Never heard of him before, but he certainly can make words git up and dance."

Discussions bearing on this subâ€" ject have been scheduled for the whole of the first afternoon of the meeting and among the speakers will be H. & M. Case, head of the farm organiâ€" zation and management department of the college; M. L. Mosher, a memâ€" ber of that department; C. L. Stewart, in charge of farm economics work at the university, and L. J. Norton, a member: of the university economics department. femnret, ce * The four talks to be given by these speakers will deal in particular with the costs and prices of farm products.
