J. L. Hills Talk

Burlington Oct. 2l.--Prof. J. l.. Hills
spoke yesterday before the mems broth
erhood of tie First church on agricul-
tural extension. Agricultural extension,
said the speaker, is only one phase of
the university extension movement, and
university extension is reaching out
of the university to get at more people.
There are at present just three states
where this policy has not been imposed
upon the state university by the initia-
tive of the state. These are Vermont,
Nevada and Wyoming.
Agriculture extension Is essentially a
putting of the agricultural college on
wheels and taking it to the people. The
up-to-datc agricultural college is three
sided in its work. One side represents ex
perimental research work; the second
stands for work with students IN at
tendance; the third side is filed In by
the extension work.
The Massachusetts Agriculture college
is spending over $4,000 every year in
this work, and other colleges everywhere
are taking 1t up. The value of ii lies In
the fact that it actually reaches the farm

picion and authorized the preparation
