Answerer," by Fred C Kelly.
Ellis province is to answer
questions" Mr.. Kelley writes
He knows more than any other
man in the country about "How
to Make the Farm Pay" There
may be others who know just as
much as Spillman about how to
run a farm in a given locality
but Spillman knows just what to
do in any part of the whole
United States. He could go any
place at random, take charge of
a farm, and make it pay a profit.
mo matter what the question
is, whether it is about crop rota-
ton, artesian wells, how to muf-
file a hydraulic ram or how to ar
range ones fields to secure the
minimum number of footsteps,
or market guinea pigs, SpilIman
has the answer ready"
Spillman gets more mail than
the President of the United
States, the writer asserts.
HE has a bigger acquaintance
on rural free delivery routes
than any man in the United
States, And those who know
him look on him as a sort of q
helping hand society, so that he
is both well and popularity
known"

Dear Madam want to give n shower tn a
girl who is to he married shortly and | am
anxious To make IL surprise party. I want
the other girls who work in the office with us
TO come to the party. How shall | go about
asking them and what kind of a shower would
YOU advise me TO give? QGEENIE.
The best way to invite the girls who are
with you in your Office would be by word of
mouth-that is, do not write invitations,
but tell each girl about your plans for the
shower and ask her to come. You will
have TO be careful to speak only To one or
two at time, as the girl for whom the
party is to be given will be sure to notice
that something is going on about which she
Is ignorant and it might hurt her feelings
or give her an idea of the surprise in store
