fits of an Act of Congress approved

sixty-two, and of acts supplementary
thereto, and the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. is now before
the Senate and will doubtless be enact
ed into law before many days. Scna-
tor Brady Is a very ardent supporter
Of this bill, and as member of the
committee on Agriculture and Forestry
to which the bill was referred, used
his influence to have the House Bill
substituted for the reason that it
gives a larger appropriation for the
states for agricultural purposes.
In speaking of the matter, Senator
Brady said, This is one Of the
best bills Congress can pass. Our
state is already doing largo amount
Of work along cooperative lines in 60
ordination with the National Govern
ment and this bill will enable US to
have an instructor in every county in
the state. This will be especially benc
fetal to Idaho, for the reason that
there is such great difference in
climatic conditions, in altitude, and
the amount of rain fall, that it is al
most necessary to have an expert
ment station, or at least special in
vestigations and instructions in every
county in the state. We have ~legis-
lated for the benefit of almost every
body else, and now it is good to know
that we are going to do something
for the farmer. l have worked hard
and earnestly for the passage of this
bill, and l believe it will be great
benefit to the farmers Of our state
