AMES GRADUATES
BACK TO FARM.
THIRTY-TWo BOYS OF ANIMAL
HUSBANDRY DEPARTMENT
REFUSE GOOD JOBS.

Ames, May 30.-Out of thfrty-eight
men who will graduate from the ami
NAL husbandry course at the agricul-
tural college this spring, only two are
to accept salaried positions. The 9TH
er thirty-six are going back to the
farm to engage in actual agriculture.
Many of these men will go to work on
their fathers farms. Others will rent
farms, or take up farm management
positions on share basis.
The animal husbandry department
has been besieged with letters asking
for men to take up salaried positions.
The salaries offered range from $1,000
to $4,000. Even such salaries as these
are not enough to take the men from
the farm, however, and the depart
ment has had to turn away dozens OF
offers because it did not have the men.
This state of affairs is especially graf
flying to Professor Kennedy, the head
of the animal husbandry department.
He believes that the first duty Of an
agricultural college is to train men for
the farm.
