Institution. receiving $4,000 annually
from the federal government, the time
has come when the state should fully
cooperate by providing an annual ap
preparation equal to that of the federal
government. The thousands of recent
settlers taking up claims in the west
ern portion of the state can only pros
per by intelligently adapting their la,
bors to their new conditions-condi
tons that can only be understood oft
times after expensive experimentation.
these new settlers are entitled to the
best aid and advice the experiment sta.
ton can give them. 1t becomes
question, therefore, not whether the
state can afford to make this appropri.
alton, but can it afford not to make it:
agriculture is our chiet-almcst e1.
clusive-source of wealth production
so that whatever fosters and improves
it returns to the state many fold what
