The matter which-received most at tention in the county agents' confer ence was the proposal to abandon the old one-day institute which has been such a prominent factor in the exten sion work of the past. Director Bald win had recently returned from Wash ington, D. C, where, in a conference with the administrators of the Smith- Lever fund money, he found that the one-day institute could not be accept ed as a project under the Smith-Lever raw. The reason for this is that this law lays praticular emphasis upon demonstration and it has felt that the one-day institute does not do great lasting good. The majority of the county agents were in favor of its abolishment and a committee recom mended that in so far as possible all farmers' meetings be conducted in con nection with demonstrations or to ar range for work which shall be done during the year. Two-day institutes, where some follow-up work may be done, and one-week schools, were rec ommended very highly. COUNTY AGENTS HOLD EN THUSIASTIC CONFERENCE. The county agricultural agents of the lower peninsula of Michigan held a very entnusiastic and fruitful con ference at the college last week Tues day and Wednesday. This conference merged into the marketing conference and was addressed by C. E. Bassett, market specialist of the U. S. Office of Markets, Dr. A. E. Cance of Mass. Agr'l College, Mr. Hatch of Ypsilanti, State Market Directors McBride and Ellsworth, and several county agents. Mr. Bassett pointed out that farmers can organize to sell their products without any fear of violating the Sher "This is made man anti-trust law. possible," said he, "by the Clayton amendment, passed by the last con gress. This provides that farmers' or ganizations which do not issue capital stock, are non-profit, and exist for the mutual benefit of their members, can not be said to exist in restraint of In fact there is no profit in a trade. true co-operative organization. Farm ers co-operate to eliminate waste and while this may bring greater returns it should not be considered as profit due to organization." Dr. Cance urged a federation of farmers' co-operative elevators throughout the state. "It would be valuable," said Dr. Cance, "merely because of its existence. In these things potential power is often the only thing that has to be exhibited in order to secure the desired results." A committee was appointed at the conference on markets to see what could be done to secure a better and wider distribution, in Michigan, of peaches. The Michigan committee regarding recommendations made grades which it is proposed to submit to the State Horticultural society for its approval, and then will be taken up by Michigan shippers.

It was resolved that the college guar antee as an offset to the Federal Smith Lever fund, $33,059.35 for the, ensuing fiscal year. A letter was read from Di rector Baldwin in which he reported the results of a conference recently held with the federal authorities in 5 regard to the extension projects for the coming year. All projects were agreed upon with the exception of the Farmers' Institute project. In regard to this matter the report read, "They wish to have this project drawn in a way which will indicate definitely that the work is done more in the nature of instruction which will reinforce the work of the county agents and spe cialists."

RECORD. < ' I R O N S I D E S" C A M P B E LL I N S T R U C TS IN ATH LETICS. J. Frank Campbell, '11, familiarly known during his college days as "Old Ironsides," has charge of the summer school athletics at M. A. C, in addition to teaching manual training. He has aroused no little interest in this work through his lectures on coaching, swimming lessons, and tennis tourna ments. One of the features of summer school athletics so far was the baseball game instructors on July 4th between the of the summer school and the stu dents. At the end of the fifth inning the score stood 5 to 5, the game being called at this stage for dinner. The feature of the game was the batting of 'Red" Dickson, '09, who played with the faculty. He secured a home run and a three bagger. E. C. Lindemann, '11, pitched for the faculty, and Stan ley Crow, of the mathematics depart ment, did the catching. The game will be finished some time this week. . NEWS AND COMMEN T Dean Shaw brought out some very striking points in the history of agri cultural education in his lecture before the summer school students last Wed nesday afternoon. He pointed out that the principles of scientific agriculture as now known do not differ greatly from those known 50 years ago; that agricultural prosperity in the past has been due to mining the soil, working overtime, and increase in land values, and not to the application of scientific principles. Hence he sees a great fu ture for scientific agriculture. And yet he cautioned against the introduc tion of regular courses of agriculture in the grades. "You'll get farther by teaching the little folks by the stori ette than by books," said Dean Shaw. "The trouble is the teachers of our little folks do not know enough of the simple truths of nature and how to teach them. Institutions such as this should lead the way in pointing out teach things and how them. We should be getting out bul letins especially for teachers of agriculture, one on each subject to be taught." The Dean also called atten tion to the fact that every article that appears in a farm paper had its origin in some agricultural college or experi ment station. He said that we need some critical work in agricultural pub lications, and called attention to a new venture, "The Agricultural Digest," which aims to do this very thing, that is, bring to light and criticise the work of the experiment stations and spread the information obtained therein. these the to 7 ALUMNI NOTES '77.
