QUEENSLAND AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. 
On Friday, 1st April, at the invitation of the Hon. J. V. Chataway, Minister 
for Agriculture, a large party, numbering some ninety gentlemen, interested in 
farming pursuits was conveyed by special train to the Agricultural College, 
near Gatton. The feature of the day was the filling of the silo with chaffed 
Kaffir corn. Professor Shelton, in the course of his remarks at the luncheon, 
stated that the silo held 50 tons, and had been equal to the support of thirty- 
six dairy cattle and fourteen horses for three months. The visitors inspected 
the whole farm, and had the pleasure of seeing fifty-one students engaged in 
al kinds of work, from building houses and cementing floors to cutting corn 
and horsehoeing vegetable crops. The applications for admission to the 
College are so numerous that some twenty applications have had to be refused 
lately. ‘This is solely owing to want of sufficient dormitory accommodation, 
but the authorities intend to speedily make such arrangements as will admit of 
_a large inerease of pupils by the end of the year. All crops are looking well, 
but owing to the late heavy rains weeds made great headway as horses could 
not work on the soddened soil. ~
