BRANCH AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
BY MISS BROWN AND THE PRINCIPAL.

The clinics in Veterinary
Science that are held monthly
on the campus at the B. A. C.
are of great practical value to
the farmers and stock raisers of
Southern Utah. At each of the
clinics that have been held, from
100 to 200 men and boys have
been in attendance, and as many
as % cases have been handled in
one day.
During the last week of Feb
ruary and the first week Of
March a Farmers Roundup will
be held at the B. A. c. for all
farmers and house keepers in
Southern Utah. This Roundup
will be conducted by the parent
Institution. the State Agricul-
tural College of Utah, and will
undoubtedly prove of great ma
terial benefit to those who avail
themselves of the opportunity by
being in attendance.
The material improvements
already made at the B. A. G..
have been many. AS has al
ready been stated the shops have
been greatly enlarged and much
new equipment has been added.
Then the heating plant has been
entirely overhauled and re-
modleed.s so that the school build
ings are now comfortably heated
and ventilated.
Plans are under way for ex-
tensive improvements to be
made on the campus. Within
the next week work is to be
commenced on a new So,
barn, in which the cattle belong
ing to the College will be kept
AS soon as the spring opens {
dairy will be established at tn,
, College, and free demonstration
1 and lectures in the science o
dariying will be given.
With the opening of spring
f developmental work will ais
e begin on the large experimer
farm. which adjoins tn
o campus. In addition to this tn
c College owns a dry farm Q
o eighty acres out by the stat
J. well. Quite recently, throug
the untiring efforts of Pres
o Widtsoe of the A. c. u. prom
h Uses of assistance were secure
. from the County Commissioner
d of Iron county, the State Expel
iment Station. the Utah Stat
s Conservation. Commissioner
!. and the directors of the Sa
: Lake Route. to the effect tbs
N they will give the B. A. G. yer
~ material assistance in maxim
N the dry farm a model one.
n 1t will readily be seen that til
y large increase in attendance
al this school and the many mate
N ial improvements that are bein
70 made, destine the B. A. G.
If become a large institution
learning, for everything is ten'
m ing towards it's rapid and su
g. stantial growth.
or Now although an industri
m school may have large expei
or ment farms. many spacio'
he buildings, and well equipp'
or shops and laboratories. yet If
IS has only these and not a larg
,e. wide awake enthusiastic body
;er students. it in no way deserv
he to be called an institution
lie learning, for the students thel
of selves form the heart, the iii
rs. the soul of any plan or syste
lid of education. The well train
ire students are also the create
ew resource of wealth and progrt
ed that the state has. Now the
of A. C. is fortunate in having
rty large student body of Gag
zen earnest determined young m
he and women who are doing
nts excellent grade of work. The
,od is not another high school in
ng state of Utah where the studel
.dy do work of the same high era
al that they do at the B. A.
the This condition undoubte'
tho arises from the fact that
