Prof. 0. B. Whipple Resigns 



The announcement has just been 

 made that Professor O. B. Whipple, 

 for ten years horticulturist at the State 

 College of Montana, has resigned to 

 take up work in a new field. Profes- 

 sor Whipple was one of the best- 

 known men in his profession in the 

 Northwest. He graduated from the 

 Kansas Agricultural College in 1904; 

 was a graduate student of Massa- 

 chusetts Agricultural College, 1904-5; 

 was instructor in horticulture at Colo- 

 rado Agriculural College, 1905-6; and 

 field horticulturist for the Colorado 

 Experiment Station, 1906 to 1909; and 

 since July 1909 has been horticulturist 

 at the Montana State College. 



While field horticulturist in Colo- 

 rado, Professor Whipple was the joint 

 author with Professor Paddock of the 

 book entitled, "Fruit Growing in Arid 

 Regions," and since then has favored 

 the public with several valuable bulle- 

 tins and other publications on fruit 

 and vegetable work in Montana. Dur- 

 ing recent years he has specialized on

potatoes. His recent publications on 

 potato breeding, selection and culture, 

 which are the results of the work car- 

 ried on at Bozeman, contain many new 

 and interesting, as well as valuable 

 ideas. 



It is with regret that we announce 

 the decision of Professor Whipple to 

 leave Montana. During his stay of 

 over ten years he has gained the confi- 

 dence and respect of the fruit growers 

 in Montana, as well as the neighboring 

 states, and through his untiring efforts 

 has done much to further the inchistry. 



Professor Whipple is leaving Mon- 

 tana to assume the management of a 

 five-hundred acre general farming 

 proposition under irrigation near 

 Grand Junction, Colorado, and will 

 take up his new duties the first of the 

 year.
