be held here in Washington? Is 1t
because the Board of Regents will not,
or is unable to, pay them what they
are worth and what other colleges and
the Department of Agriculture at
Washington, d. c., will pay? What
ever the reason, it is certain If our
State Agricultural College is to main
tain it's prestige among the great farm
schools of the country, and If the farm
interests of our great state are to be
benefited by it's existence, to the ex-
tent they have right to expect and
demand, that conditions which cause
us to lose great educators of the type
of Professors Elliott and Spillman and
others must be changed. We have
nothing but good will toward Idaho,
but with all our desire to see a strong
Agricultural College built up there,
and one that shall be equal to our
own, we do not wish to see Idaho's sue
cess achieved at the expense of wash
ington. And that will be the newt
able result if Washington is to con-
tinue to lose it's Elliotts and its Spill
mans.
The farmers of this state will long
hold in their hearts warm spot for
these two great educators, and we hope
we may be as fortunate in securing a
successor to Professor Elliott as we
were in securing successor to Profess
sor Spillman. And, Brother Elliott, in
.ehalf of the farmers of the great
state you have served so well, l wish
you every success in your new field OF
labor and want you always to remem-
Der that you will always find a well
come from the farmers of Washington
and especially from our organization
throughout the state. May you visit
us often and aid us in all ways you
can, for the presence and assistance
of such men as yourself are an inspira-
ton.
