AS shown in preceding paragraphs,
some of States leading graduates are
agriculturists in the Federal service,
as professors in state colleges, as
county agents, as agricultural teach
ers in high schools and normal schools
and as practical farmers. Probably
two hundred graduates are now pro.
noting better farming. either on farms
as expert advisers, or as government
experts. State College is proud Of the
fact that one Of her sons Is Cyril G..
Hopkins. the world famous soil ex.
pert, at the University OF III. She is
equally proud Of Cole, Chilcott, Whit
ten, Thornber, and a score of others
already mentioned in section !. An
enumeration Of the entire list of pro-
gressive farmers would pad this ar.
ticle too heavily for newspaper publ
cation. We should mention the fol-
lowing, however, who are becoming
prominent in their respective local.
