ment of Eural Education, and urge the expansion of this department 

 until through it every rural school in the State may be reached through 

 this agency. 



The College of Agriculture has won during the season of 1909, 

 seventy-seven prizes for live stock exhibits. We call attention to the 

 fact that the College entered these contests largely upon the recommen- 

 dation of the Board of Agriculture, and we, therefore, feel a special 

 pride in these achievements. 



The rapid increase in enrollment in the College of Agriculture 

 has brought about a crowded condition of the buildings and labora- 

 tories Avhieh makes it necessary to provide larger, accommodations for 

 some departments. The College needs particularly a more ample judg- 

 ing pavilion, a modern dairy barn and a horse barn. The College now 

 has no available barn suitable for horses. 



The number of lines of investigation now under way in the Experi- 

 ment Station makes it necessary for this department of the College to 

 receive increased appropriations, or some of these important experiments 

 must be dropped. Especially is more money needed for the outlying ex- 

 periments, the dairy husbandry investigation, live stock investigations, 

 and the experiments in farm crops and soil management. 



Having become satisfied with the results of Home Economics in the 

 College of Agriculture, your committee have agreed to recommend that 

 the facilities be enlarged for the girls of Missouri, and that they be put 

 on a par with the boys of Missouri, and that as soon as possible, addi- 

 tional room and instructors be provided.
