Convalescent soldiers in a hospital at Lakewood, N. J., through the help of the county agricultural agent of Ocean County, sold $750 worth of vegetables last summer from the hospital truck patcji. Soon after the organization of this hospital an educational director was appointed to carry on the work of rehabilitation with the patients. At the outset the county agent directed the efforts along the lines of agriculture, but as soon as men interested in this line of work were found they assumed direct charge, with the county agent acting as advisor in all matters brought to his attention. The hospital authorities obtained the loan of a tractor and plows from the manufacturers for the duration of the war and reconstruction period. Small plots of corn and potatoes were planted and cultivated by the soldiers. This winter illustrated lectures on various phases of farm work were given at the hospital for the benefit of returned soldiers interested in agriculture. Lists of farmers were made by the county agent and men were placed for three or four hours daily on these farms. The result was twofold the patients obtained actual experience in the lines they wished, such as poultry, truck or general farming, and farmers had the benefit of their labor.

WAGNER & CO.'S REVIEW CHICAGO, March 29 The senti nient in the grain market has undergone a decided change, influenced by increased movement, fine weather, ad-, ditional sales of Argentine corn slow, i cash demand and cast reselling in the market. Two cargoes of 200,000 bu. each of Argentine corn has been sold $1.35 C. I. F. April shipment. Argen- i tine cables on labor situation are pessimistic but the South Americans ' continue to sell corn here in face of, these facts. The Modern Miller rays the crop in safe over the southwest. While corn movement is slow the farmers have been selling of late. A little export business was done yesterday in rye on a basis of 74 track, Baltimore. CHICAGO GRAIN RANGE Furnished by E. W.

Four Year Term - Under the law the terms of the highway commissioners wili be for four years, one to retire each year. ' This arrangement requires that three of the original appointees be named for terms of less than the four-year period. The governor said he had not as yet determined which of the appointees will be named for the shorter original terms. After the members of the commission are called together he will confer with them, h4 said, and then decide which will retire at the end of the first, second and third years.

6,871 VISITED ART GALLERY LAST YEAR, IS ANNUAL REPORT The attendance at he Public Art Gallery during the last year was 6,871, about 25 per cent of the population of Richmond, according to the report given by Mrs. M. F. Johnston, director of exhibits, at the annual meeting of the Richmond Art association Friday evening in the art gallery. This is exceptionally good considering the difficulties under which the association worked during the war. In comparison with the great art galleries, this attendance is as much and even more in some cases. The attendance at the Metropolitan in New York dropped off 44,000 during the last year. The report showed that 26 lectures had been given by Francis' Browne and Mrs. M. F. Johnston during the year.
