Fifteen New Men for Missouri College Staff. With an increase of 227 per cent in the total enrollment of students at the Missouri College of Agriculture, it has been found necessary to enlarge the teaching force of the Institution. Fifteen new men have been added to the College and Experiment Station staff during the summer. This means that every department in the ‘College will have at least one more member than‘it has had heretofore. The new men appointed are: J. A. Ferguson, Professor of For- Rye From Rye. The differences of opinion that may ‘arise on the subject of pure food are illustrated by the statement of Doctor | Wiley that one of his censors in the ‘Department of Agriculture agreed |with him only once in 1,500 cases. ‘Evidently, the-gentleman referred to lis not a believer in pure food legisla- SOUTHWEST BAPTIST COL-| LEGE WILL APPEAL TO | BATES COUNTY BAP- TISTS FOR CO-OP- ERATION To Enlist and Serve all Southwest Missouri.

So it is essential to put it in a convenient place. A row of it along the fence in the garden will probably be cor venient, if the place is not already occupied by rhubarb. It js very nec- essary that the soil for asparagus be exceedingly rich, but in a small plant- ing this cap be made artificially. Having selected the place, the prob- lem is to put the soil in the best pos- sible condition, both of fertility and physical structure, Potatoes or some other cultivated crop is good to pre- cede asparagus, as the ground will be well loosened up by it.
