The greatest Farmers' Week gathering in 

 the history of Missouri was held in the Agri- 

 cultural College building of the University of 

 Missouri at Columbia, January 10, 11, 12 and 

 13, 1911. Thirteen hundred Missouri farm- 

 ers, representing 97 of the 114 counties of the 

 State, were in attendance. The idea of a Mis- 

 souri Farmers' Week originated with the 

 State Board of Agriculture several years ago 

 and the annual coming together of farmers 

 representing the various branches of agricul- 

 ture in Missouri has been of great benefit. By 

 the several associations holding meetings at 

 the same time and place the members of any 

 one association not only get the good of the 

 one, but in addition the broadening influence 

 of all others. Last year two or three new 

 organizations were perfected, and this year 

 the following associations held initial meet- 

 ings : Missouri Women Farmers ' Club, Asso- 

 ciation of Missouri County Fairs, and Missouri 

 Cattle Feeders' Association. Of tlie old as- 

 sociations the following held no separate meet- 

 ings during the 1911 Missouri Farmers' Week :
