The legislatures will do whatever you earnestly ask, within 

 reason, so far as there are sufficient funds for it. 



The staff of this college is engaged with great activity in 

 unselfish work for the people of the state. It is because they 

 are alive that the work is growing. They all desire to devote 

 themselves to this work so long as they are connected with 

 the institution. It is our duty, as servants of the State, to say 

 what things are needed to make the institution what it should 

 be, as we see the field. We should not withhold the knowledge 

 of anything that is needed. The support of the College has 

 been liberal. We shall always work whole-heartedly with 

 what we have. We are interested m the institution only as it 

 is an organ for serving the state. Having stated the outlines 

 of the most serviceable type of college of agriculture, the 

 problem of how far it shall be developed must rest with the 

 people themselves. 



The commercial and social isolation of the farm is passing. 

 The country town is no longer the market and the center of 

 interest. The farmer is rapidly becoming a citizen of the 

 world. All his problems must have a larger treatment than 

 they have ever had before.
