Missuuri Ayriciilliiral Repoii. 



I attended tlie corn show and contest at Carthage, and have to report a 

 most remarkable meeting. Tlie corn expert of your Board and Miss 

 Bailey of the Home Economics Department were present, and a four 

 days' institute was held, each of us speaking twice and sometimes three 

 times a day on our several subjects. There were present at each meeting 

 from two to five hundred people, including the school children of the 

 county, and great interest w^as manifested, the local papers giving the 

 meetings wide publicity. I also inspected several herds of cows. Dairy- 

 ing in this vicinity is very much on the increase. The member of this 

 Board for this district rendered very active assistance to make this 

 meeting a success. 



Beginning November 28, to December 2, as Dairy Commissioner, I 

 attended the meeting of the State and National Food and Dairy De- 

 partments at New Orleans. Missouri was honored with a place on the 

 Executive Committee of this Association. 



Respectfully, 

 "W. P. Cutler, 



Dairy Commissioner.
