Mr. Barrett, I wish to offer the following resolutions on the 
Experimental Farm School. 
Resolved, That the oft repeated question, ‘‘Who shal] take our places 
after we are gone?” is answered by our Agricultural School that is so well 
fitting our boys to further advance the interests of horticulture and 
transform our yet unsubdued Minnesota into a sylvan and fruit Eden; 
and we do unreservedly commend it as worthy in every sense of liberal 
support by the state and the people.
