Prizes for the University Of
Maine Students

At Thursday mornings session Of the
Maine State Dairymens Association In
Pittsheld, an hour was given over t. the
good work being done at The University
OF Maine, and the following prizes were
offered by the association and bers:
Mr. Alden said that all were proud #
the State college aud be would call Oh
Prof. w -. t!urd 10 speak
Prof fIufd said that there were many
boys who deslfed 10 attend the agricul-
tural course at Orono, bur whose hnan-
clal means would not permit. Other
states had aided this ctass Of young
men and he thought this society could
do no better than to make move IN
this direction. This society was an ed
vocational institution and be appealed TO
the members to extend their aid He
would suggest that this society offer d
prize to the student who would read the
best essay on dairying at the annual
meeting. 1t would be great stimulus
Mr., Alden moved that the society Of
fer three prizes, one of Sl5 one OF $40
and the other of S. for this purpose aud
that the society offieere be the judges.
Editor Thorpe of the Maine Farmer
heartily endorsed the idea and made an
eloquent plea to that effect Commits
siOner Gilman followed in a similar
STRAIN and this seemed 10 5e ia harmony
with the sentiments of the members.
MIR Gilman thought this might not be
! legal but the commissioner said he
would take the responsibility. MI.
Thorpe thought that a little aggressive
work would easily make this up by in
creasing the mem bership. Il was ~
voted
MI. l.. {. Bateman then moved pIiz
of Ten dollars TO the student who would
offer and read the best essay on stable
sanitation aid be would pay the money
/ from his pwn pocket.
This offer was contagious. Prof
Cook from New York offered IS for a
second prize. Then Mr. AIKEN of Yer.
mont offered another IS Then the old
veteran, 4 A Gilbert, came slowly t.
his feet and offered prize OF 1926 for an
essay to be named hereafter.
Commissioner A. w. Gilman could
hold in no longer and up be popped and
went one better by Offering another
prize of $35. This caused President
Adams to make the statement that he
had two fine boys that he would send to
the agricultural course at Orono next
year to win those prizes.
BY this time the college boys who
were present to the number OF twenty OF
more, wes fred to such high pitch OF
enthusiasm that they arose and gave the
college yell with an explosion thai
made the citizens down town think thai
all earthquake WAS on the program. II
was a hilarious scene and only another
straw showing how this society anc
dairying generally are growing in Maine
