The Experiment Station.

" ord comes from the Manhat-
tan that the Regents Of the State
Agricultural college by a vote OF
to 3 have decided to cUrtail the
work at the Experiment Station
on the Ft. Hays Reservation and
hereafter only use 100 acres OF the

farm tracts of 10, 20 or so acre
patches to show what will succeed

mers need, and those who have
heard of the proposed change are

periments a section of land and the

school to rent out for the upbmld,
ing of The school.
Those who had Homesteads on
the Experiment station grounds
are awaiting developements; they
released their homesteads because
the Experiment station needed
the lands for their farm expert
ments, but when it is seen that
they 10 longer need it then these
men will ask that their homestead
| lrights be restored and given back
their land, and have already en-
gagged their Washington attorney
to prepare the necessary papers
for the appeal, the Secretary's de-
cIsIon having been conditional has
ed on representations. And the
people of Hays would rather see it
HOmesteaded and farmed than US
ed as a cattle rancho.
