One of the points of vital contact between the United States Depart ment of Agriculture and the State ag ricultural colleges and experiment stations-the chief means, perhaps by which experiment station work extension work, and tie like arc coordinated and kept fairly uniforn throughout the -country-is the Asso ciation of America Agricultural Col leges and Experiment Stations, which will hold its thirty-third annual con vention in Chicago November 12 tc 14. At the same time a number oi subsidiary and related organizationm wit hold their annual meetings. Among them are the Country Life Confer ence, American Association of Far mers' Institute Workers, the Confer ence of Farm Management Demonstr tors, and of the State leaders of coun ty agents for the North and West the Association for the Advancement of Agricultural Teaching, the Society for the Promotion of Agricultura Science, the Society of Agronomy and the Farm Management Associa. tion. Some of these organizations have been fostered by the Department o1 Agriculture and the agricultural col leges. Others are independent organ izations with related interests. Ir practically all of them, oflicials of the Department of Agriculture are inter ested. A :.umber of department met will be in attendance, and, through th< various meetings, will feel the wil and the wishes of the people at the same time that they pass their owr thoughts along to workers in variou: lines throughout the country.

Rabbit pelts, which Lid are extensively used by hat makers, )r. are among these products. One east le ern concern has announced that it ot. will need 10,000,000 rabbit skins dur I ink 1919 and 1920, and it desires as ng far as possible to secure them from is American sources. This is an indica p' tion of a market which should inter to est many a farmer boy. This fall and to winter dried, cased rabbit skins will probably bring a reasonably good re be. turn. They are sold by the pound which will contain seven or eight lul skins. Many farm boys can readily ig acquire, in the course of the winter, e. large numbers of skins which will net no them a tidy sum and, in addition, they en will have the pleasure of 'trapping experience.
