visit Of the gentlemen is to ascertain
the real status and the best method

or improve by going in on the ditch
extension scheme. Formerly the
lands could only be leased for a per-

laws leases can be made for thirty
years. While the land belongs to the
college the real disposition is under
the state land board, but Of late
years the land board has been de-
ferring largely to the wishes Of the
college and 1t is for this reason Mr..
Currey is accompanying the college
trustees.

with the gentlemen last evening and

cultural college and its future bear
ing for good upon the people OF the
state. especially the agricultural por

cannot improve it's land holdings by
joining private individuals In ditch

not say as to what can or will b.
