REPORT OF VISITOR TO THE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE. 



It gives me great pleasure to report to you that the demands 

 A young manhood for instruction at the College of Agriculture 

 are constantly increasing. This means growth to the farmers' 

 interests in this state and other states which call the graduates 

 to their assistance. 



There are two needs at the college that are imperative, in 

 order to turn out students as thoroughly equipped as we would 

 wish.
