THE AGROSTOLOGIST.
"PROFESSON OF GRASSES”.
· PIPER'S WORK.
Professor of grassen Charles Piper, as his title of agrostologist means, who recently passed through here on his way to the Philippine Islands to study the forage crop, has had a long and brilliant career in the United Statos departanont of agriculture. His special mission to the Philippines is to assist the foderal authorities in solving the problem of forage for the cavalry. At the present time timothy and similar grasses must be shipped to the islands from the United States, and the cost of this forage, luid down at army posts, amounts to. about $75 per ton. Prof, Piper will determine the practicability of raising sucli crops in the island torritories.
Prof. Piper is probably the highest recognized authority on his particular specialty in the land, from which he received his country. Born on Vancouver is
