KEEP AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES
FREE FROM POLITICS.

Rather surprising information
reached us recently regarding a mat
ter OF Importance to every farmer In
the country and also to every con-
sumner of farm or garden products.
Our agricultural colleges have been
kept very free from politics: they have
been under the control of honest, up
right men, who have labored earnestly
to give facts and state results without
regard to any trade or outside industry
that might have been affected,
Now there ~ n rumor tiiat two
States at least are controlled by an
industry, protection from which
farmers have formerly relied upon
their state agricultural colleges, but
now the professors dare not give out
such information, as was the custom
previously, as 1t would mean their
dismissal.
The supposition IL that political con-
troll of other States will be rapidly ac-
quirod,
