farmers of the South, through. Dr.
Bfan. something of intensive faming
methods in Denmark.
Denmark, naturally one of the
tin Sliest and poorest countries in _
Europe, through Intensive farming. ~
laa Become In a few years one of '
he most prosperous and wealthiest, <
per capita. In the world. It was to J
Jescribe to Southern farmers the
marvelous story of achievement of
Bnaucial independence, even wealth,
sf the Danish farmers, that Dr. Egsn
made his Southern tour.
' The Southern Commercial Congress
suggested to the 8tate Depart- J
ment that Dr. Egan's knowledge
of the-success the Danes had achieved
In Intensive farming wouM be
of Immense advantage to Southern
farmers The State Department ~
gave Dr. Egan a furlough, and sent
him on the Southern trip. Starting e
from the great Naphviile convention e
of the Congress, on April 10, he vis- a
lted,8helbyville, Ky., St. Louie. Dai- e

win detail him on a similar mission, t
under auspices of the Southern Com- <
jaerclal Congreae, to visit, all the 1

have an important effect on agricultural
legislation. Since his return
to Washington Dr. Kgan has received
a grpat number of letters from
farmers and public men along the ?

j the privilege of hearing the lectures. ?
"Denmark." said Dr. Egan today. 1

WILHELRIINA

Netherlands Queen and Son!
sort Guest of the French
Capital Tomorrow.
\
Paris, May 31:? Queen Wllhelinina
of the Netherlands, accompanied
by the Prince Consort, will arrive in
Paris tomorrow for a three days' .official
visit. Elaborate preparations
have been completed for ^he recep- ,
tlon and entertainment of the royal
visitors. The coming of the Dutch
queen has aroused extraordinary interest
among ^he Parisians, wlflch is
scarcely to be wondered at in view
of the fact that Wllhelmlna will be
the first queen in her own right to
be received in Paris since Queen Vlc?
torla's last official visit here nearly
half a century ago.
The city Is already donni^* gala
attire in anticipation of the Queen's
arrival. The Place de L'Opera and
the boulevards have been lined 'by
hugo colums bearing the arms pf the
| Netherlands and the City of Paris.
In devising the scheme of recora_
tlon the municipal authorities concluded
that, while mere flags and
bunting might oe gootP enough for a
king, a more delicate tribute should
be paid to a queen. Consequently it
? was deeided that the street decora
tions should consist as much as posk
slble of flowers, as being more sultJ
able to a woman sov^re'gn. Especially
In the Avenue du Bols deBoulogne
and the Champe Elysee, through
i- which the royal visitors are to be escdrted
on their arrival in the city,
the streot decorations are strikingly
-- bsantlfel.-^Ib .red. .white and blue
flowers symbolizing the cSort of
the Netherlands.
The royal couple will be quarter!r
ed In the D'OrBay Palace. The enter's
tainmeat programme includes a gala
n performance at the opera, visits to
e St. Cyr and Versailles, a state band
quet and a floral festival in the Dols
de Boulogne. The young queen has J
^ especially ir.siated on a military re-;
view and battle maneuvers, and j
- these will take place at Satory camp..
ln near Versailles, where a sort of con- (
;r ning tower has been specially built,:
^ whence her majesty will Ije able to j
