The farming lands of the state
must be so thoroughly under
drained, so we'll broken, so COM
pletely filled with vegetable mat
ter, and the rougher portions of
the farms so constantly covered
with grass that surplus water
will the greater part of it, be
made to seep through the land
and thus leave gradually, rather
than to rush off the surface of
the soil to swell the creeks and
rivers to the bursting point.
Upon the farmers and their
wives of the future will fall in
a large degree the work of beau
tifying the state. The farm
homes off these future farmers
will reflect their culture and
prosperity, and the country will
give abundant evidence that our
state has recognized the import
ance of her greatest natural re-

thought to the training Of the
people in the land; has given tc
agriculture the dignity that its
Importance warrants.

engaged in winning a living, and
something for a rainy day, from
the soil.
These men and women are our
leading citizens; for they are en-
gagged in the most important in
dustry of ours, or any other State.
And the young men and women
that are, in the next generation,
to take up and carry on the work
of their fathers and mothers on
the land are the most important
factors that will enter into the
betterment of the States agricul-
ture.
How important then that the
training of these young lives be
along lines that will enable themte
dignity the work of their fathers
and improve upon it to the degree
that the increase of the world s
population demands.
This means an agricultural edu.
cation for every boy and girl that
is raised upon the farms of the
State; an education, by the way,
that unfits them in no way fol

choose to take up later; for {

The second floor of the build

The building will be lighted with

the great principles that pertain
to the soil will be one of the best
foundations upon which to rear
an educational structure and
will fit for any other business or
profession. And the hope of the
country as | see it is to make of
farm boys and girls farmers first,
then let the surplus go to other
callings; for the greatest need of
our State today is better farmer.
The greatest work that lies at
the door of these better farmers
of the future is the improvement
of the soils of our state; for it is
a fact that while our gross income
