The above appeared in a recent bulletin sent out by the Station 
and has met with very general favor both in this and other

to letters addressed to them by an enterprising agricultural 
editor, both the candidates for Governor in our late election 
declared their approval of the plan proposed and their willingness 
to favor it. 
Many inquiries and suggestions have been received from various 
sections of the State, which give evidence of an intelligent 
appreciation of the practical and scientific value of such branch 
Stations, and an earnest desire to secure the advantages which the 
location of one in their section of the State would bring them.
