HARTJE, HERRING
 10 LEAVE SUNDAY
INSPECT ACRI. SCHOOLS
Entire Legislature on Tour of Leading Farm acknowledgements by
 Commercial Club.

Senator George F. Hartje an( Representative-ele F.. T. Herring will leave tomorrow on the junket tt agricultural schools in Missouri, Iowa Illinois and Indiana proposed by J. R Alexander of Scotts as a means ot acquainting the entire legislature with what other states are doing for az. ricultural education. MT. Herring lately decided to join the party, and notified Senator Hartje yesterday to expect him. The expense of the en- tire trip will be borne by the various counties of the state, which have agreed to send their senators and representatives on the inspection tour. Locally, the expense will be met by the Conway Commercial Club, which voted at it's Tuesday night meeting to send both the senator and the repre- sentative.
 The special train carrying the party will leave the Union station, Little Rock Monday morning at 9 o'clock. ed to all members of the party, advis- ed them as to the articles of clothing to be carried, and also gave the itin- erary. Mr. Alexander will meet the legislators Sunday night in the lobby of the Hotel Marion for the purpose of informing them of any details of the trip. The stops to be made will
 e as follows:
 November 30-University of Mis- souri, Columbia.
 December 1- Ames University,
 December 2-University of Illinois, Urbana.
 December 3-University 8 of Indiana, Lafayette.
 December 6-University of Arkan- sas, Fayetteville.
 At the universities to be visited, the legislators will be shown over the ag riculture departments and the experI- ment stations maintained by the states in which they are located. Ames and the University of Illinois have per haps the strongest agriculture schools to be visited on the trip, although Mis- souri and Indiana also rank high. The circular sent to members of the party does not give the route to be followed In the case of the jump from the Uni versity of Indiana to the University of Arkansas, the travellers possibly will return to St. Louis and reach Fay etteville over the Frisco. The tour ists will begin to disband there and finally separate when the special train reaches Little Rock on December 2.
 The expense to the Conway Con- mercial Club will be about $250. On first consideration, officers and mem- bers of the club were adverse to par ticipation in the tour, on account of the inspection the entire legislature will make at the State Normal School, when the house and senate are brought here at the expense of the club. Other counties of the state however, responded so literally to Mir Alexanders proposal it was thought failure of Faulkner county to parti- cipate would create slight prejudice against it and institutions located here. At it's last meeting, the club endorsed this tour and also the pro. ject for bringing the house and sen- ate here after the general assembly is convened in January.
 The promoters of the tour expect that the legislature will make more liberal appropriations for the Uni versity of Arkansas college of agri. culture at Fayetteville and the four district agricultural schools as a re, suit of the trip. Comparison of what the other states are doing for agri. cultural education and the limited ex. tent to which it has been carried ir Arkansas will doubtless stimulate the law makers to greater activity in be half of the state schools and result Tn larger appropriations for their sup port and enlargement.
