STATE COLLEGE MAN HERE

III. r. Dawes, of Brookings college.
assistant superintendent of the farm
short course of the extension division
of the college was in Madison for a
short time this morning. arranging
for the course for next year in Lake
county. He came with the intention
of comforting with Geo. r.. Farmer,
president of the local organization,
but had only a few minutes, so had
to continue his way west.
Mr.. Dawes told a Daily Leader re-

supported by the agricultural depart
ment of the country. They hold no
institutes in these counties for OBJ
vious reasons.
Last year there was no farmers
institute held in Madison, though
four other towns of the county had
il divided among them, thus afford
ing greater accessibility to the sur
rounding farmers. The coming year
it is intended to have four days in
Madison and two in probably two
other towns of the county. This,
however, is not settled upon Off
cially.
In talking with Mr.. Farmer today
anent the county agent idea he said
that Ii was becoming very popular,
though it, had its weak features. In
many counties it was a success, while
i'm others it did not seem to make
marked improvement-due largely,
he thought, to the capabilities of the
man. This county, fortunate in hav-
ing two graduate and practical repre-
sentatives of agricultural training
and animal husbandry, is doubly for
tunate in having also a farm which
it can dedicate to the use of expert
ment along these lines.
Pursuant to this idea the feasibil-
ity of developing the county tract OF
land at Lake Herman, formerly the
townsite of Herman, to Tho use OF
experimental farming, conducted un-

year.
The division of animal husbandry
could not be taken up al this time.
Mr.. Farmer said, on account of the
expense. Besides the stock necessary
for successful demonstration, this
would necessitate buildings with
other improvements-too great an
outlay to be considered in the initial
stages of the enterprise. But it
would be a stride, and a long one in
the right direction to get even a farm
for demonstration use, with its at
tendant advisatory powers of seed
testing and grain disease preventa-
tives.
