 ary 12 to 16, 1914, was 2,240. In 

 1913, the best year up to that time, 

 the enrollment reached 1,587. 



Since the establishment of 

 Farmers' Week by the State Board 

 of Agriculture, a number of years 

 ago, each year has witnessed an 

 increased attendance. A few years 

 ago the College of Agriculture also 

 inaugurated a special four-day short 

 course in agriculture, which has be- 

 come one of the valuable features of 

 Farmers' Week. From 3 to 5 o'clock 

 each afternoon association meetings 

 are held. The associations repre- 

 sented were: The Missouri Saddle 

 Horse Breeders' Association, Mis- 

 souri Cattle, Swine and Sheep Feed-
