Now the young man may say, Jewett for he {s an old crank on farming anyway, but I don’t think tt would interest me. I could take half of that $20 and get lots more fun out of ft.” All true perhaps, but let! me tell you these men who are offer- {ng to put up your expenses are not dotng it to give you a good time alone, but in the expectation that you will see and hear things that will strengthen your Interest in the farm. That by coming {n contact with up- to-date men and methods you will week in January, and this is called “Farmers’ Week ” The cattle breeders, horse and mule breeders, sheep breeders, swine breed- ers, corn growers, .wheat growers, dairymen, cheese makers, etc.. are all there. The State Corn Growers’ Associa- tion hold thelr annual corn show there then, and anyone attending the meeting of one of these assocta- tlons has the benfit of all. TheAgrt- cultural College takes charge, makes out & program and arranges detalls that everyone may get the most benetit and pleasure out of his vists. The College, University, city and all unite in looking after and enter- taining thelr guests. Committees meet all trains and see that al! are located for board and lodging. You have liberty to see everything and guides are furnished to show and ox- plain. There is a large auditorium in the University in which you will! listen to lectures and see demonstra- tions by the very best men In thelr lines. The program each day begins at 9a. m. and every minute ts occu- pled till 10 p.m. The last two moet- ings have closed with a free banquet for the guests, one of the most enjoy- able features.

They expect that if you get interested you will make @ better farmer than your father, that your example will influ ence others and agriculture in Bates county will be boosted up a notch. Suppose you are not’ particularly in- terested in farming, won’t the trip and outing be well worth the cost? And the cost could hardly be less. Simply tell the Missouri State Bank that you want to enter the contest and get the 20 best ears of corn that you have helped to grow this season and take it to the Fair. Now a word to the older farmers. Why not go yourself this time? If you have worked on the farm all the year, you deserve and can afford a week’s vacation and the cost is trifl- ing. $20will beample. These meet- {ngecan’t help being a benefit. I will not say that all the best men of the state attend them, but I will say shat those that do attend areamong the best and most progressive men {o the state.
