The president of Leander Clark COL

back as president more than a score

Of bringing again under careful and sci

local pertinence. Among some of the
more interesting points he made were
these:
If this same S010O0 acres of land

uncultivated condition were properly
cultivated it would under ordinary con-
ditions of cultivation, support our pres
ent population of about 1000. GOO people
