The most successful Farmers' Week 

 meeting in the history of Missouri was held 

 in Columbia January 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17, 

 1913. The enrollment, exclusive of citizens 

 of Columbia, reached 1,583, or more than 

 200 over that of 1912, when local people in 

 attendance at the meeting were also regis- 

 tered. It is safe to say that with citizens of 

 Columbia and students of the College of Ag- 

 riculture, not less than 2,500 persons at- 

 tended the meeting. 



The four days' short course put on by 

 the College of Agriculture, which institu- 

 tion joins heartily with the Board of Agri- 

 culture in making the week a profitable one 

 for all visitors, was the strongest and most

 Farmers' Week is really an association of

 becomes one of constantly increasing im- 

 portance and interest. The old associations
