SUCCESS OF GRADUATES
AND STUDENTS.

More than 100 students have
graduated with degrees and ITO
have been given certificates from
the variohs high school courses
II space permitted, it would be
interesting to print a complete list
OF Agricultural College gradu-
ates, giving their present occupa-
tions and salaries. A few repre-
sentative alumni selected at ran
dom will suffice to show how uni
versally successful A. G. graduates
have been. The following named
persons have received practically
no training other than that given
by their alma mater, They are re-
ceiving salaries ranging from
5000 to $24O0.

NEEDS OF THE STATE.

Does the State of Utah need
broadly educated and scientific
farmersi Then the Agricultural
College is a necessity. =
Does the State have need Of
young women who know how to
make a home along the most ap-
proved scientific lines-girls who
know how TO cook, and what to
cook, girls who know how to sew,
girls who know how to be practi-
cal in their home life9 Then in
deed has the State need of the
Agricultural College.
Does the State need competent
craftsmen in carpentry, at the
forge, in factory and machine
The Mercur miner. [volume] (Mercur, Utah) 1895-1913, 1906-08-29

shopl Has Utah need of first
class mechanics, surveyors, and
irrigation engineers7 Then most
certainly is the Agricultural Col
lege fulfilling the design of its
founders and meeting the situa-
ton most creditably.
DO we need men of business
training, men who know how to
keep systematic hold of their own
affairs, and men who can systema-
tie business for others as wellH
Then is the Agricultural College
meeting the need.
If the State needs men and wo-
men with scientific knowledge
along the special lines offered by
the Agricultural College, men and
women who also possess the
broadened mind that comes with
comprehensive knowledge of
language and literature, inciden-
tai instruction offered in the vari-
Gus courses, then the Agricultural
College is meeting the need as no
other institution can--providing
the work is given effectively.

COST PER STUDENT.

According to the report Of the
u. S. Commissioner of Education.
the average cost per student for
the colleges and universities
throughout the country is $4,000.
I'm this connection the following
statistics taken from the report Of
the Secretary Of the Board Of
Trustees Of the Agricultural Col
lege of Utah will be of interest;

EFFECTIVENESS OF WORK

The effectiveness of any school
is best told in the success of its
students and graduates, its recog-
nized standing among other
schools, in the decision Of cOmpe-
tent judges where work done has
come into competition with that
OF other schools, in the scholarly
attainment of its faculty, and in
the general spirit of the student
body. The high position in edu-
cational. business, governmental
and industrial life now held by
graduates and students of the in
stitution speak volumes for its
effectiveness. A list of graduates
with positions held will compare
more than favorably with list
from any WESTERN institution.

At the st. Louis Exposition, the
exhibit of the Agricultural Col
lege secured the GRAND PRIZE
over all competitive schools, these
numbering more than 40. The
collaboration of work in Mechanic
Arts was awarded a gold medal,
the highest.

by side in the prosecution OF this
work were plowed various depths.
The results show a difference of
II and IL bushels TO the acre be-
tween very shallow and the eight
and nine inch blowing, and. be-
tween the latter and the deep SUBJ
soiled plats there is a difference in
favor of the SUBSIDIZED of from
two to five bushels. 1t would be
well for the farmer to note such
facts as these.
Experiments on wheat ground
in Tooele County in 1905 with a
view of demonstrating the value
Of spring narrowing showed a
yield OF from five to six bushels
more to the acre on plats that had
been spring narrowed only over
those that had been narrowed and
rolled. The results from other
farms corroborated these results
At this rate, the roller costs the
farmer practically 1915 for every
acre rolled.

dictate that "Brome Grass
stands second only to alfalfa in
nutritive value and drouth resis-
tant. 1t gives promise of convert.
ing into green pastures, areas
heretofore regarded as absolutely
valueless. All it needs is a little
intelligent handling to give it 9
good start and after that it re.
quires no attention.
The value to Utah each year Of
the experiments ON alfalfa alone
at the College exceeds the entire
state appropriations for the sup
port Of the institution.

SCOPE OF WORK.

If then, the institution has the
physical and moral environment
desirable, and the buildings and
equipment necessary for the most
effective work, what other phases
are there that enter into a con-
sideration of the value or need of
The SCHOOL, The courses offered
and the educational worth of the
instruction, of course.
The bill providing for the land
grant institutions sets forth that
the colleges are instituted "for
the purpose of promoting the lib
eral and practical education OF
the industrial classes in the sew
eral pursuits and professions of
life" especial emphasis being
placed ON the necessity Of instruc.
ton in agriculture and mechanic
arts and related subjects. Under
the direction of the Board OF
Trustees, and in thorough accord
with the evident intent of the bill
which created it, the Agricultural
College offers instructive work
logically divided into six schools
Agriculture, Domestic Science
and Arts, Engineering and Me.
chenic Arts, Commerce, General
Science, and Music.
All the work throughout the
College is arranged in strict ac
cordance with both the national
and State laws under which the
institution is working, and is in
line with the spirit and policy OF
the best agricultural colleges OF
the country.

With but two or three excep-
tions every one of the seventy odd
creameries in the State Of Utah

The product Of the poultry in
dustry of Kansas for 1905 was
greater than the mineral output
Of Colorado in the same year.
Poultry raising required little
capital and is work suited to wo-
men and children. Let a daugh-
ter take a winter course in poultry
raising at the Agricultural Col
lege and get start in a healthful
paying occupation.
During this time of agitation
over pure foods such appetizing
and wholesome fruit preparations
as are taught at the Agricultural
College would find ready sale at
good prices.

den of the summer sewing has

splendid crops having been gath
cred this year. The parade
grounds and certain cottages for
College employees complete the
College plant, which altogether
embraces l16 acres.
Consider tive fact that each and
every building has the most up
to-date equipment, and the insti-
tuition in all its extent is before
you. Does it not impress you that
this is an institution worthy the
pride of any people, of any state :

FACULTY.

The faculty of the College and
members of the Experiment Sta
ton Staff number about sixty,
including professors, instructors,
and assistants. They have re-
ceived their training in the best
colleges and universities of
America and Europe, and are pre-
eminently qualified for the work
of their respective departments.

Board and lodging in Logan
may be obtained by students at
from $3.50 to $3.50, an extraordi-
narily low rate compared with
that of the city and most college
towns.
The Mercur miner. [volume] (Mercur, Utah) 1895-1913, 1906-08-29
STANDARD OF COLLEGE.

The high standing Of the Col
lege among other schools is at
tested in the fact that the work
required for certificates aud de-
grees exceeds that rquired by
many other schools Of recognized
standard, and in the fact that full
credit for work done here is given
by the great eastern and western
universities, such as Harvard,
Cornell, Chicago, Stanford.
