The criticism of the college staff, and
their work is not in accordance with
the facts. Give them the same liberal
support that other states give theirs.
For instance, Wisconsin, Iowa, Min
nesota and Illinois, and ours, will rem
der an account of themselves such as
the state will be proud of. There
seems to be a misconception of the
scope of the education for which the
agricultural colleges were endowed. AS
an instance you say we believe that
the state college should be transformed
into a strictly agricultural college.
Again your correspondent, Mr.. G. T.
Castle, writes.
eve want it's whole object to be CEN
tered in the farming industry, and let

Investigation will show that subjects
pertaining to every industrial occu-
patton, including military drill, are
required to be taught by the act found
ing the agricultural colleges.
Our farmers institutes, and the
Washington State Dairyman's associ-
alton are important educational agen-
cies. What has the state ever done
to assist their work? Some Of the

THE WOOL THAT IS WANTED.

Professor R. w. Clark, Of the Mon
tana experiment station, went down
east last fall to study the wool ques-
ton with the manufacturers so as to
find what they wanted and what COM
plants, if any, they had to make about
western wool. He was told that the
difficulties with wool from our western
states were too much Irvine, dirt and
grease and a comparatively coarse and
inferior quality. They all agreed that
our wool made a great improvement
during the last ten fifteen years,
but they urged that much could be
still done. Professor Clark was shown
samples of all the different kinds Of
wool they buy and the various excel
lencies and defects from the factory
point of view. He brought back a large
collection of samples and illustrations.
They showed him samples of Austral-
ian wool, for which they were willing
to pay fifty-five to sixty cents a pound,
while our wool brings less than twenty
five cents. The Australian product is
longer, finer, softer and far cleaner than
our western product.
