The Montana
State Fair.

An announcement of interest to
every section of the state is that of
the Board of Directors of the Mon.
tana State Fair to the effect that
the purses and premiums to be off
cred at the big exposition this
year will amount to Sal, 3O1 80, an
increase of more than $1,000 over
the premiums for 1911, and in
sure bigger and better exhibit
in every line than has ever before
been made. In addition to this
increase in purses for the encour-
agement Of exhibitors, several
thousand dollars have been spent
in improving the Fair grounds for
the accommodation of larger
crowds and for the housing of
more exhibits.
One Of the features being III
stalled this year is a fire station,
at which will be quartered de
tachment of Helena firemen, a
team and hose wagon for the pro.
lection Of the fair buildings and
exhibits during fair week.
New bleachers with seating
capacity OF l 500 are being con-
structed at cost Of $2,3 300, which
will bring the total seating capac-
ity Ct the fair grand stands and
bleachers to a figure which is not
exceeded on any other grounds in
the northwest. An addition to
the swine barn or ''hog pens"
another to the poultry house and
the construction of model dairy
barn and other features in connec-
ton with the livestock depart
ments of the Fair. The dairy
barn is being bull, at cost of
81, 200 and will be particularly in
teresting to those Montanians
who are interested in the manage
ment of dairies on either a large
or small scale, and who take an
interest in the maintenance of a
pure milk supply.
Five hundred dollars have been
expended this summer in the con-
struction Of roads and paths about
the grounds.

Agricultural
Education.

The Twenty-first Annual Re-
port of the Association of Americ-
an Agricultural Colleges and Ex-
pertinent Stations has just appear
ed. This shows that there are
forty nine institutions of college
grade, teachil agriculture in the
United States. One Of these in
stltutions is located in each state
and territory or the main land,
and one on tho Hawaiian Islands
at Honolulu. When we rcmem-
Der that the first agricultural col
lege was started fifty three years
ago, in the state Of Michigan, the
reason for the development of this
number, and for the important
place now held by these institu-
tons, is of interest.
In 1862, Abraham Lincoln sign
ed the Morrill, Act. By means of
this, Congress provided for The
setting aside Of certain lands in
each state and territory, the in
come of which was to be used for
instruction in agriculture, mechan-
ic arts and allied subjects. Think
ing men had come to recognize
that higher education, as provided
by the universities, was not design.
ed for the direct hel p of the great
producing classes. The provisions
OF the first Morrill, Act we're fram-
ed with the idea Of meeting this
apparent need. In 1890, the Sec
ond Morrill, Act was passed. pro-
vldlng for annual appropriations
out of the Treasury Of the United
States, for the support of these
colleges. Later, in 1906, tan Mel
son Bill made further provisions
for support along certain lines.
10 receive this Federal support it
is necessary for the states to make
certain provisions on the start,
and to continue this support as
long AS the United States Treasury
contributes. The state must pro-
vide buildings and look to their
care. Only certain lines of in
struction are permitted under the
Federal Acts, and SO other necess-
ary lines must be provided by the
states. In practice, those provis-
ions have proven wise, as they
have insured the interests of the
states and made real state institu-
tions.
In the beginning, the agricultur-
al colleges offered courses of strict
ly college grade. This confined
the work to young men chiefly,
and to those Of the young men
who had finished a high school
course. This preliminary train
ing was necessary to enter the
college. Noting the existing de-
mand for training such as the col
lege gives, by the men on the
farms who could not avail them
selves of the full college course,
colleges provided shorter and

more elementary courses. Wis
consin was amongst the first to Off
er this "School of Agriculture"
work. At present, such courses
are offered by many of the institu-
tions. For years ago the Mon
tana State College listed such a
course, and /. large attendance has
proven it's popularity. Continu-
ing from October to March, the
men on the farms can take advant-
age of it, as these are the slack
months.
The college courses for the high
school graduates; the school Of
Agriculture during the winter
months, which does not require a
high school training for entrance,
along with the Extension division
Of the college, which takes infor-
nation to the farmers in their
aome community, thru the Farm
ers' Institute and other meetings,
explain the rapid growth and the
important place now held by the
agricultural colleges.
