90FARM1RS PRESENT
The Farmers School is a Magnificent
Success.
Ninety Farmers. from Seven Dill rent
Counties, Present.

Pullman is proud OF the success OF tie
"winter school for farmers" 1t is not
only successful beyond all expectation,
but almost beyond precedent in other
states. The interest OF the farmers is
deep and continuous, and the attendance
grows apace. The average attendance
has been over seventy-live, and the en-
rollment has reached ninety; while the
majority are, of course, from this county,
yet seven counties OF this state are rep
resented. 1t is probable that next week
will see the enrolment far beyond the
hundred mark, and perhaps ten counties
represented. Letters OF greeting from
farmers in the far distant counties have
been received, saying that only the ex-
pense and the hard times prevented
their being present. The farmers are all
enthusiastic over the work that is being
done and believe hat It will result iu
very great practical benefit. Ne week
veterinarian, DR.. S. i. Wilson, OF Spo-
kane, Will give a series OF lectures on the
diseases OF the domestic animals. The
coll lege is doing grand work, not only
in the education OF our young people, but
| in the advancement of the agricultural
! interests OF the state. The legislature
should rally to its support, AMI give it
the support it needs. Our representa-
tives can do no greater or more useful
work nor one that commands any hear
tier recognition OF the farmers than by
working night and day for the interests
OF the college.
