Office: Room 113, first floor Academic Building WILLIAM BENNETT BIZZELL President of the College FRANK ©. MARTIN Secretary of Publicity AGRICULTURE IN COLLEGES (By E. T. Meredith, U. S. Secretary of Agriculture) The permanent success of Ameri- can agriculture and the prosperity and contentment of our farming people will depend, in considerable measure on the efficient development of our institutions for agricultural research and education. We have projected quite a comprehensive sys- tem and have made considerable pro- gress in developing it in all the states. The results have already been very important and far-reaching. Through scientific research and practical ex- perimentation and the wide dissem- ination and application of the re- sults, agricultural practices have been materially changed and improv- ed. But very much more remains to be done and the forces and equip- ment devoted to this work should be greatly increased and strengthened. Whatever money is provided for such purposes is in the nature of an investment from which, as past ex- perience shows, we may confidently expect large returns. At the head of this educational system in the several states stands the agricultural college, which may be successfully developed either as a separate institution or as one of the colleges of the state university. Un- der federal and state laws this col- lege may provide instruction in’ all branches of agriculture to resident students, carry on agricultural re- search through its experiment sta- tions at the college and in different parts of the state, and manage an extension system in agriculture and home economics which should be or- ganized in every agricultural county and aim to reach all the farms and farm homes of the state. The college should also have close relations with the secondary and ele- mentary schools in which agriculture is taught and largely train the teach- ers for these schools. Such an in- stitution obviously needs ample equipment of land, buildings, ap- paratus, library, etc., and an excen- tionally able and well-trained fac- ulty, who, because of their attain- ments and character, will be natur- rally regarded as among the fore- most leaders of agricultural progress in the state. A strong faculty is the most im- portant thing, but experience in this country has amply shown that only when good buildings and other suit- able equipment have been provided, will large numbers of students be at- tracted to the institution and its standing among the farmers and in the community generally will be such as an institution of this kind ought to have. The training of students in the ag- ricultural college should be both practical and scientific. In its long ENROLLMENT AT A. AND M. COLLEGE UP TO NOON YESTERDAY 1781 courses leading to degrees, should be trained many men who will devote their lives to farming, and already there is a goodly number of such men in various parts of our country, who can testify as to the practical results accomplished by the agricul- tural college.
